Gold Level

Level Definition: National Top 100-200. Possibly on the cusp of super blue chip status, but perhaps there’s just one thing holding them back. This is possible no man’s land for the Longhorns. Has to be good enough that you can justify paying a hefty-sized price.

Bronze Level

Level Definition: Everyone Else. I just can’t in good faith have you guys worrying about anyone below this line at this point. Even if they commit to the Longhorns, will they still sign in December if a Max Wright situation pops up? Consider these state Top 50-Top 200 types. Texas will sign 5 or 6 of these guys when the dust settles, but they will be long-term projects that are at least 2-3 years away.
