  1. You must have been born after the Mack Brown days. I remember we got something ridiculous like 15-17 commitments over Jr day one year.
  2. Fuck, I keep trying to go to bed…. And now Baxter is hitting us with ellipses.
  3. He’s a massive kid. Flood has been on him from the start. He seems like a great program guy as well. Put him in the weight room and let Flood work his magic. With last years class, he can take 2-3 years to develop his body to become a 6’7 machine.
  4. Let’s fucking go. We’re going to have plenty of speed guys in Thompson, Hall, Niblett, Cook. He likes players that can win 1 on 1s and can be mismatches. If he’s the floor for this WR class, then it going to be a good fucking class.
  5. Maybe not the thread for it, but how have the BMDs in your circle reacted to Arch. So much of recruiting is momentum and results tend to drive more interest and money whether it’s for facility upgrades, etc. With Arch on board, do you anticipate the boosters doing what they can to help bring in a #1 type class? Despite 5-7, there’s a lot to sell to the elite recruits right now. They will play in the SEC in their 2nd year it looks like, facilities all upgraded, coaches that have developed NFL talent at other stops, and now NiL opportunities. Texas had a lot to overcome the last few years. With Arch on board, it feels like things can ignite and this class can take off and hopefully accelerate our trajectory they way Simms/Redding did for us.
  6. In all of this, our best players on the roster are getting massive NiL deals like Bijan, Worthy, DMO. If we’re offering recruits NiL, we’re giving it to the entire position group like TE and OL. Aggy instead gave their incoming freshman massive deals. It’s going to be a fun locker room when someone of those kids don’t develop and the current players are wondering where their deals are when a backup is getting paid.
  7. Langi can stay here as long as he wants, regardless of coach. The dude seems to love Texas.
  8. If we somehow we get Anthony Hill, Baxter, Cook to commit in the next month, people are going to want to jump on board.
  9. So our potential class on offense is looking like: QB: Arch RB: Baxter, Wisner WR: Cook, Niblett, MHP. I would hold off on taking any more commitments here. Get Peyton/Eli make a few phone calls with Arch to some 5 star national recruits and you’re going to get everyone’s attention. This class can be sick at WR. Keep recruiting Hale and Pettaway though the end and see who else calls OL: Stroh, Chatman, Cojoe. I would keep going after Heard and look nationally. TE: Randle, Shannon, and put the hard sell on Duce Robinson. Who knows, maybe he wants to catch passes from a Manning. Regardless of who ends up in this class, the offense is going to have some big time players.
  10. Solid addition to Burrell. I think if we can lock down the edge guys and close out with Anthony Hill… this will be a a hell of a class on defenses.
  11. It's a black 2015 Mercedes CLA 250. Has a little under 80k miles on it. Interior is spotless. Back bumper has a little scrape that really isn't noticeable. We didn't care to fix it since it's not all that noticeable but easily can be touched up. Was going to tell the buyer we'll knock off a bit off the price incase they wanted to fix it themselves. Kelly Blue Book said 18k. Dealership is offering us 12. Carmax 15. Haven't tried Carvana yet. My friend said they got the best offer from Carvana. Might try that next just to get it off my hands.
  12. I got a 18-19k Kelly blue book value and comparable vehicles with model and mileage are selling for 23-24k. The dealership offered us 12 lol. I’ve never sold a car so just hoping I don’t get scammed somehow.
  13. Ordered a car in April looks like it will be delivered 1st week of July. Now if I would stop getting lowballed for the trade in of the current vehicle.
  14. Believe it or not, but that’s the perception among almost all the recruits right now. Based on nothing but their 8-4 season, same team that almost lost to Colorado last year. With that said, don’t fool your self. They are recruiting at a level higher than any program right now. Blame this program, the players, the coaches, etc for letting it get to this point. Hopefully we can have a good season, enter the SEC next year, and beat them on the field to change the narrative. The players we brought in offensively this off season is a step in the right direction. I have no doubt we will recruit at an elite level on that side of the field. I have serious doubts about our defense and our ability to get impact players there. Let’s see…
  15. I love it. I’m hoping he has a killer year and heads to the league. If he wasn’t made out of glass, I would use him like Alvin Kamara. He was the best RB on the roster his freshman year and looked better than Ingram as a true freshman in practice. With his running ability and ability to catch, he would be so dangerous in the backfield. I still think Hall, if he can live up to his potential, would be a much better fit and deep threat in the slot. He’s got NFL size right now. With that said, I’m loving where this WR roster is. We went from a bunch of spares to a group with elite physical ability.
  16. So I'm very curious to see how Ajiye Hall does this summer and fall. I know some posters here basically implied not to expect him to contribute or even be on the roster long term but this is a guy Sark needs to get in the starting line up asap. I'm a huge JWhit fan but I think you're really going to stress defenses if you have Worthy and Neyor on the outside with Hall in the slot. Those 3 guys are 4.4 or faster. Neyor and Hall have size to go along with speed that make them huge mismatches. Hall was a guy beating 1 on 1 matchups against the Bama DBs during their spring and he was wide open on a lot routes against UGA in the championship game.... as a freshman...
  17. Yup, not sure if he was the guy but I assumed it was Kerstetter as well. Basically implied that the veteran OL was complaining about the workouts.
  18. Yup, they will obviously scheme help on his side. The question, can the other OL hold up with their matchups…
  19. No, I’m simply thinking of how we can create our best defense based on our 11 best personnel. I’d go with 4-2-5 nickel or 4-1-6 dime look and try to keep those DL and DBs on the field. I’d keep our edge guys and LBs off the field. If we’re going to be facing air raid teams, I’d prefer Heacock’s or Orlando’s dime look instead of a 3-3-5.
  20. Honestly, we just need to get the best 11 on the field. 3-3-5 is going to be a stupid fucking scheme once again when we have no LBs. I remember Elko basically running 4 DTs on their line a few years ago and we laughed but they were stout against the run. Seems like we don’t have a single pass rusher. This is what I would do. DE- Collins DT- Murphy DT- Sweat/Coburn DE- Ojomo/Ovie LB - Ford LB- DMO Nickel- Barron CB - Watts CB- Jameson S- Cook S- Crawford Those are probably the best players on this team. Just get them on the field. We absolutely should not be seeing any edge or additional LBs on the field until they can prove they can actually make an impact and not be a complete liability. Collins, Murphy, Sweat are probably our best pass rushers despite being interior DL. Just get them on the field. That would be a big ass DL and most offenses would struggle to run against them. On passing downs, pray you can cover long enough on the back end for those guys to get to the QB.
  21. Right after Owens committed to Texas, his dad did an interview and flat out said that it's early and that Reuben would be taking his officials and his recruitment is not over. This would be his potential 2nd commitments before his senior year. It's pretty obvious what will be the deciding factor in this recruitment. With Bijan poised to have a monster year, it really should be quite easy to sell a 17 year old to come in. I'm not worried at all and honestly, they should be going all in on Baxter. The sell should be... get a bunch of usage, get prepped for the NFL, and oh yeah... drive a lambo while you're here. Oh yeah, you may also be hanging out with the Manning family while you're here.
  22. Looks like some people are so used to the 260 lb OL Herman liked to recruit that we’ve forgotten that football is a game of moving people. Give me the 350lb behemoth. We’ve already seen what our current small OL looked like again Arkansas. Flood likes bigger guys for a reason. I think it’s probably easier to get a guy like Cam Williams to lose weight than get a guy like Karic or Majors to put on weight.
  23. This team needs to show up prepared this summer if they want any chance to win this game. Bijan and Rojo need to hold every player accountable and set the standard of what’s expected this summer and fall. Fuck Bama, I’m still pissed about 09. That putrid aggy team beat them last year. We have enough talent to score on them and we still have some damn good athletes on defense in Collins, Sweat, Overshown, Murphy, Watts. Crowd needs to show up and this team and these coaches need to prove they can take the next step. Hopefully these guys put in the work this summer.
  24. Fuck, more depressing than the 11 am kick off is seeing the 1st and 3rd game are on the LHN.
