This class could be considered a little reach-y without the highly rated recruits we saw in 14/15... but it's heavy on OL and DBs, which should be our sweet spot with Chavis + Turner.


It's too early to call this class "reach-y". These coaches are watching tape and judging how these players would fit their system. Look at last year and the rise of Kellen Diesch.

Recruiting sites also only tell part of the picture. Last year's ranking doesn't include Keith Ford, Priest Willis, Trevor Knight, Kalvin Cline, Ratu Mafileo, and possibly TD Moton. Most of these guys are grown young men from great programs (OU, UCLA, and VT) who are ready to play right way.

It's not that early. We've already sent out 153 offers, and it's indisputable that the earlier offers to higher ranked recruits aren't working out at the moment.

6 of the top 10 in Texas have already committed. We have zero and are not projected to land any of the remaining 4 at the moment.

10 of the top 20 in Texas have already committed. We have zero and are not projected to land any of the remaining 4 at the moment.

28 of the top 50 in Texas have committed. We have 3. Colorado, one of the worst BCS programs in the nation, has 2.

Like I said, I'll roll with whoever Turner and Chavis want, and it's not too late to turn it around across the rest of the class, but there is little-to-no margin for error.
