The highly-dramatic Junior Days of the Mack Brown era featuring numerous offers and commitments are long gone for the Texas Longhorns, but that didn’t blunt the importance of what head coach Tom Herman and his coaching staff accomplished over the weekend.
For many of the 2019 and 2020 prospects in attendance, it wasn’t their first time on campus or spending time with the coaches. However, it was the first time that they were the sole focus of attention with the added clarity of the support staff piecing together the needs and numbers moving forward.
Many of the prospects who toured the 40 Acres don’t have offers and may not receive offers, but building those relationships is critical for the staff as the track the development of the lower-rated 2019 prospects and position themselves to start full-on 2020 recruiting at this time next year.
