re: Fastest dude ever at NFL combine, Texas of course

I find it interesting that Texas goes from unable to supply anyone to the combine for virtually 5 years to the top RB back-to-back, two 1st round D-linemen, and multiple 1st-2nd round WR's in the same draft class -

when -

It became legal to pay for players.

Bijan was a 5* that committed to Texas very early in the process. Jonathan Brooks went to a small 3A HS 100 miles from Austin and was not on the radar for most teams. If you haven't noticed, Sark & Tashard Choice can pretty much get any RB they want.

Tvondre Sweat was 3*. Byron Murphy's & Xavier Worthy were 4*.

All were on campus before NIL.

Adonai Mitchell committed to Georgia over Texas and transferred to be closer to home.

The Charlie Strong (Louisville) -Tom Herman (Houston) era of having a coaching staff with nothing but G5 coaching experience died when Sark got here.

Texas sent 11 guys to the Combine this year.

Coaching matters more than recruiting.

Just proves we didn't play in the mud (or not as deep) as other programs. I remember multiple recruitments we lost simply because a dad, uncle, mom or all 3 wanted to start a bidding war..those guys usually ended up at Bama, LSU, Chokelahoma and inexplicably...sometimes aggy.
