Big Picture: What recruits will sign and who returns for Texas?

Let’s take a look at what could happen for Texas over the next year.

The Texas Longhorns have had their fair share of frustration through ten games in 2022. The team has a record of 6-4, but that’s not really the issue.

Texas isn’t winning and losing like they expected to win or lose. The Longhorns fell to No. 4 TCU 17-10 on Saturday with little to no offensive production. Recent performances leave some wondering whether or not Texas has its answer at quarterback.

In reality, the Longhorns have a chance to improve their win total by three games from last season against beatable opponents. More important than where the program is now is the direction it is headed. There’s plenty of evidence that the program is heading in the right direction.

Let’s take a look at what could happen for Texas over the next year.

Where Texas’ 2023 recruiting class would rank with Colton Vasek and Anthony Hill

Steve Sarkisian’s 2023 class would skyrocket should Hill and Vasek choose the Longhorns.

Texas is making waves in recruiting following a huge win over then No. 13 Kansas State. Two premier recruiting targets could be on their way to the Forty Acres.

Multiple crystal ball predictions entered on Monday have Colton Vasek and Anthony Hill Jr headed to the Longhorns. Both players were seen as huge losses when they committed to each of Texas’ top rivals. Lately, they are set to spurn both Oklahoma and Texas A&M.

Vasek, a Texas legacy and elite pass rusher from Austin, first looked to be leaving the Sooners when he took a visit to the Texas game against Iowa State. Some scoffed at the possibility he would choose the Longhorns, but it looks like they could be his No. 1 school presently.

Some have flirted with the idea that Hill would flip from the Aggies for a couple weeks. Now that he has decommitted, the Texas Longhorns are back in the hunt for another top class.

Let’s look at where Steve Sarkisian’s 2023 class would rank in the 247Sports recruiting rankings should Hill and Vasek choose the Longhorns.
