  1. He says Texas, OU, SMU, Oregon are his preferred options but it’s not clear if they feel the same about him. I also don’t put much stock in what the kids say until school is out and they get home with the people who will help make the decisions. Hell Evan’s camp is telling trainers in the metroplex he coming to Texas to play his last year with Quinn but nobody believes him cause he told everybody, including Sark and Quinn, he was transferring to Texas last portal cycle. I don’t believe Texas is showing him interest to be honest.
  2. The Evan to Texas train starts and stops with Quinn. If Evan wants to really play at Texas it’s going to take a strong push from Quinn. Texas won’t even entertain it without Quinn pushing for it.
  3. We want Austin Jordan to stay. Profiles to safety quite well and to be honest I’d play him at nickel before Gullibeau or however you spell his name.
  4. I want Murph back but that doesn’t seem likely. Could see Collins coming back and being the man at DT next year. He has a draft able grade but Bo can show the year Sweat is having and sell Collins on making that jump next year. If we get Collins back I’m feeling good with Burke and the rest of the edges returning that we have a good DLine. The coaches are high on Vasak if he can stay healthy, Simmons can be a third down specialist and I think with another off season Burke is going to be a monster. If the light comes on for Tapp we start to look scary at edge.
  5. He didn’t look great once the scripted plays that he worked all week on were used up but he did show off his arm on some great early throws. It’s still early for him. He will be a power five starter before his career ends if he can stay healthy. That’s his biggest issue. He was scared of contact cause he wasn’t/isn’t healthy. Truthfully shouldn’t have been playing with his back issues.
  6. Bingo. they still talk and are pretty good friends.
  7. Make sure Blue is happy before you reach out to Golden.
  8. Bryce or Jacoby to pair with Derek Williams. I would say go get both, they both had us second in their recruitments and both have engaged with people at Texas about transferring. Only issue is if you get both you’re would be asking Bryce to play nickel and his close friend who has been trying to get him to Texas is expected to take that spot over. So more likely try to get Bryce at safety and leave it at that. They have some DT that would be nice to have. Evan is going to tell the whole world again how he wants to transfer to Texas but I think Texas is over Evan. He played with Texas twice already. Arch would have to personally ask Sark at this point for them to engage with Evan.
  9. Backup DTs and Ant Hill took a terrible inside step to run him out the lane the run was coming through.
  10. Damn can we tamper with Williams and pay him to play his last year at Texas. He is their WHOLE offense tonight.
  11. The rumor was Troy Omeire shared info with Carrington. Rumor was Troy was upset about not playing and still had a relationship with Carrington who he followed to Arizona state. Jared Wiley would have also known the signs. Those are the rumors I’ve heard. Never heard about somebody being removed from the facilities. Also doubt GP would help the TCU staff. He loves the kids he recruited but hates the new staff. They replaced him and he gave Sonny a life line when he was jobless before he got the SMU job.
  12. He has profiled to safety long term since 12 and under football.
  13. BJ Allen is just a weird situation. He is more athletic than Taffe and Thompson. He can’t be worse in coverage than Crawford. Gary Patterson liked Allen in 22 and was telling coaches to get him ready to play big snaps in 2023. GP left and he got dropped to the back of the line. Also Austin Jordan should be a safety right now. Must likely would be a starting safety if they would have moved him in the spring.
  14. His dad expressed the usage concerns last year. Had some pretty direct convos during the bowl practices with certain members of the defensive staff. Manny Muhammad’s camp feels the same way. They were skeptical of Joseph from the jump and not really liking the soft zones versus playing man. That was a point of emphasis during that recruitment. Not sure if we need a new DC or changes in the secondary coaches. But there some disconnect. No way we change the DC so Sark got a decision to make in regards to Joseph and Gideon.
  15. 1. My boy Cam had some false start penalties, which I expect with the inexperience, but he looked really good out there. Gave up no pressures and really moving people in the run game. Campbell and Williams will be a monster right side running the ball next year. Proud of the kid. Now get back to work and get better. 2. Disappointed to not see BJ today. He can’t be worse than Thompson. Can’t be. 3. Can we raise some money for somebody on the D Line like we did for J Brooks? That D Line came to play and has some bad mofo. Need to start raising money now to get Murphy to stay. 4. Sark full of shit.
  16. Cam was prepped to play big minutes at RT this week. Got first team reps later in the week. But coaches have told him and the family that Jones deserves the opportunity to test out the ankle and if he thinks he can go he will get the start. BJ Allen got the most reps he has gotten in several weeks. There a chance he plays. He was just happy to get reps week honestly.
  17. I doubt it happens because the optics of Texas firing Blake Gideon, but Jimmy Lake was an outstanding coach who put plenty of people in the league. He also knows how to match up the secondary with PK front 7. PK and Lake honestly need each other cause they were both at their best when they had each other. I’d personally like to hire another Cornerback coach and move Joseph over to safety.
  18. Right next to the Round Rock baseball stadium. They even had a drive through during the pandemic.
  19. It’s nice for out of town folks but makes sure you tell them to go to the right location. If they don’t know they might end up at the Round Rock location which doesn’t have any of the benefits of the trip to the original.
  20. Anybody who mentions Salt Lick or Rudy’s deserves a fist fight.
  21. This is a great list. Franklin’s is still king but the line and wait make it an adventure that won’t work well with trying to make it to a 2:30 football game. LA is our middle ground. Small line but still great BBQ. Intersteller is good but they have major lines since they made the top 10 list and it’s nowhere near the stadium. Terry Black’s is really popular and if you go after the game you don’t have to worry about them running out of food. make sure you go to Gourdough’s Big Fat Donut while in Austin for something sweet. You can thank me later.
  22. I’m adding to the Brooks fund today. He is the best player on our offense.
