Rivals.com says Mack recruiting well for 2006
With more than 300 players signing Division I scholarships in Texas for the past seven years and 180-plus players in the class of 2006 with scholarships already on their resumes, picking the cream of the crop in the Lone Star State is always a daunting task. That's why there is always plenty of debate when Rivals.com releases its preseason Texas Top 100 list.
But it's Texas, so the debate between the local teams is always heated. And with an elite crop of three five-star prospects and plenty of other blue-chippers in the Lone Star State this season there is plenty of big and better talent to discuss.With signing day still a long eight months away, the Texas Longhorns and Mack Brown have raced out of the gates and look on track to possibly eclipse their amazing run in 2002. Vincent Young highlighted that class, which included six five-star prospects and 15 four-star players.UT already has commitments from five-star players Sergio Kindle, ranked as the No. 1 player in the state, and Eddie Jones, who is No. 3. The Horns also have pledges from top 25 players in running back Emmanuel Moody, offensive tackle J'Marcus Webb, cornerback Deon Beasley, receiver Phillip Payne and running back Vondrell McGee.In all the Horns have commitments from 16 of the top 50 players in Texas.
