    Out of curiosity, how would you rank the issues for Texas last year position group wise? Like what what were the top 5 problems in order.

    1 - LB

    2 - Edge

    3 - Safety

    4 - OL

    5 - WR, if Whittington didn't get hurt probably not here but after he went down that was a problem.

    Also receiving Notes: QB/Casey Thompson(Would be 5 if the explanation at 5 wasn't given)

    Connor Williams and Patrick Vahe were both freshman starters on the OL in 2015 after being 3* and low 4* recruits. That wasn't a good team and we had one of the worst opening games in memory, but I don't think OL was our weakest link. We're going to be fine. 

    offensive line sucked ass last year. nothing i've seen from the defensive side gives me hope

    Fair enough. Of course, the counter to that would be that IT doesn't have the best NIL contacts. This was more of a shot at their blind optimism/blind spot combination. 

    I'm sure in retrospect they're claiming they had Kelvin Banks right the whole way. 

    Nahlin was demoralized for months if it’s any consolation considering his July will tell June story and how much he hyped the July 4th weekend leading up to Banks choosing Oregon

    As mentioned in my previous observations, nothing good happens when Jett Bush is on the field. The fact that Boyd highlighted this play as a good thing for Bush is as hilarious as it is an indictment on Boyd. Sure he got to the edge, but he had to do it in a dead sprint because it took him 3 full seconds to recognize the play. 

    We’re so fucked at linebacker. 

  5. Nahlin:

     

    Yesterday in the prospect board I mentioned I wouldn’t be surprised if an EDGE player we weren’t currently talking much about ended up in the class. The staff seems to be taking the patient approach with Colton Vasek and Ashton Porter, and with Dylan Spencer in the class, that’s not surprising. On the other edge, Texas is in good shape for Braylan Spencer and Derion Gullette, who is also being recruited at off-ball linebacker. Today, South Oak Cliff’s Billy Walton committed to Oklahoma State. He‘s a quality prospect but it’s not hard to deduce what happened there.

    Given the leverage the staff has — big EDGE/DE class last year, Spencer already committed, potential Arch bounce — expect them to aim as high as the reciprocal interest they receive.

    In line with that, Tausili Akana tells @Justin Wells he’ll be back in Austin soon and is working on visit dates currently with his dad.

    That’s interesting enough, but wait, there’s more.

    Also from the Prospect Board, @stevehorn, who hasn’t been wrong since about 2012, posted this:

    “This might be something to watch. Tausili Akana from Hawaii (#9 Edge, #84 recruit) has a sister who was a starting back row player (DS) for Nebraska last season. She just announced that she is entering the portal and today she started following a number several Texas volleyball players. One interesting note is that Nebraska is thought to be leading for Tausili and he and his father just visited Nebraska over the weekend. After their trip, the sister entered the portal.”

    Texas recruiting assistant Jake Langi is certainly paying attention to this development:



    While Akana is originally from Hawaii, it’s worth noting he currently lives in Utah. One acquaintance of IT who is in the football scene in Hawaii tends to think Akana won’t go further than Utah for college football. That written, his interest in UT sure seems genuine.

    Most of this is Prospect Board fodder, but it’s in line with what we’ve been saying about the staff playing the long game, especially with Walton choosing Ok. St. today.

     

    Buck with potential, depending on what he can comfortably carry, to play Jack. Already shines in more of a Jack role but I’m not sure if he’ll be 250 or 270.

  6. Per something I posted in the roster thread on the football board:

     

    Total Scholarship Players for 2022 = 91
    New 2022 Players =33

    A minimum of 6 players must transfer to get down to a scholarship number of 85.
    In order to get to 36 new players, 3 more players could be brought in so we can expect as many as *9 players to transfer out*.

    Assuming Ochaun Mathis joins the team, that puts Texas at 92 scholarships and 34 new players. So at least 7 would have to transfer and they could only bring in 2 more players based on the numbers Sark has mentioned in his Press Conferences.

  7. From a poster on IT: 

     

    This is what the Texas Roster currently is set to look like for the 2022 season as of the end of Spring Practice on 4/23/22.
     

    Spoiler: How to Read the Chart

    Players are grouped by their original signing class, i.e. their true freshman season. This features every possible player who could have potentially been on this roster if they had stayed at Texas to exhaust all of their eligibility. Hence, transfers, early departures, and medical retirements all are listed if they could have possibly still been on the team next year and their names are in light gray.

    All Currently committed recruits are included as well, new transfers are in Bold, Players yet to officially enroll are in Italics.

    YC = Years in College as of 2022 RS/CV = RedShirt/CoVid years used ER = years of Eligibility Remaining after 2022

    For Example, Keondre Coburn signed in the 2018 class, so 2022 will be his 5th Year on Campus (YC). He redshirted for 1 year (RS) and gets 1 Covid year (CV) meaning that he will be using his 3rd year of eligibility and will have 1 year left (ER) after the 2022 season.

    **This presumes Ishamael Ibraheem (still listed on roster) returns to the team, and the 3 specialists (Stone, Pearson, St. Louis) all maintain scholarships.

    Total Scholarship Players for 2022 = 91
    New 2022 Players =33

    A minimum of 6 players must transfer to get down to a scholarship number of 85.
    In order to get to 36 new players, 3 more players could be brought in so we can expect as many as *9 players to transfer out*.

    Assuming Ochaun Mathis joins the team, that puts Texas at 92 scholarships and 34 new players. So at least 7 would have to transfer and they could only bring in 2 more players based on the numbers Sark has mentioned in his Press Conferences.

    If I've made any mistakes, in grouping players or counting scholarships or redshirt years, please let me know so I can fix it. I do plan to keep this as updated as possible throughout the offseason to keep track of all the movement we expect to see on the roster this year.

    4/? - Who enters the Portal?

     

     

     

    @RGBIII this may help you with that request you had.

    This. Connor is not going to be so good at LT or so far superior to the next best option that you hamstring his development and the overall potential of the unit by trying to play him at LT.

    I don’t see any reason to think playing him there a little bit in the spring was more than just some tinkering/experimenting given the numbers and stakes, but if he was there in the fall I’d be very disappointed and my already low expectations for the OL would be even lower.

    LT Banks

    LG Angilau/Hutson/Campbell

    C Majors/Angilau

    RG Campbell/Hutson

    RT Conner

     

    IMO at some point. But could have some varying form of that which includes Cam Williams or Neto.

    247/ON3 have our TE targets ranked as follows:

    UR/#33 Connor Cox

    #24/#35 Lafayette Kaiuway

    UR/#43 Will Randle

    #42/#51 Spencer Shannon

    Not sure what our game plan here is. Maybe Shannon is an OT prospect if he can put on 60 pounds?

    Based on the body types and guys our OL coach targets I'd wager that last line is not the case. 

     

    Our most realistic board looks Will Randle with one of LK and Shannon.

    Damn college girls and their tights bodies and loose morals.  Definitely avoid that place.  You'll be much better off at one of the older bars where the avg age is 60 and they do lines of viagra in the bathroom and the women keep Dr. Bob in business

    In 15 years I have never paid a cover charge and I didn't pay one yesterday..checks notes.  it was the wknd.   Must be much later in the evening and lets not forget the same person is asking about going to strip clubs so I doubt a $5 cover charge is much of a concern.   No doubt its not for everyone was just throwing some bars out uber distance. If he doesn't like it he can uber to one of the sterile tourist filled or alcoholic single mom bars listed above if that's more his style.  Personally I have zero issues with any bar as long as the service is good, they have cold beers and few good bodies to look at.  

    Yes they charge cover at nights on Friday and Saturday. 100%

  11. If you have young kids out near boerne stage coach there is a place called The Point. It has a playground and food trucks as well as beer selection. 
     

     

    my favorite spot is near dominion is the Silver Fox.
