There are longstanding rumors that Chip Brown is your typical old school sports reporter. By that, I mean he's allegedly a degenerate gambler and alcoholic. There's a longstanding rumor that Chip

I understand if Herman is an NFL analyst because he wants to take a step back and collect his buyout money without having to work 24/7.  It probably feels better for his ego than being an analyst in college for guys he thinks should be below him, too.  

However, I don’t see any reason at all to think Herman translates as an NFL coach long term.  He’d have to completely reinvent basically everything about the way he coaches.    

Yeah, it starts with his offense.  You can't run a qb the way he does in the NFL.  They will never make it through a full season.  Then there's his personality and the way he treats players.  He really is a terrible fit for the NFL.

Not that Herman’s offense would be successful the the NFL (it would be a train-wreck), but this isn’t really true. Lamar Jackson and Cam Newton have both been their teams primary rushing threat for most of their careers. And they have both won MVPs.

I’m honestly not sure if it’s good or bad that Card keeps working with these private QB tutors.   Every once in a while they post highlights of these drills and it’s showing him apparently cultivating all the potentially bad habits we saw in the spring game.  Here he is holding the ball forever (and then we see him take a ton of sacks in the spring game, not all of them on the OL), there was one clip last spring of him scrambling around like a madman at a full sprint and heaving wild bombs (and then we see in the spring game how he tucks the ball when he escapes the pocket and runs so out of control he can’t even really get a throw off on the run when real defenders are chasing him), etc.

I don’t know.  He’s apparently advanced in a lot of areas so he’s probably been well coached, but some of this stuff with the private tutor in particular seems weird

I'm sure most QB's are doing these kinds of drills in the off-season with various other QB "gurus."

National 247 writer Kevin Flaherty on Big XII best case scenarios: https://247sports.com/college/texas/LongFormArticle/best-case-scenario-for-every-Big-12-team-2021-Spencer-Rattler-Bijan-Robinson-Lincoln-Riley-165730619/#165730619_1

TEXAS WINS THE BIG 12

Bijan Robinson

Here’s where there will probably be some controversy. Why Texas? Keep in mind that the Longhorns weren’t that far off from reaching the Big 12 title game last year, losing three games, all by three regulation points or fewer. For that, Texas ran coach Tom Herman, and hired Steve Sarkisian, whose job it will be to get the Longhorn offense operating at its talent level. Casey Thompson looked like the guy in lighting up Colorado in the bowl game, but Hudson Card could be the more talented option. Whoever gets the nod will have Bijan Robinson taking handoffs and a solid group of wide receivers. If the defense can see some of its young playmakers (like Alfred Collins) emerge — remember, this is a best-case scenario — Texas could reach the Big 12 title game. And at that point, the Longhorns would be just one game away.

I also wonder how Sark feels about Card leading the team against two solid teams in Louisiana & Arkansas. I imagine those games will be decently competitive in-front of huge crowds. Casey at least has a small amount of meaningful reps at the college level & appears to be a more vocal leader. Man im ready for some football, I’m about to bodyslam my roommate through a China cabinet.

im not defending Card but he does not have happy feet in any of those clips. he is resetting and staying in an athletic stance so he is ready to throw the ball.  its what you want your QB to do as he is sliding around the pocket and going through his progressions.

Yep, constant movement around the pocket is the literal purpose of the drill

(Mike Roach) Longhorns' summer enrollees set to join program this weekend

Spoiler

Several members of the 2021 signing class are already on campus as part of the Texas roster.

Ray Thornton, Jamier Johnson, JD Coffey, Derrick Harris Jr., Terrence Cooks, Jaden Alexis, Hayden Conner, Juan Davis, Darion Dunn Gunnar Helm, Charles Wright and Isaac Pearson all took part in spring training while several stood out.

The rest of the Texas signing class will arrive next week as twelve more high school signees and three new transfers arrive to infuse some talent into Steve Sarkisian's program. Some will be called on to play right away while others will likely redshirt and look to be factors in the future of the program.

Horns247 was able to see many of these prospects in high school, and we've talked to our national sources to get the lowdown on those we didn't. What is Texas getting in their incoming prospects? We give you the latest.

Ja'Tavion Sanders, 5-star ATH, Denton Ryan

The crown-jewel of the Texas class arrives on campus with some positional ambiguity, but it shouldn’t take long for the Texas staff to sort them out. A dangerous edge rusher with great athleticism and pass rush ability, Sanders is also a credible threat as an offensive weapon. He could line up at tight end or in the flex position on offense. Sanders is still raw from a technique standpoint on both sides of the ball, but his raw athleticism is good enough to get him on the field early.

Xavier Worthy, 4-star WR, Fresno (Calif.) Central East

A late addition to the class, Worthy was released from his Letter of Intent with Michigan after signing with the Wolverines in February. A true burner with elite verified speed (10.55 100 meter, 21.41 200 meter), Worthy should infuse some electric ability where it is sorely needed in the Texas wide receiver room. While Worthy’s frame could use some more physical development, his skillset alone could get him on the field early in a return capacity. As the Longhorns search for answers at the wide receiver position this fall, Worthy could be the quick solution for Steve Sarkisian.

Ishmael Ibraheem, 4-star CB, Dallas Kimball

Ibraheem was one of the top corners in the country when Texas won him over last spring. The south Dallas cover corner has the prototypical frame to build a lockdown corner. With elite quickness and bounce, and Ibraheem has a top-notch skillset. While he will likely need a year or two to add weight to his frame and sharpen his technique and skill. Texas has talent and experience at the cornerback position, so Ibraheem won’t be asked to step into a starting role immediately. If properly developed, Ibraheem has all of the makings of a first-round talent at the cornerback position.

Jordon Thomas, 4-star DE, Port Arthur Memorial

Another high-ceiling prospect with a need for development, Thomas only scratched the surface on his talent during his high school career. Thomas’s length and motor are both on the high end, and his body is a lump of clay just waiting to be molded. Thomas did show great strength at the point of attack and the ability to rush the passer and set the edge against the run. Though he will likely need a redshirt year to polish his technique, Thomas has the type of versatility to line up at different positions and the work ethic to make it happen.

Morice Blackwell, 4-star LB, Arlington Martin

One of the most productive defenders in the country, Blackwell was used in a multitude of ways at the high school level as the Warriors lined him up at linebacker, cornerback and safety on one of the top defenses in the state. With his plus frame and ability to run sideline-to-sideline, Blackwell is the perfect fit to be a Big 12 space-backer who can play in coverage and stop the run. While Blackwell might need some time to add some weight to his frame, a need at linebacker could force him into early duty on special teams or in a reserve role on defense.

Jonathon Brooks, 4-star RB, Hallettsville

Brooks concludes his high school career coming off of one of the most productive seasons in Texas high school history. A versatile runner with incredible vision and balance, Brooks led Hallettsville to the state finals last year with one herculean performance after another. The Texas backfield is loaded with Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson already on campus and Brooks should add some depth to that rotation. He likely won’t be called on to contribute in a major way unless there is an injury, but Brooks has the long term ability to carry the load for the Longhorns.

Byron Murphy, 3-star DT, DeSoto

One of the most underrated pick-ups in the 2021 class, Murphy put on a show in his high school career playing at a dominant level in 6A football. Despite his compact build, Murphy can line up on the nose or at the three-technique and be an interior disruptor. Murphy plays with great strength at the point of attack and a relentless motor. Murphy set the career sack record at a DeSoto program that boasts alumni such as Von Miller. Texas has strong depth at the defensive tackle position so Murphy may not get a look right off the bat. That said, Murphy should be ready to go when called upon.

David Abiara, 3-star DE, Mansfield Legacy

Abiara was a last-minute addition to the Texas class after Bo Davis took over, and he has the upside to be a contributor on the edge. Abiara had a big junior season, but he struggled a bit with consistency at times in his senior season. Abiara still comes to Texas with a strong skillset and frame that could see him play at the five-technique or push inside to defensive tackle with continued growth. The Longhorns don’t seem to have a screaming need for immediate contributors on the defensive line, but Abiara has the size and ability to play rotational minutes if needed right away.

Keithron Lee, 3-star WR, Bryan Rudder

The Longhorns landed Lee on Christmas day, and Lee added some explosive ability to the Texas class. A slot-receiver sized prospect who traditionally played on the outside in high school, Lee showed the ability to go deep and be a ball-winner on the outside. The Longhorns have questions to answer at the wide receiver position, and right now answers could come from anywhere. Lee will have the same chance to make an impact as every other wide receiver on the roster.

Barryn Sorrell, 3-star DL, New Orleans (La.) Holy Cross

Sorrell was an intriguing take for Tom Herman’s staff when they landed him on early signing day. While he’s still developing as a prospect, Sorrell has a strong frame and the ability to play multiple positions up front. While he’s billed as a strong-side defensive end, Sorrell could move inside to the three-technique with continued physical development. Defensive line depth isn’t in a place that calls for early contributors at the moment, but Sorrell could grow into a player down the line with some physical and technical development.

Casey Cain, 3-star WR, New Orleans (La.) Warren Easton

Mike Yurcich and Andre Coleman saw a diamond in the rough in New Orleans wideout Casey Cain. With his large frame and length, Cain fits as an outside receiver who can move the chains and be a threat in the red zone. A redshirt is likely in Cain’s future as he will probably need further physical development to get on the field, but there will be opportunity for pass-catchers to make a mark in fall camp.

Max Merril, 3-star OL, Houston Strake Jesuit

The lone offensive line signee in the 2021 Texas class probably won’t see the field immediately. While the Texas offensive line is still very much a work in progress, it’s unlikely that Merril will factor into the picture right away. Merril is a bit of a project who could be a swing tackle or interior lineman with some time to add size and technique before he's ready for primetime.

TEXAS TRANSFER ADDITIONS
Ben Davis, LB, Alabama

The former five-star has yet to cash in on the potential that saw him pick up a gaggle of offers and rise to be one of the highest-rated recruits in the nation. Davis will get a second chance and a change of scenery as a linebacker who can play in multiple roles at Texas. It’s most likely he will come off the edge as the Texas staff looks to find options to pressure the quarterback in the 2021 season.

Devin Richardson, LB, New Mexico State

Somewhat of a surprise pickup, the former Klein High School prospect is returning to Texas after showing some productivity for the Aggies. Richardson came along as somewhat of a late bloomer who could now be a potential option to fill the Longhorns’ need at inside linebacker.

Ovie Oghoufo, OLB/DE, Notre Dame

Yet another front-seven defender coming to Texas through the transfer portal, Oghoufo is looked at as a prospect who could make a big impact for the Longhorns. An edge rushing prospect who can play in multiple fronts, Oghoufo comes to Texas with some excitement and a few years of eligibility left.

Look at the happy feet Jeff Garcia is teaching in these drills, what an idiot he doesn't know anything about playing QB!
