  1. I think Duvernay is the most underrated player on the team.  41 catches, 546 yards, 4 TDs and a hell of a lot of 3rd down conversions.  If you're getting that from your third option, you're in a great spot.

    As great as Beck was in the running game, I think one thing that held back the offense a bit last year was a TE that could take advantage of the amount of attention Johnson and LJH draw.  Hopefully Brewer or Leitao can add something there.

    EJ is claiming on the twatter that he had DeMarvin Leal as a 5* before anyone, and is now claiming he had Broughton as a 5* before anyone else

    This fucking guy 

    To be fair, he was defending himself against an Aggie fan that thought it was ridiculous to suggest Broughton was on the same level as Leal.  EJ said he liked Leal a lot, but he also likes Broughton.

    There seems to be a real chance for this to be a class that has no fluff and just a ton of 4 and 5 stars.

    Card, Parr, Majors, Cooper, Garth in.  Washington, Collins, Dorbah, Prince, Lindberg, Scott all seem like heavy leans.  Evans feels like a lean even though we won't know for almost a year.  Then Ringo, Broughton, Jackson, Thompson, Flowe, Wilson are all realistic to hopeful.

    It seems realistic that this class could be better overall than the past two even if it doesn't score as high.

    I feel like 2020 WRs could end up a lot like 2019 DBs where the amount of talent on campus encourages the top in state guys to go elsewhere.

    I almost don't blame them.  Bru McCoy, Josh Moore, Brennan Eagles, Jordan Whittington, Jake Smith and Mookie Cooper makes six top 100 composite receivers to compete against.  Not to mention Washington, Woodard and Lewis.

    It's a nice problem to have.

  5. Watched EJ's Periscope with Chad Lindberg and I come away pretty confident about our chances.  For several reasons:

    -He said playing with guys he likes who are intelligent football players is important to him and talked about how he gets along with the Texas commits.

    -Mentioned that even if he likes Stanford, Texas will still be up at the top.

    -Mentioned, without being asked, that Zach Evans REALLY cares about the O-line he plays with.

    -Loves Hand and flat out said he liked Hand more than the A&M O-line coach.

    -Sort of sounds like the kind of guy who still wants to see schools but is heavily, heavily leaning towards Texas.

    The funny part of all of this is the fact that aggy is ONLY bleating about Evans ranking because they are insecure shitheads and they know he is not giving their shitty school the time of day. 

    This is the important part to focus on.  I'm just saying we don't need to do the same with Demas in response to their delusion.

    Demas is clearly an elite WR talent. It’s pretty obvious. He, nor any WR, is more valuable than an elite RB. Would you rather have college Ricky Williams or college Julio Jones? I don’t know why this thread meandered off the fact that aggy, still butthurt from Texas having a better class in 2019, is now squealing about Evans ranking and they are already conceding him to Texas or The Field. They are the ones talking up Demas to the point of lunacy. 

    Our offense in 2008 compared to 2009 makes Shipley look pretty important.  There are exceptions.  I think I feared Tylon Wallace and Hollywood Brown more than any running back in the big 12 last season.

    Also Donta Foreman is the best running back we've had in a decade and we were pretty bad building an offense around him.

  8. I think the Demas talk is ironically going in a very aggy direction here.

    He's a great prospect.  We would love to have him.  He's a better overall prospect than Shepherd.  Evans is a really good prospect too.

    If he was committed to us we would be comparing him to the AJ Green types simply because of his body type and 5 star status.  It happens.

  9. I think 5 of the top 10 guys on 247s list from 2016 are already about to be 1st round picks. Maybe more.

    We can do this dance a thousand times, but the recruiting rankings, while imperfect, are a good indicator of talent.  Using exceptions to disprove this misses the point.

    Which time?

    We went 1-1 against him and got a couple of hard licks in. 

    We're talking about grading a QB right now, not an overall team.  He had over 300 yards passing and 90 yards rushing in game 1.  His team put up 45 points.  He had 379 yards passing in game 2.  His team put up 39 points.

    I'm just saying he's dangerous in the pocket.

    All that matters is the W column. Fuck this clown.

    And future Wins as well.  Which are more likely when you are able to rest your starters late in games.  Or build depth by getting younger guys playing time.  And keeping younger players happy as they see the field more and don't decide to transfer, leading to more "W column" additions later on.

    Blowing teams out is a good thing.  We knew 2005 Texas was better than 2009 Texas well before the championship game.

    His game is escaping the pocket and running when he can't find an open receiver. He will get hit and hit hard doing that in the NFL. It happened to Vince and Colt, and both of them are much bigger/thicker than Murray is. 

    Texas' gameplan against him was to keep him in the pocket by essentially telling our pass rushers to sit back and wait for him.  It did not work.

    This is how you fix this (in my opinion) 

    Once a kid commits to a a school, the school puts kid into a database. Isn’t a public database so kids can keep their silent commitments and be able to make their videos. 

    Once a kid signs with a school, he has to stay for a minimum of 2 years (6 semesters). At that point, he is allowed 1 restriction free transfer with immediate eligibility.  The kicker is the kid only gets to have this transfer if he hasn’t decommitted during the recruitment process (thus the database).  Would control transferring to just RS sophomores, juniors and seniors and would control the 15 decommitment kids (Hello Jordan Elliott). 

    Graduate Transfer rules stay the same.

     

    *Yes this means we wouldn’t have gotten Bru, but I’m looking at an overall fix. 

    You can require them to stay 6 semesters in order to transfer and immediately be eligible, but you can't make them stay 6 semesters in general.  Kids still deserve the option to sit out a year if they're unhappy or have issues.

    So it's possible we still get McCoy under that rule if he really is okay with sitting out a year instead of staying at USC.

    Well we're going to see what it's like with just Powell and Maxi as our only real bigs for the rest of the year(Dirk can't play enough to really be counted, particularly on Defense). So we'll see.

     

    I'm not sure KP is a true defensive shut down defender.  He'll block shots for sure.

    Also, I think part of the Mavs plan to keep KP healthy is to allow him to play like Dirk did where he's not having to grind in the paint by himself or anchor the team as the rebounding presence.  I think they want someone else to come in and take the bumps and bruises and free up KP to be a pick and roll/pick and pop player who helps out to block shots.
