I get it, but rivals will still say Herman and co had 2 years to develop talented recruits (Strong's classes weren't ranked that low by the media) and didn't produce much. Not saying it's right, but some recruits may listen.

Agree that winning games fixes all this though and the 2018 class should produce some high picksĀ 

Winning games and guys making their teams andĀ sticking in the Pros. Ā

Wow, how did Texas beat that SEC Georgia team stacked with NFL talent? Ā Seems like a good sales pitch. Ā 

Calling attention to the fact that jawja is 'stacked with NFL talent' is not a good sales pitch, regardless of 28-21. Getting drafted high and making good $$$ is what the top recruits ultimately care about.

Those recruits will be well aware of it from negative recruiting. Ā You really have a good idea to just hope they havenā€™t heard. Ā Glad Tom is handling this and not Debbie Downer. Ā  But you be you. Ā

So you guys are complaining that Charlie Strong didnā€™t recruit early roundĀ NFL draft caliber players? Hmm, maybe we should fire him..

How many fucking aggy's were drafted from a team that was a few plays and some timely ref calls away from barely being bowl eligible. The NFL sucks donkey dick and part of the reason is because they can't see their tiny peens from behind all that 'tradition'. A league that keeps Jeff Fisher around for decades can't be filled with too many sharp minds. It will take us winning big or another Poona or two coming out of this year's UDFA class to wag the dog back in favor of our guys.

This. Some of you guys are delusional if you think winning trumps making it to the league to recruits.

There were 160 players drafted before a Longhorn this year, many of them coming from worse situations than the current one at UT. Remember Sheldrick Redwine? He had 3 HC's at Miami. He was drafted before all our higher ranked DB's. Sioux Falls, Old Dominion, Delaware, Charlotte, Alabama State are just of the inferior schools thatĀ had players drafted in the first three rounds.

Three years out from Strong's departure, I don't think it's asking much to develop one or two of the 2020 guys into Day 1/2 picks.

I get the feeling that people see winning 10 games with few draftable upperclassmen as a positive for the 2019 season/testament to the coaching quality, not necessarily recruiting. Also, you're right that Redwine had three head coaches, but one of them was an interim. Of course you know that, but you're a pessimist who enjoys wallowing in misery.Ā

Bruh ManĀ used to watch Alabama videos that utilized speed ramps and effects from MTV cribs and complain about how our videos production value could affect recruiting. He looks for storm clouds.Ā

You are the poster you quoted. A bleeding vagina on this board.Ā 

You were all sunshine when Charlie was here, but now that we have an actual football coach, all you do so bitch and moan. The program is in a much better place than when Charlie was here and yet you canā€™t find a shred of optimism unlike howĀ you could when the worst coach in Texas history was in charge.

Oh yeah? Then why donā€™t you talk about that during the season instead of wondering if A&M winning a game is going to hurt our ā€œmomentum.ā€Ā

Weren't you the guy with a stick up his ass lecturing us about how there are no "moral victories" and the only thing that mattered was winning games so how dare we discuss anything else?Ā Now winning games doesn't matter either. Goal posts moved.

There are always weird decisions in the draft. Butler is better than Arcega-Whiteside in my mind, but was picked more than a full round later.

The NFL has been moving to shorter, quicker wideouts for a while now. 3 cone and short shuttle are just as important as 40. Butler doesnā€™t have much wiggle.Ā

And itā€™s facilitated by the rules not allowing hitting anymore. Ā Back in my day those little hobbits would be separated from their helmets and the ball on a lot of those little in routes Ā Ā

Except that commode was already broken. Warhime broke one.
Wasn't it kind of a done deal he was going to Stanford no matter and they threw a hail Mary at him anyhow?

That was a long time ago and can't recall.

so aggy is beating their chests over their coaches wasting talented players? got it.

Now that the draft is over...it is worth looking at conference comparisons...

SEC: 64 ~4.57 per team
Alabama (10)
Georgia (7)
Texas A&M (7)
Auburn (6)
Ole Miss (6)
Florida (5)
Kentucky (5)
Miss St (5)
LSU (3)
So Carolina (3)
Arkansas (3)
Missouri (2)
Vandy (2)
Tennessee (0)
SEC West bolded.

7 SEC West Teams: 40 drafted. ~5.7 players per team
Alabama (10)
Texas A&M (7)
Auburn (6)
Ole Miss (6)
Miss St (5)
LSU (3)
Arkansas (3)


BigXII: 26 Drafted in the BDF = 2.6 per team

OU (8)
W Va (5)
TCU (3)
Iowa St (2)
K-State (2)
Okie State (2):
Texas (2):
Tech (1)
Baylor (1)
Kansas (0)

OU with almost 1/3 picks from the BXII. Add WVa, and that isĀ HALFĀ of their NFL picks.
Some clown on texags posted this.Ā  I'm sure they will be buying ads at the Austin airport to brag about it.Ā  I'm not sure more than 2 of those aggy draftees will be around by the time the first game is played.

I think both Keke and Sternberger will make my Packers opening day roster.

We will lucky to have more than 1 or 2 people drafted.Ā 

Collin Johnson and Brandon Jones but both will be very late rounds. WR just donā€™t have the value anymore, and Jones will need a big year.Ā 

I think Jones will go high; 2nd or 3rd round. He's going to test really well.Ā

I disagree on Johnson; I think he'll be picked in the first four rounds.

Tall slow WRs don't get drafted high anymore. This was evident a couple of years ago whenĀ Equanimeous St. Brown, Auden Tate, Allen Lazard, Jaleel Scott, and Marcell Ateman all fell in the same draft

I think Arcega-Whiteside is different, as he's ridiculously physical

What kind of 40 does CJ run? Can't possibly be as slow as LJH's. If he gets to at least mid 4.5's, he should be ok, but I don't remember what his time range was.

There's no way he gets into the 4.5s. He looks like a 4.7s guy.Ā

LJH was literally the only guy at the combine this year who didn't break 4.7. If Collin can't do that either, heĀ honestly shouldn't run.

Arcega-Whiteside supposedly ran a 4.49 at his pro day, which sounds like bullshit, but that's why big guys should run at their pro days and not at the combine.

If he improves his play on the field from last year and can run a 4.6, then heā€™ll get drafted in the first 3-4Ā rounds. Ā The only reason to run at the combine or pro-day is if heā€™s 100% sure he can run under 4.6Ā and a 4.5 could push him into the 2nd round.

If LJH didnā€™t run due to an ā€œundisclosedĀ injuryā€, he would have probably been a 4-5th rounder just based on film. His film showed quickness and strength...his testing showed horrible quickness and strength. Ā

Clint Buckley sounds like an aggy name.Ā 

Clint Buckley is an East Texas guy --Ā 

From 247:Ā  "Clint joins Horns247 after spending the previous six years as managing editor of East Texas Sports Network (ETSN.fm).Ā  With ETSN, Buckley oversaw the coverage of more than 100 high schools in East Texas.Ā  He covered multiple state championships games in several sports during his time at ETSN. Before that, Buckley was a sports writer at the Tyler Morning Telegraph from 2001-2012. Buckley, a native of Tyler, Texas, is a 2008 graduate of the University of Texas at Tyler where he majored in journalism"

Kind of odd -- Worked at Telegraph 2001-2012 and graduated UT-Tyler 2008???
