After the dust has settled I think UCLA had the biggest day I'm not sure I've ever seen a team close that strong. Not sure if they were sandbagging or what but that jump was impressive.

Weak sauce on that BS. You have the 1 or 2 class in the country but have to take the low road in regards to your rival. Be careful next you will be tea bagging guys at fast food restaurants and poisoning trees.

Funny, because I was thinking that about OU. Texas got a 4 star DT QB, but OU took 0 QBs. Interesting move

I think they are content with the guys they have with Trevor Knight probably being the odd man out. Baker Mayfield knows Riley pretty well from their days at Tech. I think Mayfield will be the guy to get the nod. However Justice Hansen imo is the most talented qb on campus and will get his due.

I've honestly kind of wondered whether Hansen might be the big surprise this year and win the job like Bradford did.

As bad as our defense is (and always has been), I'm glad to see that we're building our offense back up... It's been going downhill every since Leach left

We snagged some good, big receivers (top 2 guys are 6-6 and 6-4)... some good offensive linemen... and a pretty good looking running back

Not trying to trash talk your team, but I didn't see anything in techs recruiting class that seems to indicate they're going to be changing course.

Its always a real bad move to skip a class. Sometimes you get guys that are 3-4 year starters that mask the issue, but its hard to rely on that. Normal healthy situation is to have an upperclassmen QB starter. It nice to have 2 guys that are upperclassmen. You only need a 50% success rate. Seems odd to me, especially given recent OU QB play.

That's going to look awful appealing to next year's class of QB's.

TECH actually had a nice little NSD rally. It was impressive within the confines of the Big 12.
Recruiting is more important relative to the teams in your own league.

Texas Tech landed the 3rd best Big 12 class.
That is a big win for them.

They are probably never going to outrecruit Texas and Oklahoma.
But, it is important to stay ahead of TCU and Baylor in state recruiting.

Thats what Texas thought when they skipped a class and signed 5 star Garret Gilbert. When that did not work out a true freshmen was forced into action. Puts a lot of pressure on that 2016 kid to develop, because if he doesnt there will be a big check to pay.

Not really the same scenario. OU has four quarterbacks, none of which are in their senior year, and only one who could even enter the draft next year (knight). Mayfield is a RS sophomore who's shown he can be successful in an air raid style offense, Knight is a junior, Thomas is a RS sophomore, and Hansen is a very highly touted RS Freshman. They've got time and can afford to do this. When Gilbert grape didn't work out, texas' only option was a true freshman.

The question becomes what happens if Mayfield starts this year and Knight and Thomas move on. It the unexpected things that happen that turn the tenable into the untenable. In this day and age its hardly unexpected to see a QB transfer after he losses a job. No idea how it will work out, I have always hated when Texas missed on a position.

Time for someone to magically offer CeCe Jefferson's high school coach a staff job.


Sounds like Papa is wanting other schools to sweeten the pot.
