Going 3 for 3 on the transfer DT’s would make the IT handwringing on Baker look completely regarded. 

Any handwringing from IT is regarded by default.

Coincidentally, the poster you quoted has a long and distinguished history of regardation himself.

So....we need to find some safeties who know what the fuck they are doing. Also, are there any really good DB coaches in the portal?

I don’t see what Baker has to do with landing these three tackles. They are all connected to Nansen and NIL is doing the rest of the work. 

Forget it Newy, it’s billfromlaketravistown.

I'm such an idiot. I looked up all those names thinking they were transfer players.

The first reference to Kenny Baker, whom I suspected was a lineman, was to this guy:

 

Now you know why I pos rep links to players.

I guess “I mean who the fuck would want these guys????” Is one way of managing the portal

Sooners ON3 is very optimistic about sealing it with Damonic Williams this weekend. Does anyone here know any more?

What is known is that others were ahead of Texas on planning for that situation, unlike with Toia, the Arizona white guy, Alexander or another few that could materialize. 

I’ve thought all along since Williams announced that it would be a hail mary for Texas to land him. 

[Hermanator 7,081]

He may also see how many Texas is taking and think he won't get the snaps he wants. 

Honestly the spring game didn't look as bad as I was thinking. It's only one exhibition but the addition of Toia and Norton seem like they may be enough there. They may need to find 2 new DB coaches in the portal though

[Danimal 339]

I'm guessing at least one transfer is included in this bunch

[South Austin 52,515]

The Arizona DL is a large human being. Just saw him at The Four Seasons lobby. Send me $9.95 and I’ll tell you what shirt he was wearing.

And Jay Toia is also here, and looks like he has an unpleasant disposition.

Our safeties, including veterans look lost still. I’m about to go Office Space on Gideon and ask what is it that you do here?

For some reason, he spends an inordinate amount of time each practice on catching fluttering, tipped passes.

Terrance Brooks at corner also completely blew an easy coverage assignment on the Arch to Moore TD bomb. I think both the DB coaches should be on notice if this is how they've looked this spring. 

[ClubWhatever 12,144]

That's always been the disadvantage of having a DC who wasn't a good secondary coach first.   He doesn't seem to be able to correct this sort of thing.  We just wander along blaming it on lack of pass rush, youth at DB, and eventually DB coach.

Blaming the DC for the development of the secondary?

This is absolutely bs the development of the secondary is on the secondary coaches. Now if the coverage doesn’t match what you’re running up front then that is 1000% on the DC.

Are you trying to say Terry Joseph is not a good coach/developer of talent? 
I am shocked.

Wanted to make a joke about our DB coach but then decided against it so as not to derail the thread. Seems like it got derailed anyways. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22,265]

[D3zii 3,704]

I mean let’s not act like Joseph was known for being an excellent DB coach and Gideon was known more for Specal teams! 
 

I believe Sark may know this hence he was trying to bring in Duane Akina or when he brought in Patterson. 
 

Someone needs to let Sark know if they not it, fire em, but I do believe Sark knows the recruiting Joseph brings specially in Louisiana

Ahahaha you're posting a fucking Big Game Boomer list as a serious talking point?

Even aside from the fact it's pure clickbait, he's a diehard Sooner who always ranks UT things as low as possible.

I didn't know Van Malone was highly regarded. He looks like an old 53, though.

Gerry/Vogel comments on recruiting (from a couple of streams over the last two days):

- Three silent commits; one may go public soon, others 2 - 3 weeks

- Bill Norton great visit (sounds like he's the silent?); (in another stream, he said he would be very surprised if Norton didn't join Texas;  was referring to "when Texas will announce ...")

- Jay Toia really really good visit;  his bro was offered, too

- Domanic Williams coming in Tue/Wed, from OU visit

- If Texas lands Norton and Toia, we are a Domanic Williams away from "really shoring up the d-line"

- If Swanson leaves, we're evidently 1 under the limit

- Kelshaun Johnson great visit as well (came with Mom, family members); favorite; great Sark meeting

- Riley Pettijohn - great spot (similar to the above)

- James Simon - good visit

- John Turntine ('26 5*) - best upside soph prospect in Texas; Texas in a good spot;  sis transferring to Texas 

- Nick Brooks (OT from Iowa) - GA #1, Texas moved up to #2; left with wide eyes;  will see if GA locks him down, else Texas visit in June

- Jaime Ffrench, see if GA closes out, else visiting USC ... 

Also, really liked Savea's play

 

On a separate note, saw this on the Ohio State site (from April 11), re: Lockett.  May be a function of their chances with ph-ph-ph.

Someone can correct me if I heard incorrectly, but I think Gerry said right now OU would be the leaders for Damonic Williams, but only because Texas didn't know he was coming out. Said they put together a good NIL pacakge but that obviously Texas was prepared meet. Also said this one is going to come down to fit/culture.

This nil bs needs to come to its ultimate conclusion where athletic departments pay players directly and there are salary caps and shit.
