    Fantastic news.

    Also, we should create and staff an additional recruiting department just to help UTSA and UTEP identify second tier prospects that we think may develop into Texas level players but whom we don't have room for on the 85. Let's fully weaponize this program. Ha.

    I thought that's what the new Big 12 Conference is for.

    Well, Simmons is an Edge, and I think that’s a position that more easily pops on film, but I do agree with your overall point that McKinley doesn’t play like a 5-star.

    People talk about this with OL, but I think that DT is also a position that recruiting services are just really bad at evaluating. Too much focus on ready-made frames and measurables, not enough on actual gameplay and potential for growth.

    Sark always talks about he grades the game film by looking at effort first. I'm guessing that is also the primary factor for recruits, especially linemen that meet the baseline for Texas Good. Over the years, we've seen a lot of linemen who are high school great at the point of attack but rarely consider doing much pursuit or downfield blocking. They tend to have high rankings but it's not surprising when they don't do much in college.
