  1. There are 4,000 players in the portal. This isn't a Texas problem. Stop.
  2. Dahobbs replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
    Livingstone had the highest drop rate.
  3. I don't really understand why the out of his control comment is being seen so extremely negatively. To me, it is out of his control that his playing time will decrease. I think that is legitimately true. And I think him leaving Texas to pursue more playing time (and money perhaps) is a choice. Both things can be true. I didn't read his comment as an attack, but apparently a lot of people did.
  4. Role players have to be content with playing their role. Parker wasn't. And that's ok.
  5. Are there any real red flags with Coleman? I mean, his QBs have been atrocious, so his production hasn't matched that talent. But he didn't seem to be a negative for Auburn's locker room or anything. The main issue as far as I know is that he is going to be really expensive.
  6. Sure. But to connect that to this thread, in modern college football that experience doesn't need to come from a player you originally recruited. Indiana is literally a team of transfers.
  7. Eh, Thomas played in the NFL and seemed on an upward swing until multiple foot injuries. If Parker could reliably catch, he may have been worth keeping over other prospects. He couldn't do that and doesn't offer the upside that other players do.
  8. I understand your concern. I share it. But Parker isn't the player the panic to over. There are literally thousands of players in the portal. Every team is going to have 10+ defections. Again, if Parker is out so that Lockett gets actual playing time, are you still upset? I wouldn't be. Parker is out because he wanted more playing time and the money that comes with it. It isn't greedy. He isn't wrong for wanting it. But Sark and staff aren't necessarily wrong for pushing down his playing time in favor of players with more upside (and that can catch).
  9. If Parker had elite hands, that would make sense. He doesn't. At all. That's not his strength. Maybe someone thinks they can teach him.
  10. I mean, I think he is correct. We look to be spending big the portal on at least one receiver. We have a multiple young, talented players at receiver. There just isn't room for everyone. I personally wished we focused more on developing our recruits rather than getting splash portal hires. But so far during Sark's tenure I haven't seen much evidence that we 1) can develop receivers or 2) put any real emphasis or effort into it.
  11. His drop rate says otherwise.
  12. You weren't pretty clearly doing anything. You wouldn't even give a straight answer to anyone.
  13. Indiana is a very well coached team with an elite QB. Omar Cooper JR and Elijah Sarratt are very good receivers with NFL futures. Livingstone's questionable hands are going to be a limiter for him if he ends up at Indiana. That's something they'll have to work on.
  14. Yeah, just crazy to want players with elite talents. I really liked Livingstone, but it is plain to see that he doesn't have any elite physical traits. He has ok, but inconsistent hands. An average catch radius. Some speed, but not a burner. He doesn't have elite quickness. His best attributes are that he runs pretty good routes and knows where to be. Don't get me wrong, it is good to have those sorts of players around. But they shouldn't be a top 3 receiver on a national title contending team. The bigger issue is Sark's refusal to play more receivers. It is why we don't have any development from our young recruits and instead constantly have to portal in experienced receivers. He desperately needs to expand his rotation. One of the things I very much liked from PK was how much we subbed in young players on defense. Sometimes he got a bit too aggressive with it on key downs, but for the most part it was a huge positive for his defenses over the course of a season.
  15. 2 weeks ago Quan questioned whether it made sense that Gideon would leave a DC position to come back.
