    I think we are going to see the downside of this rule for the next couple of seasons. Some redshirting players are going to expect they will get to play in 3 or 4 games, especially if the coaches promised it. We played down to our opponents, especially late in the season, which made it hard to give snaps to players that aren't likely ready to be on the field with the game in doubt. 

    I wonder what the statistics look like across the P5 on using the 4-game window. I bet teams that teams who use it liberally could gain some recruiting advantages over time, especially against team in their own recruiting band. I am not saying Texas or OU is going to lose recruits to Kansas over this, but we could get a leg up over OU or aggy if we show we get our redshirts on the field.

    Fair enough, but the one guy where it's bitten us this year was a QB transitioning to DE. Dude was deluding himself if he thought he was getting any sort of snaps this year.

    Coaches Meet With Freshman Class
    – Will Baizer

    After the unexpected departure of freshman defensive lineman Michael Williams and unrest in the quarterback room, the Longhorns’ staff has decided to be proactive and call a town hall meeting for the freshmen class.

    It was a chance for the freshmen to air their thoughts on the program and any issues they have with staff, playing time, and/or promises they felt were not held up.

    This has happened before, so there isn’t much reason to panic.

    (before anyone asks about the QB piece, there's been rumors Casey Thompson might be a bit grumpy re: where he is in the pecking order)

    You’d think our gaping hole at nickel would be appealing to Catalon. Like, we don’t have one.

    And yeah yeah, South Austin’s mom’s gaping hole is appealing.

    Adimora's probably going to be that dude after Thompson's done.

    Updated Texas Roster Table I think

    any additional changes/edits for guys that are leaving? For some reason I thought I had seen something on Houston and at this point assume Porter is gone

    Houston's just been mentioned in the same articles as Porter as a potential leaver. Let's be honest though, they're both gone and no one will shed a tear when it's official.
