  1. Friendly reminder that projected first round draft pick Nik Bonito (FCB) will be going up against Christian Jones. And OU’s strength is their run D. I don’t think we get blown out, but we are only 3 weeks removed from the Ark debacle. Hopefully we put on a great showing for these recruits. Fuck OU
  2. That is in fact the case. But very few kids make that cut. It essentially requires an equivalent sat score of 1550 (out of 1600) or act of 34. For reference, you can get 90% of out of state tuition waived at UArk with a 26 ACT I think.
  3. No school has benefited more from UT’s admissions standards than Arkansas. I graduated HS in Austin in 2017, and I have more friends at Ark than any other big 12 school. Ark gives in state tuition to Texas kids with qualifying SAT/ACT scores. I know people at Ark who pay only 8k in tuition for a whole academic year. for kids that don’t make the cut at UT and A&M (and some prefer ark over A&M), ark is a much better option and TTu or Texas state. The growing number of Texas kids at Ark should make for a great rivalry once we switch over (and a crazy atmosphere on September 11)
  4. This is a good point. Whether or not we’ve “figured out” NIL is irrelevant because recruits aren’t getting NIL money, they’re getting bags. It feel likes our staff thought NIL could replace the bag game, but that isn’t the case. It’s not like Oregon wasn’t recruiting well pre-NIL. See the Kavon Thinedauex recruitment. Mario Cristobol has been playing the bag game since he was at Bama and he brought it to Oregon. still, winning games and putting players in the draft could fix most of our problems.
  5. For a whole decade, we’ve been underperforming, losing to worse teams, and the 5 stars we sign don’t get drafted highly. We get so invested in these recruitments that we become blind to the fact that it’s pretty easy to recruit against us. Fix the problems above and recruiting will sort itself out. Don’t expect a new coach bump when the last two coaches have flamed out.
  6. To be honest I don’t remember, but I don’t think they were as stern in their predictions as IT. IT has been way off this cycle, and roach just loves to ride the fence and be noncommittal
  7. This. TFB was the first to mention Sark back in December and we all disregarded that. They seem to be the only site with the slightest clue right now.
  8. Still no crystal ball movement. Fong doesn’t have a pick in. This feels weird, similar to Cam and Hullaby.
  9. Just clicking through the classes, most of the top 15 haven’t gotten a meaningful commit since visits opened. The main exception being the Polynesian LB that picked notre dame.
  10. It doesn’t seem like many people are committing anywhere right now. Dominos probably won’t start falling until this wave of officials ends, and even then our season will largely dictate the quality of our class.
  11. I don’t know how anyone can foster any pessimism in this thread right now. A couple months ago I thought we were doomed for another season of Shaka while we really let the wheels come off before axing him. We’ve upgraded to a championship head coach and he’s recruited the best roster I can remember at Texas. The Chris Beard era is fucking here. Hook em
  12. He did. USC OV is canceled. Also said he would be taking an OV in the fall. This and the Bear visit give me good feelings that we’re at least playing the game.
  13. After working on finance homework all night, I was hoping to come see celebration on the board after the big day, only to find this garbage debate. But I’ll throw fuel on the fire. Both finance and Econ can be hard. Personally, I hate Econ because it’s too conceptual while finance has more real applications. I think mccombs is more challenging because you deal with all business coursework and don’t get the liberal arts fluff. Also, there’s much more competition in mccombs because classes are built to have low grades and then get curved. Now, school is a shell of what it used to be pre-covid. Students somehow bitched their way into getting pass/fail options for easy virtual classes. Next years freshmen and sophomores will be in for a rude awakening. sorry to shit post. All gas, no brakes. Fuck ou
  14. IT posted an article where Tamar Bates says recruiting is trending well. I don’t have, but I assume/hope it’s in reference to Bediako
  15. We have one more year in the drum. Itd be hard to cut ties with Shaka this year. Covid year, snow storms, money, etc. It makes more sense to let him fall flat on his face next year and axe him then. Then we can break in a new coach and stadium together
  16. I am fed up with Shaka and have been for years. I thought this might be the year where talent and experience outshine bad coaching, silly me. Our best roster under Shaka is still getting swept by Tech in a down year for them. Coaching is the difference. Unfortunately, I don’t see us firing Shaka yet. I feel like we roll into next year with Shaka at the helm and a roster much worse than this year. We’ll cut ties in 2022 after another underwhelming season to drum up some hype with a new coach before opening Moody center.
  17. Taylor is the daughter of former Texas OL coach Stacy Searels. She went to HS in Austin
  18. Tom Loy (Lead ND guy on 247) logged a crystal ball for Abiara to UT with 5 confidence. Roach and Nick Harris logged Lawrence CB’s for UT with confidence 7
  19. I’m on mobile and not sure how to paste, but it’s mainly a non update. Says Golding is the lead for DC but also mentioned Arnett and Ash. It hyped up banks as a recruiter. Sark met with some letterman and they liked him.
  20. I’ll accept losing quality tight ends if it means we start actually landing the elite WR’s in state
  21. UT canceled fan attendance tonight so I doubt they introduce him to the crowd
  22. P Terry’s is cheap so that’s nice. Better than In and Out in every way, but Whataburger is supreme
  23. I’m not hopping off the Urban train. Mainly because my source has indicated that if the Urban deal doesn’t get done, Tom will be back. He also indicated that CDC’s seat is gonna get hot if this doesn’t happen. I don’t see this saga ending for a few weeks
  24. Anyone know when the team normally flies to road games? I’m wondering if they’ve left for Manhattan yet
  25. Haven’t read the thread today. Are we happy or sad right now and why?
