How far have Longhorns sunk?

A long long way.

Only consolation, if IL has 4 in top 50, don't really care about drafts as the measure

Ay :( And I was more than a little pissed that my Lions drafted ANOTHER WR in Broyles....

That was a bad draft for instant success...but they got a very good WR for little money. Think down the road a couple of years....

I really don't think that the Longhorns have sunk all that far. Yes they have had a couple of bad seasons, but this season will say quite a bit about the future of MB.

You have to admit though the offensive recruiting from 06-09 has been a headscratcher. Just flat out terrible.

Especially when nos 1 and 2 were told, thanks but no thanks, we're not interested.

Absolute head scratchers. But, if the choice was to get the no 8 pick in the draft or a decent college player, give me the latter.

Was hoping he'd be available for the 'Boys ... replacing Robinson as #2 receiver is a huge need.

He was what that the offense revolved around. Looked what happened to OU after he went down. He'll be a good compliment to Johnson.

Broyles was the OU offense. He is very very good. if he comes back from the injury you got a steal. He's a better Welker.

3 QB's in first 8 players from Texas. Only 1 was recruited and that was marginally with little effort and as a Ath not a QB.

Yes it is amazing that 3 QBs from Texas got drafted in the first round, but I think it's more about the system they played in than the state they came from, but regardless it's still amazing that they all came fron Texas!!!!

Starts with the QB but looking back now Colt and Jordan hid a lot of offensive problems.

Good point, I'm still looking for them to rebound this year.

Fulmer's available...

Not only 1st round but all top 8. But again, if being no 8 and never beating a top 50 defense is the measure, I'm glad my team passed.

I'll gladly take my 4th round qb that found ways to win.

I think the point is ... it's amazing that UTx didn't recruit them.
Same scenario at RB in many instances.
And I wouldn't call what they did at OL as "recruiting"
Thankfully those coaches have been replaced.
