Got ?about recruiting, have noticed ed that alot recruits are listed high 3* or low 4* from 86 -89. LB,edge,OT, S. Is there reason?

Not sure what you're asking, bud.

The coaches evaluated and targeted a lot of these players early before they even had their current rankings, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I think the coaches are pursuing the types of players they want in particular and are not worried about rankings. 

Connor Stroh is a good example. 3 star OL but we know Flood wants to pursue "big humans" of which Stroh is one of the biggest.

If/when Manning commits to Texas, I'm anticipating a bit of reset in recruiting to the point where the staff will be fielding calls from big names they aren't even targeting currently.

I'm still of the same opinion I was months ago that Manning to Texas isn't on the radar for the majority of the football world.

It would be a "WTF" shocker for many and then the madness starts for the good guys.

Agree. No matter how much footprint Sark has in this recruitment, the ESPNs of the world are so accustomed to Bama and Gawgia dominating everything that they refuse to think Texas could win this. And their readers are drinking that same kool aid.

The surprise to me right now is how confident everyone appears to be. The guy I know, other sites, this site, it's an unusual confidence. Its almost like Arch has given a silent or something.

CB Bravion Rogers of La Grange confirmed to 247 that he will be back in Austin this weekend.

He wasn't able to get to the coaches' offices while competing in Texas Relays.

Different hometowns and their last names have different spellings.

If they're related, I haven't seen it.

I haven't seen confirmation one way or the other, but apparently Wiltfong from 247 is saying WR Braylon James of Del Valle is making a commitment this weekend.

Notre Dame has been the perceived favorite, but that's interesting timing considering he was on campus last weekend and probably hung out with Manning.
