Agree. They fought hard to hold who they wanted to hold and kept the majority. Plus added a few.It is unrealistic to have expected much more than this, under the circumstances.

So the outcome would be this bad or worse if Patterson had hired Saban or Fisher rather than getting his panties in a wad over their agent? This is the recruiting result you get when you hire a third tier head coach with an undefined offensive philosophy who excites no tier one recruits.

Well that's just ridiculous.

seriously, man, why are you here? you would be a superstar on OB.

Careful Jim, he'll tell you that you're entitled and that you don't care about the program, then finally he'll tell you that you're a third tier poster and Hornsports settled for you..I know first hand

Maybe the girl friend at LSU was really the reason the brothers changed and not exactly "cool" to use that reason so chose "Academics". Those GF can really work on their guy!

One of the better posts I've seen in awhile.

Hmmmm. I didn't think we were even still in the race with Richard Yeargin 111.

He just tweeted this, "NSD is hours away' who it's gone be? #HookEmHorns or #Allin/WeTooDeep, Stayed tuned tommorow morning @ 9 a.m. too see what decision I make."

I don't agree that recruiting isn't a big deal. It is. But after an extremely messy divorce and a complete overhaul of the coaching staff who has exactly no time at all to salvage something and this is what we get, this is our "sky is falling" class, well.... I'll take it. Not bad at all.

Completely agree. This class has some potential stars and if Heard hits, as I expect he will, then it is pretty solid.

I don't know anything about getting panties in a wad, but I will defer to your experience.

Well that would be nice.

He's probably going to pick Clemson, but it's a shocker that Texas is in the top two.

I don't remember that he took a visit to Austin.

Smells like he is just using our name for a little run.

So, apparently, John Bonney is still considering his options.

I thought this one was put to bed.

While John Bonney remains a Texas commitment at the moment, national signing day is Wednesday and Jerry Bonney said his son is still considering his options, with Auburn and Baylor being the other contenders. John Bonney is ranked as 20th-best safety in the country and was offered by 36 schools in the recruiting process.

There is quite a bit more in this article too. This next quote is by the dad --

"I was standing right there when he made the statement," Jerry Bonney said. "His first general statement to the kids and all of us [family members] was 'I'm not telling you not to come to Texas. I think this is a fine place and you should stay [if you're committed to Texas]. However, if you are coming here for me to coach you and that was the main reason you were coming, those of you in that category, I certainly encourage you to look elsewhere because I won't be your coach. I'm stepping down immediately after the Oregon game.'

So you will believe in the Saban-Fisher fairy tale. .. but not believe in Strong fairy tale....
