"We have gotten burned with OOS recruits in the past". I like Texas recruits too, but that is a very non-factual statement. I will go back with you as far as you want to go, but we will keep it fairly current. I guess we got burned on Ricky Williams, Casey Studdard, Lyle Sendlein, Chase Pittman, Bo Scaife, Phillip Geiggar, Chris Simms, Major Applewhite, and now Blaine Irby, Lamarr Houston, also Aaron Lewis? Given time I could get you a lot more. Texas has always made Texas recruits priority, but to say out of staters haven't been good and great contributors just isn't true. The death of one Freddie Steinmark off of a NC team also comes to mind. That era had many; Jim Bertlesen, Robin Sendlein, David Studdard, Mossy Cade, Jeff Leiding, A. J. Jones and the list just grows as you think back. Most of all of these older ones were All-Americans as were some of the younger ones I mentioned too, one a Heisman Trophy winner.
