I added a 2025 tab to the depth chart spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TzoBTIvCXfZIk7Sz3C9txMg0yPvrXyVM/edit?gid=1658728281#gid=1658728281

Those that are projected by Surly to declare for the NFL or portal are italicized, although when there's not a consensus, I'll assume they're returning.

I also updated the Texas Grid and Aggie Grid tabs which shows athletes by signing class rather than by remaining eligibility, along with their 247 composite rating (transfers get their transfer rating, no their HS rating). The Blue Chip Ratio is at the bottom of those tabs. Names are removed once they state they are entering the portal or declaring for the draft (i.e., no speculation for these tabs).

In thinking about Monday and the portal this cycle, several things are similar to last year. 

1) Texas allegedly has a group of "targets" who have made it clear that they're entering the portal and are interested in Texas, or plan on just straight joining Texas. 

2) Brandon Harris is still right in the middle of handling the portal efforts and setting expectations on all sides. 

3) Texas is really committed to landing DT help. 

Accordingly, I am managing my expectations about all of the shit starting to float out there, both in regard to what could be coming UT's way and who could be heading elsewhere. 

[Sock Monkey 732]

On Blue - Unless he’s a locker room cancer, I hope he stays simply because he’s a big play threat and because RB depth is always appreciated. As things stand now, if he left, we’d be one Tre Wisner injury away from relying on Baby Rhino, two backs returning from bad injuries, and two freshmen.

What's been the view of Harris this season? Obviously we were all down on him last year and I'm not expecting him to have drastically changed but just curious what the vibe is post-NSD.

Being in position for a number 1 class probably is a good omen unless Sark and crew had to do a ton of heavy lifting despite Harris. I wouldn't expect a major change unless it was all bubble gum and duct taped together.

Has something changed regarding Blue? I’ve heard all year that, irrespective of this being the deepest pool of draftable TBs maybe ever, he’s entering the draft no matter what. 

He meant to tell you, but I guess he dropped the ball on that one.

BTW, that's 18, I think, out of 30 signees from the vaunted 2022 class that have now fully busted at ATM. 

There needs to be 30 for 30 on that class.

BTW, I think 18 is way too low. Probably the wrong thread for this discussion, but who is even contributing for them from that class? Shemar Stewart, Bryce Anderson, Leveon Moss, Theo Ohrstrom, and Noah Thomas? That's an almost incomprehensible disaster for the greatest recruiting class in history. Only Texas A&M could pull something like that off.

Oh, Bryce Anderson is "contributing" alright. Like Pete Rose to a point shaving scandal.

[Redneck Mutha 8139]

I recall people saying that there were only a few remaining from that class that Texas would want on the roster going into this year - Moss, Green, Anderson among them. 

But then Moss and Green got injured, Wisner, Helm, and our safety tandem balled out, it's safe to say that even the ones we may have wanted going into this season wouldn't have had an impact here. Amazing to say that about what was perceived to be the greatest class of all time on paper two years ago. 

Crazy the way our roster and culture have been developed compared to theirs the past few years.

He can’t catch, and just has bad hands in general

He's a burner with ST value though, so it could be worthwhile if he isn’t asking for too much.

I think of a "big play threat" as a player who does this with regularity, or at least as a measurable percentage of their touches. Blue has the speed and potential to be that guy, but one or two a year doesn't scream "threat" to me. Gunnar Helm's long reception this year is 49 yards. Is he a big play threat?

Unless you were at the game on the west side watching our sidelines, you didn’t see him whine like a total bitch after being substituted for by Wisner on the final two drives (after fumbling twice). Choice had enough of his antics on the sideline and before the next play or during tore him a new one rightfully so and sent him to the end of bench. If his attitude doesn’t get adjusted he can walk. He’s a liability right now anyhow. Can’t have those fumbles in the CFP. We’re not playing Kentuckys anymore.

Blue has flirted with the portal every year he’s been here. Either third time’s a charm, or he goes to the draft for UFA hopes. Highly doubt he’s back for 2025.

That Ohrstrom kid had a huge impact in the Lonestar Showdown….. by getting pushed into the backfield by our defensive line on multiple fourth down plays

I’d be mad too if my coach tried to leave for another job after convincing me not to transfer, and my QB couldn’t complete a forward pass to save his life.

[closetojumping 64731]

Give me Key over Anderson or Brown. There have been rumors for awhile that if Anderson went in, Texas would be interested. I don't know if that is true, and if it is, how much of it is driven by pettiness.

I was at the game - it was actually the last one my dad attended with me - but our tickets are in the corner of the NW endzone. So we saw the run but missed the show I guess.
