I see you came on board the premium board, I know you're interested in recruiting so hopefully you'll like the other stuff you see.

Yes, Rhule has to win, absolutely for sure this year. He won't be able to get recruits to believe 2 years in a row on a losing record. Saying Rhule isn't Art, in the sense of raising up kids from 2-3 stars to great players, I don't think is capable of being answered yet. His Fr did well this year. His schemes may not be as friendly as CABs in the since of being able to applied easily and efficiently, but year 2 is make or break for a lot of things.

Fleeks is solid with us. Thanks Joey McGuire.

Agree!

Can't believe this is a question. CMR has put together an unbelievable top 25 class despite the rape enabling culture and sea of bad press created by Briles's lack of management and controls over the program on his watch. Hats off to great recruiting right after your predecessor brought the program to epic lows in the media. He may just be doing the best recruiting job in the nation given his own 1-11 record as well. You may question CMR on a lot of things, but, so far, recruiting is not one of those.

Not counting Hackett due to the unknowns at this point, there are four 4* committed plus Phillips, who prolly ought to be. That ain't bad for BU, and there are several others at this level who the gurus think will commit. That's not a sackful of "Malik Jeffersons" but I'm not sure that will be a reality going forward even with great success.....that we will 'cruit with the traditional power schools.

All things considered, recruiting has exceeded any and all realistic expectations.

I don't think anyone could argue that point.

The coaches recruiting has been great. Last year we had one recruit and I was looking at how many 2 star guys we would probably get and They got many very good players. This year has been even better. If we could only get schemes and play calling as good as recruiting. Then recruiting would only get better.

As the players mature, the schemes and play calling will start to look better.

Agreed for the most part. It's time to win. If he does - and he SHOULD be able to do so this season (at least 6 wins, IMO) - the recruits will come. There's too much talent on this team to see anything close to a repeat of what we saw last year. So, regardless of what happens, this year there will be no excuses. And while I don't think he will ever duplicate Briles' success (he got rid of the nuclear weapon), I believe he can be successful.

And with respect to the premium board, trying it out. While I think many of the posters are overly optimistic (if not borderline delusional), the recruiting info has been great. Kudos to Ashley and Brian on that front.

Couple of things...

If you will read my post again, I questioned not whether this is a good class, but whether it is as great as the characterizations that have been given to it. When I saw us ranked in the bottom half of the Big 12, it made me question those characterizations. As I suggested in the OP, and as you alluded to, it is indeed a very good class when considering where the program was when Rhule inherited it. When compared to other Big 12 programs, not so much. But again, given the perspective of where we came from, I agree with you.

Let's see where it ends up. All signs point to a very solid class, and that is what we need to get back to winning. Once we get back to winning, we can start to get those kinds of classes that we were just starting to get before the recent disaster. We did not suffer the kind of drop off in recruiting I kind of expected last year. If the NCAA doesn't beat us down too badly, our only really down class will have been the 2016 class, where we basically lost the top half of it. This puts us in pretty good shape for the long term from a football perspective.

One of the things that has bothered me during this whole fiasco is the rather flippant references to a 'rape enabling culture,' a broad brush statement that makes a lot of assumptions that may or may not actually be true but is based on that "sea of bad press" that basically paints an entire group of Baylor students as a bunch of rapists.

Briles first few years? You are absolutely clueless. 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. Years 1 and 2 were .8131 and .8287.

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?

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.

Why shouldn't you be? That's sort of the goal.

Took Briles 6 years to get there though.

Judging from Rhule's superior recruiting, that should expedite expectations in competing and winning the Big 12, so my guess is the time frame should be much shorter.

Art Briles took over a team that had endured a decade of blowouts and a roster utterly lacking in Big 12 talent, and damn near reached bowl eligibility in year 1.

Matt Rhule took over a team with (at least) a good 1st team talent. He beat the hell out of them with stupid drills, gravely misused his talent, developed no offensive identity whatsoever, and missed two layup wins against freaking Liberty and UTSA.

No. Briles took over a team and fanbase with decades of losing and being a complete joke in CFB. Rhule's recruiting is already ahead of Briles best recruiting, meaning his talent level will be much higher much faster than Briles was, and he inherited more talent (albeit no depth) than Briles did and he has better facilities than Briles did. I would think year 4 would be reasonable given all of that, especially cause we keep being told that Rhule is the "real deal".

Given how much Rhule is being paid, bowl eligibility every year is a must, and being in the hunt for a conference title by year 4 should be expected.

These facts make it all the more incredible what CAB did with them. Middle of the road (relative to Big12) and winning championships. THAT IS COACHING. Hopefully CMR can do the same.

Not too bad on paper with all things considered. Bout on par with what Briles did his first few years. Course Briles didn't have a shiny new stadium to cruit to.

Briles first few years? You are absolutely clueless. 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. Years 1 and 2 were .8131 and .8287.

Man yall recruiting average guys are hilarious. I mean really gotdang hilarious.

Please share your genius methodology for ranking recruiting classes.

There aint one. Not a dang difference between some kid ranked 175 and 275. Bluechippers are bluechippers. And every cruitin service has a different methodology. Shoot yall dont act like some kid who signs with Bama doesnt jump 50 spots just for signing with Bama. Gimme a break.

Recruiting is going outstanding. We are exactly where we thought we would be in this process. Don't worry. We will win and win big!
