But I wouldn't write us off just yet. We have the #1 QB recruit in the country coming in to replace Johnny so we should be OK.

And Bit,

Texas issue in recruiting is that guys like Geoff Ketchum who run the Texas Rivals recruiting sites and are big UT homers so they would rank players on their school decision rather than ability. If a 4 star kid chose A&M, he got bumped down to a 3 star and if a 3 star chose UT he got bumped to a 4 star.

The result was these vastly overrated classes which then combined with the laziness and entitlement of "you're at UT so you're too good to try and work hard and get better!"
10th, any major football schools that gets a new recruit see his status on the various recruiting sites jump up higher, while recruits to lesser favored schools see the opposite happen. That's been a fact of life that everyone has realized for a long time. Texas isn't alone in that. Most SEC schools, including Texas A&M, get the same kind of treatment...

Im not saying its unique, just extremely pervasive when you have honest to God UT t-shirt fans running the local rankings and intentionally remolding them to have UT's class always come out on top in order to sell subscriptions to other UT t-shirt fans that tell them what they want to hear: "All is well and UT has the best of everything like always"

THAT is the problem with the UT program (and even they see it) that too much time is spent on preserving and cultivating this image of infallibility and invulnerability in recruiting and not enough time getting the actual players.

When you are more worried about spinning reality to make it look like you've never lost a recruiting battle to any other Texas team n("Mack Didn't Offer", "Not Texas Good") than on actually winning those battles, thats a big issue.
