  1. Tope is as skeptical of Connor as we are, apparently. "It's hard to see who's progressing without seeing every practice. On the fan side of things, we only see who the starters are and that pretty much a good indicator of who is showing the most progression - or who is the most conistant in the correct way to block, rather. Some of the biggest probably with oline is pad level, hand placement, stepping underneath yourself, being late off the ball. 95% of the time if it's not a busted play or you just getting your ass beat outright by like a bull rush, it's one of those things. For example, If you see Hayden Connor stepping underneath himself in 2021, and hes doing the same in 2024 and he's a starter, he's either a) knows his assignment and where/when he sometimes to be there or b) there's no one pushing him in terms taking his spot - and thats an indicator of the guys behind him. Ultimately, to notice these things, you have to identifiy who was beat, how they got beat, then why. It's hard to work backwards like this when they game is happening in real time because it's easier to watch the skill guys do cool shit. I still know guys on the Oline so I have a vested interested in what they do more."
  2. I don’t believe there is anyone of major substance for the upcoming season. Texas will be playing a ton of small ball.
  3. Uhhh… this might be a little hyperbolic. Third-best RPI conference.
  4. I don't want to know where this team would be without Boehm.
  5. It was probably Baylor
  6. Agreed. It'd be slightly better for Texas' offensive numbers too.
  7. I surmise your alternatives are spot on. My bet is it's a rather low scoring game, a la OSU @ ND last season. ND should have a solid, well-coached defense. I don't think A&M's new offense will be primed to match up well. The wild card is ND's offense against Elko's defense.
  8. He’s from Fontana, CA, so he’s used to hot weather in the summer. However, this will still be a different type of summer hot. You’re right, though. It’ll be extreme compared to Corvallis.
  9. Which is funny, because they're (39) currently one spot ahead of Texas (40) in the RPI. Damn all those Q4 losses
  10. And that’s why you don’t go to Lummus and give up the two early runs.
  11. If Toppin stays in the draft, Texas is really in some front court trouble.
  12. I.e., the value of what in many other years is the 19th overall pick? It'll be interesting to see in five years where this draft class actually ranks since, say, 2000. I know, right now, it's looked at as holistically deficient.
  13. X-posting myself from the game thread: IP by season. Ace: 2023: 26.1 2024: 54.2 Max: 2023: 8.2 2024: 64.0 That's a large difference for Ace (especially pitching through a nagging injury) and a massive increase for Max. Texas is in the postseason regardless of what happens at this point; and has no shot to host. So, it makes sense for Pierce to give Ace a "rest", limit Max, and see if Hurley can work his way back as a realistic starting option for the postseason. For Texas to do anything positive in the NCAA Tournament, pitching must step the fuck up. Hold onto your butts, friends.

  15. I agree with the point of your post. However, while Toppin is very good, he measured in at 6'7 flat without shoes at the NBA combine (with over a 7'0 wingspan). Regardless, Toppin would be massive addition. We still need bigs - hopefully the UCLA transfer. Buyuktuncel is listed at 6'9, but no idea if that's a true measurement. Although, he's still very raw, and I'm not sure how much production we could expect.
  16. Yeah, this is total bullshit.
  17. That’s for 2025. We don’t go to Maui this year.
  18. JC seemed like one of this year’s “get in the boat early before we run out of room due to higher-ranked guys” commitments. Similar to Kibble last year. That being said, I think he could be a real asset as a nasty IOL. He plays with a great motor.
  19. Sweep Kansas and it probably won’t matter. But as @WBT pointed out, I bet they send Texas to Arky or Aggy regardless.
