Oh and pyrite is FeS2. So calling it iron pyrite is redundantly redundant.

A freshman lined up to another freshman is where you can get problems. A freshman mixed in with a bunch of experienced, solid guys is another deal. We are in pretty close to an ideal situation to insert an inexperienced LB. Lots of quality returning upfront. Experience next to and behind him.

Good post,  getting those talented freshmen on the field with experienced guys is the you way keep bad asses of the field every year.

My big takeaway from the practice reports is that we have a rotating door at rb.

Yup. Bunch of auditions for RB2 with the potential for Baxter to push for RB1 if he beats his case of fumbleitis.

[billfromlaketravis 11,458]

Brooks is going to get pushed. Baxter this season. Gibson next. This is what a healthy program looks like.

Slow your roll on David Ash and Sam Ehlinger if your point is to fluff Ewers. As a true sophomore, Ash completed 67.3%, 2699 yards, 8.5y/a, 19 TD, 8 INT. Before he got hurt as a true junior, he went 60.9% completion, 8.7 y/a, 7 TD, 2 INT.

As a true sophomore, Sam completed 64.7%, 3292 yards, 7.7 y/a, 25 TD, 5 INT. As a true junior, he went 65.2%, 3663 yards, 8.1 y/a, 32 TD, 10 INT.

Quinn as RS-freshman was 58.1%, 2177 yards, 7.4 y/a, 15 TD, 6 INT.

Quinn has the talent go 1-1 in the NFL draft. But if he doesn’t make a big jump in production he won’t go that high, or may not even be a first rounder. He needs a big jump just to match Ash and Sam when they were the same age.

 

 

Only one of those guys had a one handed blind WR as his main target though

The obvious guys to me would seem to be:

Jaden Alexis, Casey Cain, Sawyer Goram-Welch, Maalik Murphy, Braden Liebrock, Austin Jordan, Xavion Brice, Zac Swanson, Derrick Brown, Trevell Johnson

The maybe guys could potentially include:

David Gbenda, JMond Tapp, Malik Agbo, Kitan Crawford, BJ Allen, LTG, Jaydon Blue

The noooooooooo guys could include:

Neto, Cam Williams, DJ Campbell, Savion Red

And finally, the fuck you Tom Herman for this albatross scholarship that we can't catapult into the sun for two more years because of bmd parents:

He misunderstood what DKR meant when he said "You lose one game for every Freshman you start." The point isn't that you don't start a Freshman if he's better than everyone else; the point is you should not get yourself into that position with your recruiting in the first place.

Wow all the hype we hear on Holmes but Brooks is slated as the starter. I’m sure they all will get reps but hopefully this means Brooks is balling out and not just giving it up to Holmes 

 

Think it’s safe to say the CB position as well as others, we will definitely have a higher level of play.  When you know someone can come in and replace you those dumb mistakes tend to be at a minimum 

Not sure how important it is to be labeled as a starter in the secondary considering how often the backups play with the first team

This thread has blown up a bit since the last time I checked, but correct me if I'm wrong..

A Wide receiver is going to be our leading rusher, tossing DE's out of the way and trucking some foolish DB's.

Defense is going to be the Ethan Burke show no matter how you spell eDgGe.

If Crawford can figure out which direction to face before the snap, he’s basically Ed Reed.

Possibly, I had more interest in mantle petrology (peridotite, pyroxenes, garnets, diamond formation/inclusions) before I switched to geophys.  It would feel like calling limestone, magnesium limestone instead of dolomite.   But that isn't exactly the same either.

Definitely not buying into the off-season koolaid (yet) until I see at least some improvement in the WR room and DL with my own eyes. Hopefully we see something at the spring game.

It is nice to see some good news at RB and Quinn taking the off-season seriously. Been burned too many times by the 9.95ers to buy into the hype. Show me.

you aren't buying improvement in the WR room (yet) when they bring back who would have been the 2nd best WR on the team last year (Neyor), bring back who is absolutely one of the 4 best WR on the team and would have been the 2nd best WR on the team last year (Mitchell) plus add in a healthy spring + offseason for Thomson plus Johntay Cook II.?

even without considering all of that you basically are trading Tarique Milton, Agiye Hall, Troy Omeire for Isaiah Neyor, AD Mitchell, Johntay Cook, DeAndre Moore and Ryan Niblett.

that's a very, very, very easy decision which of those two is better.

last year's WR room:

this year's WR room:
