I am told this involves a recruit we missed on. May have ruined his life.

Picked Baylor

Why does it seem that recruits blow off Texas when the depth chart is deep and theres not immediate playing time, but the typical power names like Oh St, Bama, and UGA dont seem to have that same issue?

The "depth chart is a problem" for so-so recruit seems to be a trendy reason why the kids this cycle arent picking the Horns. Is it just me?

Georgia and OSU routinely have players leave early, creating space in the depth chart.

Texas is in a situation where we didn't lose a lot and won't lose a lot come next year, either.

Our LB room is stacked. Our DL room is stacked. WR is stacked. QB is stacked. RB is in good shape, too. We're talented and deep.

I'm not going to be upset about this one. IMO, he's an OT or DT posing as a TE. My questions always was – why not just teach a DL to play the role, when the role is needed?

Oh my goodness

was there a problem with Fasusi ?

Carlton to Baylor

Other than he picked ou?

The recruit in question is from the current class. This is a recruit that recently chose another school and not Texas.

I'm not sure. If I'm not mistaken OU been recruiting him for the longest time way before he got into high school

I never worry about recruiting during the summer, but even to your point, the current trend feels off. We'll see how things look in November.

Why is Texas so constrained after the House settlement and other teams seem to be throwing around bags of money?

Texas is electing to spend more to keep current roster together. They want less attrition then spending it on unproven high schoolers.

We will see what Deloitte approves and doesn't approve in the coming months but there will be major loopholes around it still. If the money is close Texas will get players over Baylor and Tech.
