Star system wasn’t so kind to Mack Brown his last few years at Texas. There were reports that he and his staff were using the recruiting website star rankings to identify and offer recruits. They weren’t even evaluating the players they offered. And we all know how that worked out.
This isn’t the first time this has happened. I remember seeing this a couple years ago. Although the schools they claimed to have offers from weren’t so prominent. But the recruiting sites still put him up.
