Aggy coaches spent the entire year telling recruits that Texas was all hype and that they would have a top 2 class while we had few commits. We then finish ranked in the top 10 beating two top 5 teams. We follow that up with picking up elite national players and finish again with a top 3 class. Glad the coaches are celebrating this. Fuck aggy. Those guys have always been all talk. They're a fucking mid tier program that has never won shit. They will always continue to be shit. Jimbo is going to run that program to the ground just like he did at FSU.

Lol

Certainly wasn't Jimbo's choice when Candi was doing some in-homes.

Oh damn Shep just got his 5th star

Mods can we please get rid of replies like this^ that carry no substance in relation to 2019 recruiting?

Jimbo is such a fucking BOSS. He's about to replace the best OL coach in the business with the BEST OL COACH IN THE BUSINESS.

They should build the wall out of Hilary's emails. Many people seem to have a hard time getting over them.

It bottles the mind why anyone would want to play for a parental loser. I am uphauled.

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave.

You really ought to be more respectful. They're your parents, after all.

Dude, he has one.

The purpose of this thread is to occasionally take a look at Herman's 2017 class in a lite manner as time passes. Full post mortems on each class after the 5th year from their signing would be worthy of its own thread for each year, in my mind, but we're years away from that. So how are things progressing with Herman's recruiting and depth chart stacking (or lack thereof, if applicable)? Taking a look at 2017: Texas signed 17 guys that actually showed up to participate as part of the team. It's been two years since that day, as I type this. Starters (Obvious forward projections included, past starters who have left early due to bad attrition or benched and beaten on the depth chart are not included) Ehlinger, T Graham, Gary Johnson, Kerstetter, Cosmi Contributors (productive guys yet to consistently start who don't project to start yet going forward) Thompson, Bimage, Boyce, D Young, Brewer, Chisholm Depth (guys on the roster who haven't seen much or any time on the field yet) Estell, Leitao, Pouncey, Cummins Attrition T Carter, Josh Rowland Summary: Of the 17 enrollees in Herman’s transition class, 5 guys have either started many games or project comfortably to do so. Thompson could be argued as a guy that should be added to this list and the count should be 6, but I think Overshown will push him off the field, even if they’re not going to play the same role. Of those 5 starters, one looks like a star in Ehlinger (I’ve been touting this young man as a genius for years, personally), one was a star in GaJo, and Kerstetter and Cosmi could project as early draft picks if they develop strength and continue to progress. Graham looks like a prohibitive favorite to start in 2019 and he’s looked good when healthy and in the DL rotation. The contributors group isn’t particularly strong, but they’re somewhat productive and promising. They’re fine as competent support being developed within the program. The depth guys might as well all be labeled “Future Attrition” for the 2017 class, but they haven’t left yet. Maybe Estell gets healthy enough to take a stab at living up to his recruiting ranking and billing. As far as attrition goes, fuck Toneil Carter for being a whiny bitch and not taking advantage of the opportunities in front of him. Rowland started as a stop gap but was terrible and has justifiably left for other opportunities after doing nothing in 2018. The 2017 class has performed better than most expected as the 25th ranked class nationally. The starters look great and the supporting guys have been critical to building the program back up. Attrition hasn’t been as gruesome as is often feared with these kinds of classes and there’s reason to be optimistic that almost half of these guys could wind up as starters during their time on campus. Thoughts?

We moved completely over to a new site faster than this.

Dear "The Mods":

Yeah, but we didn't really want to be there.

This might help:

Pretty sure selling Xanax makes him the de facto sleeper candidate in the class.

In his defense, you're expecting someone from Louisiana to count to 10, and typically, they can only count to the number of fingers they have.

Because they're delusional fuckshits.

I don't know about anyone else, but I had this one the whole way. Me and FWK nailed it. Right.

Real talk, though, have you guys ever noticed how much Bru McCoy looks like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? See also:

I don't really care who Burton thinks are the sleepers in the class, I want to know which guy he thinks is the worst take that we shouldn't have offered a scholarship. That way I know who's going to declare early for the draft after kicking ass at Texas.

He was sitting in the left lane with his hazards on at 4am but you went with being “black.” Solid breakdown dickhead.

The only Dem I love is Dem Tittays!

Guys, why were we even worried in the first place???

I gotchu @Lerka Lerka

I hope you had fun with Mssrs. Rauff and Roschmann. Must've been depressing when Eichmann had to leave the party.

You must watch a lot of Grey’s Anatomy.

I know you’ll all be relieved to know the caped blazer has been identified! It’s by Zara, it’s an affordable $85, and it will be arriving at my home in 3-4 business days.

Too bad he wasn’t old enough to ride on Challenger.

as he was leaving the jail he said, "I'll be baaaack"
