What I’ve always heard is not that their ratings were inflated by signing with Texas, but rather Mack Brown would sign these highly rated players (mainly from Texas) very early junior year and I think some possibly as early as sophomore year. The kids then didn’t work at their craft or just didn’t keep developing, so by the time they entered college they weren’t as good as their rankings indicated. End result was the same as what you said, but I don’t think it was Texas’ interest that got them rated highly initially, but them being Texas recruits did probably keep their rankings elevated higher than they should have been when recruiting services did subsequent evals and rerankings.
-develop and maintain good relationships with h.s. coaches
The young man saidAuburn fires Harsin....see if anyone leaves or decommits
Jamarrion Harkless had this to say about Auburn in the last month or so
"The coaching staff, they really believe in me, and I really like them. When I committed, like eight players hit me up and said welcome to the family, so they are really welcoming. The environment, I mean, it's like no other. I think it's the best environment I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot of schools."
All good if stays at Auburn but wouldn't hurt to reach out to him today

We've been the 2nd worse program in all of college football the last decadish+. We have a long road to go before we can just count on players that "want to be here". Saying a historical SEC powerhouse has the best game environment he's been to shouldn't be something we disqualify recruits at critical positions from.
I agree with the SEC, not sold he will stay at Auburn
He knew all of this before he commited to Illinois.
100% true just saying we can't fault the kid for going and seeing the spectacle of SEC football and being impressed. Likely a moot point since seems he wants to stay in the SEC but if he has any interest we should welcome him back with open arms. Regardless we are on the proper trajectory where recruits that want to be here and talent level to take us to the next level will intersect.
