Herman Taking Satellite Camps Outta State This Summer

Tom Herman announced [that] the Longhorns will hold several satellite camps in different states in June and July. They will start the summer with an on-campus camp on May 28 followed by three more in Austin before hitting the road. Herman and Texas will make stops in Atlanta, Las Vegas, the Florida coast area and Southern Louisiana, he said.

"The rule has changed to give you 10, throughout June and July," Herman said. "We’re not going to have 10 on our campus, that just waters it down. But we’re not going to waste it either."

Herman's opinion is if they're available you might as well use them. The staff, Herman said, will focus on building a team with the best available players in Texas, but he's not afraid to go out of state either when the need arises.

"It's just a way for us to get our brand out there," Herman said.

Herman does like to spend OPM, but it has to be done to keep the brand up.

 

This is so much better than having a coach who whines because Michigan or Ohio State conducts satellite camps in your vicinity.

A goodie, but an oldie (6 months or so).

 

Shaw is very arrogant. Odds are Shaw was just another student who wouldn't have gotten into Stanford if he wasn't an athlete. Even then he graduated with a Sociology degree -- not exactly rocket science.

"Looking at the Stanfordrecruitment class of 2009 (this year was quite typical in terms of test scores), the median football player who reported scores got an 1800 out of 2400 on the SAT and 26 on the ACT. Based on university statistics, this puts the football median comfortably in the bottom quartile and likely somewhere in the bottom 10 percent in terms of test scores. Stanford football players are quite smart, but the data suggests they place near the bottom of Stanford’s admits."

Addendum added in proof:

UT Average SAT: 1904
UT Average ACT: 29
Most of Stanford's elite "academic" football players wouldn't have gotten into the UT general population either.
