Now we need to find a RB2 to split reps with Ingram and then we are set

Yep, but we also need a TE to step up and a WR to replace LJH. Hopefully, one of the new WRs (Jake) can help create space.

Or Josh Moore... he looked solid before his injury and is now a year better and stronger.

Braun is a run blocking machine who's coming to Austin to hone his pass blocking skills for the next level.  He's already got the agility and footwork to stay in front of an interior pass rusher; he needs to work on his pass pro technique.  Looked good the few times he did it at GT but who knows how much was the surprise factor.

Do we have any offers out to grad transfer RB?

I know this is wishful thinking, but I still am hoping for something out of Kirk Johnson before he leaves the 40 acres. He really showed flashes of greatness in the one game I saw him in early in his career. Last year he played special teams and did well, maybe he’s fully healthy this season. Hoping for a Gaskamp award.

While the food was great, the meat of the visit included academic and strength and conditioning programs. The visit with Yancy McKnight needed to be a slam dunk and it was.

It's crazy how the IT guys can follow an absolutely fantastic sentence like the first one with a pointless banality like the second.

Knocked it out of the park with a resounding slam dunk, obviously. Getting him on campus was the tap in we needed.

Speaking of blood from a turnip, do you think this last 2019 class topic will generate 14 pages?

At some point, I expect a GT RB to show up. That will generate some buzz.

I would assume we still go after a grad transfer at RB. Right now we have Ingram and...nobody. 

Young is a warm body, Johnson is a medical nope. Whittington will help but if Ingram goes down, we are fucked. 

We need a GT RB

I'm guessing Willie Tyler is on deck.

Tyler would make sense if we are taking 2 (Proctor hasnt been offered IIRC). Or could be a 2020, Kimber? Broughton? Hopefully Lindberg hated stanford so much he decided to pull the trigger

Wonder if we'll still go after Proctor if Braun is indeed redshirting. I still have a hard time believing we'd redshirt Braun considering he'd likely be one of our 5 best OL next year, but if he really wants it and we had to tell him we'd give him a RS to get him here, then he's still worth it. If he really is RS'ing, then I'm not sure why we haven't offered and taken Proctor yet. 

I said I felt like I was taking crazy pills with all that OL stuff, but apparently, I'm just crazy.

You know how I know you haven't read any updates but just skipped to the end of the thread?

I read the IT post earlier and his moms quote, I just choose to remain blissfully ignorant on tree stealing any more offensive lineman from us

I'm sure we will if a decent one pops up. I know there was that small school kid, but there doesn't appear to be much so far.

Based on this list last from last year, it looks like there were only about 3 RBs that upgraded schools. Most of the transfers were dropping down for playing time. Of that list, Watson is about the only guy who made any type of significant impact, so there may not end up being anyone worth taking, or at least not someone who should get a significant amount of carries.

If Braun wants to redshirt, and Tyler is in, then neither help us in 2019. 

Do they even have roster space to take a third transfer like proctor?

i wonder if redshirting Braun is plan b if he can’t win a starting guard job, so he can be the center in 2020.

If Braun wants to redshirt and if Willie Tyler is in, that gives us 8 games they could play in this season while they both still redshirt. That probably means Kerstetter would really need to take a big step this year and I'm not sure that's possible. But Braun redshirting and sticking around for 2 years could also be a boost if there's mutual interest with recruiting his younger brother.

I don't really think we want Tyler playing in any games this year. He's huge and naturally strong, but he needs the full Yancy/Hand experience.
