Don't see it Gramps. ( but if you did whats new) ? Texas always has top 5 classes
3* Chaaalie just lost his 3rd recruit of the week with another CB Davis expected to flip to Aubren and Lampkin rumored
by Ketchup to flip to OU
The other 2 cats out of Florida are grade risks and probably wont qualify
My delusional horn buddies think somehow they will get Murray, Mack and Lodge...it won't happen
3* Chaaalie will end up 11-15 right with the Sooner's
Depends on how an athlete is coached. I am sure some athletes were never coached and trained to their full potential on most teams.
Your not keeping up with recruiting.Originally posted by nail1988:

I'm not sure who said Murray was too short but they obviously never watched his film.
Anyway there isn't a recruit listed below that most people in the business think we have less than a 50% chance on, and no I'm not talking about Ketch. Unfortunately that's 10 guys and we only have room for 9. Will we get them all? Probably not, but based on what I have read on Aggie, OU and Texas sites the chances are good we will get a significant number of them. A lot of it hinges on Murray. We get him and a lot of dominoes could fall.
Locksley 4
Hill 4
Jamabo 5
Reed 4
Brossette 4
Warren 4
Boyd 4
Murray 5
Mack 5
Lodge 4

OU has now beaten Texas, on average, in rank, but Texas leads OU in stars and points. And OU signs about two more student athletes each year than does Texas.
In head-to-head years, Texas beat OU in rank seven of the thirteen years. Texas beat OU in stars in nine out of thirteen years. Texas beat OU in points in seven out of thirteen years. OU beat Texas in amount of student-athletes signed in eight out of thirteen years.
So, currently has OU been ranked higher overall and signed more student-athletes on average than did Texas in those thirteen years, while Texas has had higher averages in star average, and points and had more higher ranked classes than has OU.

Bottom line Texas will have a higher ranked class than OU. The difference will be if Charlie can coach Em up. I'm guessing he will. Congrats Gramps, I don't like you!
Rumor around Allen is that Murray really liked Austin, plus Charlie told him he could start right away. Look at his Twitter he is wearing a burnt orange tie.
The pipe dream actually has us getting Kyler Murray, DaMarkus Lodge, Soso Jamabo, Daylon Mack, Kris Boyd, Holton Hill, and John Burt.

utisdabomb and one other fan, does not equal "all" Texas fans. Are you laughing at your own hyperbole?

Strange that a poster named "Gramps" has never been cautioned to not count your chickens before they hatch.
Texas fans 2 days ago "Lodge and Mack are coming to Austin to play with Kyler."
This morning "Lodge and Mack don't care where Kyler goes they are coming to Austin!"

ketch was a complete idiot to go full in on Kyler. If lodge ends up at Ol, Miss then it says more of what klyer will do and may mean that if he goes in the first round of the draft he may end up in MLB. It was worth a shot for strong to go full on them, he had to, its the rest of the fan base that went full retard on the news they were there.
I still don't give a **** about recruiting rankings, but like pfka_ms, I still want to see at least one QB, Locksley and a grad transfer.
On a less tangible note, in my life, I've never seen a Texas staff that recruited this hard. Granted, this is a totally different game than even just 5 years ago with social media, recruiting coverage and theatrics, but the effort this staff put forth is very impressive to me.

Eh, your recruiting is all well and good, as it were.
The proof's in the pudding.
Y'all go 11-2, win the Big12, and we'll celebrate together.
Until then, lighten up.

Not too likely since the Texas' class is presently rated higher than the Ag's class.
I do get a chuckle out of the Ags celebrating a keeping a legacy, that committed to them 8 months ago, as a major recruiting victory. Texas should never of had any shot at flipping Murray.

No question. The end result on the playing field is all that matters. That said, there are a few big differences for our optimism:Originally posted by Soonersincefitty:

First and foremost, this is a different staff. They've had pretty decent track record in player evaluation and development
Secondly, we're recruiting kids that other big schools are also vying. Somebody posted a thread on our board of about 8 recruits that committed under Mack Brown that did not have their offers extended after Strong came on board. Of those 8, no one had a current offer better than SMU. Towards the end of Mack's regime, he'd make a bunch of early offers; have the class wrapped up way by their junior season and other schools feasted on Mack's misses.
There are so many examples. In 2011, several schools were recruiting Tyrone Swoopes. As evaluations went on, Texas and Ohio State both offered. As the season progressed, the emergence of JT Barrett caught people's attention. Ohio State backed off Swoopes, and Texas only too happy to lose the competitor and stuck with Swoopes and never bothered to properly evaluate and offer Barrett.
There you have it...
Thirdly,
