Texas has had three safeties drafted in four years. Who knows who Anderson will pick but if that’s the line of reasoning to get him to aggy that’s not particularly compelling.

Yes, Tex-19 covered this, and more. He, in fact, credited the current Texas staff for the DBs that got drafted into NFL from A&M in the last 5 years too, credit your current DB coach.

Right until he said the Ardennes were a good barrier that hampered the Germans. I think it might have stalled their advanced for a whopping 8  hours.  That might have been the first and hopefully only time I read someone spin the virtues of the French defensive strategy against the Germans. 

I eagerly await the next installment entitled “Poland’s Wizard Plan to Defeat the Blitzkrieg”.

105% chance that our staff is too lazy and/or polite to point this out to anyone. 

From the 2014 to 2017 classes (the last class to have completed eligibility), OU's had 7 draft picks. OU is #5 by 247.com  and #7 by si.com by NFL OL production.

I don't think NFL success is how schools want to attack OU in OL recruiting.

Hey if rivals can negative recruit our current staff on lack of OL development, then on the flipside we better be claiming Brandon Jones as an NFL success.

The Maginot Line was fine. The problem was they didn’t want to abandon their allies and extending it into the sea would have been a problem. The Ardennes was a good barrier and did hamper the Germans the problem was the French allies failed, their military leadership failed, and they had something like 20% of their forces on hiatus while the Germans invaded their neighbors. The line held up well and repulsed Italy and the Germans. Those soldiers holed up in it were ordered out to surrender by the French.

The line was supposed to funnel attacks through Belgium which was what happened. The problem was that the attacks caught them off guard, their allies failed spectacularly, and their leadership failed to mobilize their forces. Had they done so, the French could have trapped the Germans in their tight formations in the Ardennes and blasted them to shit with air power.

French military planners assumed the Ardennes was impassable, and that the German Army would get bogged down for weeks if they tried to go through. So they sent their best units along with the BEF into Belgium to the North.

The Germans instead crashed through the forest like a hot poker through rice paper and reached the coast within a week, trapping British and French forces in a pocket to the North and cutting them off from France. What followed was Operation Dynamo, the evacuation at Dunkirk and the complete and utter collapse of remaining French resistance in little more than a month with many of their troops trapped in the Maginot Line itself receiving attacks from both sides.

The Maginot was a massive money pit that diverted too many French troops, and it was all compounded by the total lack of a competent military doctrine on the French side.

Something else to tuck in the back of your mind: Texas will continue to recruit recent misses Terrance Brooks (Little Elm) and Kelvin Banks (Summer Creek). The main reason, you know, beyond their talent, is UT feels strongly it has advocates for the program within the corresponding households.

This goes into the "no shit" file. Maybe the first sentence was just an intro so that he could say that some family members want them at Texas.

The way I see it, if a player gets drafted that's a feather in the cap of the school/program/corch. Brandon Jones went in third round-- great! If they flop or never amount to much in the League once drafted, that's not on the college, that's on them or the League. Even an average or JAG NFL-ers is likely a millionaire, no?

Not sure where UDFAs go in this setup... I'm lurching on the side of the players' own merit or grit getting in, with much less or no credit to the college. Argument can be made that they learned a work ethic and other soft skills in the college program, and maybe just didn't get drafted because of poor measurables which are immutable characteristics and not anything a college corch can do anything about and the NFL is too dumb sometime to have too much merit on the measureables. So...I guess some UDFAs can be credited to a college program.

UDFA just kind of depends on the individual situation. To use Texas as the example, Poona Ford was a UDFA because the NFL is stupid. I’ve never been so confident a UDFA would make the roster and turn into a contributor. Malcolm Roach, on the other hand, had his development grossly stunted by the Todd Orlando and would’ve been drafted had he played under a competent DC.

There is a lot more going on than just this. The original German plan was to attack through Belgium and the North and this plan fell into French hands. What they didn't know was that there was another plan that got adopted. And since Gamelin already assumed they would be attacking there it was the kind of fatal assumption reinforcing that can blind you to other dangers. And this was not some case where the Germans fooled the French, this was actually the real German plan. It was just bad luck that it was not the one they ended up going with.

But even in the event when the Germans attacked in the Ardennes against divisions of poorly equipped French reserve conscripts were able to use their defenses and the Meuse River to actually hold them off pretty effectively but the defense was botched by Huntzinger so even that got screwed up and Gamelin had already committed too many of his reserves...

It was just so many different things.

As far as the Maginot Line being some kind of money pit, I don't know. It did achieve its strategic goals of funneling the Germans to the north. We don't have access to that alternative reality where it wasn't built to see how things would have gone.

I am just glad it was Huntzinger who had the sign the Armistice. What a miserable general who failed his men who were performing better than what reasonably could have been expected of them under difficult circumstances and...wait why are we talking about this on the Recruiting thread?

Wait, when you look at that ass, with its shape and how it moves, you think it seems “nice and soft, a bit giggly (jiggly) too”?

Do you think her breast probably feels like a bag of sand?

Chances the advocates in their respective households are the sources that led IT to be way too optimistic about Texas' chances with them in the first place?
