Very, very impressive close by Texas--taking big recruits from four big programs near the wire. Serious talent in this class.

Love the guys they got on the defensive side, especially.

Great day for Stanford also - people saying it may be the best OL class in past 20 years

One can make an argument that what Stanford has built over the last five or so years is the most impressive achievement in college football. They left Notre Dame in the dust a long time ago. Speaking of which, kudos to U of H for snatching that wide receiver at the wire.

Don't have to convince me - I was there during the darkest days.

Between Stanford and SF, Harbaugh appears to have actual magical powers.

The coogs did really good this year getting top ten WR.

Congrats to the Longhorns for a stellar recruiting class.

They should give Alabama some sort of trophy for "winning" in recruiting this year

Their recruiting class was their "trophy" for winning the BCS championship.

I guess I should have posted that I think ranking the recruiting classes is humorous.

You're absolutely right. It's all about whether the recruiting class fills the team's needs; recruiting, for example, quarterbacks, is one that a team is practically limited to one or two per class, or the team will have spent too much of the limited player resources on one position. You can only play a QB or two at the most.

Flipping Torshiro Davis on Signing Day was a pleasant surprise. I can't ever remember that happening in the Mack Brown era.

Mack has always had his classes signed, sealed and delivered before. This is the first year I can remember you guys having any room to flip anyone.

Lots of philosophies changing in Austin. We'd never taken JUCOs before, either.

We were flipping through movies available on UVerse and there was Seven Samurai. It's my favorite movie, and he was good in that, too.

I think filling up a class with commitments from juniors is a great tactic in moderation, but there are a lot of things that can happen to a kid in an 12-18 month period.

I agree. Lots of fresh approaches from the new staff that I'm liking.

It is more of an SEC approach to recruiting. You don't give up on a kid even though he is verbally comitted to another school. You don't promise a kid you won't recruit behind him. There are good players at the JUCO level (K-State has made a living at this and OBTW owns UT recently). I think Bo Davis is responsible for alot of what has changed.

ybbodeus · « **Reply #25 on:** February 09, 2012, 11:38:18 am »

Doesn't K-State accept D's on transcripts for incoming juco's? Seems when Snyder had it going best in the late 90's and early 00's, the word about their anemic admissions helped one understand how they had kids no one else in the league could take, not even Okie A&M. I would hope the conference would call bull on that, but I haven't looked into it in a long time. The interest in the subject listed when K-State sorta vanished for a spell (before bringing their "identity" back).

EDIT: might help explain hoops, too
