  1. I went to high school with a Trey Owens so this one hits pretty close to home for me. Hook’em Trey!
  2. I’m guessing Trey Owens will at least be a solid 4 star by the time it’s all said and done. He’ll be a good developmental prospect for sure.
  3. Seriously though, if our lawmakers want to investigate something, they should lead a federal probe into why Texas doesn’t have a gymnastics program. #nocloakroom
  4. Unless, Quinn can totally fix his deep ball accuracy struggles, I hope we can make it a major focus to target Whittington, Sanders, and Cain on intermediate routes much more often. Those types of throws are already Quinn’s sweet spot. Let’s emphasize that.
  5. I’m not a baseball expert either, but I played through high school. In my mind, baseball more than any other sport, hinges on consistent and continuous player development. You just never know when you’ve maxed out someone’s ability to recognize and react to pitches, their arm strength, etc.
  6. Sydir Mitchell was also playing but not sure if he ever got his name called. I just had the game on in the background while making dinner, so I could have missed it.
  7. So they’ll probably get drafted high and never enroll at Texas? Just want to make sure my expectations are accurately set.
  8. I understand why people are frustrated with him, but how about we stop shitting on him until he’s actually gone. If I had to guess, I’d assume the coaches are giving him through spring practice to shape up. If he doesn’t, he’s cut off. Perhaps we give him the same timeline.
  9. There’s no reason to believe that TCU can’t become the Clemson of the southwest. They’re going to leverage this championship appearance (and possible national championship victory) as well as their conference record against us to pull in some metroplex trophy fish ‘croots for years to come. That said, there no reason why we can’t simultaneously be perennial top 10 teams, but they will be a thorn in our side long after we change conferences.
  10. Wow, we had a bunch of emotional pansies posting in this thread last night. Quinn played a really solid game. I have no doubt he’ll develop this off season and at least raise his floor quite a bit.
  11. Off ball is the crap we had Joseph Ossai doing his first two seasons. On ball/edge/EDGE is what he was doing in year 3.
  12. I guess once they’ve gotten you to purchase the diamonds, complimentary rearranging of said jewels is a no brainer.
  13. Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Porn Stars, Gorillas, and 6-Stars?
  14. I can't wait for Sark to pull the classic Dad-coach move by not starting him the first game to appear unbiased, and then starting him at shortstop/pitcher - uh I mean MLB - the rest of his career. Should go well.
  15. Good bump. Derion is featured in this The Athletic article about recruits turning down college coaches. Pretty good read. https://theathletic.com/3978878/2022/12/08/college-football-recruiting-offers/?source=user_shared_article
  16. Taking Harris would reek of desperation. Make him have to transfer down a level and prove he can keep his nose clean and grades up for a year before reconsidering. Also, if a player is truly expelled from school, does he really have to transfer? Wouldn't it just be starting over?
  17. When he switched to RB I figured he'd at least be serviceable. It took one game for me to be convinced he had NFL potential. He deserves all the love and recognition that comes his way. When he retires from the NFL as a millionaire, give him a Michael Huff role in the RBs room.
  18. Now that would be unprecedented. Also, the recruiting board's transfer thread grew by 11 pages in two damn work days. Thanks @LTtxfanfor starting a thread for just actual news.
  19. It's very rare for schools in non-mountainous or cool climates to compete for a championship in XC. Arkansas is the only major exception and that was back in the 80s/90s. We'd need to allow our team to train with UTEP and attend classes remotely to stand a chance.
