  1. How many guys do you think we'll sign? If we sign 22-25 guys, I bet we're in the top ten. Follow up: with the portal, would you rather have the #15 ranked class and save more spots for the transfer portal considering a move to the SEC might boost interest across the country?
  2. One minor complaint. There is nothing wrong with 3-stars on a micro level. Every school takes them. They are only a problem if they comprise a majority of your class. Take 6 or 7 of them, not 15 of them.
  3. I noticed Xavier Worthy only played 5 games last year in Fresno. Did Texas high schools play a full schedule? You'd have to imagine it's not just lack of tape, but stunted development with the limited practices and offseason workouts during Covid.
  4. You know what they call these kids when they get to campus?
  5. You're so close. Sooooooooo close to a breakthrough.
  6. I hope the SEC network makes a documentary about the Swedish boy that moves to College Station.
  7. Recruiting thread: "Kids these days were 2 year olds when Vince crossed the goal line. They don't remember Texas being good." Football thread: "These kids at Arkansas are bitter rivals with Texas and will play their best game of the year."
  8. I didn't even follow that. I thought it was just general rage. What post is he referencing?
  9. So if you took our grouping that is used the most in Big 12 play, are you thinking Gbenda and Overshown are the LBs?
  10. Yeah. Only one of them has inherent value.
  11. I think about that game when people post that “we need to win ‘x’ number of games this year.” Would you have felt any different about Herman if Dicker hits that kick? I wouldn’t. I want to watch games, see good coaching, and see a team that improves over the course of the season.
  12. Does the amount of time that media gets to watch practices differ from staff to staff? Or does that get set by the AD?
  13. Are you joking? Those guys have to maintain relationships with everyone to do their job.
  14. Clearly you're forgetting their backdoor cover against Clemson.
  15. Pretty sure I didn't want to slit my wrists after North Texas. That came a week later...
  16. Well then Sark should also get to sell his undefeated record at Texas.
  17. One thing I've learned in my profession: "put the money on the screen."
  18. I get all the jokes, but getting to see a new coaching staff is always fun. It's like opening up a box on Christmas morning. Maybe Gwyneth's head won't be in it this time.
  19. I'm not disagreeing with any of this, but the fact that we were in Bryce's top 2 suggests that it was a winnable recruitment despite these factors. Obviously, if we start developing and winning, we won't have to debate things like perception and negative recruiting.
