  1. What's really phenomenal is the spin 9.95ers can put on something so meaningless to give readers a nice warm and fuzzy about a recruit they have no hope in getting but that warm and fuzzy keeps the readers clicking for more.
  2. Texas surrounded the 40 acres with stockpiles of ham to keep Ketchum off the scent of this visit
  3. The way Gerry and Bobby were talking this morning about Texas being tenacious in transfer portal recruiting and not taking a "no," this would make sense
  4. QB got a rating of a floor of 4 and high of 5. So, yes, he does have that potential.
  5. That's a fair take. The 1-5 rating I set is likely too hard for a K / P to get a 5. Regardless, I think Auburn is a good kicker and he will help us win games this year, but I don't think he is or will be great / elite.
  6. Now that the portal is closed, and it seems that the roster is pretty much set for 2024 save a potential grad transfer portal addition, here's how I am rating the position groups: Ratings: Liability/Unknown Some Holes / Struggle Often Average / Serviceable (UDFA talent) Good (Draftable Talent) Great/Elite (1-3 Round Draft Talent) Ratings are two numbers: (floor / potential) Offense QB: (4/5) - Quinn hopefully performs as a RD 1 QB; Arch Manning is ready RB: (4/5) - Deep and talented RB room; will CJ Baxter or Jaydon Blue be one of best RBs by year-end? WR: (4/5) - Plenty of talent and depth, just need to find the right mix TE: (3.5/4) - Helm and Niblack are solid TE weapons (although for different roles) OL: (4/5) - A lot of talent and depth. Williams is talented, but replacing a RT who got drafted won't be without some issues. How long will Conner start? Defense DE (4/5) - Lots of talent and depth. Getting pressure from the edge should not be an issue this season DT (3/4.5) - The Arizona transfers help set a solid floor; Collins is the real upside for this unit LB (3.5/4.5) - Hill is special, Gbenda has experience, and Lefau and Gullete have talent CB (3/4.5) - Muhammad is a stud, but a lot depends on the development of the true FR and what Cole from the portal can do at the P4 level NB (3.5/4.5) - Barron and Guilbeau are solid NB options S (3.5/4.5) - Please start Mukuba next to Williams. Freshman are talented, but unproven Special Teams K: (3/4) - Auburn is a known commodity P: (1/3) - A lot depends on Kern or a portal addition
  7. Death, Taxes, and spring game QB overreactions.
  8. Michigan's spring game is this weekend. I'm guessing we won't hear anything about their DTs until next week.
  9. If someone starts their coach grading rubric off with "press conference", that person has absolutely no idea what they are talking about.
  10. I would think 4 with of one ready to play some meaningful snaps. And we should expect to take another 1-2 in the portal.
  11. In the near term, I am evaluating this hire by: - hold on to Brandon Brown. This is a test if he can keep a recruit that appears to have only committed because of Bo Davis. - development of Alfred Collins. This guy has been an enigma. If Baker can unlock his potential (I am thinking getting on an All SEC list type year), then this guy might be a really good hire.
  12. Performance of "Up and Coming Coaches" during Sark's tenure at Texas: Blake Gideon - Blessed as Muschamp's choice, has one more year to prove himself Brennan Marion - Good choice, bad results Tashard Choice - Great choice, great result Chris Jackson - "Who is this guy" grade for choice, good results so far AJ Milwee - What would he be without Sark? Performance of "Established Coaches" during Sark's tenure at Texas: Andre Coleman - Bad choice to retain, bad results Kyle Flood - Great choice; amazing results Jeff Banks - Great choice, great results Jeff Choate - Good choice, good results Pete Kwiatkowski - good choice, good results (finally) Terry Joseph - "Meh" choice, "meh" results Bo Davis - Great choice, great results (depth chart is underwhelming though)
