    "First time in history?" Come on. Over 50% of our 2019 class (ranked #3 in the country at the time) came from OOS, and it was a complete disaster. Guys like Jake Smith, Watson, Washington, Adimora, Liebrock, etc. that all had ironclad offer lists and were wanted by many of the big programs. No one's 'obsessed' with in-state recruits, but the fact is that OOS guys are generally tougher and riskier evals. The TXHSFB coaching connections aren't there, there's less familiarity, and there's always the risk that influences from home pull them back (see McCoy and Smith), now magnified by the portal. A class where the blue-chip signees are mostly from OOS and the lower-ranked signees are from in-state carries a lot of risk despite looking good on paper. The fact that we signed so few of the top in-state recruits in the 2019 class was a significant factor in its failure.

    There is a difference though.  They had to go out of state in 2019 because Herman had alienated the majority of players/coaches in the state.  Then he continued to suck ass at evaluations....

    How do you trend a head coach that has been a head coach for one year?  And how do you come away with the idea that his program is due to improve?

    Simple:

    1) Said head coach has been pumped up by the media as the next sure thing head coach.

    2)  Said coach is at a blue blood program where you can't possibly struggle to win games. (See our media pumping for the last decade)

    3. Said coach and school have a good relationship with national media.

    I know MarathonAg12 isn't regarded, but I'm not sure after this post.  He's a frequent poster in TexAg's bourbon thread. He seems to make a decent living. All I can come up with :

    Maybe he's been talking to Jimbo...or Phil Steele

    Per TFB so not sure how accurate. Rubell filmed a commitment video to ohio state when he was there and gave them a silent commitment...then he visited Texas and the staff got pissed about it and told him to fuck off. The pick saturday will be texas 

    TFB also had him as locked a done deal to Michigan 18 hours ago, so let's not quite regard them as gospel on this particular recruitment.
