Coach Chico Tweet

BillySee58 · February 1, 2014

Interesting. Does that mean the team is full, or he has completed his personal recruiting responsibilities for the class?
Where does this leave us with X? Already a stealth commit? Already told the coaches he wasn't coming here?
So many questions the next couple of days.

Many schools are starting up their 2015 recruiting know. Lets those kids know they will be a priority in the upcoming cycle, and makes sure they will be attending junior day next Saturday. A lot of coaches all across the country visiting with 2015 kids this week. Especially with qbs. Coaches like to visit with the guys they will be going after next class.

Keep in mind it was just a day trip and Chico will be back for the weekend when the official visitor(s) (don't know anyone outside of Wilson) will be here. My point is you're reading too much into the implications of what this means for our 2014 class if it was a 2015 kid he was seeing, 90

There's no contact allowed with 2015 recruits at the moment. You can meet with the coaches of a 2015 prospect but not face to face with the recruit. So they must've met with a 2014 prospect.

According to rivals we've only been after 1 recruit from Pflugerville.

Just said he had dinner in Pflugerville before the home visit. Could have been someone from Round Rock or Ceder Park or any of the Austin schools.

Florida Gators hosted a junior day last weekend and are hosting another one this weekend.

As is Clemson.

Tennessee head coach flew to New Mexico to meet with a 2015 qb prospect.

Auburn coach visited a 2015 kid.

Not saying that's what Chico was doing, but coaches are visiting with 2015 kids already. I think the catch is that the coach has to visit the kid at his high school, likely in the coaches office. No in-home visits yet; that much I'm 99% sure of. Chico's tweet said it was an in-home visit, so that wasn't the case.

SN: Very excited about our upcoming junior day. Not saying we get a commit, but I'm sure we'll impress plenty of talented juniors.

I think you guys are reading way too much into this. More than likely he was visiting Tillman Johnson , whom he's been recruiting. Just because a kid commits doesn't mean you stop pursing him. Always, always have to make sure you know where you stand so you don't get blindsided come signing day

Chico says we're filled up for 2014. Might just mean we're not looking into any more prospects, not necessarily that we're all full on commits.

I agree with your assessment, BillySee58.

I'd find it hard to believe coach Canales wouldn't follow up to see who this (I would assume) Florida coach prospect is. It's a long shot but what if the HS player is a 3 or 4 star prospect with Texas roots. Coach Calales might not tweet about calling interested Fl. coach to inquire about propect but I'm sure it's worth a follow call. If nothing else just ensuring you show Fl. coach professional courtesy to build a quality recruiting foundation. It's good to see that HS coach's across the US are following up with our coach's on prospects based on prior professional relationships ie coach Canales time in Fl. with USF, or HS coach's awareness that UNT played bowl game on New Year's day!!!

They went on to exchange a little contact info and talk about how they will have a good class next year at that school and in that area and Chico said they would keep up with that school in the fall. Maybe we begin recruiting Florida a little. We're starting to recruit Texas well enough to where we can target a few out of state guys and not be hurting if we don't get them.

He was visiting this 2015 recruit. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2819427/highlights/73543392

Harry · February 1, 2014

Campus visits are allowed, junior days on campus. Coaches can't meet with recruits at the moment. None of those articles say they met with the prospect. Coaches are talking to the prospects hs coaches. And yes! Super excited about the upcoming jr day!

I think you may be right James. I did notice Coach Chico follows this prospect on twitter. Good find! +1

H-towngreen · February 1, 2014

Yes, lets starting working those DLine recruits!

Super excited about the upcoming jr day. I wouldn't be surprised to see us get a commit. It's been happening earlier and earlier plus coming off a 9 win season.....
