Banks is a big game hunter, so probably that type of player.

For those wondering, Walton hasn't flipped to Texas...yet.

Banks really is. My wife said something about they might have to let him go after that Monkey incident. I laughed and said nawww they aren’t going to let him go and would probably use that with recruits. Kids like that kinda stuff. Banks has always been a recruiting guru. He kinda like Brewster. I met Brewster a few times and you can tell right away why they can recruit. They used to send Brewster in a lot of times ahead of Mack and then he would go with Mack some. Brewster learned a lot of recruiting from Mack. Some guys just have it.

You're not wrong and I would normally agree with you, however:

* Flood evaluated and targeted this group very early. I trust his evaluation and development. He showed last year that he was willing to wait for the right guys. If he took the commit, they must be his guys this year.

* Their offer lists were strong. Sometimes I put more stock on this than star ratings

* Part of Mack Brown's demise was his reliance on recruiting service rankings. He got lazy and relied on star ratings too much

* We have our share of 4 stars and a couple more high 4 and 5 stars are probably on the way (Cook, Baxter). We're making up a ton of ground on Hill and Hicks

* A lot of these guys will get a bump now that they commited.

I like stars too don't get me wrong. I just think that a little patience and trust go a long way. Don't forget Cooper is making some calls now. That carries a good amount of weight. 

I love coach Flood, and was definitely not trying to question his evaluations or recruiting,  I was only pointing out that someone could wrongly interpret your post as implying stars are not predictive of Oline recruits success.

LOL if Flood grabbed another.

Hill or Hicks?

Flood has been the recruiter for both Hill and Malik Muhammed. So I imagine it would be one of the two, so I'm told

I know. I think Flood is a coach that has “it” too.  A lot of the kids love him: I can’t even remember the last time I was this optimistic about our offensive line for the next several years.

That would be great, but I thought Banks was their recruiter. Why would Flood recruit the defense?

I believe he meant to say Banks is the primary recruiter for those guys. 

 

[TFloss32]

I believe he meant to say Banks is the primary recruiter for those guys. 

And Banks is a secondary recruiter for Cook.

 

[TFloss32]

Hale tagging Cook again.

IT hinting Hale is one guy who is FOMOing because of Arch and Texas' momentum.

IT alluded to there being no more room at LB for Sanford.
