Mack has truly been a recruiting master, but these are the guys who I feel really made a difference in the program. Also, Mack has also been phenomenal at bringing coaches to UT. I mean look at our last two DC's. Muschamp fled to UF like a little girl, but he was a hell of an assistant. Manny Diaz put on a hell of a show in his first season at the position. Greg Davis did a nice job when he had the talent to run his system. Getting Bryan Harsin from Boise will also prove to be a solid decision. The fact is, Mack is a master at bringing in coaches and players to put the Horns in the best position possible to win football games.

There are so many good ones but I think of the position players. Leaving out the wideouts but Shipley and Roy Williams (maybe Sweed because of the Ohio State catch) are the cream of the crop receivers.
