Yes he is a 3* corner who may work out but better chance he doesn't. Hopefully his camp performance makes him under the radar and a steal.
But at the end of the day he is only coming because we missed on about 6 other guys we went after first... That is why it's a bad look.
Nothing against the player but he wasn't a priority until we whiffed.

Jimbo just cucked Sark.
One other thing we have consistently had the highest recruiting ranking in the Big 12. And we’ve been mediocre. The Iowa State coach takes 3 stars and coaches the hell out of them. Matt Ruhle did it at Baylor. I just want us to win. I’ll let the coaches figure out what players they want. Leave the hand wringing to you.

No hand wringing here. Just having a conversation on a discussion board. Kind of thought that's what we're supposed to do ?

One could say the same for a 4-star or even a 5-star.
I couldn't remember Colt McCoy's year (class), so I went looking. I bumped into Case McCoy's class in 2010. We had no five-stars that year. But our top four, highest ranked four-stars in that class never did a thing at Texas.
As I looked through more classes, there were more examples of that.
I could rip off a list of 3-stars who made it big at Texas. There are many. But that doesn't necessarily mean this Champ Lewis kid is cut from that cloth. It just means it happens more often than you think.
Personally, I like it better than most commits we get because this was based on our own evaluations. If PK liked him, I'm not the guy who will argue.

Especially since we've seen what happens when coaches lean on 3rd party evaluations. Such as the last few cycles of the Mack era when they were still pulling 4/5 star recruits, but had phoned it in and no longer doing in-person evaluations. Great recruiting cycles with a bunch of square pegs for round holes.
Changing systems generally requires a bunch of different types of players than currently on the roster. Quantity is important at this phase to make sure they get the players they need. There's little way to know how many of the existing players will excel in the new system.
In other words... we need all the bodies we can get that the staff has determined can run their offense and defense. Maybe that's a 3 star army right now, but it's better than no army.

When I looked up the 2010 class with Case McCoy on the 247 Composite, it shows that we had 5 five-stars.
Jackson Jeffcoat, Jordan Hicks, Mike Davis, Reggie Wilson, and Darius White

It sucks that these kids are looming away at the moment, but this staff will have the opportunity to state their case in 5 weeks. Kids will take notice IF Texas wins on the field. Sure, the NIL will play a part, but winning will raise eyebrows and I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of flips. Maybe not a lot of flips, but there will be some. If this coaching staff is worth anything, Texas can win with a mixture of 5, 4 and 3* players. Just finally show a good product on the field (we've said that for the last 8 years). Hook'em.

Man, Jordan Hicks was robbed of a great college career due to injuries. Jackson never lived up to potential (probably coaching related). Same can be said for Mike Davis. He had a ton of potential, but man did he drop a lot of balls.

Florida is one to watch because Stewart is close with their QB commitment, Evers, who plays for Flower Mound High.
