IMHO, a lot of 4 star and 5 star recruits are listed that high for one reason.... they matured earlier and were basically men among boys in high school. Once they go against teammates and other players in college that are bigger, faster, stronger, they kinda flame out as they realize they aren't as good as they've been told the last four years..... or their entire life. Must be why Alabama has been winning NC after NC signing nobody's. Alabama is the exception. Look at UT, aTm, Penn State, Nebraska, etc.....They all recruit plenty of 4 and 5 star athletes that don't pan out. Again, IMHO, a lot of overlooked 2 and 3 stars that mature later and give it 100% are the ones that can make or break a team. 1st, I couldn't care less about irrelevant programs like aggy, Penn State, or Nebraska because none of them have competed for championships in decades but I do know that the last years Texas had rosters loaded with 4 and 5 star recruits they played in 4 BCS bowls, winning 3 of them and a National Championship. 2nd, Alabama is not the exception. Clemson was loaded with 4 and 5 stars. Ohio State was loaded with 4 and 5 stars. So was Florida State before them. The list goes on and on. You could make the case that a great coach like Gary Patterson has won a lot of games with 2 and 3 star recruits but where are his NC trophies? Just making an opinion, which is what IMHO means. You're so dam defensive about UT and so intent on bashing other schools. The statement wasn't meant to bring out your biases.

Truth is 40-50% of the kids signed yesterday (at all schools) will never see the field. They will not pan out against top college opponents or will transfer or just quit. It's the remaining ones that you hope do pan out and are as good as advertised.

with the new signees plus the guys who return on the OL if they can stay healthy this season they should be fine. Not great but serviceable. Losing Conner Williams will hurt.
The defense should be stout again. They signed 3 of the top 5 Safeties in the country.

It is what he does. It is what many t-sips do. How many threads are started that sips end up bashing A&M or any other school?

At that point it turns into a fight of who is better. Same thing happened with this thread. you at least provide some substance in your post where his are very predictable and the same comment each time. He lacks the ability to read and be informed to make any other post.

Is this the thread where all the junior college graduates pretend they have an affiliation with UT and declare themselves National Signing Day Champs? Rofl.... Groundhogs Day is more like it.
