SI: Re-ranking 2011 Recruiting Classes Based on Actual Production: Good News For UT

[primal defense]

This has me excited about having a coaching staff that can develop talent. A winning program will take care of recruiting.

6. Louisville

Original Rivals.com rank: 29

Record since 2011: 30-9

BCS bowl appearances: 1

Big East/AAC titles: 1

National titles: 0

2013 starters: QB Teddy Bridgewater, OT Jamon Brown, CB Terrell Floyd, CB Charles Gaines, DE Lorenzo Mauldin, OG John Miller, WR Devante Parker, S Calvin Pryor

You've probably noticed that Texas was in the original top 10 of Rivals.com's 2011 recruiting rankings, but that it did not make this list. The inclusion of the Cardinals should give Longhorns fans hope that Texas will appear here in the future. This was Charlie Strong's second recruiting class at Louisville, meaning that it was the first class in which he had an entire recruiting cycle to work. It included a program-hoisting quarterback (Bridgewater), a dynamo of a safety (Pryor) and the guy who would lead the team in receiving last season (Parker). It also featured plenty of other building blocks. Led by this group, the Cardinals won the Big East and the Sugar Bowl in the '12 season, and went 12-1 in '13.

The coming recruiting year is going to be very interesting to watch. If Strong was that good at L'ville, I can only imagine what he'll do at Texas.

I'm reminded of a line from the movie Saving Private Ryan.

Takes a confident man to admit that in public.

Always enjoy these re-visits whether it's recruiting or the NFL draft . . .. I'd say this bodes well for TEXAS. . .
