Starting to wonder if the real Mack Brown has been kidnapped & some sort of clone is running the show...I'm not sure I recall this much OOS recruiting in the previous 5 years combined
Kudos to Mack for listening to Vinny Cerrato & the asst coaches for at least evaluating more OOS recruits

the architect (along with Barry Alvarez) of ND's resurgence under Lou Holtz......later on, he was a disaster at the Washington Redskins as GM

Lincoln High, the HS for the Robinsons, has put out a lot of top flight football talent over the years with Marcus Allen the best of the bunch.

From Justin Hopkins at DuckTerritory:

Wanting to play D-1 football AND basketball seems overly ambitious given how the seasons overlap so much. I wouldn't think that is very realistic these days. Is there anyone of note that currently does it??

I don't know anyone currently, but Donovan McNabb, Charlie Ward, Julius Peppers, and Tony Gonzales all did it.

Good list, HC. I immediately thought of Peppers and Gonzales, but forgot about the obvious with Ward. Don't think I even realized McNabb did it. None of those guys are recent -- I'm guessing there is much more specialization among today's athletes.

Don't get too excited until we actually get some to sign.

Thanks textex & gohorns on info about Carreto. I read where there was a consultant but also watched Mack at a press conference where he said there wasn't a consultant other than himself. Good move by Texas, changes had to happen.

Texas has known about the Robinson twins since at least last summer as both football and basketball recruits.

The OOS recruiting budget must be a beneficiary of the LHN.

Haha...pays to have the richest athletic department in the country.
Seems like it'll be hard to get these guys out of the west coast at the end of the day IMO.

You would think so, but these guys have been very high on Texas since they entered high school and were originally thought to just be basketball recruits. Some in the Cali area were even saying that the Robinsons would be coming to Texas last year(but for basketball).
