Thinking maybe we at least kick the tires on Anthony Evans from UGA. Converse kid who changed his mind a few times before ending up in Athens for a couple seasons. Not a ton of production there, but 10.3 speed doesn't grow on trees.

After what Baker has done with Collins and Vernon, you have to like this pickup.

I think the jury is still out on whether Baker is a better than average developer, but making sure you have a four deep of 4th and 5th year players with a decent baseline of talent is a good way to get credit for it.

Exactly. Especially with the way those kinds of players have been automatically getting better at Texas as they get older.

Collins is a solid 2nd round pick and Broughton is a 4th. Who the fuck could have guessed that in 2023?

I was pretty high on Collins and Kenny Baker last year, I think arguing both things is acceptable. 

I agree with others that we need at least two more 3 techs. January can still get good snaps next year.

I’m sure Mack Brown told Shaw Texas would be a good move so that Mack could screw over his former employer. On brand. 

Watch the Mack interview with Bobby on OTF. He and Sally are moving back to Austin and he's going to be a part of whatever Sark wants him to be a part of with this program going forward. 

Or so he says. Said at this point in his life he's the same age DKR was in 1998 when Mack arrived and he wants to give back like DKR did to him. 

Mack's a politician though, so we shall see.

He’s so pathetic and needy.

Is the jury still out? Our top 4 guys all improved over the course of the season. Broughton has been a big surprise, Collins is consistently playing up to his potential, Norton and Lole were shaky early on, but play better just about every week. Heck, Baker got some decent snaps out of Sydir Mitchell. Bledsoe and Bryant didn't work out. My understanding is Bledsoe just wasn't big enough. I'm not sure about Bryant. The biggest question marks at this point are January and Hills.

Did they?  I think they’ve performed pretty admirably beginning with CSU even if they didn’t rack up a lot of counting stats.  How do you parse out the credit between four years with Davis and one with Baker?

Frankly, given the bust rate of even high four and five stars prospects, I’m not sure what the standard for evaluation should be, aside from the obvious (coaching three or more year players into NFL draft picks).   One might be success recruiting the four and fifth year senior transfers using UT as a finishing school for the NFL, as they are presumably evaluating programs for developmental acumen (and depth chart) rather than a pure NIL auction.
