That list of offers is deeply concerning. Fritz gets a failing grade in recruiting at Tulane so far.

In the court of public opinion, which means NOTHING, he may indeed be failing. But let's see if the kids he brings in can play. CJ had his class of "big thumpers" for the OL. They stunk and continue to stink. Who cares if the ratings services or other colleges want the young men? I care about if they can play the game. BLOCK SOMEBODY! Something our O-Line has been challenged to do for a long time now.

UTSA signed Tanzel's Brother Keeyon. That young man can play, I wish him nothing but success.

Didn't he originally commit to Tulane? Or did he have another brother that I'm confusing (or am I just confused?)

You are correct. He did not return for spring drills after CJ was replaced with Fritz in 2016. It also seems that he may have also had eligibility issues.

I think we misunderstood what CJ said, we heard "Big Thumpers"....he actually said "Big Blubbers"...

Ha exactly Golf. Anyone who watched any of our games last season saw that our o-line looked slow and out of shape compared to our competition. The supposed road graders we were supposed to have under CJ turned out to be road kill.

So did Bill Yeoman at UH. He recruited players (primarily from east Texas) that nobody wanted or had even heard of--but they could sure run Yeoman's Veer offense.

U are correct sir...my cousin played for Yeoman, went there as a QB but played DB back in the day....I may be incorrect, but when UH was admitted into the SWC, the SWC ruled they could not be eligible for the Football Championship their first year, if I remember UH went undefeated that first season in conference play...I also think they won 3 of the first 4 SWC titles they were eligible for..not bad for not recruiting "name" players

In Coach Fritz, Coach Ruse & Coach Atkins I trust. The value of the scheme element in the r/o spread has waned particularly if you do not have a remarkably well-suited QB (Deshaun Watson, Cam Newton, Shaun King), nothing else seems to matter.

That lasted for a decade, or so, like the r/o spread & Rich Rod's ascension. Everything gets caught up with. Talent & execution seems to never go out of style.

but for a misguided Texas GuvNuh, UH would be in the Big 12...but she insisted her alma mater Baylor be included, so that dumped UH...all things being equal, UH was still in the mix, but Tx Tech made more geographical sense for Colorado and Iowa State and in some small way OU and OSU...so UH got the ax

I hear you loudly & clearly! In spite of all demographic data, the inclusion of a bunch of overly repressed Baptists in Waco somehow prevailed?

Geography may have helped TT, at UH's expense, but TT primarily got in the mix because the then Texas Speaker of the House, Gib Lewis, was a TT alum, and he did the same thing that Gov. Ma Richardson did for Baylor--it was all politics. Not only did UH get hosed, but so did SMU who had dominated those teams throughout the 80's.

You mean those SMU teams right before the death penalty? Yes, those were some great teams, they had a higher payroll than many of the NFL teams. Eric Dickerson asked to get traded from the Rams because he made more money in college!

Many of the teams in question had payrolls, as do most of the football factories around the country--then and now. NCAA has acknowledged that they made a huge mistake slapping the death penalty on SMU. There has since been several more egregious violations, but the NCAA will not repeat the mistake it made with SMU.
