Per Gerry, Tyanthony Smith is setting up an OV to Texas. Will either be for the Tech game or potentially a midweek visit after the season depending on his playoff schedule.

I hope Anthony Hill is his host lol.

To maximize his initial NFL contract he needs to stay, put on weight, get stronger, and show some durability.  Who's going to draft a guy high who has missed or been knocked out of multiple games every year he's played football?

the injuries are not the same - clavicle injury due to Turner's dirty hit and a sprained AC joint != nagging hamstring injuries or multiple ACL tears or wrist injuries

they type of injury matters as does how they got hurt. not like they were noncontact injuries

How deep of a run is Jasper expected to go? 

I see they play Kobe Black this week and if they win potentially Cuero next week.

[Frank Drebin 5660]

My brother in law used to be the DC at Jasper, coached Smith, and he is close friends with coach Barbay.  I will see if I can dig up anything.

I almost never have any inside sources on anything.

how can anyone take him returning/not seriously when he has 3-4 games left. potentially 33% of his season still to play (he's played in  games so far)

he isn't making a final decision to come back today, no matter what any of these dudes say.

The better draft guys have Ewers currently as a late 2nd to 3rd round guy. Early in the season they had him ranked as potentially the 3rd QB in the draft. He's behind several others now.

my point is he has 33% of his season potentially left to play and very easily could be the 3rd QB behind Williams and Maye still.

if he makes a decision today about coming back that's only because his shoulder is injured and he doesn't want to negatively impact his season

I think it's unlikely he quells any questions about his abilities to hit deep passes or stay healthy in 4 games.

Whether he stays or not he still has been knocked out of and missed every season he’s played up ‘till now.  Maybe he makes it through next year injury free,  maybe not.  An injury next year could lower his position even more.

Anyway,  I’m just guessing.

[Reese Bennett 3608]

Sanders, I think, is gone. He has some crazy good catches in traffic this year.

He has been much better on the deep ball this season, particularly in the last 3 or so games he has played. He has dropped a number of them in the bucket to Worthy and Mitchell. 

 

[NYBevo 1699]

Anyone leaving this year also has to go to that big 12 conjoined combine. May want to wait a year just to avoid that.

[Vertigo 20276]

Is that a requirement? I am pretty sure Texas will just do it's own thing since we will no longer be B12 once the season ends.

Oh, yeah. He's for sure gone. He's consistently the second TE on the board after Bowers. He's going late first/early second in most mocks.

[kevwun 15766]

They have no way to force players to go to the Big XII combine.  I doubt they can actually stop Texas or OU from having their own Pro Day either.

We should schedule it in direct competition with the B12 pro day just to fuck with them. 

[BurntOrange&White 39930]

Interesting point brought up by Justin Wells regarding Kobe Black is that his brother Korie still has a covid year remaining. He's mentioned this a few times already.

Could his brother hit the portal and change positions to safety at whatever school Kobe ends up at? Does he have good speed? 

 

Wardell Mack and Filsaime apparently have become close and text frequently.

He's still inconsistent.

He was close to having a 2 or 3 more passing TDs.

Brooks got tripped up on the short pass he took 73 yards.

Worthy just barely stepped out of bounds on one.

Worthy tripped over his own feet on that dime Quinn dropped.

Don't remember if he got his one passing TD on any of the drives above.

[Atticus 3973]

The only pass you listed that would be considered a deep ball is the one over the top to worthy where he lost his balance instead of running in for a TD.

yeah he still had some ugly ducks, the pick and a couple over the middle to Mitchell.  Granted, Mitchell quit on them but they were not what I would call NFL quality

Quinn's biggest improvement from 2022 to 2023 is in the intermediate (10-20 yards).  He went from a 50% passer in the intermediate in 2022 to over seventy (71.4%) in 2023.

Deep balls he has almost the same completion percentage (30.8 completion in 2022 - 33.3 in 2023).

He's actually completing fewer "Big Time Throws" (what PFF calls 'NFL type' throws deeper and into tighter windows)in 2023.  8 this season compared to 19 last year.  Part of that is Quinn taking fewer risks and completing the check-downs. 

2023:

 

2022:

[Atticus 3973]

Are you agreeing with me? I fully agree with the belief that Quinn is inconsistent in deep ball throwing when compared to other high level college QBs and even average NFL starting QBs.

The deep out he threw to Worthy was a much harder pass to complete.

[RockyMountainHighHorn 890]

If he can’t get confidence from his last throw of the game(even though it was mostly AD), I don’t know what to tell ya. Russell threw the same thing last night and Ewers looked better. Let them run under it but remember worthy can’t touch grass so there’s no dive in his catch radius so cut his back a couple feet. 

[Shaddie 1651]

Not sure if this has been mentioned. 
 

Jimbo’s next job is at UT. 1 mil per year.

Talk of confidence keeps coming up this year for Ewers.  
I hope he's able to end the season on a major upswing.

We’ll see. The services really don’t like to move up senior QBs no matter how much ass they’re kicking. If he gets a low 4 star rating from ESPN, Rivals, 247, or On3 I’ll be mildly surprised.

Aren't they losing like 20 guys to the draft & heck even their HC to the Chicago Bears?

Yea they have like 17 Seniors and Super Seniors starting, not to mention McCarthy will more than likely declare for the draft. They’ll still be a decent team I’m sure but they won’t be in the same ballpark of the team they are this year.

Exactly what I was thinking. Only way I could get on board with him in that role with us would be to have a ceremony out on the field each time he lands a big fish (or beats aggy in a H2H recruiting fight) where we hand him a giant check from the 12th Man Foundation, without whom none of this would be possible.

I'm guessing the Kobe news is that after months of sitting on a silent commitment for no reason, he's going to continue to sit on the silent commitment for no reason.
