He didn't go there to play WR. If he's got to play WR or DB, he might as well do it somewhere else like tOSU. They may have Matthew Baldwin's scholly available.

My money is on Duggan to start by the end of the season. Probably by the Iowa State game.

I would take any P5 schools we could talk into switching conferences in order to get to 12 and have real divisions. Mizzou, Arky, Nebraska, CU, ASU, AZ, FSU, Ga Tech . . . pretty much anybody but Wake.

They wouldn't play TCU during our period in the wilderness either. UT, Tech, Baylor and OU all scheduled regular season games with TCU between 1998 and 2012 but A&M refused. We did get a shot against them in the infamous GalleryFurniture.com Bowl but nutcase Casey Printers threw a half-dozen interceptions on his way out of town to transfer to FAMU. They would never play us in the regular season though. Unfortunately for them, they didn't get a choice in the NCAA baseball playoffs and we ended their season 3 or 4 times.

Hopefully it's another Boykin-like transformation.

We still have Max Duggan and Matthew Baldwin though. That's not a bad QB room with the veteran Delton. Duggan was rated about equal to Robinson and Baldwin wasn't far behind. Rogers foot still has a chance to come around too. Duggan is the one to keep an eye on in my opinion. The kid was a 4 year starter in high school. He's got speed (4.58 at the opening, 22.02 200M) and arm strength. Some insiders are saying he's got the strongest arm of any QB we've had since Boykin. He might be our Brock Purdy.

He wasn't going to be a full-time player but it still sucks. GP said the other day that they were going to limit him to 15-20 snaps a game because of his injury history. Sounds to me like he was going to try to give it a go his senior season but the injury bug bit again or he decided playing through the pain ain't worth it. The kid had NFL potential but has been snake bit by injuries since he started 6-7 games as a true freshman. What's even worse is that Ben Wilson, the soph who was the primary back up to both LB's got injured last week and is out until October. Looks like we're moving another safety to LB. It's worked before but it would nice for one season to have a pair of LB's like Tanner Brock and Tank Carder or Daryl Washington and David Hawthorne again.

TCU is done at RB as long as Dominic Richardson sticks. I'm not sure Jordan was ever a big priority.

We had a shit ton of injuries last season and still managed to finish 7-6. Breaking in a new QB who thought he didn't have to study film was another problem. But a lot of it was on the O-line too. We graduated 4 O-linemen from the '17 team who made NFL rosters and replaced them with some freshmen and two 5th year seniors who had hardly ever played. The O-line didn't really start playing well until the last two games of the season. This year, we return multi-game starters at every position including a potential early round draft pick right tackle. The line was a huge problem last season but should be a strength this season.

Not really. He was good return guy but never caught more than a handful of passes and transferred after two seasons.

I think TCU is going to surprise some people. Patterson has never had two down seasons in a row. Every season he's had where he's been .500 or worse, he has followed up with a 10 win or more season. Every damn time. The defense will be outstanding, the O-line will be better than last season and we will find a QB good enough for the Frogs to finish in the top 3 in the conference.

Yeah but Turp never played QB and this kid is 6' and 180 lbs., not 5'8" 160. More like Reagor's size. If this kid were playing WR at a 6A high school in Texas where they throw the ball around, he would probably be a 4*

TCU got a commit from Jimmy Holiday, ATH from Mississippi. Plays QB in high school but probably a WR. Offers from Ole Miss, Miss St, and Tenn. Kinda pumped about this guy because his testing at the Opening was damn good. 4.38 in the 40 and 4.4 shuttle. Ran for 1,500 yds last season and passed for another 1,500 yds.

The word on the 247 site is that Delton was the front runner after the spring but that Duggan is coming on strong. However, you've got to remember that Collins was out in the spring due to his lis franc fracture from the Baylor game. He just got cleared for full activities early this summer. I'm in the minority but I like his chances better than Delton. Collins was lights out when he came in against OU until he cut his throwing hand in a freak accident on the sidelines. I think we scored on 4 of his first 5 drives and he had two long TD passes and another 50 yard bomb that put us in FG position. Those drives were the best quarterbacking we had the entire season. While he had some pretty mediocre games later on, I think that his ability to go vertical and avoid turnovers at the same time fit what we need in the offense. Give the guy a better O-line and a sold running game and I think he can do some damage. Duggan might still be the future but I would put money on GP going with the more experienced and safer option over a true freshman given the potential of this team. We've got 3 senior starters on the O-line and 5-6 guys with significant starting experience there, two good senior RB's, one more year of Reagor before he goes pro (probably the same for Blacklock), and a stacked defense. I have a hard time believing someone as conservative as GP is going to give a true freshman the keys to the car over a 4th year junior when he has a team that could contend for a conference title. I know people are marking TCU down as a 7-5 or 8-4 team this season but really think that 9-3 or 10-2 is more likely because I think the defense will be that good and because GP's teams always bounce back for double digit wins after a bad season.

Our east side expansion may not be done on time but it looks like we're going to have beer.

Gotta be a Samoan who did that. I just don't know which one.

He got a Baylor offer yesterday and committed to the Frogs today. He's got the lingo down with how he says "blessed"

TCU's first 2021 recruit is . . . a QB from Germany. The kid is a physical freak: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2844066-if-you-were-to-build-a-quarterback-this-is-what-it-would-look-like

Unless the person hiring is a Tech grad. More likely that than a Bama grad in DFW.

OU I understand but I know a fair number of Texas kids who have gone off to Bama, Auburn and Ole Miss and come back home. There is a bit of culture shock for kids raised in DFW. I have a friend whose kid is at Ole Miss and likes it but he said he heard the N word with the hard R more times in one semester than he had heard in his entire life before leaving Texas. I have another friend whose kid is mixed race and lasted one semester before he bolted and came back to Texas. I think a lot of the Texas kids who go off to the SEC schools would actually be a lot happier at Tech if they could get over how ugly Lubbock is. The Tech campus is nice and a Tech degree is probably better for job prospects in Texas than an Ole Miss or Bama degree.

I can't believe I didn't hear about the guys who put the noose on the James Meridith statute back when that happened. For the life of me, I don't understand why Texas kids choose to go to school in that backwards ass place.

Ole Miss is having a really bad week, first the girl murdered by the douchebag from Fort Worth and now this: https://www.propublica.org/article/ole-miss-students-pose-with-guns-in-front-of-shot-up-emmett-till-memorial
