Texas has 22 commitments. So far 5 5-star and 13 4-star recruits. If it stays like this, they might wind up with a class for the ages.

All but 2 are from Texas.... which is even more impressive.


Too bad NC doesn't produced the kind of talent they do

Someone's definitely taking advantage of Vince Young and that national championship.

I sure as hell wouldn't turn them down if I was one of the top players in the country.

7/14/2006 9:24:47 AM

it's damn amazing they've parlayed that national championship into this big of success early on. i mean you expect to have better recruits after a national championship, but this is insane. i hear Texas is known for loading up early in the recruiting year, but that's usually with mostly 3 and a couple 4-star recruits. later in the year is when they grab the 5-star guys.

Not to rain on your parade or anything, but USC's class for this year is probably better. 8 5-stars, 12 4-stars. 24 total commits, 13 in the top 100.

That is 2006, he is talking about 2007.

7/14/2006 10:22:59 AM

so, what you are saying is that if we win the nc, we can get multiple 5 & 4 star recruits...

By "nc" I hope you mean "North Carolina" because we haven't even won the state yet in convincing fashion.

7/14/2006 10:29:49 AM

it must be nice to win a NC...why do I suspect if we were to win one, we wouldn't quite have this recruiting success?

7/14/2006 10:45:51 AM

^I don't think we'd be too far away. Pretty much anyone who wins a NC blows up in recruiting for a couple years. Teams like Texas, USC, Miami, FSU, etc. will always do just a little better because they are in states where the football talent is ridiculous. We would also do well because we have such a strong presence in Florida already.

We would easily pull in a couple top-10 recruiting classes following a national championship with possible top 5 classes.

I know the link I posted was for 2006. He's saying it could be a "class for the ages" but USC's class for this year is very clearly better.

7/14/2006 11:20:43 AM

texas always has a recruiting class in the top 4 or 5. this is nothing new.

7/14/2006 11:47:31 AM

yeah i'm not ever surprised when Texas is going to have a top recruiting class, especially after the NC. i'm saying that it's unbelieveable that they've already wrapped up that many 4 and 5 star guys this early. a USC fan on a message board was even talking about how unreal they've stacked up that amount of talent already.

not to mention putting one in front of 07 rather than after it

7/14/2006 4:13:46 PM

Fuck Texas, GO AGGIES!!!

7/14/2006 4:17:01 PM

USC always has the better classes it seems

i mean who wouldnt want to go to Cali right on the beach in beautiful town with beautiful people and play football for a team thats a powerhouse year after year and sure to be looked at by NFL scouts


then again, Texas isnt so bad but its soooo hot

7/14/2006 4:17:28 PM

I don't think you've seen the area around USC's campus

Sounds more like you're describing Pepperdine
