    I still tend to think Sark starts Card. Ewers has taken 2 snaps where he handed the ball off in college football, so he’s in no way a proven talent. Sark likely values consistency and playbook knowledge I think over a “reckless*” QB who might show more upside. System vs talent, if you will. (* If we can believe reports - not sure we can) 

    Hope I am dead wrong. This team has a low ceiling around 7 or 8 wins this year imo so everything they do needs to be for 2023. 

    Yeah Sark better value his job too.

  3. Texas Longhorns Tuesday recruiting nuggets

    Austin, Texas – The Texas Longhorns continue to have the No. 4 ranked recruiting class in the On3 Consensus team ranking.

    With the commitment of On3 Consensus 4-star cornerback Jordan Matthews to Tennessee on Monday, Texas fans are pondering what’s next at defensive back recruiting. Inside Texas provides the latest, as well as taking a look at three other recruiting topics today.

    Javien Toviano and defensive back recruiting

    The Texas Longhorns are all in on On3 Consensus 4-star defensive back Javien Toviano. The Texas staff knows there is a legit shot with the DFW area star, and Toviano is mindful of numbers at his position. Toviano continues to consider Texas, LSU, Texas A&M, Oregon and Michigan. Look for the staff to exercise some patience at cornerback, and defensive back in the coming weeks. Both Texas A&M verbal Jayvon Thomas and former Texas A&M commit Bravion Rogers are on the radar, but Toviano is the target currently. That is not expected to change.

    LSU leads the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine for Rogers, which could also impact Toviano’s recruitment.

    Jalen Hale is the next big decision

    On3 Consensus 4-star wide receiver Jalen Hale remains scheduled to announce his decision on September 21 at Longview High. Texas remains in a solid spot, but will have to withstand the September 3 official visit and run by Nick Saban leading up to the decision. Hale will follow up the Alabama September 3 official visit with a trip to Texas on September 10. Despite the unofficial visit to Alabama in late July, Inside Texas continues to receive intel that Texas holds the edge headed into September.

    Texas enjoyed a big time summer run

    Steve Sarkisian and staff had a monster 50-day run on the recruiting trail this summer. The run began June 23 with the commitment of On3’s No. 1 ranked prospect Arch Manning, and ended August 10 with the commitment of On3’s No. 1 ranked running back Cedric Baxter Jr. The run was made up of 15 commitments, including two 5-stars and nine 4-stars. The summer of recruiting run ascended Texas from the No. 13 to No. 4 ranked class in the On3 Consensus team ranking.

    Inside Texas takes a look at summer run of commitments by date.

    Can Jones play Guard? Maybe he’s one of those guys that just can’t quite handle being on an island and would thrive with a little help and could be a replacement for Junior going down with the ACL.

     

    Its like why not get the bookends both reps at LT and RT now and rip the bandaid off and run with it. At this point with how shit the Tackle position has been, it can’t be much worse right?

    I'd rather just use him as first guy off the bench at tackle if anything. 5 years in, he aint got it chief.

    This would be ideal. Although I still feel like DJ Campbell factors in somewhere. Would love to see him get a run at Center or have them move Hutson to Center. Conner can make the line calls. 

    With Hutson being out a week hopefully Campbell can use these reps to get further along with the offense. Does anyone know why he isn't getting much hype yet? Is it mental? Physical?

  6. The 'healthy' Texas quarterback competition carries on

    (Will Gallagher/Inside Texas)

    Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian was asked point blank on Monday night if either Quinn Ewers or Hudson Card had done enough to earn the starting quarterback role. His response? “Not yet, no.”

    [Get a 50% off an Inside Texas Plus subscription!]

    After only one scrimmage, it may be disappointing but not terribly surprising to the coach who has said multiple times he wants to decide on a starter earlier than he did last season. Plus, that scrimmage included three interceptions, albeit across 100-plus plays. If there’s no starter, is there a leader? Sarkisian wouldn’t go that far.

    “I would say it’s tight,” Sarkisian said. “I would say both guys are working very hard. They’ve both got great attitudes. I’ve actually talked to both of them separately about their mindset, the room, how they’re working with one another yet competing with one another. I think they both are operating and doing it at a high level.”

    That’s a common theme among recent Texas quarterback battles. Card and Casey Thompson publicly spoke about their good rapport during last year’s competition. When Sam Ehlinger and Shane Buechele fought to be QB1 under former head coach Tom Herman, they often spoke about their ability to remain friends even amid stiff competition.

    According to Sarkisian, Card and Ewers are continuing that trend. He perceives each player is trying to primarily better themselves as opposed bettering their cohort in the quarterback room.

    “I think both of them recognize ‘man, there’s room for me to improve,’ and if I’m the other guy, he’s thinking ‘man, there’s room for me to improve,’” Sarkisian said. “That’s what I love. They’re not worried about what the other guy is doing. Their focus is on what they’re doing now and what they can do moving forward. That’s what’s making it really healthy.”

    Though the competition is healthy, Sarkisian is looking for his offense to convert more opportunities. Quarterback wasn’t the only offensive position to draw some small measure of ire from Saturday’s scrimmage, where Sarkisian said there were several missed opportunities. From that, Sarkisian looked at those misses with a glass half-full disposition.

    “I think offensively, they’re probably looking at it like ‘ahh, we missed some ops,’” Sarkisian said about the offense. “That’s good. I want them to feel that way, not walking out of there thinking ‘man, we didn’t do anything.’ They created enough explosive plays but there were more there that I think they’re champing at the bit to get back out there and go attack again.”

    Quarterback plays a significant role in converting some of those missed “ops,” especially in Sarkisian’s offense. With the Texas quarterback competition “tight,” the upper hand could go to whoever begins converting those opportunities on a more consistent basis.

    Couple of team notes:

    - I continue to hear positive comments about sophomore cornerback Jamier Johnson to the point that Johnson is pushing Ohio State transfer Ryan Watts more and more.

    Johnson, similar to Watts, is a lanky corner. Neither have ideal speed but both can be very disruptive at the line of scrimmage.

    - Cole Hutson’s type of injury is undisclosed but we have been told that it should not be long before he returns to the field. How long? One week seems like it would be the upper end of any timetable.

    That’s important as line coach Kyle Flood is trying to find his best group of five. That’s easier said than done.

    Hutson’s injury further complicates that search. Not only is Hutson out but the loss of Junior Angilau for the season only compounds it

    - While much has been made about true freshman Savion Red seeing action at punt returner, I hear Brenen Thompson is also working there and faring well. We’re still waiting to hear a decision on whether D’Shawn Jamison will return punts this season after doing so the last three years.

    - I’m told quarterback Quinn Ewers went in for extra work with QB coach AJ Milwee both before and after practice on Monday. And that time goes above and beyond the regularly scheduled QB meetings.

    Ewers appears to understand he has some serious work ahead of him following Saturday’s scrimmage which included lackluster performances by both Ewers and Hudson Card.

    The staff doesn't do any of this. Look at Burnt Ends, Horns with Heart, or Bijan's Lambo or Rhoback deals. It's fans organizing and running collectives or doing standard sponsorship deals from their companies and vetting them through UT Compliance and the Athletic Department.

    For a less publicized example, Sarkisian definitely wasn't putting together Ewers' NIL deal.

    The Texas holistic approach vs the cut throat approach.
