  1. Cam had a rough start but once he settled in he was very good again. The whole line was awesome yesterday, and that holding call was BS. excited about this year and next year. Goosby-Neto-Hutson-Campbell-Williams will be a good ass line.
  2. 27 - Texas 13- Michigan
  3. My biggest surprise was Fresno going at Will Johnson. He made the play to seal the game but he also got beat several times that would have resulted in multiple scores if Fresno has a decent QB. They played him man-free a lot and he was jumping routes, so the double moves were pretty effective. Safety position seemed slow. I expect Texas to see much more zone behind pressure looks cause going man would allow Sark to hunt matchups. I don’t see Texas running the ball a lot, but will use the RPO and short passing game to replace it.
  4. He is not getting fired this year. Even with a bad season. He is bringing more attention to the Colorado program and school than anything has in the last 15 plus years. They will ride the train as long as they can.
  5. I’m not sure how T Joseph plays a role in the Phillips recruitment outside of pushing “maybe he doesn’t identify talent well cause if he did then why wasn’t he recruiting you at corner”. But still he committed to Texas to play safety with a chance to try out corner. At the end of the day the kid wants to bet on himself and his ability to play corner. Man corner on an island cause that’s been Raymond’s biggest recruiting tool against Texas this year and last two years at Florida. He says Texas can’t teach and won’t play man, he will and that’s how you get to the league. Good luck to the kid. FYI: somebody mentioned it earlier in the thread. Brooks dad hates T Joseph. I don’t know of any contact with Phillips but if Daddy Brooks and TJ are in the same room anytime soon it’s probably going to end in a wrestling match.
  6. I’m late to the party but I couldn’t let this one pass. I’ve beat all the TMNT games, and Leo and Donatello should be the only two options! Mikey is the favorite from the cartoon and movies.
  7. If we just need some bodies we could technically sign a grad transfer RB that’s still left in the portal. Wouldn’t expect much from them if they are still in there but you could find a practice body.
  8. Damn is our defense the 85 Bears all of sudden? Sheesh. I sure hope we actually smack around the other teams RBs when season starts.
  9. Cam getting mentioned by CTJ? Mommy we made it! In all seriousness we are pulling for Williams and Campbell so hard this year. Cam has came a long way since 12u and middle school basketball.
  10. My DLine guy on the team likes the new DTs. Thinks there are going to help. A lot. Swears the DLine will be better this year as a whole this year. I want to believe him but sometimes players have blind spots. He also thinks Broughton is breaking out this year. The most interesting thing he has said is it’s some players that really want to start Barron and Williams at safety. That’s where my transfer questions start. Says those two with JG at nickel would be the best lineup but doesn’t think the coaches will do it.
  11. Im guessing when you say “bigger” we are talking about the bigger profile transfers versus the actual bigger sized transfers?
  12. I’m reading the situation as it’s not a complete miss the season ACL tear. That would be clear as day on a MRI. The question has to be surgery for tear or rehab it. Rehab gets him back on the field sooner but is that the best option for a young running back
  13. Never the less, I’ve already bench Big NASA and put 40 on some random online player with my Ewers to Bond connection.
  14. It’s a few Texas players not on the game right now. Big Cam and A. Collins two noteworthy names. Curious if they just didn’t opt in.
  15. Cook is well trained and prepared for the WR position from working with arguable the top WR trainer in state. Runs great routes and even has the prototype WR attitude. But Moore has a gear that flat out is god given. Super fast and the speed shows on the field not just in track times. Great in and out of breaks. Of course he could always bust or prove to be super soft. Believe it or not, Evan Stewart has some of those same crazy acceleration and speed qualities, he just is a pussy and his family talks to much.
  16. Another tidbit on the Roger’s recruitment, his head coach is who took him to his official visit to Texas. Coach Allen absolutely loves Coach Gilbert. Gilbert gave him his first two jobs and has been a driving force in his career advancement. Gilbert has kept Texas in this recruitment while Texas has played Rogers a little small while other schools applied full court pressure. If Texas wants Rogers and makes sure he knows he is not playing second fiddle, Texas can easily win this recruitment. Both Fasusi and Rogers are studs. I’m glad I don’t have to make a decision between the two.
  17. Kenny Baker, superstar recruiter on the way! In all seriousness, he is going to need NIL help with this class but the kids on campus like him and think he is really good at teaching pass rush. They think they have some guys who are going to break out. They also think they will have better sack totals due some changes in scheme from Nansen. A few people think Baker is an active recruiter, he just doesn’t have shit to sell right now. Bo was the opposite. Didn’t love recruiting but had a resume to sell.
  18. I know people who are close to the program/on staff at North Shore. Even coaches knew a lot of those kids were head cases, but Sanchez is the one kid who is pretty universally liked from there. The same coach who told me personally that Harris and Zach would flame out loves Sanchez and his mental makeup for football. I still don’t expect Texas to ever really be in contention for Sanchez though.
  19. I hope we sign all the DTs and DLine. Not saying it can’t happen but if Texas signs any of the linemen that are currently visiting it will be a come from behind win. Texas doesn’t/didnt lead for any of them heading into the weekend.
  20. People still love recruiting, just think it’s quite around here because this is our smallest OV weekend and there is not a lot expectations for the guys visiting this week. Outside of Chester, I don’t expect anybody who is visiting this weekend to eventually commit to Texas.
  21. Not CTJ but I’ve talked to some guys in the DT room who like what they’ve seen from him so far. They talk about how detailed he is and that he is always full of energy. Did a good job of pulling the room together after Bo left and getting buy in from everybody except one kid, but different opinions on what the real issue is that situation. Personality should help him recruit. More active than Bo but doesn’t have any draft skins to really lean on. He has to be able to get AC to a second day pick. That’s the big question competition is using against him right now, who has he developed.
  22. Brooks has some really good options if he will commit to playing safety full time. That’s where many coaches in the portal see his future. If he wants to be recruited at cornerback only his options are not that great.
  23. Happy for Austin Jordan and think TCU is a good landing spot for him. He can definitely play there. Now that it’s official, TCU and Baylor were the two schools who worked to get AJ into the portal. They both are recruiting Denton Ryan very hard and used the staff to make sure AJ knew he had a home and starting spot if he entered the portal. TCU is trying to create a pipeline into Denton Ryan. AJ will be the 2nd Ryan kid on the squad via the portal and they have a senior at Ryan who just committed as well.
  24. Scouts talking NIL is wild because there is also the flip side of that. If there wasn’t NIL to bring kids back for more development a lot of guys draft day would look very different. Plus the Covid year has been a blessing for kids. Several kids went top 3 rounds this year that greatly benefited from being able to play an extra year. Bo Nix doesn’t sniff first two rounds last year but goes 12 after using the extra year. Penix uses the extra year to show he can stay healthy and has a magical run. No way he is a first rounder with the extra year.
