well hopefully they bought him a Burnt Orange Trans Am to drive to Dallas. 5 of 6 UT commits already in Rivals National Top 100.

Not surprising at all. I don't see us getting any 5 star recruits with the staff we have now.

I know he's Dickerson's nephew, but I would be shocked if we were even in his top 6.

so it's this staff's fault we aren't getting 5 star guys?

funny, I thought most 4-5 star guys with lots of options had a tendency to pick schools that draw 80k to home games and play in higher profile conferences; maybe even have a shot at playing for the National Championship

We don't draw 30K to home games and haven't been in any kind of National Championship contention in decades. There are more issues that go beyond the coaching staff for why we won't get those kind of recruits. I don't think anyone on the staff is that great of a recruiter besides Philips, who frankly hasn't impressed me that much(but it is too soon to have a verdict on him, so any judgement isn't fair at this point).

I just wish our staff made more noise on the recruiting scene. I won't beat a dead horse and complain about JJ's lack of activity, but I do think we need to step it up(especially JJ).

This kid is going to be a STUD at Texas and will probably be a 5 star. Stolen right from Aggy territory :lol:
