Shhh. This board is so much better with guys like B12 Fan around to show folks the Texas perspective loud and clear. I don't want him to go anywhere.
As for Mack's eval ability, sure he had some misses and especially toward the end. He also had over a decade of 10 win seasons, multiple BCS and NC appearances, and absent a few losses that had nothing to do with talent would have done even more.
I'll gladly take my chances with the higher ranked recruiting classes over the "coach em up" classes. The odds of success are far greater with the former.

And yes I am brushing that off, I am not going to say 'oh this kid is great because he's got offers from blah blah and blah, that's just silly
quote:right. Kids with offers from ACU should be held with much more regard than a kid with an offer from Miami, OU, FSU, and A&M
And I know you do that i remember you talking about a Texas recruit with a ACU offer and downplaying his talent

Exactly my point

Yes at certain points during his tenure no one evaluated like Mack's staff. These last few years were terrible no doubt about it.

Exactly my point

we're good bro, I apologize for taking it the wrong way.
Never said that. my point is that you can't evaluate talent off others offers. I remember almost everyone talking about Joseph Paul from Augustine last season and how he was commited to UF with offers from ATM, Texas, OU, FSU. Turns out UF got him to campus, pulled the offer and so did basically everyone else. He went from a 4 star to I believe a 2 star. All of them were wrong.

My point here stands. Mack's staff made terrible evaluations. Connor could be one or he could be great. We'll see how it pans out

By that evaluation method A&M would've been stuck with this guy Paul a two star OG. His offers included UT A&M, OU, FSU, UF, OSU. They all offered, they were all wrong IMHO.
