now they just have to get them all to stick with their commits, which never happens these days...unfortunatley, but they will still end up with a good class regardless.

You're right. It's probably more difficult keeping them as it was getting them.

Hook 'Em Horns!

Well, we could always sign 37 like Ole Miss. That way, it doesn't matter if 10 decommit. Nutt has it covered in Mississippi.

Mack had success in keeping all his recruits last year and he had 19 by the end of May. And if these guys verballed this early, saying it was a childhood dream to be a Longhorn, they're not decommiting.

That's just rediculous.

I love players that come in saying they want to play for this or that school because it was a childhood dream. You don't see that too much anymore.

Because Texas is far and away the top program in one of the top football states in America the kids they are signing are top flight players who have always dreamed of playing at UT. It is completely different from Florida or Florida state getting a kid early and having to fight off the other schools in the state plus UGA, LSA and Bama. UT is the easiest job in America when it comes to recruiting.

geez...what's up with not procrastinating

Mack must have went through an entire wardrobe, ripping up shirts to get this kind of result.

Please stop, it's lunch time.

Now, they have to keep the kids excited for another 11 months to sign with Texas. Someone will defect to another school.

Oh yeah! Long gone are the days when OU, Okie State, Arkansas, Colorado, Nebraska, KU, KSU, MU and a multitude of others raided the state. Long gone too are all those guys who grew up Aggies, Raiders, Frogs, Bears, Owls and Mustangs (well, you can really count this one out.)

Done with their 2010 class? Depends on how this season goes. Commit doesn't mean commit anymore.

It wasn't always this way but Mack Brown can be credited for making it so. TX, OU and TX A&M used to compete for the top recurits but A&M has dropped out of the mix. Mack has done a good job of selling his brand and keeping many of the top recruits at home. If you look on the OU and LSU rosters, plus most of the Big 12 schools, you'll find a lot of Texas talent so it's not entirely different than what's going on in Florida it's just harder to pinpoint.

UT is fairly easy to recruit in Texas same as OSU in Ohio. The State of Florida is a little different with 3 big programs there.

Are you sure? Isn't Adrian Peterson from Texas?
