I personally think it will happen with both recruiting and on the field. The big 12 is weak, period, all Texas needs is a QB and we should be the favorites to win this damn conference and make the playoffs. That is the thing about playing all these young pups, they grow up fast and mean, and they remember all the beatings they took.
Charlie has a rough decision at QB because his status is so shaky.
If he were confident that he'd be around for the next 5 years, it should be a no-brainer to start Beuchele and take the freshman lumps now.
But he's not, so he may try to squeeze a few wins this year and roll with Swoopes
We haven't had a consistent starter at QB since Colt McCoy. It's so hard to believe.
If Charlie fails as a coach at Texas, it will be because of the QB position. He has been masterful at developing talent at every other position. If he can't turn it around, I will not be upset he would be leaving this program a lot better than he found it.
I almost wish Texas would go after another QB in the 2017 class or two in 2018, I'm starting to think none of the Black QBs at Texas are going to pan out. (not Racist)
You know Colt was never supposed to be a starter at Texas, we had him and Perrloser penciled in at QB He was just supposed to be at Texas as a career backup, but Perrloser decided to pull his BS and Texas was stuck with only Colt.
Lucky Mack.
Lol masterful
Texas has 5 Dbs, 3 linebackers, 2 DE, 3 olinemen, 3 receivers, and 2 runningbacks all projected to be drafted over the next 4 seasons. Incredibly, only one of them will be eligible in next years NFL draft. The rest are projected to be in the 2018 and 2019 draft.
I'd say masterful.
What were their rivals ratings
Malik was a 5'star so some would call him a no brainer.
Connor Williams, Patrick Vahe, Kent Perkins, John Burt, Armani Foreman, Chris Warren, Anthony Wheeler, Holton Hill, Chris Boyd, Devante Davis, Collin Johnson, Derek Roberson, and Deshon Elliott, were all 4'star
Naashon Hughes and PJ Locke were 3'star
D'Onta Foreman, and Breckyn Hager were 2-star
Masterful
Our last coaching staff had back to back to back top 5 classes and what did he do with them? How do you have a top 5 class and none of them get drafted?
That was terrible coaching.
The rest of the world sees all the talent they manage to recruit and wonder why their record isn't better. They were super proud of managing to hold on against a Baylor team with far less talent and a wide receiver playing quarterback.
A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. For Texas last year that link was the QB position. Year before it was the oline. maybe it is the coaches. Point being if you have great recruiting at all positions except one, you are going to have trouble because good coaches will see it and find a way to exploit it.
UT passed on Andrew Luck, Johnny Manziel, Jameis Winston and JT Barrett. Masterful.
Macksterful.
Baker Mayfield, RG3, Michael Brewer, I'm sure I can come up with more
I don't think Griffin was ever interested in UT. He was going to UH until Briles moved to Baylor, and he followed partially because they have a good track program.
Mack got lazy in his recruiting, that is why we are in the position we are in. The fact that he wanted to hang on for one more year because he was sure he had a championship in 2014 is enough to tell you how much he dropped. The man stopped caring after 2009.

Says UT offered RG as an athlete not a qb
Nobody knows what Mack was doing those last few years.
Nice catch. Thank you.
Even more damning that they didn't even entertain the idea of having him play QB. Not that he probably would have done well being shoehorned into their offense.
