Dammit, you beat me to it, i had made a table and everything. Oh well, I'll just post the table here.
Current commits
| Player | Rank | Stars |
| Patrick Kugler | 25 | 5 |
| Shane Morris | 28 | 5 |
| Dymonte Thomas | 35 | 5 |
| Kyle Bosch | 49 | 4 |
| Chris Fox | 137 | 4 |
| Jake Butt | 147 | 4 |
| Logan Tuley-Tillman | 153 | 4 |
| Wyatt Shallman | 179 | 4 |
| Michael McCray | 202 | 4 |
| Jourdan Lewis | 251 | 3 |
| Davis Dawson | 264 | 3 |
| Jaron Dukes | 287 | 3 |
For what it's worth, Jourdan Lewis is the very first 3-star, and thus I'd guess he bump up to a 4-star in future rankings.
Note: the only two guys of ours who are not the top 300 are Taco and Hill. I'm not too surprised to see Hill not on the rankings, but I am surprised to see Taco not be included.

Re: Taco
Their explanation has been that he was only a situational pass rusher his junior year, and they don't think he's nearly polished enough.

Yes
Yes
Yes - Scout is crazy high on Kugler. Lichtenfels says he's the best PA lineman in several years with his combination of intensity and smarts.
Lichtenfels says Kugler is bigger than both Stefon Wisnewski and Chris Jacobson, but is like a meaner Wisnewski or smarter Jacobson. Those are some high expectations.
And he's our center. BAHAHA.
Intensity is a lot of guys that run fast.

They usually throw out lots of offers on their junior day, but this year they only offered about 7 guys.
It just so happened that those guys decided to commit after the junior day. Like you said Texas is still going to be Texas when it comes to recruiting.

Texas..
Texas..
I don't get it with the Longhorns. For all the talk about how well the SEC recruits Texas recruits just as well year in and year out. Since 2002 they've had two #1 classes, four #3, #7, #10, #13, #14 & #16. That's eight top 10 classes in the last eleven years and only 1 MNC since 1970.
By contrast:
LSU has had two #2, #3, #5, three #7, #8, #9, #15 & #19. 2 MNC's
Bama #1, two #2, #4, #7, #16, #18, #19, #22 & two #26+. 2 MNC's
B1G:
OSU #1, two #3, #4, #6, #7, #11, #13, #16, #20 & #25 2 MNC's
UM #2, #4, #5, #6, #8, #9, #10, #12, #14, #19, #29. 0 MNC's

Also, I really hate to say it, but I honestly don't think we have the #1 class in the nation at the current moment. Texas's recruiting class is looking very good right now. That however, can definitely change if we pick up a couple key guys (some combination of Isaac, Treadwell, Fuller, Vanderdoes and Cravens).

Texas almost always starts out #1
Texas almost always starts out #1
They hold their junior day. The entirety of the state of texas attends and hope for an offer. The best guys get one. They commit. Then the rest of the recruiting world catches up and everyone realizes that the Texas players aren't the only good recruits out there.

Texas
Texas
That's what TExas does- they wrap up the kids from Texas early.
Look at all the Texas talent on the top 100- 7/15 of them are going to Texas.
Texas players:
10- Texas
14- Oklahoma
21- uncommited
30- Texas AM
42- Texas
43- Texas
48- Texas
52- Texas
53- Texas
54- Texas AM
70- uncommited
78- Texas
84- uncommited
89- uncommited
100- uncommited
MICHIGAN PLAYERS
28 (Morris)- UM
99- Elmer- ND
They have a huge advantage with so many Texas kids commiting early and so many top TX recruits. MI can't just take top MI guys and get a top 10 class like Texas can. It is harder to get a top class when there are less guys who immediately sign- like the top TX guys who root for Texas and sign right away.
TX 15, MI 2 for top 100- that's why Texas can put up quick monster recruiting classes and why it is so amazing Michigan is able to do that without the top MI talent. Ohio State can do similarly in Ohio what Texas does- but not with quite as many top recruits- (Ohio has 5 top 100 recruits- three to OSU, Thomas to us, and one uncommited.)

I guess I will folllow the very biased Rivals Rankings this yeasr since we have 12 4 stars. i wonder if David Dawson stayed in Texas would he have 4 stars now.Also for those who have the time keep track of all of Texas's 4 star recruits and also Bama's recruit to see how many get bumped up to five star status.

I like that they name the top
I like that they name the top
I like that they name the top 300 even if they're being conservative with handing out a fourth star for now (b/c they don't want kids to lose stars later). It was nice to see Dukes show up on one of these lists. There's a big difference between being one of the very top 3-star kids and among the top 300 nationally and being a mid-to-low 3-star. It's both good information and good that guys like Dukes, Lewis, and Dawson are in the former group. (For Hill, I think it's mostly about his position.)
