    Imagine thinking Raikes is more athletic than Broughton. Imagine that being your reality.

    He's referring to A&M commit Dallas Walker.  Big, strong mobile SEC-sized kid who plays DT, DE, and TE for his high school.  Like Broughton, he can play 3tech DT and SDE at the P5 level.

    Raikes is a 0-tech NT type.  High motor kid with excellent quickness and agility.  A&M has 4* WDE Fadil Diggs committed too.  Like Texas and OU, they're recruiting nationally and doing it quite well.  They're still in the final group of schools for 4* Umanmielen, 4* McKinley Jackson, and the high 4* de from Florida.   Defensive line recruiting is not a problem for that staff.

    Even if they could add Evans, they expect him to run behind a full line of guard cubes. Good luck getting to the second level if your line can’t get to the lbs in less time than it takes them to eat a ham sandwich

    They had a lesser rb than Evans lead the SEC in rushing and run for 1700+ yds last season behind that Oline.   The two starting tackles were low 3*'s.  

    Give the devil his due.  Fisher is as good as any playcaller / OC in P5 at designing and executing run schemes which successfully attack and exploit the weaknesses in opposing defenses.

    He has D1 athleticism and can likely play multiple positions. It’s not hard to figure out why he’s a take.

    Idk what you’re talking about re camps but if you watch his hudl, he has elite athleticism. He’s raw, but one of the main technical points of route running is keeping your feet directly under you. He can learn shit like that, but other people can’t learn to be 6’4 with a frame to carry 245 lbs with his athleticism and hands. 

     

    Either I have a different definition of "elite athleticism" than you have, or I watched the wrong junior szn hudl tape then.  There was not a single play in that hudl tape that said 'elite athlete' to me.  He looks like he could develop into a reliable jag D1 tight end and contribute on special teams.   There's nothing wrong with that.   Programs need those types too.

  4. Stowers and Milroe are both projects.   

    Not unusual for junior-qb's-to-be.   But if their pass completion % and td to int ratio don't improve considerably as juniors and seniors, then yeah that would be a bad sign.

    Dematrious Davis is a lot more developed as a qb, but he's listed as 5' 11".   Course so are Mayfield, Brees, and Kyler.   Very high completion %.

    The sophmore qb at Lubbock Coronado has impressive tape.   He only has one P5 offer so far (Wisconsin).   Pro-style qb.

    We're not Clemson or Bama but we're not Washington or Michigan either. We don't curl up in a ball when we have to play our rival like Michigan does, and we don't come up short consistently in marquee OOC games like UW has.

    We are kind of singular as a program right now, and that's why nobody can figure us out.

    Texas is not anywhere close to the level of Clemson or Bama, true.   Texas is also not above Washington's level.  

    Washington has 32 wins, two Pac12 titles, and one CFP appearance in the past 3 seasons.   

    Texas fits in somewhere in the Stanford / Oregon / Michigan / Wisconsin / A&M / LSU / Auburn / Penn State / Iowa / Notre Dame / Georgia / Michigan / Washington pecking order of second-tier teams.
