If you go back across the last decade you'll probably find that Arkansas, Mississippi State and Ole Miss all recruit within about 3-5 spots of each other on average (outside of the Freeze years where Ole Miss was obviously cheating). We don't recruit Missouri or Oklahoma a whole lot to begin with (though Pittman is putting more emphasis on Oklahoma and having more success) but our main problem has been coaching. Sure our talent isn't Alabama level, but we've had the same number of players drafted as Florida State in the last 5 years. Just 3 fewer than USC and Wisconsin and 25th nationally. We easily have the worst record among the top 25 during that time span as well.
I do think that moving to the SEC from the SWC hurt our Texas recruiting but statistically A&M coming into the conference has had very little impact on it at all.

Now do the 1995-2011 period when you were the good in the SEC and won the division 4 times. That you have recruited shitty in Texas since 2011 is my point...
Players like Clint Stoner, Fred Talley, Caleb Miller, dacori Birmingham, Jason Peters...
