    I thought he was a '3 to play 3' guy, meaning he had already used his redshirt prior to his injury season.

    I hope so too. At some point we have to get over losing experience and expecting an immediate downgrade rather than reloading and not missing a beat. Neither Brewer nor Leitao came in as substantially worse players than Beck. They have had time to marinate and get stronger. Neither may be a direct replacement, but either could very well bring a new, even better dimension to the offense.

    I thought medical redshirts weren't actually awarded until the normal eligibility is exhausted, meaning he won't officially get that extra season until he plays 2.

    That certainly seems to be the case. And if no one good comes out after the Spring and we didn't have better options already in play? Hopefully, we have no idea what is going on and the staff is courting several guys already. It wouldn't be the first time the 9.95ers were caught flatfooted. I'll be disappointed if we see guys like Stephens and King pick schools in the coming weeks. Has there been sight of either guy during winter workouts? I guess that could be a sign that we know what our baseline is.

    If the last recruiting class is any indication, he thinks he is getting Feaster and therefore there is no need to work alternate plans. Hopefully there are sane minds pushing other alternatives along the Tre 'Just good enough' Watson line.

    I am surprised we haven't at least publicly kicked the tires on a few of these guys. The fact that so many of them still haven't picked a school suggests they aren't in a rush to make a pick. Hopefully we are active behind the scenes and don't end up empty handed.

    Well, there it is...

    I am now confident we will hit 1000. There will be the inevitable bits of info coming out about the early enrollees that will end up here. There will be additional GT names that will pop-up, especially after Spring Practice. Those topics probably get us another page. I also am sure one or two of the headcases in this overall class will do something stupid and we will joke about it for a page. Then add in 8 pages of shitposting and we are at 1000.

    It was more just a complaint about us not being able to pencil anyone in for an injury-free season. Williams also split carries as a frosh/sophomore at aggy, but he got through both seasons without missing any games before toting it 270 times last season. We probably don't even need Ingram to run it that many times even without anyone better than Young/Johnson as a back up, but our expectation is that he will get injured. Frustrating that our guys always seem to be injured while other teams seem to avoid having to go far into their depth chart, especially when they only have bread on the back end. Would probably help if we had 2 G5 patsies and an FCS team on the schedule.

    It is annoying how we seem to get bit by the injury bug so often. Why can't we expect Ingram to have 250+ carries like Williams did at aggy? Their next RB had 61 carries. Obviously, some depth would be great, but if Ingram holds up we might just need Whittington as a change of pace and Young/Johnson can handle end-of-game clean up.

    Any one have any data on the number of GTs that announce post-Spring? RB-specific numbers would be even better. Then we should argue over expectations.

    I'm a bit more bullish: - QB - Big 12 championship level - RB - 9-win level (assuming luck on health) - WR - Big 12 championship level - TE - Good but not a strength (Brewer was good as a fish and Leitao has been in the program for 2 seasons.) - OL - Big 12 championship level (Replacing mediocre guys with higher upside guys, plus Hand.) - DL - 9-win level (Too much returning experience here to think there will be a big drop off.) - LB - Lots of work to do - CB - 9-win level (Too much talent for me to expect a huge drop off, maybe should have gone with 'Good'.) - S - National championship level - K/P- Big 12 championship level (If you added return teams, I would drop it down to '9-wins', but think we have a lot of upside in our two young kickers.)

    I also remember there was a lot of satya-ing when we hadn't offered Sylvester. No one seems to care him or Wright anymore, with our (better) targets now established. Maybe Giles is smart rather than lazy by letting the market sort itself out before he is required to actually expend some energy. It's damn hard to come up with good superhero-to-athlete matches and it's obvious his Photoshop work has improved as the number of targets has decreased.
  15. rickyspub
    Well that escalated quickly...
  16. rickyspub
    So is a GT running back the sprinkles?
  17. rickyspub
    Interesting info. There are probably enough backroom Paterno ghost dick suckers in the NFL to make that a positive position in certain circles, but a lush might not pass muster. Cap'n Rumlin also had several (supposed) close brushes with the NFL that came to naught.
  18. rickyspub
    Surly takeaway: Giles would rather chat up recruit edit-makers rather than actual recruits.
  19. rickyspub
    Of course his hands are completely obscured...
  20. rickyspub
    3.) Rhule races off to the NFL next season and he is relegated back to being a Twitter fluffer.
  21. rickyspub
    Stop shitting on his talent! His traits are better than any of their traits. His traits can't be described as just 'good'. I guess 'great' would be OK, but anything short of 'generational' is to disrespect him.
  22. rickyspub
    You spoils it with 'wraps'! Gives it to us raw and wriggling! You keep nasty 'wraps'. #GloryHoleGang

    I don't know, someone has to taste and confirm the quality of those vomit-flavored Jelly Belly's.

    Now let's get a GT RB. I am guessing we are waiting until Spring camps shake loose a pissed off grad looking for more PT.

    Gotdam, even the double post gets SLO'Nealed!
