  1. This definitely couldn't have went in one of the aggie threads.
  2. Oven mit coming up from the back pocket would complete this.
  3. If I heard Schloss correct on OTF this morning it sounds like Galvan is back this weekend?
  4. Them sons of bitches banned the drop 5 Hype Fire! Scumbags!
  5. Vic will be on OTF tomorrow morning early so tune in at the beginning of their live around 8:15 am CST.
  6. So using analytics and studying the individual players most likely to contact the ball point they can customize where the mass is per hitter, correct? That's pretty cool
  7. Bobby One might wonder why the Longhorns are recruiting Stanford edge David Bailey from the transfer portal given edge is a position of strength for the Horns. Well, the answer isn’t that complicated. Texas clearly sees Bailey as an immediate player for this team. Bailey had seven sacks a year ago for the Cardinal and is thought to have high-end NFL upside. As a high school senior at Mater Dei in California, Bailey was the no. 34 overall ranked player in the country and is considered the best overall pro prospect on the Stanford squad. Getting after the quarterback will always carry a premium value. You can never have enough. So the Horns are looking to make a position that is considered a team strength even stronger.
  8. Bobby Burton A few quick notes: - As we reported yesterday afternoon, Ryan Wingo is sidelined with a hamstring injury for what likely will be the remainder of camp. It’s not considered ultra-serious. His timeline for recovery is about two weeks but the thought is Texas would rather let it fully heal than put undue pressure to return early. - Jordan Washington was dinged up over the weekend. Then he tried to give it a go again on Monday before being forced from the field. He’s currently in a shoulder harness and will be getting an MRI today. - I am told one other defensive player has a hand injury that could be keeping him sidelined for a bit. I’m not mentioning his name until it’s fully confirmed. In all, that’s three injuries of some significance through the first four practices. ** According to CJ Vogel, the three starting receivers in yesterday’s practice were Parker Livingstone, Jamie Ffrench and Daylon McCutcheon. **
  9. Growth opportunity for the young receivers. In Parker we trust!
  10. Lets not forget, A&M paid Nebraska 4+ million to buyout Alberts as well!
  11. More like DumbGuy
  12. They want really good players and you can never have too much good edge depth especially with Moore playing for linebacker.
  13. Wonder what this was before they slotted pay for 1st round picks? Teams reach for QBs consistently now because if you hit your franchise is set.
  14. https://www.espn.com/nfl/players/_/position/ot Of the 194 players listed above only 4 are listed at 6'3(2%) and 21 are listed at 6'4(11%). I used that link because it was the best compilation of names for the position I could find on Google. So yes 6'3 and even 6'4 is very uncommon for NFL OT. On another site it seems the want for more height at the tackle position has exploded the past 3-5 years as average height has increased about an inch. A final note is that I'm not sure why some of these players are listed on there when they are listed as guards for their team. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bz5qZw3O2OrAc1z-OGB8lqEAuYKWhev2KSGd3VcAlQE/edit?gid=0#gid=0 The four 6'3 players listed are as follows with some notes: The only consistent starter at tackle of the 6'3 guys is Beachum The 6'4 players listed are as follows with notes:
  15. I'm not saying recruit him as a center, but statistically speaking due to average heights and shit in the NFL he doesn't project to NFL OT.... As said above do whatever you have to do to get him on campus then decide long term.
  16. Here is Steve Smith breaking down Golden 2 weeks ago(timestamped). Smith is pretty good at evaluating receiver and hits on a lot of the guys he hypes. Compares Golden to McMillan and you gives insight how pro teams construct receiver rooms and how we do similar.
  17. There aren't many starting NFL tackles under 6'5 height.... He has elite footwork, long arms, and is very strong guy at his current weight. He likely gets to about 305-310 in college for his playing weight. Those measurements with his tools would crush at the center position as well as him being an incredibly smart kid(top 5 in his class).
  18. Dailyn Swain visiting today and tomorrow per Gerry.
  19. I believe he can be an elite center at college and NFL level. His feet and strength are good.
  20. Bobby Burton Today is the first day of practice in full pads for the Horns. The team gets going at 9am. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian will meet with the media immediately following practice. ** After gathering intel from the first three days of practice, it’s clear that Arch Manning is stepping up. The redshirt sophomore from New Orleans has been described as accurate, with the ball coming out quickly. But perhaps the bigger piece overall is what one source told me more succinctly. ”He’s got a command of the offense, of how it’s supposed to run, the timing of it. He’s just impressive,” the source said. ** Saturday’s practice was marked by the team going at it pretty heavily despite not being in full pads. The team even worked inside run on Saturday. While some onlookers called out DJ Campbell’s performance and style of play, I’m told Neto Umeozulu has looked the part as a starter thus far into camp. We’ll see if that continues, but it’s very likely that the guard-center-guard combo could be a different type of interior with a different strength than a year ago (or the past couple of years). ** On Saturday, during team period, I’m told Parker Livingstone found the end zone a couple of times. He continues to have a breakthrough spring camp. ** With Trey Moore working exclusively as an off-ball linebacker thus far into camp, it’s given more opportunity for Zina Umeozulu to step forward. Zina, like his brother, is earning positive comments behind the scenes. ** If you’re looking for a breakout star on defense, Jelani McDonald could be the guy to watch. McDonald has worked primarily at safety in camp and has looked more like an elder statesman than the relative newcomer he was a year ago. **
