Would you think that a lot of the disappointment with recruiting to this point be expectation bias because of the success relative to previos seasons? Trip to the CFP?

Bobby said Riley Pettijohn's visit didn't go well. What happened?

Seems this has been a reoccurring theme for several prospects in the last few cycles, very odd and not something you’d expect.

We didn't hear anything negative at the time that I can remember. Seems Pettijohn got bent out of shape about the Longhorns going for Faraimo, which doesn't make too much sense. Faraimo is a middle backer and Pettijohn is outside. If it's true that there was some primadonna stuff going on, then so be it. Seems to me there's quite a bit of hyperbole about getting this or that high rated recruit. Yes, you want the best; but you don't necessarily need guys who want special treatment.

Not sure why Pettitjohn would be upset about faraimo. They play different spots at LB.
