speaking of texas recruiting, seeing them this far down seems weird
Hey in 2021 we were ranked only 16th and everybody was up in arms. Most of the great players went out of state that year especially Alabama.speaking of texas recruiting, seeing them this far down seems weird
Why do people always say stuff like that when the recruiting class is rated lower than what is typical? Not just you, I notice this in pretty much every fan base. You still want the best players, you need to get as many of them as possible because not everyone pans out. those who are rated higher in the rankings tend to have a higher success rate of developing into difference makers.Sark plays the long game. Much different than Mack.
And Sark recruits the LOS unlike Strong and Herman.
Also, Sark trusts the portal as well.
No reason to panic
Yes it was a fine year but the margins are slim. The games against tcu, ksu and houston all came down to the final minutes or seconds, and we could have been looking at last season in a completely different way.Hey in 2021 we were ranked only 16th and everybody was up in arms.

But hey look how it turned out the guys that stayed played great. I trust our coaches.
While I agree with you, I seem to remember that Mack would, for example, tell 3 running backs there is only one offer - whoever accepts first gets it. And missed out on getting some of the truly top recruits by closing out early. No idea if this is true, but I read it many times.Why do people always say stuff like that when the recruiting class is rated lower than what is typical?

He may play the long game but he also recruits top players every cycle, that's his MO. His 24 class was #6. His 23 class was ranked #3. His 22 class was #5. So clearly he does go after the best players and gets most of them. I know signing day is over 4 months away but being out of the top 10 in recruiting, even on July 27, that's not intentional. He's still going after all the big fish that all the other big time programs are going after. It seems that he's not landing them at the same level as in previous classes.
And that's why it's weird seeing them at 13th today instead of say 4th or 5th where they seem to always be.

Times are changing. With the advent of NIL, you've got tons of flips at the last second. It's a bidding war now. An arms race. If you're still recruiting like you did under Mack Brown, you've lost. The rules are being written daily.Why do people always say stuff like that when the recruiting class is rated lower than what is typical? Not just you, I notice this in pretty much every fan base.
