Isn't Brewer from Austin? I know Austin is Liberal as Hell but I still consider it a part of Texas.
Yes but he still called out of the blue. That's his commonality with the others.
I think he had a SMU offer so BU was a big upgrade.
Lovett was an East coast guy, like Rhule.
The other two wanted a fresh start, where better to get one than a rebuilding program. Rhule is a great salesman too.
Don't forget James Lockhart from aTm another guy needing a reset. Lot's of talent in that group.
Baylor rebuilding or Rhule or Both? I think Rhule has some way of connecting. Brewer is a mystery unless he knew Chad Morris was too hot a commodity as a coach and he might start right away. To hear Rhule tell it Brewer called them. I think
Rhule is an exciting recruiter/ had a P5 card Morris did not.
If Rhule is such an exciting recruiter, why are we ranked in the 40s and TX A&M ranked near the top. I guess when this staff doesn't have immediate playing time to offer, the recruiting kind of drops off.
Lulz, star chasing and argumentative do not an arguement make.
Rhule has done phenomenally well on the recruitment trail, as well as Briles, and he's recruited exceptional transfer talent to boot.
Your point is not made comparing Rhule to Briles. Two different coaches, two different times and situations. Baylor has two recent conference championships, a Heisman trophy winner, new facilities, including a new stadium, we are centrally located and we provide a good education. Then why are we behind, TCU, UT and OU. Since most of you did not like my comparison to TX A&M, then why the others.
Baylor was made a pariah in 2016 and Rhule came in in a calendar month and pulled together a respectable class with zero preparation and with only a single recruit committed before he stepped on campus.
He's done gangbusters given the circumstances.
Players play for a coach, not a school unless it has blue blood status or in Aggy's case cult status...and Aggy finally has a coach who has a natty on his resume to boot.
Baylor was appealing because kids played for Briles and Baylor will be appealing now because kids choose to play for Rhule.
Likewise TCU football IS Gary Patterson, nothing else gets kids there.
