    Cross post from Christmas and NY Menu thread.

    My MIL decided we needed something special added to the Christmas menu (which has yet to be determined) - pretzels.  Big, cook in the oven, pretzels.  WTF am I supposed to do with pretzels?  I could get some bratwurst, knackwurst, sauerkraut, mustard and other German things to serve with the fucking pretzels.  However, I've half decided to have a Concession Stand themed Christmas dinner - nachos with cheese from a large can, pickles, sausage wraps, frito pie, and, of course, pretzels.

    Another direction would be fondue!  Also you need to add funnel cakes.

    So now that ILB is secured, should we start panicking about depth at DT with a potential move to a 4-3?

    Wilbon and Chisholm are seniors. Christmas a Junior.

    We have Coburn and Ojomo as Freshman.

    We recruited Broughton (DE/DT) and Gorman.

    I'm guessing several of our young DE guys fall into a DT slot?

    How could you forget Sweat?

    I literally want Major to happen for the sole purpose of being able to make this joke all the time.

    Also because some people just want to watch the world burn, and I'm becoming one of those people.

    If we can’t have nice things, then let’s get weird.

    In discussions about recruiting needs vs. roster requirements, I haven't seen a lot about the receiver group.  The situation there seems - to me - to be pretty dire.  ((Especially when you factor in their experience (or lack thereof)).  And one that needs to be prioritized way higher that it currently seems to be, based on Surl posts.

    A few data points:

    WIDE RECEIVERS

    Our current 2020 receiver class consists of 

    - Troy Omerire, an A&M flip (who's been panned by the Surl).

    - and Dajon Harrison, a one-time TCU commit and late Texas commit.

     

    Looking at our current roster, with

    - Pouncey transfering, 

    - Josh Moore possibly having to leave, 

    - and Burt, CJ and Duvernay graduating, 

    the entirety of our receiver corps - not counting RBs, TEs, etc. -  consists of

    - player (career catches / career yards)

    - Brennan Eagles (31 / 553)

    - Jake Smith (25 / 274)

    - Malcolm Epps (21 / 250)

    - Alvonte Woodard (2 / 21)

    - Marcus Washington (3 / 33)

    - Kennedy Lewis (1 / 37)

    So that's 83 catches / 1168 yards. Combined. For their careers.

    - To put that in perspective, CeeDee Lamb had over 1,200 yards this year.  By himself. 

    - And Lamb and Rambo had 90 catches combined this year.

    For all the discussion about LBs, etc., shouldn't we be looking for at least 1, possibly 2 receivers on the Juco/transfer markets for immediate help?  (If we can find half way decent ones, obviously.)

    (There was a question above about TEs;  for a league that uses receivers heavily, we have 4 returning TEs and 6 returning (pure) receivers.  Which isn't to say we have too many TEs, but that we have too few receivers.)

    Thoughts, Surl gurus?

    Duvernay also had over 1200 yards this season and caught more than 90 himself. 
     

    What were his career numbers prior to this season?  
     

    Talented guys can get it done even if they haven’t before. 
     

    that do anything for you?

    He did not follow through on his OV to Texas in December due to his state tournament. It has been reported he signed today and will announce at the UA game. If he did in fact sign today, he would not be allowed to take more OVs, effectively eliminating us as an option. He OVd to Oregon and Georgia.

    He can sign with us and still take his OV to us. PJ Locke did it.

    If he signed, as he said he would, then takes his OV here, that would kind of defeat the idea that he is keeping it a surprise, now wouldn’t it?
