I dig the slowed down approach that Strong is employing.
I always felt that Mack Brown more or less shot himself in the foot - in the long term - with the emphasis placed on so many early commits. Time and again some of the athletes would get turned off to this, slow play us, then never end up with us.
It was a big bang at the beginning, then a slow trickle, then starving for leftovers by recruiting season's end.
