If we already have a thread let me know please.  Thought I'd check up a bit on what's going on in the recruiting world.  This link warmed my heart, even with TOSU benefiting lol.  Article is about Texas Recruits fleeing the Big 12.

Can't say I blame them, the BIGXII has become quite the dumpster fire as of late.

You mean no one wants to play for Iowa State or Kansas?

Sometimes

Yep - stats show that 1/3 quit, fail, drop out.  Another 1/3 don't pan out, end up as back ups.  Last 1/3 turn into to starters and significant contributors.  But it's all a way and see game.

Then there's coaching, injuries and the all important luck lol

Huge CB package, it's what we have been missing and we got em!

Now if they can just sign a QB, 5 new OL, 4 new DL, 3 LB's, a kicker, a new coach, and a new AD

Good day for the Hogs. We got a solid class.
Baylor has a horrible class and still out does Texas.

Texas is like #33 or so - love it!  Five SEC Teams in the Top 10 or 11.

FSU has a good class. Got 4 5-stars including the #2nd, 3rd, and 5th rated guys in the country - Cam Akers, Josh Kaindoh, and Marvin Wilson. 23 total commits. I think we ended up #5 on Rivals but not sure what our composite is. I'm happy with the group we're bringing in.

Never had a 4* Defensive back since 2009 and now we have 2!

Wilson is a good get for you. With Okudah and Browning already in Columbus and the three of them being good friends I thought for sure Wilson was going to be a Buckeye.

They're all from Houston aren't they?  Were they on the same team?  I knew there was a connection somehow to OSU and that the Bucks were one of his finalists.  He was a must for us - even with all the other guys, someone like Wilson can change an entire defense.  Hopefully he ends up having the same kind of impact as Jernigan in 2013.

all three from different areas of state but friendships grew through being at same camps and recruiting trips and all star games.
