  1. As I said, I like his social media activity overall. Way better than Coleman. Like the hire in general too. It's not really even a recruiting thing though - some internal stuff should just stay private. Posting those guys' earnings was the main one that made me cringe (remember how Bryce Young's dad supposedly got pissed about Saban publicizing that?). That's private shit that may be ok to show recruits in private but the whole world doesn't need to see. Sure it might help recruiting but that doesn't mean he should post it. Again, I like Marion and today is a good day on that front. Plus this is something that likely wouldn't even be noticed at his previous schools that don't have such magnified attention, so I can understand why he might have some learning to do. But as we know, at Texas all of this shit ends up circulating so requires a bit more discretion.
  2. I like Marion's social media activity but anyone else think he could use a small lesson in what NOT to post? DM'ing randos about recruits, posting current players' earnings... But awesome get on Neyor!
  3. I can seriously see some lackey in HR calling CDC to verify GP's TCU employment LOL
  4. Erick Young from A&M just entered the portal too. Processing day in College Station? If so, nice of Jimbo to wait until late January to give those kids a heads up.
  5. Man that Eric Dickerson article sounds exactly like what CTJ is saying A&M is doing this year. Basically money-whipping a bunch of parents to force their kids to A&M even when the kid wants no part of it
  6. Roach on Neyor lol: "They wanted him. They wouldn't trip him at this point if they weren't interested. All depends on how the visit goes. He has a few voices in his ear."
  7. Hopefully so. Also iirc one rumor was that Dixon struggled to learn the playbook last year so maybe by year 2 he will have had enough time to really learn it.
  8. I think this is pretty spot on. 1-3 in particular. And I have tempered expectations on all three of those. 1. Because Ewers is inexperienced and will play like a Freshman which he basically is, 2. Again, expect Freshmen mistakes combined with some of the jokers from last year, and 3. Bc last year was so ugly and the staff is the same (except GP). Not trying to be negative either because I think #1 and #2 will actually be strengths longer term (late next year or 2023 season). Just a lot of youngsters that will need time to develop.
  9. I'd rather have 2 portal edges than 2 WRs if we had to choose. I think one good portal WR is ok when combined with Worthy, JWhitt when healthy, Billingsley as a TE/WR hybrid, and possible step ups from Dixon and Washington (both of whom should be ok as depth guys imo). Then wild cards like Thompson, Alexis, and Omeire. So your main receiving options would basically be Worthy, JWhitt, Portal guy, and Billingsley, with the rest as backups. I can live with that for sure. Meanwhile at edge we have 2-sack Ovie, out of position Collins, and a bunch of guys who've basically never played (Sorrell being the most notable so far). We have to land Mathis but then you're still starting Ovie and with very little depth. Need 2 there.
  10. Wonder if they'll give Jahleel a week or two off. His season only ended like a week ago..
  11. Not that this is news for any school, but these three guys are all transfers. What a coincidence..
  12. Fair point but also..Bama's bar for him starting should be very different from ours right now. I would gladly take him if he can just be an average performer at that spot this year. Saban doesn't need to settle for average.
  13. Yeah pretty crazy. Not saying I have a clue but even if Moody was a future 3rd round pick he'd be on the bench. If it's true that he was the clear next man up for Bama at LB, then I really like this pickup.
  14. Seems like there are some similarities in the take. Bring in some special teams and culture at minimum. Moody seems like a higher chance of contributing regularly on defense though considering he was 2nd string at Bama and Davis was buried further down iirc.
  15. Moody sounds like a special teams ace, culture builder, and possible although not surefire contributor at LB. I'll take it.
  16. I think we're ok on the interior. Edge is the weakest position on the roster imo (some talent but young and inexperienced). Mathis is an absolute must get. Maybe Sorrel and Ovie take a step forward. Or one of the other young guys shows up ready to go.
  17. Yeah it sure doesn't seem like he signed. OU coaches have been to his bball game two weeks in a row. Interestingly all the recent CBs for him on 247, On3, and Rivals came on 12/11 or 12/13. So I'm guessing he gave us a silent then. Seemed like there were a lot of hints that he might sign NSD 1 at that point but then he said he wasn't going to. So maybe OU convinced him to hold off on signing. My guess is that he's still a silent commit but hasn't signed. Possible counterpoint: has there been any news of our coaches visiting him since NSD 1? If he hasn't signed yet, you'd think they'd still be working hard on that one. Then again, overconfidence...
  18. I don't have it but supposedly 247 is saying GP is officially on board
  19. Agreed. Just because he's losing weight doesn't mean edge. Ojomo weighs 286 per his UT bio. We need some portal edges and then move Collins back to DT.
  20. Ole Miss has crushed it in the portal but wonder what they do if they miss on Dart. QB is wide open there. Maybe JT Daniels? On a related note I just remembered that Harrison Bailey guy is out there and turns out he committed to UNLV like 45 min ago
  21. Jahleel's twitter likes are...uhh...interesting. A bunch of posts shit-talking him
  22. Curious to see what GP's gameday role will be. Does he take Gideon's spot in the booth next to PK, does he stand on the sideline, or neither?
  23. Idk if schools would typically do an official formal announcement for a hire like GP, but they would typically let the press know and have it reported more openly. Maybe they're just waiting for a better PR time. Agree that they should be getting that news out. Have you met the NCAA? Pretty sure analyst duties are way down the list of issues for them to (not) deal with
