Bro. All your post on this subject are against these TCU defensive players. U go tell a recruit to come to TCU, you will help them win 40 games, u will be a unanimous All Conf selection and by the way, don't even think about going to an All Star game and u probably won't go to a combine. See how many prospects will sign the dotted line. You need to check yourself. We didn't have 20 defensive players- we had 4 on defense that was deserving. If we can't get 4 players from a championship level team to a min of an All Star game invite, we have a lot of work to do. End of argument.
I don't mean this to disparage any of the 4 guys who you are talking about. All 4 are listed below with the offers they held before they chose TCU. None of the 4 were blue chip recruits, and the closest would have been Texada. But even then none of these guys were pulling offers from traditional powers. They are all undersized for their position except maybe Orr. Good players no doubt but we were the best offer for all of them. You keep saying how are we able to get prospects to "sign the dotted line"? Well it's because we took 4 guys who had mostly offers of lower prestige than TCU. If they hadn't have come here you probably would have never heard from them again. But they got to come to TCU and be on a great team and make all conference and all american and give themselves a chance as undersized/under recruited players to make the NFL. The problem is not with us as fans or TCU not promoting them or the NFL for not inviting them to all star games and combines. They all came in as guys with an outside chance at the league and they made that chance bigger by coming here. So while they all were great college players, you can't expect them to be shoe ins for all star games because they have great stats.
