It's still disappointing that we didn't see a bump at all from the Daniel/Maclin/Coffman seasons, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Hopefully the new guy from LSU will get it into a higher gear.

Yep, I am thrilled to get Henson in here to lead recruiting and see what we can do. Pinkel and his Toledo guys have done well, but we obviously needed to look outside the circle to take us to the next level.
We can't discount what Pinkel has done with 2 and 3 stars the past few years, but odds are he can't continue to do it, and hopefully we start getting more 4 and 5 stars. I like the players we got this year, but we lstill ost a few too many head-to-head recruiting battles.
Also, what I like best about this class is that we beefed up in the trenches. Having great skill players is nice, but we're not going to start beating the likes of OU or UT until we match their talent on the offensive and defensive lines. Sheldon is going to be a beast.
