I don't see Josh Moore coming back. He was on the sidelines last night. Doesn't mean he's coming back, but if he was definitely gone I don't think he would've been there at all.

Excellent point. Forgot about him. Definitely flashed and has a ton of upside.

He definitely called a nice game and the players absolutely balled out for him. Long term, we need to get the best of the best in terms of the position coaches and don't need to settle for status quo.

Eagles, Jake Smith, Marcus Washington, Alvonte Woodard and potentially Josh Moore on the roster. Epps needs to go to TE. Troy Omeire and D. Harrison on the way. Losing Q. Johnston was a major blow and we definitely need another for 2020.

Consensus appears to be: DT, LB and DB on defense; WR and TE on offense. Ash and Giles currently in place on defense; Yurcich, Hand and Drayton in place on offense.

He's made some really odd choices on OV dates.

And Bennie Wiley replaced him at OU. A win-win for Texas fans.

Juwan Mitchell appears to have been a fantastic eval at this point. Might end up being our best LB outside of Ossai by seasons end.

No problems with athletes being confident in their abilities. But it's customary to prove those abilities on the field before running off at the mouth. In general, there's a whole lotta bravado coming from LSU players, fans and media going into this game. On paper, LSU is about a year ahead of Texas in terms stacking the roster with talent and having upperclassmen starting across the board. LSU is favored and all that. Perhaps that's where all this is coming from. But, if there's some thought LSU is gonna walk in here and just dominate a game against this Texas program it's misplaced. Those with this thought might want to do some research. Herman coaches a tough, very physical team and they don't get blown out. LSU may very well win the game, but it's very likely to go the distance and be up for grabs late in the game. Those types of games usually come down to two things: Conditioning and QB play. I'm sure LSU is well-conditioned. I know we are. This leaves QB play late in the game. Which QB would you rather have with the game on the line?

Chaisson is all potential at this point. Dude has 37 total tackles and 3 sacks for his collegiate career. A ton of talent, but that's a whole lotta talking for someone who hasn't proven anything at this level just yet.

He really should've come back for his senior season to refine his game. Pretty clear at this point the coaching his first two years under the Strong regime was subpar. Another year under TO might've helped him go higher in the draft and stick longer in the league. Pulling for him to get picked up elsewhere.

Definitely doctor talk... traveling is mainstream these days

Agreed. I've been wondering for awhile if they'd consider this move given the struggles he's had with his throwing motion. Thompson, Jackson, Card and Milroe already in the pipeline will be tough competition to get on the field as a QB.

No, it centered on his transfer from North Forrest to Tomball. Basically, the UIL didn't think it was legit in terms of athletics so they ruled him ineligible. Don't think he'll see the field in football in Texas this year w/o transferring back, which he says he won't do.

Demas denied eligibility at Tomball. Unanimous 6-0 vote.

Friday will definitely be telling.

...

Very solid addition. Nice little DB class we're stringing together at this point.

Appreciate the reset. What's the consensus on the timing of Eaton's announcement?

They were considered the primary competition, right? If so, might be the most definitive sign yet.

Fills the slot Mookie left open. Hope he hops on board.

Any word on the timing for J. Thompson's announcement?

Yep and that's likely about where we'll end up when it's all said and done. Not a big enough class to jump into the top 5 without some seriously good fortune. We'd need guys like Ringo and Wilson to end up in the class, which doesn't seem likely at this point.

Posted this in the '20 thread, but three within roughly the last hour. You'd have to think something's breaking with his recruitment.

Same. Watch his HUDL and then put on Q. Johnston's and there's a pretty big difference in athleticism. From a class composite standpoint, it's a nice addition. So, there's that and hoping the staff has the eval pegged.
