Thought for sure based on Froggish comments that Baylor had like 10 4/5 stars committed for 2021 already.
Getting some slightly higher rated players than us and "lapping" us aren't the same thing. Texas is lapping us.
Unfortunately not one of our guys but interesting stat still.texas has had an interesting recruiting season so to speak so far.
they absolutely crushed it for 6-weeks last summer when they pulled 5 4-stars and a 5-star. since then they did land the de out of port arthur who i wished gave the frogs a serious look and then 5 3-stars. still good talent, but not nearly the level they were at last summer
the two to watch will be the brockermeyer brothers who have strong texas ties, but are looking outside texas as well as ut.
Long way to go until December for that school down in Waco and SMU, As we have learned in the past a lot of these commits aren't as solid when they start getting offers from higher profile programs. Let's see if both of them can hold those classes together. I can pretty much guarantee BU 17, SMU 27 TCU 65 will not be the final rankings
hire? Are they putting their recruits on the payroll?They have 6 commits rated hire than anyone we have committed. There back half is dragging their player avg down. It’s irrelevant at this point in the cycle but this [ "illegitimate Baylor boys" ] are doing a solid job
on paper this is a very, very good year for the defensive end position in texas and the best in quite some time.
7 of the top 50 prospects are projected to defensive end so tcu needs to get some work done in state and no damn reason virginia tech and minnesota are coming down here pulling defensive linemen out of the state
would love to see tcu end up with regis from la porte who is currently a minnesota commit
The DE position appears to be full for 2021:
Returning (6)
Armstrong
Barquet
Coleman
Elison
Horton
Mathis
Committed (1)
Murray
I know some can slide to other positions but with the class size for 2021 being very limited it is tough to see them overload too much at one position. Good news is at least number-wise other than TE (Need 2) and QB (Need 1 and they have 2 commits) the positions are really well stocked depth-wise (you can argue talent...). So there is some wiggle room and I know the want to use some of that on beefing up the OL, DBs and WRs, maybe a very good DT. So what is left? Another DE would be nice but it may come down to a numbers game and unknown transitions.

Regis is currently committed to Minn because we backed off, so there actually IS a reason.
based upon last year's play against the run and lack of pass rush those are names on a list with 4 of the 7 yet to play a down and a number needing to gain size and strength
too many talented pass rushers to in the state this year not to bring in a couple
thanks, very few defensive tackles in high school are athletic enough to effectively play te / fb so i am sure staff has their reasons
Lots of youth at that position so that makes it even tougher to overload right now. Things can definitely change but emphasis seems to be elsewhere currently.

I’m all for loading up in the trenches but We have 20+ OL on the roster and we are still offering JUCOs..Not a very good indicator the staff likes much of the OT youth in house.
