In fact, with nearly two dozen 3-star prospects committed already, the Cougars are performing better than a handful of notable Power 5 teams. Check out the list provided below (yes, it’s impressive):
25. Arkansas
26. Washington
28. Nebraska
30. Ole Miss
31. USC
33. Virginia Tech
36. Wisconsin
38. Penn State
39. Texas
40. TCU
46. Oregon
56. Stanford
Houston trails Florida (No. 21), Iowa (22), and Michigan State (23) by just a few points.
