The quote by Mike Craven was "... The only recruits ranked higher than Bijan Robinson in Herman’s era at #Hookem are Sterns, Foster in 2018."

The ratings for all three were --
Bru .9944
Sterns .9886
Foster .9865
So, for Craven's claim to be true, you have to exclude McCoy

And he cannot exclude any player who was on the roster at his whim. He is WRONG.

2020 4-star DE Princely Umanmielen (6'4,249) of Manor was trending to us for awhile early, then ou, then aggy. TFB thinks he is now trending back towards us. He attended the Terry Price BBQ last weekend but apparently Terry overcooked the brisket, just like Muschamp suggested he would. He is supposed to announce in Oct. As always, we will see.
Princely Umanmielen, Manor, Strong-Side Defensive End

Herman can't make up for the failings of Mack Brown or Charlie Strong, all he can do is win the games in front of him. I feel really good about our chances this year.

I have no idea why blOwU is ranked so high to start this season.

1. they are breaking in a brand new QB, yes, Riley is a QB whisper, but not every qb is a heisman winner.
2. They lose 4 of their 5 starting offensive linemen.
3. They kept most of that terrible defense.

They do have some great backs and receivers, but I just don't see them beating Texas this season. Wouldn't it be funny if Texas beats both Oklahoma and LSU and both those schools go on to have crappy seasons. Then we will hear aggy talk about how we didn't play anyone this year.

I don't forecast TX/ou based off depth charts. It's a game that's hard to predict until maybe the sunday before...even then.

ou sux green donkey weiners, but the last 4 years they've finished #5, #5, #3, and #4. i just don't see "crappy season" because they have jalen hurts as their "new qb."

But UT vs. OU is about .500 the last 5 years with lesser UT teams winning against much more talented OU teams.

New OL is a mystery for both, but UT will be deeper than last year and hopefully improved. OU defense may be better, but that may not be saying much. Grier had his hiney owned by Purdue last year and Maryland too until they ran out of players.

RRR is never predictable, though.

I don't like this one bit, when it comes to donkey wieners, The University of Methlahoma will suck any color donkey wiener. Red, Black, Brown, Yellow, they do not discriminate against the color of wiener they put in their mouth or any other orifice. All donkey wieners are equal in their eyes.

Well Bru didn't stay around long enough to play one game so it was not a successful recruit.

Immaterial. He was still signed and on the roster, so in terms of HS rating at time of signing he was more highly rated.

But ultimately, it is what happens on the field after signing that matters. HS Stars mean nothing then. Neither do players who do not buy-in to the program.

A) They don't have to play up anything. If a recruit goes to OU odds are they probably could not qualify for admission to a real university like Texas. Hence they will be just as stupid when they leave as when they arrived.

Fixed it for you.

B) I would remove the quotes from dominance.

Like in UT has dominated OU 15 more games in the series?

Vol Horn 4 Life said:
C) It doesn't take much to explain to a recruit considering other schools when our last conference championship was and how many we've won since the Big XII started.

So you really think that ring sets a player up for life after football? That is really sad.

We own this problem and it's up to Herman and Co to change it. We have to do more than just win the annual showdown. We have to win nearly every conference game for the next decade to get close.

No, OU has to win for the next 15 games straight to get even.

Stay away from the Blow U Kool-Aid.

Do you have reading comprehension issues? My post had nothing to do with head to head. Winning a game is nice, but winning championships is better. If you think beating OU is more important than winning championships then you've been hanging around too many of your aggy friends.

Wow repressed Aglet love, is it?

Perhaps you do not understand that series has outlasted at least 3 or 4 conferences? One ignores history at one's own peril.

I assure you there will be other conferences of which Texas will be a member with other championships to come. Relax.

You obviously don't know who you're starting a pissing contest with, brand new guy. He's been a valued and respected poster here for a loooong time; you just started this week. You need to chill your confrontational *** down until you get the lay of the land. There are other Longhorn website where ******** are appreciated.

Burnt, Texas has beaten OU more times than they’ve lost, but OU has more hardware. I’ve said in the past that Texas May beat Oklahoma more often in the series, but when OU is good they’re not just good they’re great. See last year. Lost the shootout but won the ccg and made the CFP...

Perhaps you dont understand we're talking recruiting and the question was about OU getting recruits to not go to Texas. 18 yo Elite kids dont care how many times Texas has beaten OU in the last 100+ years unless they grew up a Longhorn fan. They care about championships.

It's fun for you to yell scoreboard and make fun of academics, but all they have to do is point to the championship trophies. Again, claiming scoreboard is very aggy when the other team is piling up championships. They have 12 and we have 3 so I stand by my first comment we would have to win the next 10 straight to pass them. They literally have won the Big XII on average a little better than every other year...which honestly is quite incredible. It's a whole lot easier to recruit and keep kids from coming here with that stat on your side.

Anyway, back to recruiting.

It is called intercollegiate athletics for a reason. Only the NFL minor leaguers point to their trophy case and ignore the wrecked lives of the discarded athletes who have no future because they have no education. That stupid trophy case does not make them a great university impacting the world for the better. Do you think Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Rice or other elite academic schools really care what is in their athletic trophy case?

No, they do not, and that is why Blow U academics are a bad joke for their athletes and they pass off their athletics because, "Kid, you are going to the NFL, you will be set for life." BS. Texas is playing at a totally different level academically. If you really want the athletic trophy case to be the final arbiter of your school's impact on civilization, go root for your OU, Alabama, Clemson or other NFL minor league franchise because that will never be the primary purpose of the University of Texas.
