The demise of Charlie Strong's recruiting ability has be greatly exaggerated.

The Longhorns started off on fire early on National Signing Day, gaining commitments from several four-star recruits before noon. The new commitments — plus two from the past week — have shot Texas up the recruiting rankings at 247Sports. Just a week ago, the Longhorns ranked No. 35 for the 2016 class, but now they are up to No. 10.
Here are the commits Texas has gotten so far just today:
Brandon Jones, four-star safety, No. 40 overall recruit
Jeffrey McCulloch, four-star linebacker, No. 59 overall recruit
Erick Fowler, four-star linebacker, No. 75 overall recruit
Chris Daniels, four-star defensive tackle, No. 183 overall recruit
Marcel Southall, three-star defensvie tackle, No. 489 overall recruit
Even if Texas does not get any more big commitments today, this is definitely a step up from what they were looking at just a few days ago.
