It's not a great class of WR's comparing to some recent ones.
With that said, I didn't see a WR at The Opening that is better/more talented than Robbie Rhodes. He would have STOOD out on this best on best setting. Has to maximize, but where he stacks up isn't in question for me after traveling around this spring and summer so far with a few more stops to make.

Dumb question, but did he go to Baylor?

He's one of my favorite prospects in this class. Hopefully we keep in touch with him.

To think we courted Samples in lieu of Rhodes is a triple kick in the gut.
Saw him this weekend and he looks really small and is still walking with a limp from his second ankle break. Sucks.

I know we are looking at Devon Allen from AZ, but we really should continue recruiting Rhodes until the ink is dry

Im wondering the same thing as Texas Flood. Are we done recruiting him or do we resume pursuit if the Zona kid commits elsewhere?

I guess we have to hope for a lackluster season for the Bears or at least a dropoff in QB play. Mods, do you think a bad season would discourage Rhodes from signing with Baylor or is he sold on them no matter the record?

I think Warick took Samples scholly.

I figure the coaches are still staying in contact with him. I would hope so anyway.

Rhodes is a potential game-changer at the next level. My question is when is Texas going to get their act together and recruit that type? They seem content loading on possession-types.

If we start throwing the ball around this year and Baylor has the inevitable withdrawal pains from RG3, you never know.

Ummm... we recruited him. He chose Baylor. There are not really any other "types" like him in this class. GH just basically said he's the best receiver in the country in his opinion

The staff did recruit him. They wanted him at junior day. He had an unfortunate situation at home with his father becoming ill, and he couldn't make it. He eventually did make it down, and he was offered a scholarship. We landed Kendall Sanders last year. Marcus Johnson is more than just a possession receiver. Had Thomas Johnson locked up before that was blown to hell. Currently purusing Devon Allen. Feel free to correct anything I have wrong here.

My solution is Art Briles to Tennessee. Then we keep Diaz and can take Rhodes. Also would make our schedule easier. Win, win, win.
