  1. The Walton news pisses me off. Coaches were up front with him about playing time in 24 but laid out a clear plan for his path to playing time. This was within the last 10 days. I’ll check in and see what changed on the family side.
  2. We were talking about edge being a crowded spot. Someone mentioned Walton as a possible transfer. My take on Walton/Akana was not for this cycle and really just reinforcing that the DLine coaches really like Walton and think he will be a player for Texas if he is patient. There is some similarities in the coaches eyes between the two players so I wonder if down the line a decision will need to be made between the two. I doubt either transfers this cycle.
  3. Tapp is a guy that has offers on the table and playing time promises from other teams. Swanson just isn’t big enough to do what Texas wants to do yet. Walton knows they like him and will get a lot more run next year if he shows patience. I think we lose either Walton or Akina eventually but it’s still early. Akina was the higher ranked recruit so he may have more opportunities in the portal but coaches think Walton will be a player.
  4. Year one Bo was unhappy with how the DTs were being used and wanted to coach the whole line. Once the DTs were allowed to be more active and penetrate more the whole line became less of an issue. I like the returns on Coach Baker so far. Really good energy. Need a coach to bring the juice since PK is more laid back. Baker and Nansen are high energy guys. If Baker gets a guy or two drafted he is going to kill it recruiting.
  5. Would Texas take Bear and the DT from Michigan or would it be a first one to commit type thing? for the record I don’t trust Bear and think he is more hype than production. But people fall in love with potential every day.
  6. He should have bulked up and played DE or went to a base 3-4 school and played outside linebacker. As long as he/they think he can play in the middle he won’t give us much if anything.
  7. He will enroll during summer.
  8. People went crazy at a few highlights of Big Wash, also a lot of people used terms like Texas lean or Texas recruit to push engagement and views on social media sites. Washington will not be part of Texas class. The sad part about things is a lot of people thought he had started to turn the corner early in last football season but we were all wrong. His coaches know he has to lose weight and this concern has been passed to him several times. He gotta get it together because he losing interest from other schools as well. I’m sure somebody will take him cause he is so massive but it won’t be the type of programs he and family expected. Truth be told, he has to get the weight down for health reason. No kids needs to be pushing 400 pounds. It ain’t healthy.
  9. If Colin Simmons has added that much muscles this fast 👀
  10. Damn. Make sense for him then. He could have used the exposure but getting healthy for pro day and combine are more important.
  11. Not sure if this is the right place, but did anybody find out why Ford and J Whit didn’t participate in the senior bowl? I would have thought both could have used a good showing to help draft stock.
  12. This is Bake Dog’s wife. Take from this what you want.
  13. I can’t wait to hear @closetojumping thoughts on the newest Texas State transfer.
  14. I’m glad Quinn is coming back, but seeing people mock JJ McCarthy in the first made me feel like Quinn could have went first round this year. Outside of the hype of being a five star in high school I just don’t see anything special with JJ.
  15. I’m guessing the choice is Tracy Rocker. Spent over 20 years coaching and developing DL in college. 6 years in the league and was headed back to college before he got the offer from the Eagles two years ago. Lots of SEC experience. Clint Hurt would be awesome but I don’t see Hurt or Nielsen coming when they will have DC opportunities in the NFL. let’s go Tampa Bay so we can see if my guess is correct.
