Very interesting numbers.Only other factor is coaching. Well maybe luck.

Jordan Matthews has committed to  Tennessee

Well, that's a kick in the nuts. 

Recruiting is a nasty game. I hope we're willing to getting our hands dirty.

I hope but unfortunately they want want the program to operate like Stanford Monday through Friday and be Alabama on Saturday. We need to drop that.

I'm not even asking to be Bama. At this point, I just want to be competitive for conference titles.

I didn’t say we need to be Bama. We can’t even compete with Baylor and Iowa State.

If anyone is wondering, IT said Matthews' decision wasn't related to anything with Toviano.

Not sure how they could know when they didn’t know Matthews was going to the Vols.

This was after the Matthews commitment when info started making the rounds, and my guess it had a lot to do with how Tennessee has recruited for a long time.

Yes it is.  But I don’t think recruiting has been the problem since the mid / late 1980s.

It’s tough to beat Cal for Texas kids.

We have a couple SOC commits in 2023, do we not?

Yes

Hamilton at IT saying the Texas staff was surprised, and the reporters who cover Tennessee were surprised.

Saw a quote by Matthews on 247 that Tennessee offered him as a CB. Did we only offer as a Safety?

 

[Eastexhorn]

Not the old dreaded offer for saftey again. Loose more players that way.

That's what he says.  IF they strung the Longhorns along like that and even lied to them the night before then I'm not losing any sleep over him.  I'm not at all disappointed in Jordan for flipping (he has every right to make his best decision), I'm very disappointed in his parents for doing it that way.  Just be an adult and tell Texas (and other schools) what you're going to do and be done with it. 

Golden opportunity missed to teach your child the proper way to deal with decisions. Maybe I'm wrong, but I certainly wouldn't let either of my kids do that.  Guess what, both of my kids had to adult up recently and tell a couple of companies that they decided to go in another direction. I was proud.  Okay, i'll get off my soap box.
