I am one that can tell you that I was really looking for a recruiting boost with a new coaching hire. I come away knowing this did not happen. Coach Strong will have to coach up the players he did sign hopefully to better levels that they were originally rated. Don't let anyone tell you different as a UT fan, it is very hard to see A&M so far ahead of us in the recruiting battle. If Texas has a mediocre season next year then look for that gap to become a canyon.

A&M is No. 4, Texas No. 16. It is already a canyon.

Well luckily Texas still has parts of a #2, #3, and #3 ranked classes still on campus. If any type of promise is shown is shown this season Texas will be back in the top 5. Sumlin still has to prove he can do something without JFF.

Great point , one down year of recruiting which is still better then a whole lot of other college recruiting classes will not make that much of a difference at Texas. All three previous years were still better then a&m's class this year, let's see what happens in recruiting for 2015. Txas will be just fine, Strong will take Mack's recruit's and make them better. Time will tell.

Texas will be just fine, I beleive Strong will take Mack's recruit's and make them better. Time will tell, the Country club atmosphere is over at Texas. Work hard or get passed up, I like it.

don't go by the recruiting class ratings....out of those classes you all are speaking of what do you have out those groups that will help? Is there a solid core to build around? Plus don't forget your second to last sentence sums up what you all have recruited in those good classes will THEY be able to change?

I think the core is fantastic. I'd say a majority of this team is under coached and not physically prepared enough. As I said in the other thread if they can even get half the potential out of this core we will see a significant turn around.

So let me get this straight, if Texas recruiting classes are ranked high that does not mean anything however if atm class is ranked high then it is legit. Make sense, not.
