Question moving forward….why would you ever sign a punter not from pro kick Australia or the portal? Why would you sign a HS recruit

Kind of interesting to sign Kern's replacement while we're still playing. Awkward.

[Zhorn96 1837]

this libel of Helobious's efforts is getting to be too much.  HE ONLY GIVES HANDJOBS TO DEFENSIVE TACKLES.  None of this punter shit.  You fuckers need to show him some respect

[Texas Flood 1386]

@Helobious has the technique down

 

[kevwun 16453]

If Kern shows up wearing a black face shield and never takes his helmet off while averaging 5-10 more yards per punt in a week, no one question it.

Kern can RS next year, get healthy, then try again in 2026.

Not as awkward as a shanked 25 yard punt from him. 

[kevwun 16453]

Yeah, they might try to sell him on that if they think he can get better.  Or he can transfer and they'll find another portal guy next year.

He fucking sucks. They can sell him on you were lucky to be on scholarship this long.

Wondered if this might send Kern to the portal before we're done, if there are potential suitors for him.

He was fine before the injury, of course the offense was running up and down the field and he was barely used.

Perhaps that's why Bouwmeester was chosen over Crimmins (Purdue).  Crimmins has 2 years left.  Bouwmeester has 1.

[General Specific 3508]

I guess I don’t understand what the argument is. Is it- this degree is worth an easy show up job in big time corporate America or is it- this should be pretty easy to monetize a little fame into a comfortable 6 figure living if you played but didn’t star at UT? 
I think anyone that played and had a modicum of name recognition at UT should be set for 6 figures a year for life trading on that fame if they aren’t a screw up (mortgage, real estate, insurance, car sales, regular run of the mill sales, coaching football at the high school level etc) but those are jobs you actually have to do to get that money, even if the fame gets you in the door and the opportunity. And when I say fame I don’t mean VY level fame or even chance mock level fame, I’m talking Beau Trahan type fame. Tucker Dorsey seems like a good analog. 1 year for UT. Played a decent amount, was known, but not even a starter. He got recruited in personally to Keller Williams, went on some pods where he got advertised and I’m sure he’s doing ok. I’d think any kind of professional services/sales job would be like that for a Texas athlete. Thats my world and what I’d do if an athlete wanted entry to that. I know you have a ton of irons in the fire and I’d assume you would do similar for anyone that had interest in one of your worlds, right? 
Beyond that I don’t understand what people are trying to say.  Being quasi famous, even when narrowcasting, is obviously a good thing for a lot of jobs/opportunities/places.

Foot jobs, not hoof jobs! Sorry, maybe next year.

The management.

[Helobious 9827]

I’m still pulling for us to get more transfers even if it means I’m subjected to handjob jokes every time we get a commit. In a way that makes me the truest Longhorn fan on here.

We pay players now. He is worse than the median Texas high school punter. I’m not going to spend any energy worrying about what happens to him if we sign a punter.

...in his 3rd year of cfb, despite being a 34 yo coal miner from Pro Kick when we got him. I was responding to the idea that we should only get xfers or Pro Kick prospects moving forward, and my point is that the latter are still college freshman that are not a reliable take either.

It's going to be awesome when Kern hits the portal before the playoffs and we find out Ewers is an NFL caliber drop kicker.

Don't need to read coverages to kick the ball.

Gerry made a comment this morning that he wasn’t sure Georgia was super involved with Eric Singleton Jr. anymore. Sounds like Auburn and Ole Miss are the primary completion.

[Bodacious Bevo 3691]

The really fun part of the arguments about the value of a degree vs. name recognition for Maalik is that it completely ignores the single most important factor in the entire deal: what the guy actually wants to do 

Please shut the fuck up about it

Well that’s funny. I could explain for 10 paragraphs what I meant in excruciating detail, but will go against type, chuckle and move on. If it’s you against Linux or 52 I will assume you have the right of it, but none of it made sense to me either way. Too black and white I thought.

This Brad Spence guy who's visiting seems like an underrated intriguing option. Only a Soph and good numbers at Arky. From Klein Forest. 

edit: he had a sack against UT this year too

I’m thinking that’s what we’re going to wind up with - a bunch of Norton types that can play and be productive but aren’t going to win any awards. If a true difference-maker joins the portal party, maybe Texas tries to win a bidding war for one of the three or four spots. There is the same notion as last year that a few guys at different positions are earmarked  for Texas if they jump in, but they have to jump in. 

My view is that 3-4 guys of Spence’s production level would be great anyway.

I can’t figure out which Scrooge is my favorite. I really like the classic George C. Scott version from the early 80’s. Then there’s Mickey’s Christmas Carol. I played Ebenezer in that version in 5th grade. Scrooged is really well done and Bill Murray is excellent. Then there’s Spirited, which I highly recommend.

Hopefully it's a sign we're not taking the LB from AZ with a torn ACL. Wish the kid luck.. just somewhere else.

I'd be good with that. Yeah Spence seems like a very solid 3rd LB behind Hill/Lefau and with 2 years of eligibility, he could possibly develop into something more which is big with Hill likely going pro after this year. 

The Purdue TE seems similar. Another Soph with good P5 production, maybe not a 1st round type but likely to be a solid contributor immediately and the has time to develop further. I like this kind of take.

(Obvious disclaimer: I haven't watched any of these guys, just going off stats, etc)
