I love what he stands for, love the discipline, love the defense, but his recruiting is laughable at this point. We lost Stevenson, now Weathersby, and Lampkin doesn't seem to be solid. He recruits like he's still at Louisville.
Let's look a little closer at the top 30 in Texas.
1-10...
1. Jefferson we want him, but he loves Sumlim, even with no DC and 11-2, then 9-4, then 7-5 and no defense NFL
2. Thompson ALA committed before Strong even started
3. Sheffield
4. Teuhema LSU decommitted before Strong started
5. Lodge
6. Murray A&M legacy, were never in picture
7. Mack A&M early
8. Boyd Texas lean?
9. Stidham Baylor ? Never considered us.
10. Jamabo
11-20
11 Silverand A&M
12. Evans OKLA before Strong came on board
13 Weatherby
14 Ronald Jones II
15 Pryor A&M
16 Humphrey OKLA did not offer
17 Davis A&M don't want douchbag TE
18 H. Hill
19 Strickland TT
20 Mbanasor OKLA no early offer, feelings hurt
21-30
21 Anderson OKLA did not offer
22 Warren Texas lean?
23 Newsome Texas lean?
24 President BAYLOR did not offer, already committed when Strong came
25 Lockhart A&M backed off him
26 Daniels
27 Elam early to A&M
28 Grey
29 Stevenson WIS decommited from us
30 McKinney ND did not offer
So in the top 10, of the six commited, Thompson and Teuhema were aready commited, Murray and Stidham were never considering UT, and Mack was A&M early. Malik loves Scumlin, what can we do? That's six out of ten gone before Strong even got started.
11-20...Evans commited to OKLA before Strong arrived. Didn't offer Jones II, Humphrey (OKLA), or Strickland. Didn't offer Mbanasor early enough, got pissed and commited to OKLA. Silverand, Pryor, and Davis commited to A&M early. Weatherby decommited from us. Still, that is eight out of the ten that were already gone in first month or we never offered. We're still recruiting Hill and we lost Weatherby.
21-30...President commited to BAYLOR before Strong came. Did not offer Anderson, Grey or McKinney. Backed off of Lockhart and Daniels. Stevenson decommited from us. Elam was A&M early.
Thus, we were only able to seriously recruit 4 of the top 10, only two of 11-20 (Hill and Weathersby), and only three of 21-30 (lost stevenson, Warren and Newsome are UT leans). So Strong only had a chance at 9 out the top 30 by March. Less than a third available to actually recruit by end of March. So, yes 0-30 so far, but really 0-9 with three leans. If we get those three, and Cherry would be top 30, we would finish with 4 out of 30, the same as OKLA. A&M has 7.
