Kinda surprised KSU was able to put it on TCU like that. KState seems to be peaking at the right time, while TCU seems to be floundering.
KSU's defense has been really good of late (or their pace is really slow). Over their last 6 games they've given up:
KU - 59 (L)
TCU - 54 (W)
OU - 57 (W)
WVU - 65 (L)
ISU - 56 (W)
TCU - 50 (W)

Damn D O G! You member when there was a time every player on the field, every fan in the stadium, and the millions watching at home knew what Nebraska was about to run? We all knew! Few teams could do spit about it either. You member? I member. What the hell happened?
Oh, I forgot one. Username shoulda reminded me... RollLeft happened.
After that, Texas always just knew they could beat Nebraska.

Big XII academic standards, walk-on limits, national tv contracts for almost all schools, Mack Brown, Texas high schools switch from option attacks to passing offenses, better-informed recruits, defensive rules changes, air-raid offenses, improved defensive schemes, freak athletes emerging on DL's counteracting cornfed OL's, Vince Young, stagnant culture, over-inflated self worth, fixation on the past, inability to adjust, chasing greener pastures, fleeing from BigXII competition, conceding Texas recruiting base, trashing tradition, miscalculating B1G pecking order (OSU, Mich, Penn St., Wisky, Mich St, then Iowa/Neb/Minn/Purdue/Illinois in some order), & probably a few others I'm forgetting.

Kadavion Dotson (WR) also likes Texas and is going to be a legit prospect.

Freshman highlights look pretty good. In a couple clips he has a slow first step but once he hits second gear, he has speed.
Unsure if he played varsity or not. If so, it's a really good tape. If he played on the freshman team, then I'd hope to see a little more.

The one issue I can see is with the sheer number of Big 12 teams in the 3-4-5 range the NCAA could play funny with our seeding to avoid playing another big 12 team before the Elite 8 round.
With 7 locks, it's not too hard to figure out an easy way to keep the teams split
Region I - 1 Baylor 3 Kansas
Region II - 3 Texas 5 Tech OR 4 Texas 6 Tech
Region III - 2/3 West Virginia 4 Oklahoma St.
Region IV - 6 Oklahoma

Just now, Fud said:
Pipeline implies future additions, not a package deal for two local kids who were good friends before IMG and would have likely gone to A&M even if they hadn't went to IMG
How's that pipeline working for them now? Zero IMG kids since those two
I think Mond was going to Baylor and Ausbon was going to LSU prior to IMG. But yes, aggy gonna aggy.
Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State seem to do a pretty good job of grabbing two or three guys a year out of IMG. I don't know if that's due to a pipeline effect or whether it's just those 4 schools play the game and recruit nationally.
There's literally no downside to making the Longhorns a presence on the IMG campus, and having us on the tongues of IMG players when they discuss where their current and former teammates commit/attend. Whether or not that fits your definition of a pipeline is immaterial. If a player goes to his coach and asks "where should I take my talents?" , you want Texas coming out of that coach's mouth.

Which IMG kids have helped land other kids?
Kellen Mond dragged Jhamon Ausbon with him to A&M

IMG kids are mercenaries. You don't really start pipelines there. You just hope to independently land one of their players from time to time
That may be true to an extent, but grabbing one or two guys a year from IMG makes it much more likely to grab a guy in the following years.I'd love for Texas to somehow work the new NIL program into something with IMG's marketing, sports management, and agent division to help steer kids to Texas.

I also forgot about Emarion Ellis (combo guard) signed for 2021. https://247sports.com/player/emarion-ellis-46097931/
Austin Nunez is the 2022 PG we're likely after. https://247sports.com/player/austin-nunez-46098087/

I don't spend a lot of time following basketball recruiting, but supposedly Tamar Bates is that guy.
Keyonte George at iSchool (fake school in Lewisville) would be a huge get.

He's the shooting guard from IMG. We likely need a true PG and a couple other guard options.

Outlook vs KU has improved, with 2 of their players now COVID ineligible. Hopefully sand aggy still demoralized from Sunday's 2nd half scoring clinic by Baylor.
I'm more concerned about Kansas giving our guys the 'Rona and knocking us out for the next 2 weeks. The more I think about it, the more inclined I am to agree with @Bitterwhiteguy's suggestion that we take an early L and quickly extricate ourselves with extreme prejudice from the potential COVID superspreader event in KC.

A deep tourney run combined with a recruiting pitch of "There's gonna be tons of playing time when Coleman, Ramey, Febres, AJ graduate" could realistically result in landing a couple freshman guards that can ball.
On the flip side - If we have a quick tourney exit, Shaka will find himself in Tom Herman territory. An imminent roster problem on the horizon combined with heavy job insecurity, will just compound the issue and lead to an inability to recruit. Then he's truly fucked.

I think I'm more optimistic than most about next year. For me, the best predictor of NCAA success is upper-class experience at the guard positions. If Febres comes back, we could be starting 3 senior guards plus junior Donovan Williams in essentially a 4-guard lineup. All of them should get marginally better over the next year, especially Williams who has had a really down year.
They all have good size at the college level. At 6'3 and 6'4, Ramey and Jones will be bigger than most guards we face. Then at 6'5 and 6'6, Febres and Williams wouldn't be that undersized at the 3/4. We would really need a 5 who can defend, get elite boards, and run the floor. I don't think that is Hepa or Brock. Maybe one of the freshmen.
I'm much more worried about the next year when all these guys graduate. It could get ugly. Shaka needs to be recruiting his ass off for 2022 if he wants to stick around.

How many losses are we hoping for? I lost count.
I've done a bunch of research, and it appears 0 or 1 is most likely.

Art Briles is still looking to make a return to college football. Is KU willing to bring him in?

Then there's the opposite, like in 2018-2019 where we lost 4 of 5 to end the regular season, lost our only game in the Big XII tourney, and then rolled through the NIT and won the natty.
