  1. He'll be a decent enough recruiter, and will coach the fuck out of college OL. I wouldn't even interview him, just bring him on.
  2. He didn't say the NFL doesn't want them, he said they're rare ("unicorns").
  3. There are definitely those. I was basically the swing tackle in HS, doing both, so I wouldn't know how it feels being at one for so long and then switching. I was better at pass-blocking at RT, but handled LT fine. You will see a lot of college LTs switch to RT or swing in the NFL.
  4. Luckily I've never tried wiping with my opposite hand, but I can imagine that's a proper analogy, especially when it comes to your normal outside pass blocking. You'll probably get into your sets slower, and with much poorer form when you get there. You have to shift your weight to the opposite foot etc... It'll take a lot of reps to get used to.
  5. as @Zhorn96 points out, he's upgrading the whole time. What's the next stop after WR at Texas, power 5 OC? Does he get that chance in '23? We'll see.
  6. random grainy night-vision videos of men being wow'd by what sounds like something hitting a tree with a stick is proof enough for me.
  7. I mean that was the key block on the play. It does appear the defenders are avoiding going after the carrier, though.
  8. Well a lot of the time you're not ONLY dealing with Evan Ste.. errr.. the recruit themselves, but also a father, or uncle, maybe mom, and/or a trainer. You're not leaving it all on the kid, so you're bettering your odds of loyalty there by involving the adults (handlers). Now obviously the transfer portal will make reneging a lot easier. Though NIL is here, I still see the recruiting bag game being utilized for the time being, though not as widespread as it is now and no doubt less effective. What's almost for sure going to die off is the on-campus game. Bags haven't just stopped when the kids sign. They'll still need the new Playstation/TV/iPhone while they're playing for your team. But now they can buy that after making a public appearance.
  9. Or of any of the other fast, successful 6'3 210-types who should not all be lumped in with Herman because it's the laziest take we could find.
  10. Personally I'm only like 83% with you, so getting a whole 1000% from someone else is pretty huge for you.
  11. Not really. Two completely different positions, and he could simply feel better about one's chances over the others. I mean, how many kids do you see come into this program that aren't projects to begin with? Whether it's one year, or two+ years? He's ranking them based on what type of impact he thinks they'll make as Longhorns, it doesn't really have to make perfect sense to any of us.
  12. As I was saying in an earlier reply to you, that's just not where Sark's is at this stage of his career. His greatest value to the program right now IS HIS offense. He'd have to grow, put some skins on the wall and have this program firing like a top 4-5 program should before plug-and-playing OCs to run offenses he's cool with. It's not that I think he can't (or can), it's just that he's not there today.
  13. I guess I just don't see them being as comparable as you guys do. That's fine, I guess.
