    I would like your honest opinion....over the past 10 years, has Baylor had more talent on their rosters than Texas?

    Yes, based on NFL draft picks, especially 5 first rounders and 3 second rounders from Baylor compared to 2 of each for Texas starting in 2011. 
    That said, based on what I’ve seen the last two years I think our 2020 squad is our best since 2009 and has more overall talent than any team in the conference.

    You can have that perspective, and it doesn't faze me one bit. But the reality is I continue to positively impact hundreds of lives each year through my job and enjoy the mutual respect and gratitude shared with my students and colleagues. And now I'm going to go pack for my family's 10-day trip to Orlando.

    Damn. I’ll be in the red by the time you get back.

    Oh, you’ll address none of the points in the argument but instead will focus entirely on pedantry that has nothing to do with the issues laid out? Shocker. Futureman Jr. indeed.  
     

    I doubt any here will hold their breath while eagerly anticipating your analysis on how Baylor’s recruiting classes could be considered more talented than those of Texas the last decade. I’m sure challenging accepted notions with the defense of “Well that’s just, like, your opinion man” works on other people, it’s not going to be a convincing argument to most posters here. 

    Do me a favor and put me on ignore while you slink away. 

    Lol. I’ll keep this short. I addressed your first point. If correcting what you said is irrelevant, then what you said is irrelevant. Of the two of us, only one has presented facts. Who says slink away? Asking me to put you on ignore is funny in more ways than one. And it must be hard never thinking that you’re wrong.

    This dude is like futureman with a little dash of "Derka rage-posting on the basketball board and responding to every single person that disagrees with him". In other words, he totally fucking sucks. Please put him on ignore like futureman and stop responding to his posts.

    Doesn’t a troll make ad hominem statements?

    No, actually, I'm not basing my argument on that false assumption. I identified and recognized the flaws in the system when I outlined, attrition, busts, flakes, etc. I went WELL out of my way to identify the potential flaws in the recruiting system. Of course there were more 3 and 4 stars drafted in the first round. There are 32 (well call it 50) five stars a year, and there's literally a few hundred 4 stars and hundreds more 3 stars. 5 stars are a very tiny tiny percentage of players. 

    It doesn't change the fact that while outliers and exceptions exist, generally speaking everyone here except you apparently agrees that recruiting class rankings are a fairly accurate gauge year to year of the talent that exists on a school's roster. Texas is overwhelmingly had more talent than Baylor. To think otherwise is lunacy. So, yeah, it makes sense this is where you would land. Or do you really want to make a case that Baylor's average class ranking of about 40 over the last 10 years is fundamentally more talented than the ones signed by Texas in the last decade? Show your work. And before you say "look at draft results" everyone knows that's horseshit because development matters, as does coaching, and we're talking about pure talent. And before you ask to show my work, my work is illustrated by the literal multiple recruiting services that have hundreds of employees that view, rank, and evaluate HS talent and come to a consensus. 

    Stopped reading after more 3- and 4-stars picks than 5-stars. I wrote more 3 stars than 5 stars. Big difference. And just for future reference, pointing out flaws in an assumption doesn’t by definition no longer make it an assumption. It makes it a more sound assumption, but still an assumption. I can tell this is going nowhere, so I’ll leave it at that. Not going to keep arguing about the definition of a word.

    Over ten years, that's a valid statement. Briles and Rhule were better developers than late Mack/Strong/Herman. 

    It’s an opinion that is based on an assumption that a player’s recruiting ranking is infallible. We’ve had 3 three-star draft picks in the last two classes with players eligible to be drafted and will have a 3-star going in the first round next year according to every mock draft.

    He's not saying they're infallible in any individual case, he's saying over time getting high-ranked recruits matters to team success, especially at the high P5 level where the coaching is all generally very good to elite . They also matter to player success in terms of likelihood of becoming All-Americans and getting drafted. This is a good aggregation of articles: https://www.sbnation.com/college-football-recruiting/2016/2/2/10889856/national-signing-day-rankings-ncaa-football

    I’m referencing the statement that Baylor has had inferior talent based on number of stars.

    What percent of 4/5 stars has Herman sent to the league in the last 5 years?

    There’s so much wrong with what he said. First off, if going back 5 years/recruiting classes, only 2016 and 2017 recruits would’ve been even eligible to be drafted. It also ignores 3 three-star draft picks and 12 4-star recruits that have transferred/quit due to medical conditions/failed to make it on campus.

    These two posts of yours dovetail, so I'll answer both, since they are related. Per the various rankings sites, Baylor hasn't sniffed Texas's recruiting ranks during their entire successfun run under Briles, and now. We just literally stole the best commit from their last class a few weeks ago and he's probably, what, the 15th ranked player in our 2020 class (I looked it up he was our 14th highest ranked player, Baylor's 4th). Now, you can say there's room for error, and you can say there's superior evaluation, you can say there is player attrition you can say there's late risers, busts and flakes, and all of that can be true. But even if all that were true at once, when you're talking about a 10 year time period, and all the classes look like that related to one another (or worse) it's pretty safe and accurate to say that one school, from an athletic raw materials perspective, has a talent advantage over the other. Baylor's 2020 class had exactly two 4 stars. It wasn't ranked in the top 50. Their only top 25 class in the last decade was 2014, coming in at exactly 25. 

    Better programs can lead to better draft picks, but that doesn't mean the programs have the same level of raw materials. It just means they're developing talent better. 

    You’re basing your argument on the false assumption that a recruit’s number of stars is an infallible measurement of said player’s level of talent. There were more four more 3-star first round draft picks this year than 5-star ones (7-3). Obviously part of that is a numbers game since there are many more 3-star recruits, but it’s still telling. Since 2015 we’ve had an equal number of 3-star draft picks as 4/5-star ones too.

    When I started putting it together I didn't realize fucking TCU would be ahead of us.   I knew they had some recent picks - but damn...

    They’ve had a better program over that period, so I’d be surprised only if they had fewer draft picks

    Chicken/egg. And it doesn’t matter, improvement. Does Brandon Jones go higher than the third? Maybe. Do those prospects go pro at Texas? Maybe. As High? Who knows. The real problem with that list is the fact that Baylor is getting more 3 stars drafted in higher rounds than Texas with what is perceived (and in reality) inferior talent. You throw that into the mix with the sheer number of players for other schools and it’s a pretty compelling argument that Texas does less with more. Other schools are doing more with more, and other schools are doing more with less. 

    Care to elaborate? EDIT: about the inferior talent part

    I recall many former players hating Urban Myer for pushing them as well as be an arrogant bastard.  Life ain't a box of chocolates and most coaches and bosses are not warm and friendly.  That's my personal experience.

    Are Sandusky jokes kosher?

    Not sure what happened here. I’m pretty sure my source is better than what the other guy has. Doesn’t matter though, as previously mentioned, if we can have a good season it won’t matter as much it he’s hated or not.

    Agreed 100%. You can take over from here
