  1. Mitchell is ass.
  2. If he was smart he'd be pushing YT content like OTF and building that up. So much money to be made off of there.
  3. I assume the 1st line is the starters and the second is the backups
  4. Maybe it was just a partial tear and it was clean? Maybe not a complete rupture? It is very remarkable! Also achilles surgeries have come so far with the new techniques.
  5. We are moving on! Texas Basketball: Good Enough
  6. I'll be happy since you all are happy with being good enough. Lets move on.
  7. So Sampson outperformed him by making the final four. Got it! Good analysis. Also making the final four at Oklahoma vs Arizona....key difference.
  8. What is that confuses you about why they would stay in college vs going pro? It's self explanatory yet here you are.
  9. How many final fours did Miller make?
  10. Sampson is a much better coach than Miller, even before Houston.
  11. CJ Vogel Texas is seven practices into spring football, meaning they are essentially at halftime. We have learned a lot of what's going on in spring ball, but there remains plenty of unknowns for the second half of spring football. However, based off of what we know, I wanted to give a projected 2-deep at each position for the midway point. *** Offense Quarterback Rs. Sophomore Arch Manning Rs. Freshman Trey Owens Pretty cut and clean at the quarterback position for Steve Sarkisian and AJ Milwee. Texas has its starter for the fall. Of course, early enrollee KJ Lacey is running third. Running Back Junior Tre Wisner Sophomore Jerrick Gibson – OR – Rs. Freshman Christian Clark With CJ Baxter still recovering from his knee injury from fall camp, the Longhorns are rolling with Tre Wisner once again as their lead back. Sarkisian confirmed it at the media availability on Tuesday as well, Wisner is the guy. Gibson has the edge over Clark as he gets back to 100% as well. Gibson has filtered in with the first unit often, and Clark has received a solid amount of reps with the 2's. Early enrollees James Simon and Rickey Stewart are growing into their own. Wide Receiver X – Rs. Freshman Parker Livingstone Z – Freshman Jaime Ffrench H – Freshman Daylan McCutcheon and X – Freshman Michael Terry III Z – Freshman Kaliq Lockett H – Freshman Aaron Butler Specifics on the X, Z, H are subject to change, but this is where the reps have been split mostly at practice thus far. Kaliq Lockett was also mentioned by Steve Sarkisian as someone who is running with the first team often. I have not heard that as much for Aaron Butler, however he will get his looks as the spring continues. Tight End Rs. Sophomore Spencer Shannon Freshman Emaree Winston Texas is banged up. No Jordan Washington for the time being, otherwise he would be your No. 1 option here. Fortunately, this provides great looks for Spencer Shannon for the first time in his career with the first team. Nick Townsend arrives in the summer and will make noise as well. Offensive Line LT1 – Rs. Sophomore Trevor Goosby LT2 – Freshman Nick Brooks LG1 – Junior Neto Umeozulu LG2 –Rs. Freshman Nate Kibble – OR – Rs. Sophomore Jaydon Chatman C1 – Senior Cole Hutson C2 – Rs. Freshman Daniel Cruz RG1 – Senior DJ Campbell RG2 – Rs. Freshman Nate Kibble RT1 – Sophomore Brandon Baker RT2 – Rs. Sophomore Andre Cojoe – OR – Freshman Nick Brooks For the time being, that's where we stand on the offensive line. Plenty of battles on the offensive line as well. Nick Brooks is getting looks at both sides of the ball, a great sign early. Daniel Cruz has been someone we have heard plenty about making noise and Nate Kibble had a tremendous redshirt year and is pushing at both guard spots. **** Defense EDGE Sophomore Colin Simmons Rs. Freshman Zina Umeozulu Senior Ethan Burke – OR – Senior Trey Moore Freshman Lance Jackson – OR – Freshman Justus Terry Obviously with Trey Moore getting reps at linebacker, it changes a bit of what Texas is doing off the edge. No Colton Vasek means Zina Umeozulu also gets some notable key reps in the first and second units as well. But both new early enrollees are getting some key snaps as well against Nick Brooks and Andre Cojoe, both will payoff in the long run. Interior DL Senior Cole Brevard & Sophomore Alex January Senior Travis Shaw & Senior Hero Kanu I wanted to show the interior defensive line in a duo look. Expect a lot of snaps for Alex January and Cole Brevard in 2025, they are your No. 1 guys on the interior with Brevard manning the nose. Travis Shaw is limited with a lingering knee, but will be a key piece next fall over the nose as well. Will be interesting to see who Texas adds out of the portal, as well as what Myron Charles and Josiah Sharma bring to the table. Linebacker MIKE1 – Junior Anthony Hill Jr. MIKE2 – TyAnthony Smith WILL1 – Junior Liona Lefau – OR – Senior Trey Moore WILL2 – Senior Brad Spence Again, the movement of Trey Moore makes things really interesting for the Horns at the second level. What kind of pass rush and identification issues can the Horns provide with their weapons at the linebacking position. TyAnthony Smith, Brad Spence each bring individual skillsets as well, but they complement each other well. STAR Rs. Freshman Wardell Mack – OR – Junior Jelani McDonald Sophomore Jordon Johnson-Rubell – OR – Sophomore Ryan Niblett Lots of bodies getting cross-trained here at the STAR position. Wardell Mack had been getting the first-team looks this spring with Jelani McDonald back at safety due to some injury issues back deep. Will be really intersting to see if Ryan Niblett brings anything to this room. Cornerback Junior Malik Muhammad Junior Warren Roberson – OR – Freshman Kade Phillips Senior Jaylon Guilbeau Sophomore Kobe Black – OR – Rs. Freshman Santana Wilson Plenty of bodies right now in the cornerback room as well, so much so, that Steve Sarkisian called it the "best-looking" room on the 40 Acres currently. Given the names above, it is hard to disagree. The length and speed of the guys listed on the two deep are tremendous. Texas might not be super experienced here, but the skillset is great and with Guilbeau moving outwide, necessary experience as well. Safety Senior Michael Taaffe – AND – Junior Jelani McDonald Sophomore Jordan Johnson-Rubell – AND – Sophomore Xavier Filsaime The return of Derek Williams Jr. and eventual debut of Jonah Williams will make this room great. Right now, it is really good. Michael Taaffe and Jelani McDonald bring plenty of experience and the most underrated part of the Texas defense will be the vocal leadership and communication of Taaffe at the safety spot. JJR has been receiving some praise and there is the athleticism to note of Xavier Filsaime that could bring some juice. Of course, early enrollee Zelus Hicks is someone to monitor as well.
  12. The Samford coach is laughable hire by Aggie and one they make. I'd be okay with the coach from SF 3 years ago because the hire at age 36 would show we identified some traits we liked in him and decided to go young vs a guy with 20 years and cashed out on his potential.
  13. Todd Golden would NEVER be hired at Texas. Do you really think Texas would hire a coach who had only coached at San Francisco?
  14. Who knows, Miller was the hire 2.5 years ago so it doesn't even seem like we did a real search outside of feelers to guys who would obviously say no(Wright, Hurley, etc). All because of Miller having a relationship with CDC's former boss.
  15. Collective NIL > $80k especially at top end. So their base pay in college is higher while still earning other NIL opportunity. For example a player of Aalyiah Chavez caliber NIL is about 1 million at Oklahoma, that doesn't include her other NIL deals she'll get.
  16. Top 10 picks in WNBA will only make like 70 something k, could probably make quite a bit more in NIL in college.
  17. 6th seems pretty dang low. I think the QB's end up something like this: 1st - Cam 1st - Shedeur(could fall to late 1st End of 1st/2nd - Dart 2nd - Shough Late 2nd/3rd - Milroe - some team will take him because his athleticism 3rd - Howard 3rd to early 4th - Quinn 3rd to 4th - McCord 4th-5th - Gabriel 4th-5th - Rourke
  18. I just look at Miller compared to other hires CDC has made and he's no where close to the same as those hires in terms of their place in their sport. Miller currently is not a top 5-10 coach in his sport. He's probably in that 16-25 range. You obviously can't include Sark in that conversation because he was hired by CDC's bosses and RT was some circumstances built around it with the E8 run.
  19. Doesn't matter CDC chose Miller 2.5 years ago until RT threw a wrench in it. But here we are....hope for the best but expect good enough for Texas basketball.
  20. I didn't say we should hire Lucas, did I? Just proving a point that assistants can be hired from programs to be a HC. But Miami basketball has as many FF appearances as we have this century. I'll give him 5 years to make a final 4....if he doesn't he wont and he'll 61/62 by that time. Basketball isn't some sport like football that takes 4-5 years to completely turn around. We have some of the best practice facilities, best stadium, and in this portal/NIL era should be some of the best for that as well. Absolutely no excuse for Texas basketball to be content and happy with just making elite 8s
  21. Florida won a title in year 3, precedent is set. Like Miami did with Lucas?
