So where does the class land in overall rankings and what positions did we fail to land our needs?   Including the transfers…. Bc from my vantage point this looks like a spectacular class transfers included.

Expand  

Top 5 class.  If you include transfers, the only position we lack incoming talent is at LB.  Hopefully they add their via the portal soon.

Yes, there should be new portals after the spring games and practices.  But SEC to SEC transfers will now need to sit out a year--it's now after the cutoff. 

Expand  

Which means any SEC kids will be looking to leave the conference. For better or worse we're still in the Big12

a&m dropped bags NIL deals the size of their overinflated ego Mt. Everest.

Texas went 5-7 with a HOME LOSS TO KU & then a bunch of rich alums bailed Sark out at the bell.

That'll be $9.95 please.

How long til Roach/Wells/Nahlin/Such put out their recruiting cycle re caps/behind the scenes write ups? 

Expand  

That’s one of my favorites.  It just shows why you shouldn’t give those fuckers a squirt of piss for their worthless reporting

I stopped after the Ewers stuff. That’s way too much to read from someone as uninformed as Roach, but I love the part where he says he wanted to get the scoop on if Ewers would decommit so he went to Ewers’ game, talked to him and his family and they all said he was solid, only for him to decommit shortly after. I swear Mile Roach has posted that exact same kind of story about 100 times and yet he still never learns that recruits and their families might not actually tell Mike to his face what they’re really planning on doing.

This was my favorite part: 

  Quote

 Texas actually signed Campbell at the end of the December signing window, but sources asked us to keep a tight lid on it so Campbell could play his announcement out his way through the month of January. I thought it was going to get out on Monday when a twitter account with very few followers tweeted a picture of the NCAA’s database showing Campbell’s NLI to Texas, but it was taken down within 30 minutes and nobody saw it.

Expand  

So IT dunked on Roach and Roach repeatedly just lied to his subs

i pray this oline class does not end up like the 2018 DB class
I dont expect every single one of them to pan out like we hope, but even if just 4 of that group meet their expectations...fuck yeah!

O-line has been a weakness for so long I won't know how to watch guys in burnt orange rag dolling and pancaking fools wearing the wrong uni's...but I'll be happy to learn.

The existence of Kyle Flood makes me hopeful that will not happen.
Problem is others have noticed our haul this year...he may be a name some schools looking for a new HC next year have on their shortlist. I mean sure he's just a position coach, but one with a better resume (2021 Longhorns season excepted) than most.

Having said that, I'll need to see some vast improvement in '22 before I fret about losing him after the season.

Except for that whole completely sucking as a head coach when he got his shot thing.

Hopefully he realizes that being a badass OL coach is all he needs to prove.

Some of it's kind of funny/telling. Vague "stuff on his social media" scaring UT off from Marshall. God telling Jeremy Patton in his sleep to go to Baylor. J'Mond Tapp is apparently a bit of a nut in a harmless way. Omari Abor's parents basically being like "I don't know, he's a weird kid" when asked whether he was serious about Texas.

At some point, some of you pussies will start to realize that other schools wanting your assistants is indicative that you have a staff, or part of a staff, that is worth a shit. I hope all of our assistants are frequently targeted for promotions elsewhere. We have seen the alternative in some ways for more than two decades and the results of a truly shitty staff in full bloom from 2013-2020.

This. It is nauseating to see where previous staff lands.

Hell one of the best landing spots over the past 15 years was Greg Davis at Iowa. Let that sink in. One of the best landings for an assistant on our staff was for Greg Davis.

thanks.. last year Roach was saying there were things going on with Abor, but he wouldn't discuss it til after the 22 class was done.. and he really didn't say anything here.

Expand  

Is it Roach's fault for not saying anything of substance or relevance on a subject that he never seemed to have a clue on in the first place? Or is it your fault for believing that Roach had anything of substance or relevance to impart in the first place?

I'm going to start covering the 2023 class like Mike Roach, but without visiting any players or schools or talking to any parents or handlers. I will wind up being more entertaining and more informative. That guy is absolutely worthless at what he does.

If I had 100 dollars for every time a source told me Jacoby Mathews was on the verge of committing, I’d have several hundred dollars.

Can't believe we are lucky enough to have such informative hard hitting scoops like this for only $9.95.

Which is why scrolling through hundreds of pages with the benefit of hindsight to say "I told you so" is a tired-ass bit. 

Expand  

Well, "I told you so" wasn't my message, because I felt the exact same way back then. The message was more, "Thank God our worst fears didn't happen."

We also need to give credit to Horns With Hearts and Landry leaving. I like that one of these three things was proactive effort on our part and not just luck. But it was mostly luck.

Roach doesn’t seem to get that we don’t give a shit what happened to HIM or how he felt during these recruitments.  We only care about the player or the coach.

Have you and Immamac already reached out to him?  Is he going to come to the dinner or is he not becoming a Burnt End until the fall?
