Wow Charlie Strong...great job on the recruiting trail!

[bigcountry]

......and might as well keep this momentum going. Today, Horns pick up another great prospect. The Florida Fab 5 is complete! Horns get commit today from 6'5" receiver Gilbert Johnson. Johnson had decommitted from Georgia, and had offers from LSU, Tennessee, & Louisville to name a few. As quoted from a recruiting source, "he is a dynamic receiver, can stretch the field, creates mismatches in the red zone, athletic background that includes basketball, has serious jumping ability, can track the ball & attacks the football with his hands." Great pickup. I like taller receivers & Johnson fits the bill. Charlie's Florida (a hot bed of great talent) connection paying off for the 2015 class! Get on the train boys, it's about to leave the station! ....and HOOK'EM DANG HORNS!

Who is going to throw to him?????????????

Have you ever heard of two time State Champion QB Jerrod Heard of Denton Guyer who was promised to his parents a redshirt year? If not, tune in next year....you'll know him then. How about the potential backup in this year's recruiting class, 6'7" 235 pound Zach Gentry from Albuquerque who was recently named the New Mexico Gatorade Player of the Year by USA Today? His senior year, Gentry rushed for 1057 yards and 22 scores (not shabby for someone 6'7"!!) & threw for 2978 yards & 26 touchdown passes. If you haven't heard of him, stay tuned the next several years. Again, there are not many weaknesses you are going to find with Charlie Strong's recruiting right now....and just what we are in need of! Hook'Em!

Hey, we go wherever we have to to find great talent. If it's New Mexico, so be it. Brian Urlacher says "hi".

No different than Kyle Allen or Christian Kirk?

It doesn't mean anything one way or the other, but seeing how many FL players played in Louisville tells me it must be Strong's preferred recruiting grounds.

OTOH, if there are only about a couple hundred people that live in New Mexico, it must be a really big deal to be the best from that state in anything...jk
