Never knew this about his journey. Herman truly was a moron from start to finish.
Quote:

Bernard committed to the University of Houston, but when coach Tom Herman departed for the prestigious Texas Longhorns gig, he didn't summon his recruit to Austin.

"We waited around and waited around," Whitely said. "Then we got an email, saying they weren't going to recruit him to Texas. That ticked him off, ticked us off and helped send him to Baylor."

The consequences proved a blessing. One visit with new Baylor coach Matt Rhule and Bernard was smitten. The switch soon sent Bernard on an NFL trajectory albeit not obviously from the beginning.

Also shows recruiting services are as accurate about off ball linebackers as NFL scouts. Put up big numbers in Texas 6A ball and then big numbers in the Big12 and doubted every step of the way by the league one step above.

Look at the best off ball linebackers in the NFL right now. Only like two were first round draft picks. Was stoked when my Titans picked David Long from West Virginia in the 6th round. Big12 defensive player of the year who had 100+ tackles for the Dolphins last year.

Bernard - 3rd round
Fred Warner- 3rd round
Demario Davis- 3rd round
Matt Milano- 5th round
Dre Greenlaw- 5th round
