If its a top 10 class, then it will be closer to 10. We've got a place kicker and deep snapper in this class holding our ranking down.

I respect both parties in the great OL debate and appreciate both your contributions
A couple thoughts:
One is assuming the staff knows what they are doing and the other is questioning whether they know what they are doing.
Cristobal at Wisconsin was know for having leading rushers like Dayne and others. Could he prefer a bigger lineman that is run first over Flood/SS that also want to pass?
How many OL does the staff want to sign? I agree I would like to see 5 or even 6 in light of last year, but uncertain what SS thinks.
Flood and SS are human. Don't know what Cam told them, but it could have altered their thinking on Sexton and they could have made a mistake. No way to tell. Alternatively, they may know enough about Devon and Banks that they feel ok that they didn't want to 'stretch' on a fifth OL (I know little about OL qualifications so please don't take it as an insult to Sexton as much as a theory). I am going to be an optimist and assume it is a good sign with Banks because the alternative is too disturbing.
I doubt we will ever know for a fact what the answer is I am so surprised by the rhetoric, but appreciate the analysis. That is why i keep coming back here: Good info and thoughts.

Seems like one of the kicker or deep snapper does not count not sure.
At six spot now Texas will have to sign a lot of three stars to drop much. I am betting on two more five stars.

Recruiting rankings mean absolutely nothing to me as long as they can get the best possible players they can to win. If that means they pick a lot of 3 stars that are underrated then so be it. With that said, I want Banks and Campbell on the OL and they happen to be 5 star recruits.
One thing I'm completely baffled by is recruits at key positions not jumping in the Longhorn boat. I understand Texas had problems developing players with former staffs, but didn't they just go out and hire the guy that developed OL for the NFL? And didn't they just hire a guy that led Bama to their most productive offense in years and had a Heisman winner at WR? I figured OL and WR would be easier than it has been. I know if I was at one of those positions I would be calling them for a spot. I get it, Bama has put OL into the NFL, but surely the OL coach had something to do with it.

I think Sark's staff has enough street cred. They have produced.
Between the negative recruiting and having to live with a bad reputation from the past regimes, this staff has to work hard to get where they want to be.
The hard work will start paying off.
I predict the fish will be jumping in the boat if we can start the season undefeated and after we beat OU.

- OrangeBloods is expecting DT KJ Miles of Jersey City, NJ to pick Georgia Tech tomorrow.
- They feel CB Xavion Brice of Arlington Seguin will commit to Oklahoma.
- WR CJ Williams of Santa Ana, CA is making some sort of announcement tomorrow, and it's expected to be Notre Dame if he's committing.

First 5* have a much greater chance of making a greatplayerthan 3*.
If we lose acoupleof ganes early ( heaven forbid) will the fish start jumplng out of the boat.
Beating OU has been tough and willbe tougher this year. Then it is the Red River shootout so any thing can happen

I take great exception from your last sentence. lol. From time to time, I get hunches. The last time we beat OU was preceded by a hunch I had almost a year before the game.
I like Spencer Rattler as a QB. It took a man to get his head out of a funk and beat us last year. So I respect him. However, he's very beatable.
The player I fear most on the OU roster is the Mims kid. That guy can play and will hurt you.

I wanted Mimsfor Texas. You are right he is scary. To methier defenceis going to be best in years. Off. alwaysis good
Banks tommorow and morelater. However I feel better about Campbell commiting than Banks.

- OrangeBloods believes Miles is a case of the staff having other targets in mind, like Bledsoe and Bryant.
- Brice told 247 today he hasn't heard much from Texas since receiving an offer.

From OrangeBloods' latest update at 9 p.m. on OL Kelvin Banks of Humble Summer Creek, they expect it to be A&M or Oregon tomorrow.
