re: Texas recruiting class according to rivals

Here's also a thought:

By locking up his class early he does 2 things:

1) He makes kids want to commit early. If they don't commit early, someone else might take their spot and they won't get to play for Texas. This stops them from going on a lot of recruiting visits and possibly thinking about other schools. I don't know what his NSD defection rate is, but I would imagine that it's pretty low.

2) He creates a marketing tool for Texas by filling his class early. He makes Texas seem like a program that everyone wants to be a part of, causing all of the early commits. He also makes Texas seem like a school that knows exactly who they want and goes after them. This makes an offer from Texas seem more valuable than an offer from a school that has 200 scholarship offers out to every 4 and 5 star player who will look at them.

.....Just a thought.
