    It's possible but I have not heard of any. Yet.

    I think some recruits are over-rated coming in to college, and just as many are under-rated. I've seen it time and time again. If you look at the bottom five of every Texas recruiting class, you will find players just as successful as a group in the middle five of that same recruiting class.

    I think a real statistician needs to get involved, not a guy like me. I’ve done simple averages based on number of five stars and four stars that are drafted versus the rest of the high school football universe. There is a correlation there. But I don think that makes the rankings “right”. I bet you could just follow the top 10 teams and get half the rankings right.

    Would they be worse than what it is now? I kid. Sort of.

    I agree with Chip Kelly. One of the reasons we are where we are with the NCAA is that the NCAA cared more about the basketball tourney than anything else.

    There are a lot of issues here to add to the discussion. December 15 - January 5 used to be a relatively calm time for college football coaches. They had to worry about the bowl game and little else. Now, they are full-on all the time. ** There needs to be a complete overhaul of this system. Stop doing half measures. That's what the NCAA and member schools have tried to do for so long. Stop that. Cut to the core of the issues. Football players at major football-playing universities, more often than not, deserve more than room-and-board and a scholarship. That leads to the following questions: 1. Which schools want to be major football-playing universities? I'm not so sure Boston College is one of those even though they always have been in the past. 2. Allow those schools to create their own system outside of the NCAA.

    I have two immediate reactions: 1. I don't disagree with his issues. Something needs to be done. But as long as the NCAA leads, this is not going to happen. 2. Does Boston College have any DTs?

    Have fun, Ray!

    I'm seeing more elite guys on the board at multiple positions than I have in previous years. I think the staff and Sark is getting its legs and traction with recruits simultaenously.

    And Shane is the DL coach at Cy Fair these days, too.

    Yes, the Big 10 would take them. They are a huge university with a large following.

    Why Texas' coattails, of course! 😉

    Rod and I took a deep dive on two subjects that I think you might find interesting: - Recruiting rankings/player development; how they intertwine some at least from a perception standpoint - The strategy and blueprint Sark is now using in recruiting

    It would perhaps be so true to form that I don't think it would actually happen.

    Large bet it's sub-4.4.

    He seems to be a VERY active recruiter as well. I don't think he's just going to be going after LBs based on his activity thus far.

    Good stuff, CJ!

    I think you hit on something significant, the front and back of the defense being in tune with one another. I can't say I saw that until the final two games of the regular season and the Big 12 championship game.
  20. Bobby Burton
    Then you'd be a no-fun, crotchety old man. 😉

    Texas LB coach Johnny Nansen returned to California today. He visited with staff at Narbonne HS in Los Angeles. Narbonne is home to linebacker Mark Iheanachor, who Nansen had already offered while at Arizona last season.
  23. Bobby Burton
    Three at least, possibly four.

    More in the SEC footprint. Again, it's not just lip service anymore. The Horns are going to recruit the South like it's home base IMO.

    I think there was some of that happening a couple of years ago. I don't think it's the case anymore. I think Charles doesn't really value the opinion of coaches very much or enough, especially coaches who recruit from a position of authority/power. Or if he does, he certainly doesn't do it much in the state of Texas as he does elsewhere.
