    Gagree. Either way I am going to fuck with you and if WL beats LT again this year katy bar the door. My oldest will be a freshman so between her and my other kid we are entering 8 years of HS starting next year.
     

     

     

    And if LT loses to WL again next year, I will deserve it cause there is no way LT should lose to Westlake. It shouldnt have happened last season, i will be suicidal if it happens this year!

    8 years? AWWWWW bless your heart. We have 5 kids. They are going to rename LT after our family!

    Adding more thoughts because I am on a plane and don’t have shit to do...


    Here is what I know about Card

    He is fast
    He is quick
    He can catch
    He has good hips
    He seems to have good durability.
    He is elusive in the open field.
    He has good size

    Here is what I don’t

    Can he throw consistently?
    Can he lead?
    Can he take a blindside hit?
    Can he hold on to the ball?
    Is he a dipshit that is going to get high and run his car into the side of the Orangetree apartments?

    Seems to me that all those questions will be answered this year and next. So my thought is that the early offer at the very least is a plus - simply for the athleticism.

    i think thats fair. i think i know the answers to those questions but would like to actually have the answers before he is our '20 QB commit.

    Sorry, but if it wasn't clear, I was passing on info worth taking into account, but not my own opinion. I'm open-minded, so I'm all for him being a heroic QB. That considered, while I've not seen him play, you aren't the only one who has, right? It's a data point. 

    got it.

    -Card is not a college QB. Stud athlete, but if he's taken as someone's QB, it won't be as THE QB in a class, unless they're stupid, desperate, or Longhorn94 has taken over the reins of running their program. He's the 2nd QB in a recruiting class who will end up at WR somewhere.

    Nah. Check back with me during the season and let me know if you still feel this way. Kid is a natural passer who happens to be a great athlete. I will be interested to see if your opinion changes.

    I want two QBs. Would you be against Card and Young in the same class?

    Me? I would love it! I want whatever is best for Texas. But I dont know if either Card or Young would agree to it. 

    I dont know if we need 2 in 20. Ehlinger, Rising, Thompson, Roschon, and Card or Young is pretty nice QB room.

    I think it's a mix of a few things. 247 needs to re-eval Texas because they still have Kenyon Green at the top, FFS. ESPN has Leal at 10 and Rivals has him at 25. I think he'll obviously climb in all of those but scheme fit and his college (re: NFL) position are a question as his skill set and size are in-between for a lot of schemes. He's not going to be a bursty up-the-field rusher at DE and he's not going to be on the nose whipping double teams. He's a freakish athlete that is a good fit at Texas because he could play 4i in early downs and slide in to play DT in passing/blitzing packages. I don't know how he fits playing a traditional 4 man front -- as 3 or 5 tech DT or a DE and his ranking may reflect that. He's also hurt on Rivals by the fact that he never gave a squirt of piss about OU. 

     

    Leal will be a DT in college and/or NFL. he has a massive frame with freakish athletic ability for someone that size. he would be unique and special as an interior Dlineman. he is just another guy on the edge.

    Thanks. I was just about to ask this question.

    Over/under on the minutes before LF94 says no wait he’s the greatest QB of a generation and it will be a QB offer after game 2 for Lake Travis this fall?

     

    well he is a cross between joe montana, john elway, and tom brady so im not sure what else i can say!

     

    i think this was a very smart move by the coaches. it helps offset the very real Baldwin effect from Ohio State and it puts Texas in the perfect position to offer at QB if after the second game, Hudson is as dominant as we all know he will be. they dont call him Hudson "jim thorpe" Card for nothing! 

    i think its a good sign wrt Wilson.

    I think the point, he, myself, and others have made is that the likelihood of us looking like anything other than a pile of shit on offense in this Spring game is unlikely. Very unlikely. Literally every 9.95 dingleberry has said as much, it's the one thing they're consistent on across sites. And as he said, the reason for that is a shitty makeshift line, a bad playcaller, a potentially rainy and wet field, etc. You keep saying "he's all texas if they show him something" but the thing you're asking them to show has about as much likelihood of being seen as Rosie O'Donnel at Le Bare while eating a fucking salad. In short, he's not coming here.

    Also, saying Ohio State looked mediocre in their spring game is a stupid, stupid defense. Like it or not, Urban has a long and storied history of offensive success. We've looked putrid for years, as recently as last. Guess what, he doesn't have to sell his resume.

    i dont think the offense on the field has to look like the second coming of the Rams' Greatest Show on Earth. i think Herman has to be able to sell a vision of the future: an improved line, improved QB play through a Jr Sam and Rising thereafter, an improved run game (Ingram, Cain, Evans), and a shitload of other great receivers. If he can't do that, we are fucked with Wilson and every other top offensive talent coming to visit. But if he can....

    If Wilson commits based on what he sees from a vanilla offense featuring a hodge-podge of 1s and 2s plus a makeshift offensive line on a possibly rainy night with a wet field, he will have either bamboozled nearly the entire recruiting industry, or Tim Beck will have called the game of his life.

    i dont understand what you are saying but if you are saying that the recruiting industry doesnt regularly overreact when a recruit has a good visit then i dont know what to tell you. they get it wrong all of the time.

    I think you're too close on this one, man. 

    i am as close as it gets but if i am wrong it wont be because of that. it will be that Wilson didnt see what he needed to see from Texas. i think he will see what he needs and i think herman will be able to offset the gains OSU made.

    So now we've had one report that Leal wrecked shit all game long against LT, and one report that he took plays off. Don't ever change, shaggy surly.

    Its not that conflicting. He was disruptive but he also took plays off when he got tired.

    Maybe he and his parents aren't telling the lake Travis mafia because it would spread like wildfire, but he told Ohio State that he's going there, and it's obvious he told his buddy Higgins as well

    Maybe we knock this OV out of the park and get him to change his mind and delay, but I doubt it. A great season overall, especially offensively, could potentially change his mind. We'll see. 

    Nah, thats not what happened. He didnt tell Higgins anything. He didnt commit to OSU.

    Seems like you get less confident with every post...

    I kid. Appreciate the info.

    I cant or wont get further into details here. I am not less confident. I expected Urbs to do what he does and make a big push. He is a great, great recruiter. I saw that first hand with Baldwin. But I expect Herman to do the same thing and counter Urbs. If all things are equal, Wilson is going to Texas.

  14. Everything I have heard, parents, teammates, Texas coaches, all believe that Wilson has not made up his mind at this point. I would not take Higgins' comment over Wilson's parents, his best friends or the Texas coaches. That said, OSU definitely made a strong pitch and became a viable option. Baldwin played a big role in that discussion. I stand by my statement that if Texas gives him a reason to commit, he will be a Longhorn. His parents want him at Texas. He wants to be part of the group that brings Texas back. I trust Herman, Naivar, Washington, Carrington, and Huff will do what it takes to get him in burnt orange.

     

    As for Leal, he definitely was not the best DLineman LT played against last season. Ojomo was the best LT played all season. But Leal had the highest ceiling due to his size, frame and overall ability to move so well for a guy that big. Leal took a lot of plays off and got winded pretty quickly into both games. He was singled most of both games by LT's right tackle who will be playing at Midwestern State in the Fall. Although, LT did chip him with a back and TE at times. So while he was the best prospect from a size, speed, movement perspective, he wasnt as disruptive or as effective as Ojomo. If I had to take one or the other, it would be Leal based on his ceiling.

    Regarding the "passing offense" is he basing this off of the spring game? 

    I think the Texas offense is going to look much different in the fall with the insertion of Ingram and Anderson. Also Cade Brewer is returning. We could also take a couple grad transfers at all purpose back and slot WR. 

    I think he wants to see continued progress, development, and evolution of the offense.  It's more about hope and being able to see that he can be productive in it rather than specific plays. The offense was a trainwreck at times last season. Qb needs to look better. Offensive line needs to be serviceable. I think Herman will deliver.
