Gonna happen, all part of the process. Not worried at all. Just look at what's happening to Vanderbilt. We are in good shape, based on all the changes.

Was at TCU first and then recruited by Wyatt, so not surprised

Wyatt. Was a TCU commit and Wyatt flipped him. As long as we keep Foreman I'm good to go, the only dominant receiver we have in the class.

If we're headed to a run-first spread, we don't need to be taking 6 wide receivers in this class.

Just maybe during Strong's/Chambers' visit with him today Strong sensed he was not the kind of "football" player (remember, stars don't matter) that he wants or would fit into the new culture CS is bringing and managed to tactfully move him to reconsider returning to TCU. Probably not, but I wouldn't be totally surprised either.
I think the Wyatt relationship was the key to getting him to flip and now that he is gone, the kid decided to go back to his first choice and maybe more comfortable choice.

It might be if CS gets the impression a recruit committed to Texas because they liked the culture that was presented to them and he knows his culture is 180 degrees opposite, he probably is honest with them so they can decide if what he is selling is something they want to be part of. I suspect if recruits de-commit because of this, both parties are happy.

Meh. This is expected. Its unfortunate, but its to be expected when there is staff turnover like Texas had.
Just a thought - but I almost expect Baylor, A&M, and to a lesser extent Tech to gobble up offensive recruits while we stockpile all of the defensive talent this state has to offer (this years A&M class excluded).

All I know is we don't need 6 wr's in this class. I agree with the above poster that a couple of those scholarships need to go to DL and secondary players.

I'm not suggesting we didn't want to keep...otherwise why would Strong & Chambers visit him this morning? I'm just wondering if there might have been something that went on during the meeting that gave Strong some concerns? It's not like he doesn't know how to recruit...especially when you consider we lost him to TCU...not exactly a high-octane offense lately.
I do think Strong's eye for talent or the type of player he wants vs. that of Mack Brown may differ a little or a lot.
Again, I agree, I think it probably came down to Wyatt no longer being the kid's position coach.

Relationship with position coach is clearly a huge factor for Porter.
