Solid but not stellar at OL and RB. Could say the same at QB.With #1 recruiting class,was there any areas you were disappointed in?
Hard to argue on Defense with 5 stars at all levels of the defense. Another LB would have been nice.

It's the #1 recruiting class. Are fans nit-picking the #1 recruiting class? I know there is always room for improvements, but it is the #1 recruiting class. Let's take the win and be grateful that it's not like it was just a few years ago.With #1 recruiting class,was there any areas you were disappointed in?
True. We do do opinions though. Are OL was solid but Fausi 5* Haygood 5*, Roger's high 4 or 5 Seems like missing one. I feel like trade Coleman brothers who 2 were 88 ,high 3 & their walk on brother. Good story but might not translate to starts but maybe depth. My 2 cents.It's the #1 recruiting class. Are fans nit-picking the #1 recruiting class?

After three years of recruiting you want to go there with your first sentence?Solid but not stellar at OL and RB. Could say the same at QB.

I think you are reading way too far into what I said. When I say solid but not stellar, I basically mean 4 star instead of 5 star.After three years of recruiting you want to go there with your first sentence?
Flood has hit on more than he has missed. His initial recruiting cycle had to include 5 stars to jump start the process. In Sark I trust when it comes to QB recruiting. The incoming QB is a two time state champion. RB's are one of the easiest positions to fill except for blitz pick up.
I just can't believe that anyone has gone this direction after what we just witnessed this last 30 days.
@BWilk55 Weren't you one of those that told me and others to chill out in June? What has changed?
And yes, everyone needs to continue to stay chill on recruiting with this staff. They proved once again that they are going to get the guys the want and put together a top ranking class by the end of the cycle.@BWilk55 Weren't you one of those that told me and others to chill out in June?

Having the #1 ranked recruiting class is great but I don't think that's as important as it used to be. Still we want to be a top ranked recruiting class, but with the portal, things have changed. We've had top recruits that just didn't fit our team. We've picked up players in the portal that have filled in and have done really well. I think this will be the successful model for the near future.And yes, everyone needs to continue to stay chill on recruiting with this staff.

This #1 ranked class is good enough to lead to future championships but there are position groups we will need to hit on higher prospects in next years class.
Texas has done a good job of being successful in both recruiting and the portal. I think an over reliance on either approach is trying to win with one hand tied behind your back.Having the #1 ranked recruiting class is great but I don't think that's as important as it used to be.

USC is the main competition here. Tuitele's coach raved about his instincts. 196 tackles is unreal.Folks, we may not be done with our top ranked 2025 class. We now have an Xavier Worthy situation where the recruit signed, but has now been released from that school. The following per OTF and Gerry Hamilton.
Texas will host an official visitor this weekend after Johnny Nansen offered 2025 linebacker A.J. Tuitele (North Las Vegas, NV/Mojave) Tuesday.
The 6-foot-3, 205-pounder made an official visit to USC last weekend, and is considered the favorite headed into the weekend visit to Texas.
Tuitele signed with Washington State December 4 over Arizona, but asked for his release following the departure of head coach Jake Dickert to Wake Forest.
He totaled 196 tackles, 39 tackles for loss, nine passes defended, five sacks, two caused fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 13 games for Mojave High.
Mojave High head coach Wes Pacheco told OnTexasFootball this on his star linebacker ...
"High motor everything! The real deal...Special once in a generation talent that has truly been under the radar... He will have an elite college career and play on Sundays in the NFL!"
