The top recruits have got to see these numbers and put it together. We should start to really see the serious athletes knocking on the door.

What I meant to say was the highly touted 4 and 5 star recruits with pro aspirations, that seem to get so easily swayed to the state schools. They are all serious athletes at this stage.

ESPN just gave Coach P even more ammo to fling around on the recruiting trail. Geez, some of these reports are spectacular -- this and the SI article about how TCU is No. 1 in the country in preventing athlete crime and misbehavior -- the all-knowing BCS may not have thought us worthy to play in their title game, but at least we know we're already champions in more ways than one.

Found this picture of Teague busting up a pass from Lestar Jean (who is surprisingly impressive so far.)

That's because of the change our Athletics Marketing/Media Relations has made in the past 10 years, when LT was here we were Texas Christian, but it's now only (supposed to be) referred to as TCU. It's in the Media Relations guide.

It's been that way in the Media Guide for the last 11 years at the very least.
