Yeah, get used to losing. At least O prepared us for this

I was torched for this on another thread...but Kelly must get in the “bidding” war and start winning a few. If you have watched Baylor over the past 3 years you see what a team consisting of 3 and 2* recruits can do ...get beat by superior talent.
We are headed in that direction..

We saw it full clear when Ed O was the coach. Then again, it was hard to miss and only a select few imbeciles here recognized just how shitty of a head coach he was.

Tell us how all the 2020-2022 5*s are doing for this season because you do know this season should be lead by those guys?

Last year, Kelly's only full year of recruiting, we had 2 5* 16 4* and 8 3*

By comparison, since everyone is saying we lose all our elite talent to Texas, UT had 4 5* 14 4* and 7 3*. Additionally, every team in the top 10 not Bama, OSU, or UGA had at least 7 3*.

It's a similar scenario with 3* numbers this year thus far, and we have 8 of the top 10 in Louisiana. Last year Curtis and Arch were never coming here. We all know that. So if we remove those two from last year's LA class, we missed on Matthews, Williams, and Holstein. We could have definitely used those defensive guys last night but with how poorly coached the defense looks I don't know if it would have changed things or not. Not to mention we did land comparable talent like Toviano and they were of no help last night.

Acting like Kelly only gets 3* and all LA talent leaves for other teams is just factually wrong. I get we need more high end talent this year in this class, but any recruiting gap we have isn't what caused the result of the game last night.

Uh this is the recruiting board.

One thing bout all this NIL stuff is just like any business, is it sustainable? I can see a A&M buying a few re recruiting classes but theres gonna be bad investments and some hesitation for future investments at some point. Your gonna have to pick and choose at some point because the prices are going to continue to rise for these so called elite unproven guys. There are no cant misses.

True, but frankly, they've got nothing on UT-Austin.

You must not watch any of the recruits, a few of the so called 3*s are ranked as such because of their height. I rather have 3*s that can actually play than 5*s that look good in pads but play like Jane. I’ve seen 3*s out play 5*s in head to head match ups hell I’ve seen the number 1 LB in the nation get bullied by a 2-3*

Speak for yourself. Down, perhaps but not out. No team always gets all the good players. No team wins all the championships. It's football, it's entertainment. Try and enjoy the journey.
