TCU Recruiting: An Uptick

Last week I wrote about how gut wrenching it was to watch to commits flip to Texas, and then watch a homegrown hogmollie march off to Minnesota. Watching us lose recruits was similar to taking one in the shorts, over and over again.

Oh what a difference a week and a half makes.

Since I wrote my piece last week, which I believe caught the eye of Gary Patterson (sorry, Gary), TCU has added several big assets to the recruiting class of 2014.

Here's how the class of 2014 currently breaks down (courtesy of HornedFrogBlitz.com):

Pos	Nat'l Rank	Nat'l Rating	Name School, Hometown	HT/ WT/ 40	Commit Date
OG	JC	NR	Frank Kee (Tyler) Tyler, TX	6-4/345/5.20	06/26/2013
CB	81		Nick Orr (De Soto HS) Desoto, TX	5-10/166/4.45	06/24/2013
DE	NR		Jarrell Owens (Palestine HS) Palestine, TX	6-3/240/4.66	06/18/2013
OT	43		Austin Schlottmann (Brenham HS) Brenham, TX	6-5/285/5.10	06/13/2013
QB	16		Foster Sawyer (All Saints' Episcopal School) Fort Worth, TX	6-5/215/4.85	04/11/2013
QB	30		Grayson Muehlstein (Decatur HS) Decatur, TX	6-4/205/4.54	02/25/2013
DT	17		Zaycoven Henderson (Longview HS) Longview, TX	6-3/287/4.88	02/24/2013
CB	42		Nick Foster (Fossil Ridge HS) Keller, TX	5-11/175/4.42	02/03/2013

The latest additions of Nick Orr and Frank Kee are especially huge.

Nick Orr, a cornerback from Desoto, committed to TCU on Monday, choosing the Horned Frogs over Baylor, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State. Orr is expected to play safety at the next level, and a lot of people are hinting that he could be the next Elisha Olabode.

JUCO OG Frank Kee committed to the Frogs on Wednesday, and is rated the #1 JUCO OG in the country. Kee was recruited by TCU in high school, but didn't qualify academically. He's finishing his time at Tyler JC this fall, and will be on campus in the spring. Kee committed to the Frogs over Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Baylor and Oklahoma State.
