Are we making a move on Westerman?

Post by karlhungis »

I found some interesting comments on the 247 boards last night. It sounds like we are making a move on Christian Westerman, the 5***** OG (#1 Guard on Scout) that is currently committed to Texas. This would be a pretty sweet addition to the class.

If we get westerman and shelton I have no problems losing Latu and walls. WELL worth it.

Westerman would be a RIDICULOUS addition
Sweetness. If we can land lee, walls and westerman, that would be spectacular.

WOW That would be a good pick up that is for sure. Big dude I wonder if he would get any bigger? Not that Oregon always wants the huge guys just wondering.

FWIW, I saw a few tweets a couple months back about how we had started picking up our recruiting with him. Given the coaching uncertainty in Texas, combine with our success -- apparently we're playing in some game about a month from now that's kind of a big deal, and it's practically in his back yard...

Having Johnstone already locked in can't hurt either.

With the rumors about Randall qualifying, makes me wonder if we're not still recruiting Hundley as well...

Yeah, I was wondering about Hundley. The 3 guys from Chandler would be a pretty sweet package deal.

What's this about Randall maybe not qualifying? I hadn't heard that.

Meh, it was a rumor sent out by JHop on 247 a few weeks back. More of a blip on the radar than anything else. Reading between the lines (literally and figuratively), it sounds like Hop's pretty confident that Randall is having some serious grade issues and looks JC bound. It's JHop so take it fwiw...

Could be something, could be nothing.

No, I started this "rumor" and it is not a rumor, it is true ( not that he WONT qualify, but that he is going to have a HARD time qualifying). My source on this is good.

Clearly crucial details to the overall story. Thanks for the imperative correction there Fecta.

In all seriousness, I don't think this is a surprise. Randall's the type of athlete that you take a chance on and overbook (if possible) in case he can't qualify. Even if he does and you oversign, SOMETHING beyond Chip or anyone elses' control will inevitably happen in the offseason opening up a spot or two...

Based on the verbiage, it sounds like we're no longer recruiting him, rather than we're 'losing' him...

Must mean good things for McReynolds, Shelton, and/or possibly Barr or Simmons as well...

This is a major longshot guys.

Sure Texas lost some of its assistants, but Mack is still there.

I'm not sure if we can get Hundley in on the package, he goes to a separate HS... Johnstone and Westerman already play on the same offensive line though, it's a pretty good pull.

Not sure how adept you are with english, glaze, but that is a pretty important distinction. And fecta does get to post info he gets. And personally, I'll thank him.

Thanks buddy! :)
