Quick Thoughts: No, you're not dreaming......

[Mike Garland]

Kyler Murray, DeMarkus Lodge, Soso Jamabo and Daylon Mack all in the same week. 

*All four of these are among the top at their positions, nationally. 

*You hear all the time about "domino effect"... Well, this is it and trust me.... It's not over yet. 

*Recruiting momentum is as high as it's been in a long time, but that's all it is - momentum. Not a commitment, or a flip. Not yet. The kool-aide taste pretty good right for Longhorn fans but try not to drink to much of it. 

*What has gone unnoticed? Recruiting news coming out of A&M, Baylor, TCU or any other instate school. That momentum word comes to mind again. 

*Strong knew about some of this. Most thought Texas had 7 or 8, maybe 9 spots left but last night he said "4 or 5".. Shows trust to recruits to be able to keep a tight lid on it. 

*I've always thought getting Mack on campus would lead to a commit. The way everything has gone (recruiting wise) this year who knows anymore. I think chances are good, not great but not bad either... Just good. 

*Shows history/tradition has more weight than recent success. 

*Mentioned this on another thread but getting these guys on campus is a win even if it doesn't result in a commitment. 

*Remember, don't get drunk on kool-aide.

Great book on the subject called "The Tipping Point".  .. . .not about recruiting but the impact of momentum.

If we get Mack, Murray, Soso, Boyd, hill, lodge, newsome and already have Malik then we could have the number 2 class in the country. 3 star Charlie has brass balls, no one including myself thought he could pull anything close to this off. We all were going to call this class a home run if we got Malik... And even if that's all that happens I'm still going to be happy but I'm happy to know he has the balls to give it everything he has and try.

Edited.

Doubly surprising coming off an underwhelming 6-7 season and a putrid offensive showing.

Its much more likely that we end up with none of these guys than even getting one or two - but all credit to Strong for going after the big fish.  It won't happen, but I appreciate him at least putting his line in the water.

It won't happen though.

I'll take good, because our chances with Malik and McNeal weren't even that high 12/18/2014.

Texas will most assuredly get more than 1 or 2 of Boyd, Hill, Soso, Warren, Mack, Lodge, and Murray.

You said that about Malik last month, Debbie Downer. Ye of little faith

Disagree with this and we said so throughout early December.

Don't know what's ultimately going to happen but I'm reminded of this quote.

If you're going to try and win a farting contest, then you can't be afraid to sh*t in your pants.

Ah,ha,ha,ha.   THIS is going into my archive.

I am chiseling these words into a granite stone tablet, to be handed down from generation to generation

for thousands of years...
