Excellent article summing up the 2014/15 Recruiting Wars

CFS v Swagcopter.

One of the best breakdowns I've read.

Still hate we lost Conner Lanfear and Mack at the end.

Not sure how much of the article to share, here's the summation but a great timeline and review of the key moments in the year:
 

The turning point remained the commitments of Jefferson and McNeal, with Sumlin averting disaster by keeping the Murray domino from falling.

The Aggies still finished with a significant head-to-head advantage, with all 14 of the highest-rated signees in the class holding offers from Texas. But the 5-1 finish, beginning with the Poteet stars, resulted in Texas adding nine four-stars and 11 total recruits to help Jefferson live up to the Tim Tebow comparison bestowed upon him by his head coach.

Two teams, two wildly different head coaches, and two outstanding classes. With Texas forced to go national to fill needs created by in-state prospects committing to A&M until the middle of June, the Aggies still run the state, but Strong and the Horns narrowed the gap significantly.

So those who follow recruiting closely in the state might want to stay tuned -- it's time to write some more critical chapters of the battle between Sumlin and Strong.

great, the aggies kept murray.  congratulations on the "big win".  he won't play a down for the aggies.  he'll play baseball.  then mack is going to look for a way out since he followed the pied piper to the alter, only to be left standing alone.  if murray would have come here, we might not have gotten locksley.  that's a we win deal any way you want to cut it.

never bought the hype on mack.  the kid may have talent, but he's also flaky as hell.  now that his pied piper is going away, what's he gonna do?

i'm very happy with our class as is.  i think we dodged a bullet with murray and a potential problem with mack.  sour grapes?  perhaps.  but also, perhaps not.

the aggies have had their brief day in the sun, but strong has more than made up ground on sumlin.  he's passed him.
