Given that Texas may not get any DT HS recruits how many will they try to get next year (2026) class and who is 1 in state and 2 out of state guys Texas should already be pursuing?

More relevant in what??? Did they start an underwater basket weaving team or something. UT and blOwU kept the big 12 afloat for years. Outside of basketball they are sunk. Probably 5 years or less and it will go the way of the pac12.

Much respect....I would not want to be in your place with the sort of pressure put on you. Takes a different type of personality to deal with the nonsense. Keep on keeping on. Thanks for the bits of info you can and do provide.

Give that dude a red nose and oversized shoes...clown show

Clemson, Miami, USC Honorable Mention UNC Tarheels Those choices strictly for Texas recruiting.

Maybe put a rehab and spa on the Lake......

How much does this truly impact recruiting? What facilties do these other programs have that UT doesn't? Glad to see at least some progress to move ahead.

What facility/s can or need to be improved /updated to be more enticing to recruits? I keep hearing places like Oregon have these great facilities.... where is Texas lacking that may make a difference?

having a top 10 class is great, it's better when you get the guys you need. See DT recruiting for example.

T Smith, Filsaime, Mack, A Hill late flips all 4 and 5 star recruits. That's 4 in 3 years. And yes the carousel happens every year, however it does not mean that recruits that want anything to do with Texas will fall out of that tree.

While I agree with some of what is being said the reality is Texas over the last three years has relied on late flips/ coaching carousel/ bad seasons to complete recruiting classes. That either means one of two things. They either prefer waiting or they are recruiting from behind in a lot of cases. It's a dangerous game to play either way. Those dominoes will not always fall your way statistically speaking.

Working now to get paid later. Get it in young man. Respect.

Georgia and maybe LSU

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?

What I said and I stand by is "over the last couple of weeks recruiting has been a dumpster fire." Texas has missed on every interior DL recruit, there's still 1 on the board from ovs so maybe 1 will commit. DB is another spot that has lost quite a bit 8 OVs 1 commit 4 off the board Anding likely to LSU, so 3 left on the board. LB may be a bright spot if they get Faraimo and Cunningham with Barnes already commited . 1 commit, Pettijohn likely to A&M. They missed out on DK Moore, the good news is there is still a ton of talent in the WR OVs that haven't committed so there's a good chance Texas walks away with the guys they want outside of Moore. As I've laid out no matter how it's spun, the last couple of weeks are not in any way good to be polite. As you know a huge part of recruiting is momentum and at the moment Texas has none.

I by no means will let my Fandom of the Longhorns wane. I'm simply saying that this line of thru the whistle or in Sark we trust is homerism and far from reality. Both of these mean behind the 8 ball in recruiting...that is alarming. Winning on the field helps with this however NIL and development thus NFL opportunity is what drives recruits to sign. There are few that sign because of any allegiance to the school.

Starting with the defensive side of the ball and now loosing out on DK Moore....Texas recruiting is a dumpster fire over the past couple of weeks...The whole recruiting thru the whistle means you are recruiting from behind and I believe the chickens are coming home to roost for this slow slow slow pace Texas has chosen to take. They need to get it fixed or they are in serious trouble.

Time will tell here. I think Baker will either make or break in the next 2 years. I'm willing to give him a fair shot to prove himself. It however does not negate the misses on the Dline this year. Further the misses in the DB room are still glaring and there just isn't any excuse there. The same guys that were initially were hired are still there. What say you?

While Sark has done well at signing day the string of misses is concerning. It's as if Texas is playing from behind on the interior D Line and CB rooms continually. If the Horns continue playing with fire sooner or later they will get burned. You can't come back and win in every 4th quarter comeback. Some of those statiscly you will loose. It's just a matter of when.

I understand that we can overpower most clubs with our offense.....the question is do you accept that most clubs as acceptable or is UTs aspirations higher as in championships??

How much does this stunt the growth of the program overall and is it poor planning or just plain old bad luck? I know we probably will never be privy to all that happened here, but this is a really bad look for a team looking at the CFP, first year in the SEC, and one of the upper tier teams in all of the country.

Agreed, however 3 of 5 DL have committed elsewhere. Brew and likely Anding off the board at CB. Pettijohn less than 50% to Texas, and the list continues. These are the guys UT brought in for visits. I guess more pointedly if you are going to land 25% or less "big Boy recruiting" and you want 4 or 5 guys why would you only bring in 5? Those numbers don't add up. Just sayin.

How much trouble is Texas in? Defensive recruiting has had quite a few whiffs recently. D Line CB and trending that way for LBs..... Why is there so little momentum on this side of the ball? Is it an NIL issue coaching or something else? I know the standard recruit thru the whistle but these losses are starting to add up quickly which means the Horns are playing from behind. Hope they get it figured out

Lol

Off the top of my head I think that's it unless someone else pops up during the season.
