Five-Star Buzz U

3 things a monkey and the OP share in common:

Not too bright
Fingers may smell like poop
Biological testing/experimenting useful but illegal

We are never going to out-recruit Bama and UGA as long as their current HCs are there. You just have to accept that.

13 of our 16 commits are 4 stars on at least one site and 11 of them are composite 4 stars. That’s well above average for our history.

Hopefully our administration doesn't have that outlook, because if they do, we won't get it done. It should be wholly unacceptable, especially once we're past the NCAA nonsense, for us to never reach the point where we equal them in recruiting. Considering that a lawnchair from Wal-Mart could pull a top-ten class at the University of Tennessee, as is readily evinced by the fact that every single coach we have had in the last thirty years, including all the dolts in our fifteen-year drought, has done it at least once, and most of them multiple times, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to deduce that a staff that really got after it on the recruiting side could get it done. Kiffin, had he stayed, would have gotten it done; I realize he ignored character issues, but he worked harder at recruiting and got more immediate results than anyone else we have had, and he wasn't afraid of the big boys as other staffs have seemed to be.

Texas got four five-stars for 2023, coming off a 5-7 record the previous year and with a highly unproven coach; Oklahoma got three five-stars, with a brand-new, first-year coach who had never been a head coach before. We spend more on recruiting than either of those teams; there just isn't an excuse at this point, considering the season we had last year, for us to have no five-stars for 2024.

I don’t get why people are in awe of simply 5 stars. OU is bringing in their three 5 stars with 8 in the top 156. Two of their 5 stars are from Denton, which is two hours fifteen minutes from campus.

UT has the #3 overall player (from Cali) and 9! players in the top 154. Which is better recruiting? I wonder why Texas doesn’t have to spend much on recruiting.

The states of TN and NC didn’t have 5 star players in 2023 (although Hobbs was close on 247).
