Every summer is the same weeping and gnashing of teeth. I try not to pay attention to the recruiting experts, but it can be difficult not to be suckered in, sigh.
Anyway, putting things into perspective, heavens forbid, I went back and looked a little at last years class through June, July, and August.
Through June 30, Texas had 10 commits total, TX/OOS ratio = 7/3, avg. 3.4*
In July Texas signed 4 additional. TX/OOS ratio = 3/1, avg. 3.75* Cumulative Team total = 10/4, 3.5*
In August additional 4 signed, TX/OOS ratio = 2/2, avg. 4.5* Cumulative Team total = 12/6, 3.72*
So any blind fool can see we're currently ahead of last years schedule. And keep in mind Texas has signed 3 specialty recruits in Long Snapper, Kicker, and Punter.
Yes, I know, pearls before swine.
I should add, unless someone commits today, this year through June 30, TX/OOS ratio = 8/7, avg. 3.8*
