    I'm still not 100% convinced that Lincoln Riley is a truly elite head coach, either. He inherited Baker Mayfield and a loaded offense and then struck gold in the transfer market, and he's benefitted as much as anybody from us being poorly coached, but that program certainly doesn't look like anything close to a juggernaut in year 5 of his tenure. They are grinding out wins at home against fucking Tulane and West Virginia, while their fans are clamoring for the backup QB. 

    Bad take imo Lincoln is good at nearly every aspect of his job. And has demonstrated the ability to hire well and adjust on the fly. I don't think im willing to say that a slow start this season means really anything as far as an indictment on him

    That's the best possible outcome at this point. 

    This staff has been impressive to me with less than a year recruiting for Texas and with A&M getting national hype combined with all of the issues that we've had with the revolving door of coaches, underdevelopment and bad press with the school song. I know its been said far too much, but if they can just find a way to get to 9 we can get this thing flipped.

    These are two highly conflicting statements.

    Brother, I trust the staff and I think they will get it right. There is so much talent in this state and I just think the evals are a little slow rn. If we can add Neto, Williams Campbell and a late bloomer at Tackle thats a damn good OL haul and its realistic that it could happen.

    Not sure what you’ve been reading, but this thread hasn’t been errrbody in a looooong fucking time. 

    Slight exaggeration on my part but there was a lot of dread and hopelessness, then Tapp and Finkley popped and many saw that their despair was probably unfounded, yet we keep doing the same thing over and over again. I follow recruiting so I get it but its still illogical but that is what makes it so fun lol. Texas will definitely sign a good OL class. Last year was such an anomaly but we are all scarred from it haha

    Edit: Missing on studs like Stewart, Brooks Banks, and Harris is never a good thing and always a cause for concern. We aint back until those guys start coming to Austin so I get it.

    The truth is somewhere in the middle. I wish we were recruiting like Georgia and OSU, but a Penn State or Notre Dame class isn't the end of the world. It just puts a lot more pressure on our evaluations and development which is very TBD.

    Good point. Ultimately blue chips is how you win natty's but its ignorant to think its the end all be all when we have lost games to Iowa state, Maryland, Kansas, and k state in the past decade. Sark will be successful or unsuccessful based on how he coaches, our last two coaches were simply good recruiters. His biggest issue will be whether or not the fanbase will give him time.

    No crystal ball picks or Rivals forecast's.  Kudos to the kid for keeping the $9.95ers in the dark.

    Sometimes it can be helpful to just look at who has been the most consistent in recruitments like these, and in this case it is Texas. Bo Davis will close on him, then start helping the other coaches for the rest of the cycle so he's not bored hahaha. Its crazy that im so confident but I do think that Texas has done just about as good of a job as possible with him and his family.... last thing to note... Auburn not being in this race at all shows that he is more than open to leaving the state and Colorado shows that he isn't even all about the SEC. If he is evaluating based on the total package its obvious he will be wearing burnt orange today.
