  1. It’s easy to fall in love with a box score (Cam Cook) but this guy is a legit sized back with breakaway speed. He is going to level up very well like Hardy at Missouri this year.
  2. My reason for optimism is that we were so bad at the position that it will be difficult to see a lower floor if we spend the same amount of money. Even if we just sign two random guys for 500k we are likely to see improvement and spend less. So basically my optimism is mostly around the fact that we had done such a poor job that just resetting the room has a high probability of improving the situation, even if incompetence is part of the process.
  3. We had the worst RB room in the SEC despite spending more than 2M on players. Thats an indictment on Choice’s evaluations and our allocation of resources. It had to be torn down to the studs and rebuilt. This is a great development for Texas.
  4. I encourage everyone to listen to the latest IT podcast on how we replace Wisner. They go over his advanced stats which were among the worst in all of college football.

    A million dollars could quite literally buy you 10 running backs the equivalent of Wisner.

    If you believe in things like advanced metrics (yards after contact, breakaway speed) people would realize we had the 16th best running back room in the SEC. It was time for an entire rebuild down to the studs.
  7. He’s not that good, IMO. Watch the games at TCU last year when he got demoted to second team.
  8. Newy25 replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
    His agent wanted 1M for next year, per Bobby Burton. That’s absolutely fucking laughable to me.
  9. He graded out as one of the worst running backs in the SEC this year. That makes total sense. Hopefully he enjoys his 175k playing for a Big 12 team.

    Jesus Christ our fans sometimes. Losing Wisner is not even close to a disaster. Everyone get a fucking hold of themselves.
  11. This broadcast seems modestly over commercialized.
  12. The tough part there is when he was the starter at TCU he was kind of terrible. He had to go a level down to be productive. That should be a huge red flag.
  13. It definitely looks like we will have several good options at linebacker. Very encouraging to see Sark clear some expensive contracts from the books.
