re: Aggies, are you guys concerned at all about Strong at UT?

Mack was a proven recruiter, too. More specifically, he was a proven recruiter to the specific, media-saturated situation that is found in Austin, and in Texas high schools. Strong's never done that. If Mack couldn't stop Sumlin, I see no reason to think Strong can.

So are all the aggies ni agreeance that politics will ruin Strong's chances of recruiting well?

Nobody seems to think if a guy like James Franklin can manage to pitch kids on the dream at Vanderbilt, that Strong can't do it at TEXAS?

They have world-class facilities, insanely wealthy boosters, a must-win attitude, and the history. All of that in itself is enough to get top 5 classes regularly.

I'm not saying aTm won't be fine, because you do have the SEC pitch in your favor, but no HS kid gives a damn about politics. Strong managed to get great recruiting classes at Louisville of all places. I think he's capable of pitching Texas to kids from Texas.
