Texas now #5,OU nipping at heels at 6 with 3 recruits rated 96 or better CB.  I hope we get Hale,Baxter,Hill,Tovanio. Considering we have 20. Notre Dame is only other top team with 20. Bama just passed us with only 16 recruits.

OU has 1 5-star and he's a QB. I like our QB better.

We have one recruit that we've chased and that OU has put in their class – Pettaway. So OU really didn't hurt our efforts this year and we by far won more head to heads than they did.

I like our class way more than theirs.

Bama got three 5-stars in one week (this week).

Six reasons whyclass is ranked lower.

1 TE might have helped in Manning recruitment! If so worth a ship if never plays a down.

2 TE height and weight havent been seen on teamsin a long time. Coach him up and you have a great weapon in red zone.

3 Three OL. great sizeand potential. Up to Flood now. Espicaly like Stroh, great hilites manhandles his man and picks up others.

4 Edge small , lite weight. But others think hewill be great.

Take these 6 away and team ratings will jump up

Probably gonna go see Hampton @ Gladewater  on 0 week. Will peek in on Hale sometime.your right on above but TE,OL hurt numerical rankings.

Texas simply has to close what is a sizable gap with the big boys when it comes to getting top 50, top 100, top 200, and top 300 players. This is the critical group of players every team needs in order to start competing for playoffs and national championships.

Bama, Ohio State, and Georgia are head and shoulders ahead of everyone else at this time from a standpoint of stacking this type of recruiting classes year after year.

Might add Notre Dame to the list.

Top rated players and classes are great, but in recent yearsTexas has lost to teams who were way down on list from Horns. Still hoping this is the staff to change things. But have little faith in a 2-4-5 defense.

Notre Dame recruiting is interesting to look at.

So far this year, Notre Dame and Texas are pretty much even when it comes to top 50 and top 100 players. But Notre Dame has done better when it comes to top 100, top 200, and top 300. And only 4 of their current class is outside of the top 300 while Texas has 8 outside the top 300. Both teams have 20 commits so far. 

If you go back and look at this over the past 5 years, Notre Dame and Texas are pretty much neck and neck in recruiting telling me that they had better coaching during that time resulting in 2 playoff appearances.

Notre Dame also has a cupcake schedule. They play big names but not good teams.

We couldn't  beat cupcake schedule  last year.

Our schedule wasn’t quite as cupcake as theirs. ND was 11-2. They only played two ranked teams. Cincinnati and Oklahoma State. They lost both. 
 

That is their normal schedule now except for the years they play Clemson.  Usually play one ranked team in regular season.

Bobby Burton had an interview with Ian Boyd about the 2-4-5 defense that left me feeling much better about it.  It’s basically what the Steelers run (according to Boyd).  We ran it last year without a semblance of the personnel to pull it off.  Whether or not that was wise can certainly be debated.

Does the Steelers have a good defense? The Iron Curtain in the old days was a 4-3-4 near as I remember.

If you’re going to run a defense, run it from year one. You’ll find out who can play in it. The recruit players to play your system. Otherwise, you’ll waste that first year of teaching. And it’ll be like your installing a new defense in year 2.
