2019 Big 12 recruiting classes

Breaking down 2019’s Big 12 recruiting classes

March 13, 2019 by ianaboyd

I wanted to compile all the breakdowns in one spot for reasons of navigation ease and also for some final wrap-up thoughts. Here they are in order of their 247 class ranking: Texas. 3rd nationally. Avg rating: .9153 Oklahoma. 5th nationally. Avg rating: .9120 TCU. 33rd nationally. Avg rating: .8627 Baylor. 35th nationally. Avg rating: … [Read more…]

Breaking down Baylor’s 2019 recruiting class

March 11, 2019 by ianaboyd

Matt Rhule has been fairly obvious about his process for the Bears. From the beginning he was making moves that indicated a preference for rebuilding the program and roster from the ground up. They didn’t force a 22 personnel offense on the spread roster or choose schemes that were a needlessly bad fit for their … [Read more…]

Breaking down TCU’s 2019 recruiting class

March 9, 2019 by ianaboyd

There’s been an amusing trend in Gary Patterson’s public appearances recently, both at his signing day presser and then at a coach’s convention, where he’s noted that TCU’s reputation is better out of state than within the state of Texas. Because of his garrulous and self-referential nature he can be fascinating to listen to as … [Read more…]

Breaking down Texas Tech’s 2019 recruiting class

March 5, 2019 by ianaboyd

Matt Wells’ Utah State program was defined largely by three things. First, the Kyle Whittingham-tree defense. Wells’ came up under Gary Andersen’s Utah State program and would hire more defensive coordinators from that tree, including Texas’ Todd Orlando. Most recently they brought in Keith Patterson, who’d worked in the 3-3-5 stack under Dana Holgorsen and … [Read more…]

Breaking down Oklahoma’s 2019 recruiting class

February 28, 2019 by ianaboyd

This is basically Lincoln Riley’s first recruiting class that he owned from start to finish. Now, I think he was a driving force for Sooner recruiting before taking over as HC but since he has things have really taken off. He’s a strong recruiter with a good grasp of the art of leveraging Oklahoma’s prestige … [Read more…]

Breaking down Oklahoma State’s 2019 recruiting class

February 25, 2019 by ianaboyd

Mike Gundy is, in my estimation, one of the most clever strategists in the Big 12. His program management is clearly high level and the Pokes are regularly anticipating developments around the league and putting themselves in position to be at the cutting edge of evolving tactics. Recently that has meant stockpiling actual, dual-threat TE … [Read more…]

Breaking down West Virginia’s 2019 recruiting class

February 14, 2019 by ianaboyd

Can you sign too many DBs? Not enough Big 12 programs are asking that question, in my opinion. In particular you need guys that can play coverage on a variety of skill players and in a variety of places on the field. None of your potential impact players at DL or LB have much of … [Read more…]
