CTJ is so pleasant now that he is taking Valium and SarCams.

Great news!

True, but if he consistently brought in lower-ranked classes than did most other schools in the conference for multiple years, the strength of the data increases a bit.

Elko to Cincy would be good for the lulz, but I'd rather see Aranda move on if I got a vote.

Good thing they have a 5* OT OG coming in to help out playing OT as a true FR. Should help them continue their dominance over the Bama, Clemson, LSU, and (now also UGA) DL.

Maybe this thread isn’t the best place to make assertions about religion(s). That and politics will ruin a conversation or a thread in a hurry.

Their crowing about beating us in recruiting after finishing behind us shows how pointless it would be to play them. They are too stupid to see any outcome as reason to STFU.

Glad he found a landing spot.

They needed a serviceable cb badly enough that they had to take him and hope. They were at Leah/ Obi Wan levels of desperation.

Agree. I would put the o/u at 23.5. We will have a core of guys locked down before the season and be in on more. By then we will have processed out a few guys. I would take the over, btw.

Yes.

OSU ranked rather unfavorably in most OL categories at this outsiders analysis. The only above average rating I saw was calculated entirely on having passing yardage, with no accounting in that stat for avoiding pressure, etc.

I've paid my duesTime after timeI've done my sentenceBut committed no crimeAnd bad mistakes I've made a fewI've had my share of sand kicked in my faceBut I've come through So I moved overseas and tried to get jobs through the back door.

That was such a (by Texas standards, to initial appearances) lackluster class, I guess I hallucinated and suppressed a bit of reality. I thought I remembered Leitao’s being higher ranked than that. What a steal was Cosmi! I choose to hold out some hope for the guys on your depth list.

Some b12 programs and a few comparisons on the composite: (rank and avg) Texas #3 91.84 OU #6 91.20 (heavily weighted toward offense— WR class is nails) USC #18 88.43 ————————————— teams with average rounding to 86 TCU #32 86.27 Baylor #35 85.95 OKie lite #37 86.01 ISU #46 85.57 —————————————\teams with average rounding to 86 WVU #47 85.13 Vanderbilt #56 84.40 Rutgers #60 84.44 KSU #61 83.99 Kansas #64 84.29 SMU #68 83.67 Tech #70 84.24 UNT #82.83 So basically, we averaged 92, OU 91, and the rest of the conference 84-86. We talk about how Kansas is hopeless, how Leslie is in an untenable position because of his predecessor, and how screwed they are, but it is Tech that is in desperate need of a great honeymoon class in 20. They are below Kansas in average and total rankings. Their average is fractionally better than SMU, but their class rank is worse— not far actually from UNT’s.

About the only time Herman seemed defensive in that presser was answering about Hand. It was like he went out of his way not to compliment him too much and possibly therefore be seen as critical of Warehime. Also, the response he gave Bohls about how many would be contributors seemed like there was an unspoken (and much relished by Herman) f-you: “Some.”

No kidding. Not breakaway speed but very elusive in traffic.

Idk whether Warehime has photos, is a key part of the talent evaluation braintrust, just benefits from loyalty and desire for staff continuity, or what. 12 games ago I’d have nearly flipped my lid. Now I’m willing to wait a bit more patiently to see how things continue to develop.

Welcome, Javonne! Hook’em!

Factor in the typical unexciting classes in transition years, and Urbs is going to need to lots of help by way of JuCo and grad transfers. His next solid homegrown line won’t start to see the field until at least 22 or 23.

Yeah I think there was mainly not so much shitting on him as lamenting the drama and risk he represents. He proved the posters wrong by going back in time and not getting suspended from his HS team and then signing the only outstanding LOI from the 2019 recruiting class at Texas with no aggy cap in sight. He is a physical freak. He is only a teenager. He is a Horn now. I think we all want it to work out with him. But let’s not pretend he was or is just like every other guy in the class in terms of risk.

Sorry. That was directed more at docs. A chest tube is a big fat tube to suck blood or air from between the rib cage and the lungs. You wouldn’t normally have one for a brain clot. We are hashing out what the family means by chest tube. It is entirely possible that his lung got popped (understandably and accidentally) by people caring for him and that he really had a chest tube. I speculated that the family may be calling a “chest tube” what is truly a tube sticking into his chest but would be termed a “central venous line/catheter” or CVL. This can be used for several things, but one is putting a sensor in the bloodstream to take accurate pressure measurements at the heart. These measurements are also often taken in an artery at the wrist. MAP is short for mean arterial pressure. ICP (measured with a probe inside the skull) is intracranial pressure. CPP is cerebral perfusion pressure. If MAP is not enough above ICP, the blood doesn’t get pushed into brain tissue from the arteries up there. Docs monitor these pressures on guys with swollen brains to be able to tweak them with drugs or positioning tricks, know when it is OK to worry less, and know when it may be time to take off a piece of skull to decompress the brain. Pneumo is short for pneumothorax— air between the rib cage and the lung, usually from a popped lung.

He has a known intracranial process. There is the obvious talk of pressure. The classic way to track CPP is MAP - ICP. If the concerns about ICP are waning, having a CVL to keep close track of MAP becomes less important. It is pretty standard to have a CVL early on in cases like this, and it would be a bit unusual for it to be the primary access. It is for CPP management with a peripheral IV for routine access. But I agree we can't know for sure that he doesn't have a pneumo, too.

Not everybody realizes that John Heisman's (yes THAT Heisman) destination school was Rice. He coached there and was AD from 1924-1927. Also little known are some of the former coaches from Southern Miss. Two of the bigger ones: Idi Amin 1963-1968 (29-14-2) went on to coach the Ugandan Military Academy Team 1969-1971 before entering politics J. Warren Jones 1968 (bowl) - 1975 (12-34-1) was unable to build on the success of his predecessor, but is widely credited for improving hydration regimens in athletics. His KoolAid innovations do not technically predate Texas alumnus Robert Cade's Gatorade, but they are still mentioned today.

I'm still not entirely clear how he has a job covering Texas recruiting. It seems like a significant market in desperate need of another qualified and motivated contributor.
