Not sure how true, but I read an article where his recruiting classes were not as good as their ranking. He would offer in their Jr year of HS, and these kids who did commit would keep their high rankings, even if they didn't pan out their Sr year. The article also said if you committed to Brown, he wouldn't take your scholly away, even if you sucked.

While there's *some* truth to that, it's mostly historical revisionism.
Those highly ranked kids Texas was landing were also wanted by everyone else. They had offers from A&M, OU, LSU, Alabama, OSU, USC, and chose Texas. So to accept that they were all a bunch of scrubs who just got inflated rankings for being UT commits, we'd also be saying that EVERY other big school around was wrong too. That's too big of a stretch. Were they somewhat overrated? Yeah, I think Ketch did overrate them to some degree, but overall they still had a shite ton of talent everyone else wanted and should've won more than they did.
Where Mack DID bomb HUGE in recruiting particularly near the end was at QB. That was a mega big contributor to his fall.
That, and the fact that he/his staff is/were terrible developers of talent. They became notorious within the NFL for producing soft-arse players that hadn't progressed much in terms of fundamentals.
