    I have completely given up projecting and evaluating OL. I'm pretty sure watching Tray Allen's HS film and trying to reconcile it to his college career cured me of that fool's errand for good.

    Look at the 4 and 5 star busts we stockpiled for years with disastrous results, only to finally field a competent line for the first time in a decade comprised of: a 2 star LT transfer from fucking Rice, a 3 star C who we snatched last minute from Kansas State (other offers: Army, ASU and Cincinatti), a 3 star G who was a Wickline special who's best offer was Colorado (other offers: Arkansas State, Arizona State and Fresno State), another 3 star T who looks like a future all conference player and was a late addition to Herman's transition class (offered by Memphis, Houston and TCU), and Patrick Vahe (the only 4 star of the bunch and arguably its weakest link). And the next best player we have on the Oline is Kerstetter, another 3 star who Herman pulled from Okie State with competing offers from juggernauts Bowling Green, Colorado State and Houston.

    In the meantime, here are the 4 and 5 star OL we recruited between 2007 and 2016. This list is more stomach turning than Vic's POF thread:

    Tray Allen (5*)

    Michael Huey (4*)

    Kyle Hix (4*)

    Aundre McGaskey (4*)

    David Snow (4*)

    Mark Buchanan (4*)

    Mason Walters (5*)

    Thomas Ashcraft (4*)

    Paden Kelly (4*)

    Garrett Porter (4*) 

    Trey Hopkins (4*)

    Dominic Espinosa (4*)

    Sedrick Flowers (4*)

    Garrett Greenlea (4*)

    Josh Cochran (4*)

    Curtis Riser (4*)

    Camrhon Hughes (4*)

    Donald Hawkins (4*) Juco

    Darius James (4*) 

    Jake Raulerson (4*)

    Rami Hammad (4*)

    Patrick Vahe (4*)

    Pat Hudson (4*)

    Jean Delance (4*)

    JP Uriquidez (4*)

    Denzel Okafor (4*)

     

     

     

     

     

    This hurts. I wonder how much of this is player development. I know 247 tracks what % of 5/4/3 stars get drafted, but has anyone seen if they track it by position group? Would be interesting to see if OL/DL have a much higher bust rate, even across other schools.

    It still blows my mind that people think UT paid for the jetpack guy.  I don't even know how anyone gets near that assumption.

    Fuck him and Steve Patterson though.

    It just "grinds my gears" that people think UT paid jetpack guy $, so that Mighty Fine could use jetpack guy in a "commercial" before games.

    Not all promotions are 100% paid for by the sponsor

  3. Have two for sale - Section 18 row 37. Looks like stubhub is ~$280 after fees. Shaggy discount transferring to a surly discount so make a reasonable offer. Can mail to you or meet up Friday before the game.
