What seems different about Keisean, he did his homework. He wants to play QB, so who gives him the best chance to play QB. He wants to stay home so family is important. He obviously likes UH and has started recruiting WR’s and OL to come to UH. CWF hit it out of the park with this guy.

As long as Coach does not kiss players, get UH braces on his teeth, or have an eye twitch, I am happy.

If you have had the pleasure to meet CWF, it is more a Yeoman vibe than a Herman vibe.

Sure, but it will be helpful if he can tile floors.
I agree, but damn…
I mean how can you pass up the Texas job? Honestly

I know. That job ranks right up there with javelin catcher for me.

I would have no problem passing up the Texas job, but someone not as invested as me would probably jump at it in that time when we were locked out of the B12. But, LTH was a tinhorn lier.

Herman was all about Herman. He really could have sustained the culture he was installing. What a waste. Doesn’t work up in Austin, but blue collar is every bit a UH branding.
Our most successful players of recent have out worked their 4 and 5 star counterparts.

Depending on what the domino effect can be, this might wind up being a huge get.
This year is a mulligan but next year we need a bowl game minimum in order to be get Big XII worthy recruiting hauls. In CWF I trust.
I don’t want to look for another coach this decade.

To be successful next year, Fritz will have to recruit OLs like crazy. We lose multiple OL seniors after this season.
This is great news!
We absolutely cannot start all over with a new Head Football Coach.
Fritz is showing success at the very first requirement for a good program.
Recruiting. Cannot win without the players. All of us Goldie Oldies witnessed the excellent talent signed by Coach Yeoman. Most of our greatest players were Yeoman players. Even Andre Ware was a Yeoman recruit.
Excited for Coach Fritz! Go Cougars!

I remember Yeoman’s recruiting classes very well and I remember us getting only 3 or 4 of the Houston area top 100 every year and maybe one or two Texas top 100 as listed in the Houston Post and Houston Chronicle. UT and aTm would load up each year yet we won for the first few years until Dr. J. Neils Thompson and Charles Allen Wright (NCAA president and infractions committee member), both of UT administration, finally got us ground down due to recruiting Darrell Shepard.

Exactly. This is for anyone trying to deny that madcowsu located in Austin had no influence on our probations. You know who you are.

We recruited extremely well under Yeoman. That tailed off his last few years, but we recruited toe to toe with Texas and A&M in the 70s. Our '73 and '77 classes were top 3 nationally and others in the 70s and early 80s would be top 25 classes today.
Here’s Teranova’s leader list in 1977 recruit crops:
(1) UCLA, (2) Oklahoma, (3) Houston, (4) Florida, (5) Ohio State, (6) Pittsburgh, (7) Washington, (8) Colorado, (9) Auburn, (10) Michigan.
In '73 we signed something like six of Dave Campbell’s Texas Football’s seventeen or eighteen blue chippers. Jeff Bergeron, Wilson Whitley, and Lee Canalito, who had made the team as a junior the year before, were all Parade All-Americans and the equivalent of five-star players today. In '77, we again signed three Parade All-Americans: Darrell Shepard, Hosea Taylor, and Alvin Ruben. In 1980 we signed a national top 20 class, and in '81 Texas Football rated the SWC recruiting race a tie between UH, UT, and Baylor. The idea that UH won with a bunch of blue-collar sleepers that no one but Yeoman knew about is a myth. Players like those listed along with Maceo Fifer, Raymond Tate, Lloyd Archie, TJ Turner, David Hodge, Patrick Franklin, Todd Schoppe, Randy Thornton, and others were among the best recruits in the country.

This is exactly why madcowsu located in Austin conspired with the ncaa to torpedo us multiple times. They did so to kill any momentum that we had.
Thank you for posting.
