2019 Recruiting Thread

I think your case got destroyed. Every single guy on there was highly rated except Brian Robison (how many 5 star white DL's are there gonna be LOL). And on top of that they were about 40% five stars. That's INSANE stats.
They actually offered him as a wide out at first he wasn't even interested in us till we still started winning and then closed out his recruitment, so we are like yeah you can have a shot at QB as well.
Sigh. My case is that one does not have to be a 5 star to be great. That 5 star ranking is not the be all end all.
You gave a list of greats that included not even half 5 stars. Let's just say 10 of them were 5 stars to be nice. That's still only half of them. That means over what, 14, 15 years, we didn't get a 5 star every year. Yet we still always had freaks.
This means a lot of 3 and 4 stars turned about to be great, despite idiotic recruiting rankings. Destroyed? Lol. You made my case.
NONE of them were three stars except for one guy. And there is an extremely small amount of five star guys in the whole nation in any given year.
How do you keep missing the point? My whole point was just because we're not loaded with 5 stars, doesn't mean we're not getting great players. 5 stars. 5 stars. 5 stars, do you get it yet? It was all about 5 stars. I don't care how many were 3 or 4 stars, my point was that those guys can still be freaks.
Btw, 3 of those guys, three of the best on the list, were most certainly NOT 4, or even 3 star DL recruits. They were RBs.
Houston, Melton, and Whaley were not three stars. They were all very highly rated national top 100 four stars. In fact they were much closer to 5 stars than 3 stars. Yes Melton got a chance at RB and Whaley got two minutes only, Houston none. However, they all ended up and stayed where everyone suspected they would....on the DL as freaks.
If you read the article above, DL is important but it's the team speed with size that is more important as spread offenses have negated the advantage of recruiting large immovable DL. The linebackers are key. We need a replacement for gj.

Look at your adopted big bro... (Tua) and all the passing that is going on at Bama. Looks like the backward $ec is learning, albeit behind the curve.
Orlando's D would do well in the $ec because it is easily adaptable to stopping many offensive schemes including running teams, think run blitz. He would run a heavy nickel package against $ec teams.

we need more than 5 or 6 capable lineman thats my only point. we are 1 olineman injury away from last years oline
Just be thankful that there are no true freshmen starting like the last few years.
We'll most likely be in the grad transfer market again.
This table makes it all easy to look at-

Cuero will be in Austin tomorrow playing Eastside Memorial if anybody wants to go see Jordan Whittington. However, Eastside is 0-7, so get there early. Jordan might not be in the game too long. Lol
Just a reminder that we might just be getting a hotshot WR from St Louis this evening around 6PM CST. And his hot shot APB teammate in the next class who's been a UT lean sure seems happy about it.
Missouri pipeline: A.Adeoye, D.Carson, M.Washington, M.Cooper, S.Cooper?
Will also mark the 7th state recruited in this class: TX, OK, AZ, CA, FL, GA, MO

Good get but not a huge need. We've already got two day one impact receivers coming in January as early enrollees. Still in the hunt for Bru McCoy as well.
Duvernay is a speed burner and could very well be the #1 receiver if CJ and LJH leave, and right now that's still a big "if".

That state list is impressive stuff! We're gonna be loaded at WR again next season.
Now if we can get another 325 lb. tackle!
Sunday night. 2020 guard from outside SA. #4 guard in the country.

I disagree. I don't want to rely on the hope of hitting the jackpot with guys that are still in high school right now. Plus they are both slot type receivers and Washington is a big body. Also, Duvy is a one trick pony that doesn't have half the skill set CJ and LJH do.
Really hoping that at least one of CJ or LJH stay. I'm going to enjoy them now as they might be the greatest WR duo the Horns have ever had.
I don't think that LJH has done nearly enough to warrant a draft slot better than a late round selection. He may have an attitude issue as well. The twitter deal as well as tonight's suspension.
Correct. This is what a blue blood program does when a Lil bro program is doling out cash in state like crazy. Texas recruiting appeal is universal and worldwide.
Like the Conquistadors of 300 years ago, they are after the 3Gs

NFL awaits
Do 7th round picks and FA signs get signing bonuses? I can’t imagine those guys having much draft stock
