  1. Wasn’t Jacoby Mathews a silent at one point? If a silent doesn’t announce within a couple of weeks, not sure it’s even worth mentioning anymore.
  2. I remember how much shit he used to talk to Omenihu back when they were both recruits. Charles got the last laugh.
  3. Snelling is also a baseball first guy. Going in for Patton makes sense either way.
  4. He’s already a high 3-star and committed to Cal. He doesn’t really need to go to all these team camps, but he is anyway, I like that.
  5. Are we sure aggy moved away from him? Honestly asking, because that’s the usual spin once it becomes clear a prospect isn’t heading there.
  6. Those NFL numbers are spin, and it looks like that research paper took the NFLs numbers at face value (one of their sources is literally NFL.com.) Players who make the opening day roster their rookie seasons average a 6 year career, not all players who make any opening day roster. You’re eliminating a huge part of the league to get that six year average. They’re playing with numbers. https://www.sportscasting.com/how-long-is-the-average-nfl-career/ “The NFL likes to play down the actual numbers, calling them a “myth” and making it seem like NFL players have longer careers than they actually do. The league once issued a press release discussing the topic, claiming that the average player’s career lasts for six years or more. However, the NFL included a bunch of qualifiers in its calculations.”
  7. The median salary is less than a million, not at one million. I believe it’s around 850k and that’s before taxes. It’s still obviously a lot, just not nearly as much as people tend to think. Even your 2.5mil number is way too high.
  8. The average NFL career is 2.5 years, and the median NFL salary is less than a million. The average NFL player isn’t nearly as wealthy as most people think to begin with.
  9. I don’t think there is any way they pull his offer immediately. If he’s not in the class it’ll either be a slow play by us or a quick decision by him. But I think the staff will want to keep him. Their other RB take just got a lot more important though.
  10. It’s indisputably a bad thing for Texas football. I don’t think anyone other than Wescott is arguing otherwise. What I don’t care about is any wider discussion about “kids these days”. It was honestly my way of saying I only care about it from a football perspective. I hope he changes his mind, but if he doesn’t, the staff has to treat him strictly as their RB2, if they keep him at all.
  11. When I first glanced at this, I thought it was a decommitment, so I guess it could be worse. I’ve got nothing against the kid and don’t care about any supposed larger moral conundrum this raises. But if he’s opting out of high school early, he’s going to opt out of college early too if he’s any good at all. I’d actually feel better if this was the case. If it’s just a kid making an emotional decision in the heat of the moment that’s more workable than the alternative imo.
  12. If OSU takes him, he will magically become a 4-star like the Lake Travis QB a few years back.
  13. Weigman actually is a 5-star in the composite right now. It’s stupid, but he is.
  14. He’s a top 4 player in the country, as long as he doesn’t have a major injury, he’s probably going to be a first round pick. The NBA drafts on potential and he’s already shown plenty of that. School choice isn’t nearly as important for these one and dones as y’all like to pretend it is.
  15. College isn’t going anywhere, and if his family are all successful, paying for it won’t be an issue, even if he fails professionally. His physical prime however, that has a time limit on it.
  16. The only way he may be wrong is because recruits spend absolutely no time at all even thinking about those two to form an opinion.
  17. Tough luck for Brenen Thompson then, would’ve won in literally any other year before this one. Wilson is apparently only a sophomore, that is super impressive.
  18. 10.38 is what Tyler Owens ran in the 6A State final and he finished second only to Matthew Boling. That is flying at 3A, gotta be a state record at that level.
  19. Good call, If it weren't for you telling me this a week ago, I would've thought even USC wouldn't bother with this one, but they love their mediocre players from Texas. I can see the upside in Ingram, but this and some of their TXHS takes are not awe-inspiring. Feels like some guys are just trying to justify their paychecks.
  20. That is more money than every 7th rounder is going to get, and more than most 6th rounders. Once you get around pick 200, it’s better to be a desired udfa than getting drafted.
  21. DT does a podcast with a regular on this board, you all could just ask him instead of wildly speculating. I do believe the majority of fans and 9.95ers are rooting for Card to win the job. Card is the local kid from Lake Travis and was a much higher ranked recruit. Thompson is an Oklahoman who wasn’t even the highest rated QB take in his own class. I don’t think any of that affects this coaching staff though, they didn’t even recruit any of these kids. And if the local stuff affected them, they would’ve went after Klubnik instead of Murphy.
