I keep seeing how many of the Rhule supporters are touting what a great recruiter Rhule is and how well he's done thus far, but wonder about such claims. The class currently has 1 committed 4 star out of 19 commits and is ranked 6th in the Big 12. That doesn't seem so great when compared to recent classes. So what is the basis for this claim? Is it because no one expected us to recruit so well given how bad the season went and because of the scandal? Is it because some are anticipating some highly ranked recruits to commit in the near future? What is it?
You are a Mothra of idiocy. The 2018 class will be on par with any Briles class and miles ahead of his first few classes. The 247 Avg. rating right now is .8624. If we add most of the prospects currently projected, that avg. will go up. BTW, the highest Avg. rating for Briles was .8548 in 2012. Yes, he took over a program with little talent. What did Rhule take over? A program that lost most of its 2016 class following "the mess". Rhule and Co. are possibly going to sign the highest 247 Avg. rated class in school history following "the mess" and 1-11. What do morons like you expect?
It would be nice if you could make a cogent argument without name calling and personal attacks. You seem to be really touchy about this subject. Are you related to Rhule or on his staff?
Numnut, if you will read the rest of the thread, you will see I didn't say this class wasn't a good one. I said it didn't seem to be as good as or have the star power of recent classes, which was of course prior to the several high-quality commits. As I suggested repeatedly, my assessment could change if he halls in some 4-stars moving forward. I also said that I never considered Briles a great recruiter. He wasn't. I suspect Rhule is a better recruiter than Briles when it's all said and done, but at the time I posted, there were a few high-quality recruits that had not yet committed. We remain the 6th best class in the Big 12, just FYI.
Now you are free to rejoin the jumbo shrimp crowd and spread your drivel over there.
