    I don't think we've brought in a class like this, this early in the year, since.... before UT and A&M started recruiting black players.

    Pretty sure Northwestern wanted him too...they were going after a trio of Katy players and got two of them.

    More like before they discovered that East Texas and into Louisiana were also deep fertile recruiting grounds. Bill Yeoman owned that territory.

    I like the Katy players but their players are usually maxed out in terms of potential, sort of like Alabama defensive players going to the NFL.

    Very true. Katy has done a great job of getting the most out of their players, but they have had a lot more players go D-1 the last few years, including the likely starter in the OU backfield.

    Now hopefully these kids actually follow through and sign in Feb.

    Herman and his staff have really impressed me thus far. He's really getting these kids to buy into his vision.

    I want to see UH do well this season and the next few as well. I want them to join the Big 12. They have done a great job recruiting thus far.

    UH could win the College Football Playoffs and they still wouldn't be considered for Big XII because UT basically runs it. UT wants nothing to do with UH. It's the truth.

    EDIT: Forgot to mention that UT doesn't want UH to take their recruits from Texas High Schools.

    Okay, smart aleck.

    Even if (theoretically) UH won the College Football Playoffs*

    I wasn't making a prediction/claim.

    Suppose to be big news about UH future at 6pm today. Fingers crossed for a P5 invite.
    I may have graduated from Sam but I grew up a coog fan, love both.

    So OU and ESPN are backing the Coogs. Nice allies to have.
