AUSTIN - After a second straight top three recruiting class and a Sugar Bowl win, the bar has been raised at Texas.
Coach Tom Herman volunteered the next step on a national signing day minus very many signings or drama in the Big 12. Texas finished signing day ranked third in the 247Sports composite ranking, just ahead of in-state rival Texas A&M. Oklahoma came in sixth, its highest ranked class since 2010. TCU was next in the Big 12 at 32 as most schools added a few late recruits at positions of need.
Beating Oklahoma in the recruiting rankings is one thing.
