I remember (several years ago) when Texas always had a top recruiting class. They didn't have to recruit they just selected the best players in Texas that they wanted, etc. Texas is the state's "flagship" school and was most of the Texas high school player's first choice. If you look at recruiting today (for 2016):

Scout has

15. Baylor
17. TCU
22. T A&M
23. Texas Tech
30. Texas
37. Houston

Rivals has

9. Baylor
13. T A&M
17. TCU
27. Houston
38. Texas Tech
45. Texas

Charlie Strong is getting his butt kicked in recruiting by the other Texas instate schools. Anybody have any idea why Charlie isn't able to recruit in Texas?

He is a Florida guy and 16 year olds don't remember when UT was relevant?

Recruits look at Vince Young and wonder if going to UT will make them retarded too.

Because Texas isn't "cool" anymore. All of the other programs in that state, save for probably Tech, have some combination of more recent success, innovative offenses, dynamic coaches, or are media-darlings.

Texas, meanwhile, hasn't accomplished squat this decade. Plus, their offense has been gridiron ambien, and I don't know many people that would classify Charlie as "dynamic." Most kids being recruited now were 10 or 11 years old the last time Texas had any national relevance, and were around 5-6 when they won a Natty with Vince. Texas fell into one of those perfect storms during their 2003-09 run. They were the big dog in the state, as Baylor/Tech/Aggy were all down. TCU was stuck in a mid-major conference, and Houston was an after-thought. Then, Mack got fat and lazy, stopped recruiting QBs, and everybody passed him by. It's gonna be tough to climb outta that hole, and I don't think Charlie will ever get the traction to do it. If/when they move on from Charlie, that hire will be CRITICAL. They need a dynamic program builder to come in and totally revamp them. That guy might be over in Houston.

10 teams that could make big jump in recruiting rankings

Charlie Strong's job certainly hasn't been easy. He's been on the hot seat for a while and the Longhorns aren't winning like they're used to. Strong has 4-star quarterback Shane Buechele and 4-star wide receiver Collin Johnson on campus already, but if he can land 4-star safeties Brandon Jones and Deontay Anderson, Strong can get Texas into the top 30.
