This is common with a new coach taking over. I think they'll finish between 20-25.


I understand that and agree with you. But, considering Herman is moving a mere two hours away and is now at the premier school, I assumed he would be doing better (at least with the in-state kids). I'm sure he developed relationships with Texas players while at Houston. I just thought that now he is at the flagship university, he'd have a lot more ease in luring these kids to Austin.

Texas just went through the worst period in its modern history.

Rhule has gotten 19 commitments in a month at Baylor. Nobody elite but solid 3* athletes. Remarkable considering what he stepped into.

He's at a new job, where it is relative to his old, lesser program is irrelevant. He's had basically 6 weeks to recruit kids to a new school. The old coach left a small class, i don't think they had any decommits, certainly not en masse. Also this class hasn't signed, so judge him once it is over and more telling will be next year. If he bombs in 2018, there will be concern. Until then we don't know how he will do.
