The Texas Longhorns class currently sits at seven commitments with every verbal being a four-star prospect, or better long term in the case of Evan Stewart.
It's percentages time! The IT staff looks at several top targets on the Texas board and offers how strong a chance the Longhorns have to win the recruitment.
I detailed Steve Sarkisian's college QB developmental history and his ability to elevate quarterbacks is proven, whether in unleashing the previously untapped potential of one-time "bust" Carson Palmer, exploiting the heady play of Cody Kessler, constructing the Matt Sanchez mirage with play action, or exploiting the decision-making and ball placement of trait twins Matt Leinart and Mac Jones.
If you’ve followed recruiting for any length of time, you know decision timelines can change in a hurry. In fact, a good staff will tend to get recruits off of their timelines somewhat frequently. It helps when recruits are feeling urgent.
One of the questions about Sarkisian while head coach at both Washington and Southern Cal was his commitment to recruiting hard and recruiting at a level that could make either program, USC in particular, a national power. While recruiting for Sark may have been an issue previously, it's definitely not showing any signs of being a problem at Texas.

The Texas Longhorns currently sit in the top 5 of the 2022 class rankings. While the start is terrific and the momentum is building for Steve Sarkisian and staff, there is plenty of work to do be done to sign a class that finishes in the top 5.
