  1. I don't understand this. College sports are already a place where the elite athletes only go to a handful of schools. If anything, this new system would give other schools a chance to compete, albeit temporarily. I thought Russilo did a good job on his podcast laying out how schools would probably go nuts for a few years and then realize it's a waste of money with little return on investment. Especially with the transfer portal.
  2. They had two real NFL players and now they don't. They look talentless.
  3. And also joked about A&M having future recruiting success because "let's just say they have a lot of resources (laughs)." Aggie recruiting cheating has gone national.
  4. I've seen all state guys end up at Arkansas Tech. Finishing all district doesn't mean a guy has a decent chance of going smaller D1. 247 is probably your best bet. They track pretty much anyone close to getting a D1 offer. If someone isn't on there by their senior year, they likely aren't going D1.
  5. http://www.hudl.com/v/2BqMLa Low 3 star guy from FW committed to Missouri. First four game highlight looks like a full senior season highlight reel. Reminds me a bit of Chris Warren but with a better juke move.
  6. I sort of doubt that Demas and Jones are asking to be a part of the UT class. Not sure who else was at camps, but those two seem pretty locked in.
  7. Ringo is probably the first recruit since Jamaal Charles that Texas could honestly say, "you might be the difference between us winning a national championship or not your freshman year," to with a straight face. I don't think anyone from the 2008 or 2009 classes fit that description. Maybe Alex Okafor. Edit: dammit. Robinson too actually
  8. I want to say my biggest complaint with Orlando from last night was his inability to adjust to Sanders running. It was like he'd never seen that before. They would pull a lineman to lead block for Sanders and it was 10 yards every time. On the other hand, his priorities were stopping Hubbard and Wallace, so you have to give up something. Overall, good game plan. Not confident about our ability to stop Hurts in a few weeks though.
  9. Keep in mind Jake Smith slid to catch a punt previously this year. The fact that two different guys made the same stupid move weeks apart probably means they've done drills doing that. It's absurd.
  10. Sanders looks like a character from Narnia. Not a good look.
  11. One timeout with time for 2 plays a field goal. Passing was the right call.
  12. I'm not sure that Cumbie is a good QB developer. Their QB room has been a mess since Boykin left, and a run-heavy team is the one kind of team that Texas might be able to slow down.
  13. Obviously there aren't too many positives to take away from an ass whooping like that. However, LSU's inability to establish the run game against a lower tier team combined with Texas' ability to shut down the run against LA Tech could be encouraging combinations. LSU averaged 3.7 yards per carry and it wasn't all from when they put backups in and took the foot of the pedal. There were plenty of times in the first half they got stuffed or hit in the backfield. On the other hand... the passing game looked really good and I expect Burrow to be able to pick on Boyce/Cook/Jamison.
  14. The defense totally shut down their run game to the point that LA Tech had to completely abandon it. I don't think our Dline is going to be good at getting pressure (the lbs and dbs will do that) but they were beyond solid at stopping a run game with only 4 or 5 guys in the box. Adeoye looked faster than I expected as well.
  15. Ash either has a really old son or really young brother.
  16. It's important to remember how vanilla the offense truly looked and how good the vanilla results were. I highly doubt we're throwing 12 WR screens next week. We'll see more qb RPOs where Ehlinger has the option to run. We'll see more throws down field. The offense barely looked like they were trying and they did well. And while La Tech's corners aren't LSU's or in that same class, they have some guys who will likely be in the NFL.
  17. Jake Smith gonna be forced into RB duty next week?
  18. Part of me wonders if the Okafor/Boyce "starter" talk was to keep them happy and out of the portal.
  19. Iowa State seems to get much better as the season progresses under Campbell, but the amount of hype they got after losing their best skill guys seems even more ridiculous now.
  20. What are the UIL rules on playing a guy in a JV game and then suiting them up for a Varsity game the next day? Are you allowed to play a guy in two different games the same week?
  21. I think 3 things are true: 1. Charlie Strong is a terrible coach who squandered an excellent inherited roster from Taggart 2. Jimbo is a lazy coach who left behind a roster full of holes fro Taggart 3. Taggart is a good coach and will turn around FSU soon.
  22. Well Fields is fast. I was always glad that Georgia never figured out how (or chose not) to use him.
