Texas Recruiting

Wait?? How can this be? Our class and recruiting sucks!!
Welcome aboard young man. More to come!!
Fasusi, Terry, and who else?
I think that guy's going be really good. Glad we got him.
Money is not as great as you think it is. There's a reason why he recruited better classes when he was at OU. Same reason he's #18 right now, which is the same reason he finished 17th in 24 class- that they are not top tier in NIL. They are closer to tier 3.
We got oregon, aggie, maybe miami, like tier 0 in a class above everyone, they just throw money away.
Tier 1 is like ohio state, texas, alabama, probably georgia.
Tier 2 we got teams like OU, missouri, tennessee, nebraska, probably colorado, lsu, maybe michigan, maybe ND and psu
Tier 3 is where usc would be. with programs like clemson, and florida
Sure usc has unique opportunities that only they can offer a special player or 2, someone like caleb williams would make out nicely. but it's not the same for everyone else. if it was, they'd have no trouble locking california down completely and being consistently in the top 5.
E.g. class of 24, the top 10 players in california, oregon had 3 of them. usc had 0.
Ou and texas even had 1 each, bama had 2.
top 25 players in california, even washington has 3, oregon has 7. usc only had 4.
He's struggling to recruit with the best and usc level of commitment to NIL is one of the reasons why
I’d put Oregon in tier 1 with Nike deep pockets. Now winning it all seems to be the bigger challenge for them.
I dont know exactly but tier 0 is like, a deep endless well of stupidity. will probably always be the highest offer for any big time player.
1 is like, nobody will beat you for a higher offer except for tier 0. they have the most to spread around, can offer pretty much the top tier amount for a small handful of someones they want when going 1x1 against another school. they'll be able to do this for more players than tiers 2 and 3.
2 is like 1 but to a lesser extent. they spread their NIL around well and everyone still gets to eat very well. they can afford to offer massive amounts to special players they like so they can recruit with the best.
3 is still really good but less to spread around. they can snipe a player or 2 away from the other tiers but they dont have the wad to blow on more than a couple super star types in a given cycle. so they'll be capable of taking a 5 star away from anyone here and there.
Question-- and I'm being sincere here--
How many recruiting trips did you go on- where were they to-- how much cash were you offered?
Fasusi CBs to Oklahoma.
That's a bummer. Of course if we can land Nick Brooks then it's not a huge issue. Miss on both and Texas may have to start upping the NIL money.

Yeah, agreed--particularly when it's ou.
But we do have Trevor Goosby in reserve, that from all I hear, he's really coming on strong and is Bank's backup. He will most likely slide right as the starter--(even if Fasusi comes to Texas).
This can give us a chance to land a player like Turntine-an OT in the 2026 class who is Fasusi-like.
Baker would be in front of Fasusi as well. He was a high 5 star from Kalifornia last year. Fasusi does not want to wait and learn.... These guys don't always pan out because they start early, make mistakes, and lose their edge. Be patient, wait and learn.
Texas has more money than all 3 combined but Texas doesn't play that game. Why pay for a dude that will sit for at least 2 years? Look, Texas has its $$ range and knows that it can pull Texans from any part of the country when it calls. We don't need to overpay at the brothel because secretly the hos be hopin for it.
