  1. IT Scoop says that their sources all expect Catalon to pick Texas. Texas doctors have signed off on the shoulder - and the only roadblock would have been if Georgia decided to pursue (that is where Catalon's girlfriend is). They mention two candidates for the WR coach - Samples at ASU and Justin Stepp from South Carolina. Stepp was Chad Morris' WR coach at SMU and then Arkansas before moving to join Shane Beamer at South Carolina after Morris firing at Arkansas. https://gamecocksonline.com/sports/football/roster/coach/justin-stepp/ They say that both the WR coach position and the HR Relations position are in high demand with candidates reaching out to Texas.
  2. Yeah - I just kind of assumed it was a 'semi-retirement' kind of position. But if the scenario CTJ mentioned is a possibility that would surely make it more attractive to a coach like Dodge.
  3. Justin Johnson doesn't even have a wikipedia page - how am I supposed to know what to think of him? Seriously though - he caught 87 balls for 1229 yards and 12tds his Senior year at Houston. So he's got that going for him - which is nice.
  4. Gerry (IT) says Catalon arrived on campus this morning and had lunch with Blake Gideon. Scheduled to have dinner with Sark tonight. Lets hope it wasn't Denny's
  5. Closer to 190 than 400? Just so we're clear - the reported weights for Akana this weekend were 199, 196, 215, and 'closer to 190'.
  6. This is for an 'on field' position - pretty sure those rules don't apply (also not sure if they even would apply to 'trainers' or just HS coaches).
  7. Not to bring this name up - but the only 'personal trainer' I'm aware of Texas hiring as a position coach is Jay Valai - but he had 1 year of experience coaching at Rutgers. Is anyone aware of any other personal trainer hires Texas has made?
  8. 247's public database only shows data back to 2010. Here are Texas numbers each year going back:
  9. Carrier went from WVU, to Houston, to sitting out of football for two years and then ending up at Texas A&M Commerce - there is something in his past that he is now paying for.
  10. My concern is portal recruiting given how big a need WR is and how little time is left in the first window. Has anyone said Tee Martins name yet?
  11. Have to believe all the action around Tulsa and others earlier that Sark has had some preliminary talks about a replacement already. Hopefully, for this board’s sake, this doesn’t drag out.
  12. Wonder if Whittington knew this before he announced his return. Let the speculation on a replacement begin.
  13. Well. Shit. Aggy just fucked us with their laughable OC hire. Good for Marion - and it certainly looks good for Texas when an assistant gets a promotion elsewhere.
  14. Texas didn’t fire Beard to ‘uphold their image’, they fired him because he put his hands (and teeth) on his fiancé and was arrested. If you’re equating Calipari’s recruiting indiscretions with Beards women beating - you’ve got some problems.
  15. One of the safeties Bobby (IT) said Texas was interested in. In addition to Harper (and Catalon), Bobby said Texas was also doing due diligence on a couple of G5 Safety prospects in the portal. Catalon was supposed to visit ND after Purdue (and before Texas). Wonder if that trip is called off or if ND is going for a 2 safety haul.
  16. Tremendous news. Good player, great teammate, and some Sr. leadership to replace some of what Roschon brought.
  17. Excellent. Jones returns, Campbell and Williams at the Guard spots, and a competition for C.
  18. Texas ADOPP JM Jones just started following Cal TE Jermaine Terry. The 6'4" 255 pound Soph entered the portal yesterday. https://calbears.com/sports/football/roster/jermaine-terry-ii/21275
  19. Tashard Choice is following Michigan St Super-Senior RB Elijah Collins. The 6'1" 215lbs RB carried the ball 70 times for 318 yards and 6tds last season. https://msuspartans.com/sports/football/roster/elijah-collins/11984
  20. I don’t think any of the Under Armor Bowl guys moved in yet.
  21. Just updated my post - Choice, Banks, and Harris are all following Bernard now.
