Baylor is 9-2 (with a bad loss to TCU. Should be 10-1). How many current Baylor players were offered a scholarship from UT? What is Baylor's average recruitment star rating (for the last 4 years)? Just curious.
I went through their classes on Rivals, and the "offer" checkmark was present for a lot of them, but we'll never know how reliable that really is. This is why it's hard to believe the people who say it's on the players when we're struggling. A team that arguably has like half the high school talent not only beats us but opponents that we struggle against. It's because their coaches put them in a position to succeed.
There's truth in that. But when you have to go to the portal because there's not enough linebackers to field a team...there's definitely some talent shortages.
The differentiator will always be coaching. As I have opined ad nauseam and will always believe, good talent with great coaching will almost always beat great talent with good coaching. We have been out-coached in virtually every game against a quality opponent this year. And that, perhaps more than anything else, really troubles me with respect to Sark and the staff.
