Thanks. I have been on the boards since 1997 when I was a student at Texas. We've spent decades as fans and board patrons feeling powerless to create any real change. The Internet, social media,

I work closely with a certain previously committed 5 star QB's father (hint: its Quinn Ewers, for those who haven't been following recruiting closely like I have) and chatted with him a bit this after

this stadium taki's NSD event has fake Stone Cold, fake Gil Brandt and a bunch of other random dudes.

who is that random ass mascot?

being called a "mini brian dawkins" when he was LISTED at 6' isn't a good thing

I definitely see this as a one time experiment that didn't work...

You have Tapp, Finkley, Brown, and maybe Abor on the edge. I dont think Burke has the ability to drop into space. 

 

He was never the best athlete on the lacrosse field. He used his size to create mismatches. 

Burke has 2 picks for Westlake thus far - including a snatch while pass rushing that had me doing a double take - wow, did he really just pick that off? 

Dude has got arms like teradactyl wings that could result in a lot of batted balls and QB strips.

Someone has not been keeping up with the thread.

Hah, that’s an impossible task this time of year. If they’re trading Jones for Burke, that’s a different story.
Westlake season-ticket holder here.  Burke is long, quick, agile, and plays smart  He swats a lot of passes away and once he gets his hands on a runner, it's usually over.   He's clearly a project due to his leanness, but I thought that Michigan was making a good gamble when they offered.  My concern at UT is position, as I see him more as a 4-3 DE.  For Westlake DE comparison, I thought at the time that Breckyn Hager was a bad take, since he had exactly one move in HS (speed move outside the tackle).  Burke is much more athletic, versatile, and disruptive. 

I mean, of course a Westlake fan is going to like the take. I’m not saying he’s a bad player, just seemed like a weird allocation of resources. But again if Jones is out and it’s a net zero numbers wise that’s different. Also, what I really want to know is, do you really have to buy season tickets to HS teams now a days?
