Baylor : A&M :: Ross Perot : Bill Clinton
Baylor will take a few players a year that we want, but overall, them hurting Texas and OU helps us a lot more. They take away wins from our real competition.

There will be some impact with the offensive skill positions. We're already seeing it at WR. I could see QB being impacted as well. Those are the only positions though. I don't see them recruiting top flight D talent well with their current defensive staff.
The problem they will have recruiting against us for the skill position guys in general is we now run a similar style offensively and have put up similar numbers but we do it with a higher national profile, better recruiting staff, and nicer facilities. I see them hurting schools like OU more (and possibly Texas depending on what they do) since they can trumpet their system and offensive numbers to WRs or QBs who are choosing between Baylor or OU.

I haven't kept up with Oklahoma lately, but are they having that much trouble recruiting in Texas? I feel like Alabama may have signed more high profile kids from Texas lately, than OU has.

They're still recruiting Texas, but they're competing with Baylor, Tech, and Okie Lite for prospects instead of Texas and A&M. Definitely settling for 2nd tier now. Sumlin and A&M in the SEC is killing them.

Oklahoma has 6 Texas commits but none with Aggie offers. Last year they had 3 big head to head battles with A&M for DL recruits and lost them all, including Justin Manning who had a brother that played for OU. A&M also took their top defensive recruit, Jordan Mastrogiovani, late in the process simply by offering him. Now they just aren't really a factor.
It has gotten so strong now that A&M is poised to get Steven Parker who is the #1 defensive player in Oklahoma and has a Dad who played for OSU and a Grandad who played for OU.

our move to the SEC has hurt OU the most. We are getting most of the guys they would get in the past
Big Game Bob is on the way out in Norman.

Disagree. It has hurt tu the most. We are winning 80% of our head to heads against the sips. Oklahoma has had a national focus since VY.

They've slipped a bit, but that really has to do with taking a national approach. It's a perfect storm so a lot of Aggies keep saying we are hurting the Sooners the most. That's simply not true. We are killng tu head to head and going after those kids, not battling Oklahoma for very many recruits at all.
