You can't win them all.
When it comes to college football recruiting, it's as much of a golden rule as anything else, a constant reminder that the challenge of winning the talent development game is like trying to beat the dealer in Vegas ... you can do it ... hell, you can make a living on it ... but it's much easier said than done.
In the most generic terms possible, high-stakes recruiting hits like a coin flip.
One of the quiet secrets of the Texas success from the last few years hasn't been that it has landed so many super blue chip prospects as much as it has actually hit on a higher number of super blue chips than the basic math involved in the discussion typically allows for.
Texas is hitting on Kelvin Banks, Quinn Ewers, Anthony Hill and Colin Simmons way more than it has been missing on Johntay Cooks. The key to the 2025 season might hinge on UT's ability to continue to do so.
