I don't think Arch stays if he's beaten out by Murphy in 2024, but we can always hope that CTJ is as accurate as he was with Blue.

Blue declared his portal entry after one semester on campus. Somewhere between that moment and actually filing the paperwork, that flake got a new religion and turned his life around. I don’t know what happened, but it’s unlikely to be replicable.

Some guy on IT says Marshall beat the crap out of a guy at a team event. Good character eval from Jimbo.

Friends of mine that know their shit front to back in recruiting said that this guy was a nightmare on every level and have been proven accurate. They’re currently saying the same thing about a UT commit. I’m guessing that changes soon.

I knew taking a kicker from Fort Lauderdale was a sketchy move.

Always have to watch those punters.

I know his brothers-in-law and they're definitely good people. 

I still can't believe Hays played FBS football anywhere. Kid was skinny as a rake his whole life. 

But yeah, the whole family and extended family are lovely. I was more joking around than anything - I remember my dad used to give Randy a hard time about handing the ball to Earl and getting out of the way.

Not just anyone can go into Northern California and steal Fresno State’s backup QB. That’s what we call Real. Recruiting.
 

Power. Move. 

Casey Thompson is gonna end up playing for Tom Herman at FAU. 🤣

 

On A&M's Fresno State backup QB acquisition/coup. 

Effusive, incisive, comforting. 

 

 

 

SIAP... Any update on UH offensive linemen?

Heard a report  that since their offensive line coach was dismissed, they have lost 7 OL players to the portal...

Not good. Former Longhorn Tyler Johnson is starting for them at guard though.

They lost a starting Guard to Mizzou and backup Tackle to Cal over the weekend. Heard their star Tackle got money whipped to stay.  Haven’t heard anything else. Their old OL coach is at Mizzou now.

UH got Tulane's OL coach, who also coached at Texas under both Brown and Strong. Tulane's OL was really good last year. Brandon Jones was nothing special, so him going to Missouri is surprising.

Holy shit that is grim. They are going to get steamrolled next season. 

 

DB looks problematic.

I mean that roster is missing a lot of players that they signed and picked up in the portal. The Tech QB that beat us is going to be their starter, and he's not listed on the depth chart.

Apologies, I should have been clearer. I was referring specifically to o-line.

Super common now. Here's another recent example:

It's a real "old man yells at cloud" moment for me, but I cannot stand this trend. Smelling your own finger has certain connotations and I'm not sure what they have to do with football.

Wasn't he more interested in making music? I guess when your music producer career isn't going to pay for college, it's time to play college.

I'd never seen Thompson's commitment tweet. Using the Cotton Bowl and Golden Hat as a backdrop is, uh, a choice. 

It’s a wiping nose thing. Ceedee Lamb does it every first down. Signifies Slime or some too cool for me bullshit.

Leaving because things didn’t work out for you- fine. I hope everything goes well for you. Going to a rival and rubbing it in your announcement tweet? I hope he fucking breaks his leg and never runs track or plays football again. Fuck him.

Brenen just pulled his finger out of this one’s rear end:

Honest reaction to reading about this guy. I know Fresno State can play some good football. 

1. Wow, this sounds like a rags to riches story. Clearly we will learn he was under-rated.

2. Even better. Nobody thought much of this. He really showed them. Well done!

3. Huh? I know 5 of 8 is a respectable completion percentage, but this all sounds a little sad now.

Thanks.  Just saw this in Chronicle...

Offensive line shuffle

The offseason has featured a lot of departures within the UH offensive line room. To start, the program parted ways with Brandon Jones, who had been the Cougars’ offensive line coach since 2019. Holgorsen brought in Eman Naghavi, who spent last season at Tulane, to replace Jones as Houston's running game coordinator/offensive line coach. 

“I’ve had my eye on him for a couple years,” Holgorsen said about Naghavi. “He’s a voice in that room that’s going to be listened to.”  

Along with the coaching change, Houston lost two starters from a season ago to the transfer portal: Cam’Ron Johnson and Lance Robinson. Johnson started all 13 games in 2022 at left guard, allowing just one sack on his way to being named first-team All-AAC. Robinson played in all 13 games last season, making 11 starts at right tackle. 

Patrick Paul, the anchor of the Cougars’ offensive line, is back at left tackle along with center Jack Freeman. Tyler Johnson, who made 10 starts at right guard last season after transferring in from Texas, will likely be a starter upfront at one of the guard positions. Senior Reuben Unije, who has played in 15 games in three years at UH, is back and could replace Robinson as the starting right tackle. Tank Jenkins, who played 338 snaps a season ago, also returned. 

The Cougars added Max Banes—who started his collegiate career at UH before spending the past season at Akron—along with Shamar Hobdy-Lee during the offseason.

Honestly, better than I thought. Good for him.

What does “I’m able to live and play ball how I want to.” even mean?

Was he living a lie in Austin?

How was he playing ball vs how he wanted to play ball?

This is confusing.

After watching OU eat a big mouthful of 49-0 and deciding himself to skip spring football, he realized that while he was assigned Longhorn at matriculation, he identifies as a Sooner.

Most people struggle with the repressive ideologies of Austin and seek a more welcoming atmosphere in places like Norman.
