  1. FWIW - the insider from the IT board who has a connection in the locker room is now saying that its looking more and more like Whittington isn't returning. Might explain why Ketch and others are now pushing for 2 WR in the portal. More Mukuba - he liked this tweet:
  2. Its that time of year again - Clemson fans are worried about Mukuba and Texas fans are wish-casting. Or are they...
  3. Was in the rotation playing 25 snaps a game (not very effectively) through the first 6 games of the season.
  4. FWIW - Deandre Moore was supposed to participate in the All American Bowl this week but Joe Cook (IT) is reporting that Moore never made it to San Antonio. The following players are in the Under Armor game today: – RB Cedric Baxter – WR Johntay Cook – DL Sydir Mitchell – CB Malik Muhammad – S Derek Williams Players below are scheduled to participate in the All American Bowl: – WR Ryan Niblett – WR DeAndre Moore Jr. – OL Payton Kirkland – Edge Tausili Akana – LB Anthony Hill *Jelani McDonald has already signed with a team and will announce at this game.
  5. That would be incredible - Branch has insane stop/start and change of direction - and if Cook is his equal in these practices he definitely deserves that 5th star.
  6. Georgia just recruited Dominic Lovett and RaRa Thomas out of the portal - maybe AD was already looking around and wants to be closer to home and NIL. But I'll believe it when I see it.
  7. This dude is blowing up. Already has offers from Colorado, WVU, Houston, Arkansas, aggy, OUsucks, and many others. Texas ADOPP, JM Jones, is following Tyrone.
  8. He's got some 'interesting' stats. Only played about 22 snaps a game - mostly as a pass rusher (200 pass rush snaps and 116 run support). Had 8 sacks but only had 21 pressures in 14 games for 1.5 pressures a game.
  9. Nahlin had mentioned him as someone Texas would be interested in. Per On3 rankings - here are the top uncommitted WR's in the portal and their ranking: Dante Cephas - Kent St (8) Kevin Coleman - Jackson St (19) Xavier Weaver - USF (22) DeQuece Carter - Fordham (23) Dante Thornton - Oregon (24)
  10. Would be a Super Senior - has increased his sack total every year. He had 15 sacks the season before. Despite only 3 sacks this season he had 39 pressures. Michigan already picked him up so its moot.
  11. The Coastal Carolina kid was a good one - Josaiah Stewart. Also OU had the package deal with McCullough brothers. The 'not Byron Vaughns' Edge at Utah St, Daniel Grzesiak, is really good and still uncommitted.
  12. From IT's notes regarding portal: They need a third RB (after Brooks & Baxter) - someone who can move a pile. Need WR's - clock is ticking and Texas needs to pick up the pace. Need a healthy Catalon Edge will come from internal development Re LB, Will is easiest to play for young players and will likely have Ford to guide them.
  13. Not wanting to count on a true freshman /= shitting on a recruit. Yes, I would prefer experienced proven players over not experienced and not proven. We should be using the portal to pull the best players available at positions of weakness - like LB, Edge, WR, and Safety.
  14. Bobby (IT) mentioned that Texas could be looking for a veteran RB to join the room.
  15. Adari Haulcy was top 20 in the country among Safetys in coverage last year on PFF. He regularly played Slot Corner in Rocky Long's 3-3-5 defense as part of his Rover duties. PK had no problem using 225lb George Iloka at Safety at Boise - and Taylor Rapp while only 210 was a slower more physical safety that excelled in PK's defense.
  16. Bobby (IT) out with a report on the portal this morning. Jalen Catalon and OSU Safety Thomas Harper are two safeties Texas currently has an eye on Texas still looking to take 1-2 WR's from the portal. Texas 'dipped their toes in' on Singer and Armstrong but both WRs committed before Texas fully engaged. Bobby writes "I believe this week should be somewhat revealing on the receiver front." No OL or LB expected from portal If a 'big name' pass rusher enters Texas will compete but otherwise don't expect an addition at ED/Edge/edge
  17. Broden and Anderson are both Detroit kids - maybe we can get a package deal and save on airfare.
  18. I'm a huge Catalon fan and I hope Texas can sign him - but Haulcy would have been a great pickup wherever they played him. Yeah - he's a biscuit away from being a LB - but that's fine he can play in the box and we keep Thompson at FS. With Catalon's injury history we really shouldn't count on him - we should be looking at anything he can give as a bonus.
  19. Adari Haulcy would have raised the floor of the Safety room. Instead we'll trot out a fucking freshman or convert a DB to Safety and watch him look completely fucking lost. But, no worries, that next wave of uber-talented portal entrants is going to happen any day now.
  20. We better call Tyrone... 6'7" 210. Caught 68 balls for 1100 yards and 12 TDs the last 2 seasons. https://bgsufalcons.com/sports/football/roster/tyrone-broden/9187
