  1. Don't we need to change the narrative a bit now that Fong is at On3? /s
  2. Spoilered text from the tweet. Poster is a UF booster so probably some bias
  3. My god people, Burt said his evals for lower ranked guys are an open question. And he acknowledged Cam is going to start this year and that will probably answer the question. Huston/Robertson/Agbo played poorly or in niche roles - which is perfectly fine given youth and what was asked of them. Jones isn't a Flood eval. It's fair to say this is a question. It's not a concern, just a question.
  4. "few months" -> "12 months" -> 2 years ago If you're going to keep arguing on this, would you mind providing a consistent opinion? Bo came in with a great reputation as a recruiter (deservedly so) and people were happy with the '22 class. In the last 12/few/whatever time frame you want to set, the consensus changed as we signed bad classes.
  5. Here's what I remember from the classes 2022: Bledsoe, Ross, Bryant, Swanson - Amidst 5-7, we had bigger issues to worry about than recruiting, but it was a good class overall. DE was the bigger issue because we still had DT talent on campus. Bledsoe and Ross were good developmental takes, Bryant set a good floor, Swanson was questionable. A- 2023: Mitchell - Mitchell was a good get, but we needed more than one. Bo caught a lot of criticism for missing on DJ Hicks and guys like Markis Deal. It wasn't a great DT class but everyone knew the class was too small. C+ 2024: Hills, January, Robinson - We knew coming into the year that we needed a big class and it had to have a couple studs. January and Hills are fine, but we had advantages in those recruitments. Robinson was great, but we needed another stud to pair with him. Bo caught a LOT of of flack for missing on McKinley, Jonah-Ajonye, Jackson, Smith, Blocton, Faga, Hibbler, and Lindsey. A bunch of those weren't even his fault, but we all knew the class wasn't good enough after only taking one in '23. C+ Point is, the consensus was definitely not that Bo was knocking it out of the park with underrated gems. Yes, people said he had good evals, but also that DT was the worst-recruited position on the roster. There's also been discussion about the changing recruiting landscape. A lot of the misses were NIL choices/whiffs. Even this portal cycle there has been talk about how resources were reallocated towards DT.
  6. Looking at Cole's profile, he played his first year at Cal Poly (FCS), then San Jose State (G5), and now maybe the SEC (P4). As much as the portal sucks and can cause chaos, this is the kind of career movement that had previously, and wrongly, been outlawed.
  7. CJ/OTF: Texas will host San Jose State CB Jayvion Cole for a visit Thursday he confirms with OTF. Cole tells me the trip to Austin will be his first visit since entering the portal Monday afternoon. Auburn is another team that is expected to receive a visit, though no date has been set at the moment. Cole also mentioned he is unsure if he will visit Michigan State, despite receiving an offer from the Spartans this morning. Cole saw 672 snaps last year for SJSU where he allowed 22 receptions on 48 targets for a 45.8% completion percentage. The 5-foot-11 cornerback also hauled in three interceptions and allowed just one touchdown on the season.
  8. Elko seems to have overcorrected from Jimbo's cube approach by only taking 270lb guys, though I imagine that's actually just a result of A&M not having a competitive pitch in recruiting right now.
  9. Here are Alex Dunlap's deep digs for the spring game Offense Defense I like the OL notes and the commentary on Terrance Brooks, which was written before he entered the portal.
  10. Second comment to add this blurb from their FAQ
  11. Wait, I never knew that their collective is run by/through TexAgs, but it's true. That's incredible. And the part about all the people Liucci bans not being able to contribute is hilarious.
  12. Ahh, I was not aware and that makes sense. He does have like the 5th best throw all-time at A&M so he's not a scrub, just not excelling nationally.
  13. As best I can tell, Davis entered the portal in January with a do-not-contact tag, but has never released a top schools list or anything. I'm not even sure he's taken visits. He practiced with the team during the spring but there hasn't been any news that he withdrew from the portal. PFF has him as the #4 returning corner in the country, two spots above Jabbar Muhammad.
  14. I don't pretend to know anything about shot put or discus but according to Foster's T&F bio, he threw 71'1" (21.7 meters) as a senior in high school. Gatorade player of the year and #1 prospect in the country. His best throw at A&M was 64'9" (19.7m) to make NCAA championship honorable mention in 2022. It makes sense he would stall out by trying to play both sports, but that still seems kinda brutal. At least John Burt was winning conference championships and All-American awards in track.
  15. Worth remembering that Joseph and Gideon are among the coaches whose contracts will expire in February next year (Choice and Milwee being the others).
  16. he was saying that your Red take is obvious Edit: I think. Or maybe not. Maybe there's other context
  17. Alright well I went ahead and subbed to OTF @immamac their premium posts are showing on the home page feed but not on the individual forums like football and 9.95 also if there could be a way to get back to surly from OTF that would be dope but I can see why that might be a nonstarter. Maybe a header button that only shows up for treefiddy members?
  18. Not to nitpick but Bledsoe is a third year now
  19. To this point, yesterday I was thinking about how the current DT group could compare to recent years. Sure they won't match last year, but could they match the 2022 rotation of Coburn/Ojomo and younger Sweat/Murphy? I think so. And I think that would be perfectly adequate. ETA this is counting on someone like Bill Norton joining and being an acceptable nose.
  20. Gotcha. Wasn't sure how it worked but that's good to know.
  21. I listen on apple podcasts and the ads are insane there too, but they're uploading the audio without any ads except for their sponsored reads? I don't notice randomly interjected ads on other pods I listen to
  22. Personally, I'd be more likely to go get a premium OTF sub if the paid articles were on the feed because I'd be able to access them from here without going to a separate site
  23. In NOLA for the sugar bowl this past year I ordered an Uber and he had a pistol just sitting in the front passenger seat. Don’t know what make/model/whatever. Panicked for like a split second then just nudged it over to get in and he was like oh whoops and put it away. Normal ride otherwise and can’t say I blame the guy driving around NOLA on new years
  24. Will the premium links continue to show up in the feed on the side of the page?
