Wait, I think the consensus thinking is Texas with some noise coming from LSU. Lamar has not “said” anything. Mods were leaning Texas last week so not sure where this is coming from.
Aggy won’t put recruit us. Just watch.

@Ketchum , I know your job is to create as much angst as possible, but the notion that you just analyzed the "consensus" of OL rankings is a joke. 247 has Blanton, Ghirmai, and Hines all ranked within 8 spots of each other, and Wilson is ranked slightly behind all three. They also have Ghirmai and Moore both ranked higher than Clement. That's not to say who will be better, but you should be better than trying to pass off that "consensus" nonsense.
I have decided to block Items 1 - 5 out of my mind and move forward with more optimism in how the future goes for Texas.
Other than Luke Matthews, I'll pass on the other 3 dudes. Reese Moore is going to be a player. I'm not high on Ghirmai, but I think he ends up inside and is light years better than Clement.
I think you guys are under estimating how much Fisher and co. are about to "play the game" in recruiting
Rivals have our linemen ranked way too low, they are 4* on every other site but rivals. I’ll take our 3 vs a&m 3, each has major upside if they get to sit and develop especially Moore. Add on 2 jucos for depth purposes get our guys on team healthy plus young guys develop we’ll be alright
I completely agree and understand that you need War Daddys to win a National championship. Having said that, Okie Lite, TCU, etc. have been winning and competing for Big 12 championships with mostly 2-3 star players with a few 4 stars sprinkled in. UT, at worst, should be winning or playing for conference championships

The fact that OU and TCU are the top two teams in the Big 12 make me question that the Big 12 is 7 on 7 conference. Success in a power 5 conference requires big uglies. However, Texas being a 7 on 7 team is pretty much spot on. 6-6. I just hope we see some progress between now and February to correct our most obvious weakness.
No, the data from the last 20 years doesn't reflect that. There is a slight decline from the national numbers, but nothing drastic. I'll try to find the link for you to the research I did on it.
I just think I've seen shitty A&M coaches get amazing first-year bumps every time time they break a guy in. They've got someone who will bring a ton of first-year heat and Texas is coming off of a 6-6 regular season.
Both should have top 10 classes.
Texas seems to think Texas. LSU seems to think LSU. Houston Lamar seems to think LSU.
Also, Never, EVER has sympathy for the steelers when it comes to officiating. No team in the history of the NFL has had as many questionable calls go in their favor as the steelers.[/QUOTE]
Completely agree. Despise the Steelers.

I don't think anyone is must-have. Most of the top guys are bunched together and have the same long-term, sketchy projections.
Maybe 1 or 2 from the group of about 7-8 will emerge.
as I stated in the column, whether they rank as four stars or high three stars, it doesn't change their long-term outlook very much, at least not based on a 20-year history of the rankings.
This is incorrect. Cook will declare for the Horns.
