LB recruiting and portal has been as bad as OL portal. Safety is concerning.

They will surely add another LB and/or safety before fall camp.

Cook and Thomson at safety is still better than what we trotted out last year. Coffey and Allen have some potential as well. Agree though that it might be nice to add another safety and push Thompson to compete at nickel with Barron.

[OB3 3608]

Maybe once they get through spring and realize Jones or Karic aren’t good tackles then they’ll look in the portal? Were there any really good tackles that we passed on already?

Whether people agree with it or not, I think the thought was they wanted to dangle the playing time carrot in front of Banks, Neto, Campbell and Williams. Taking a portal OT back in December probably means they don't get all of those guys. Maybe since they all already signed they can backdoor a portal OL onto the roster, but I'd be interested to know what the conversations were like on those in-home visits when discussing the depth chart/early playing time.

I think the situation is changed. I wonder what would have happened if Texas didnt sign Hutson and Robertson early. If you ask me I am taking Devon Campbell over any portal player. That is happily acknowledging that I dont think Campbell in year 1 will be great (not that a portal player is a lock to be good either).

I can't believe some of you clowns are still whining and moaning about the empty seats in the SEZ at kick-off, and our worried about the perception of how our fans might look. Nevermind the fact that the football program has been a national laughingstock for well over a decade, is regularly prolapsed by fucking Kansas, and the product generally has sucked so fucking hard that professional fluffers like Orange & White blush. But yes, lets focus on how embarrassing the empty seats in the SEZ look at kick-off, as opposed to the empty seats in the rest of the stadium, as opposed to the limp dick product that Texas football has put on the field for 12 years now. Jesus, it's a miracle that enough boosters were willing to cut checks to get our facilities out the the mid 1990s considering the ROI on Longhorn fandom these days. But yes, fuck them for not showing up on time like half the rest of the stadium and deigning to sit in the A/C for awhile because of their contribution.

Maybe they could have squeezed out one of the HS OL for a portal guy, but like you said there aren't many portal lineman I'd take over Banks or Campbell. They are 1st round NFL draft picks in 3 years if they maximize and I know starting freshman OL isn't ideal, but I'll take my lumps with those guys. This OL room is also so thin after the way Hand screwed us over his last few years that the only we can build it back up to where it needs to be is through HS recruiting and development. I don't disagree that a one year portal OT might have been nice if the right one presented itself, but if you do that you are likely losing Karic or Jones to the portal and then you're back to square one from a depth standpoint and likely not signing all of Banks, Campbell, Neto and Williams.

It's Surly, so "who cares" is usually always a somewhat valid post, I guess. I'm sure you're quite familiar with that sentiment. But I was simply responding because I was summoned here.  Also, ,"writing a whole paragraph" isn't exactly some massive effort for me, it takes about 1 minute for most sem-literate people. But I'm sorry reading it was so arduous for you.

IMO, there’s 0 chance that Quinn Ewers isn’t our starting QB next year.  Doesn’t matter what happens this spring, summer or fall. 
 

You’re going to tell me that Sark, coming off a disappointing first year, isn’t going to start the highest rated QB prospect, that is also a native Texan, since the savior of Texas Football won a title?  The thing is it doesn’t have shit to do with skill of Quinn vs Card.  It’s a perception thing.  That’s why it’s as hard as it is to win here.  You have all the shit in the world you could need to be successful (money, recruiting network, great city) but Sark has to win with right perception. That’s always been a thing at Texas.  Mack hit the best co-existence of this line for 10 years that I’ve seen in my time on earth (which I know is not as long as some of you).  He shook hands, kissed babies, made everyone important feel important and beat the shit outta everyone but OU with Texas born and bred kids.  
 

On paper, it should be a true open competition with the best guy available, but to me, unless Sark lands Arch(which is an anomaly solely based off his name), his legacy at Texas was tied to that golden mullet the second Quinn hit the portal and how well he plays in his time in Austin.  Whether or not it’s fair is besides the point.

100% correct.

Last season, it looked to me like Sark and PK both completely failed to understand that they were expected to win at least 8 games. They seemed much more concerned about "instilling their culture" than winning the game they were actually playing at any given time. 

[closetojumping 62246]

One other thing about SEZ seating - most of the seats and suites do not have field access. AC, yes. Field access, no. That's a different area and package altogether.

That could be a recipe for a 10-2 season.  Everyone else other than Alabama sucks.  It is known.  We should win convincingly.

If I'm being totally honest, I just wanted to fuck with this thread in response to Hulk's post. I won't be surprised by a 10-2 season in which Texas plays for the conference title any more than I will be another 5-7 season in which Sarkisian is dropped off just outside the city limits with nothing more than his hobo bag to keep him company while he ambles forward elsewhere.

I think the guy is utterly incompetent and overrated, but I'm wrong a lot and would love to be shown new ways in which I accomplish being publicly stupid as Seven Loss Steve finds his footing.
