    If it ends up being a merger down the road whatever it becomes could take over the longhorn internet. Especially if Gerry comes into the fold again 

    Seems unlikely. Bobby likes running a "clean" ship, and if they're monetizing, then peoples feelings and being safe spacy will be important. That being said if Immamac will be a figure over there, I'll happily sub there as well. Gerry/Bobby have always been solid.

  2. Blake Munroes notes on yesterdays Junior Day.

     

    Spoiler

    This morning I spoke with a handful of prospects who were on campus yesterday at Texas.  Here are a couple of highlights from those conversation.

    - Missouri City (Hightower) 2025 four-star safety Kade Phillips had a good time on his visit.  He mentioned that the overall environment of the day was a major positive and that he was treated well. He will visit Texas A&M and Baylor next weekend.

    - Henry Harris is a name to keep an eye on for the 2026 class.  The 6-foot-5, 180-pound wide receiver from San Marcos met with Texas wide receivers coach Chris Jackson for quite some time yesterday and it sounds like that made a strong impression on him.  Harris currently holds offers from California, Texas Tech and Texas State, but that should change this spring.  It's obviously very early in his recruitment and his stock should blow up in the near future.

    - Prosper 2026 OT Zaden Krempin was one of many talented offensive linemen on campus yesterday and met up with Texas OL Daniel Cruz while there.  The two have trained with each other for the past two years and Cruz has been in his ear about the Longhorns. He said that, after visiting, he can easily see why Cruz decided to go to Texas.  Krempin already holds 14 offers from the likes of Florida State, Missouri, Texas A&M, Ole Miss and more.  He will visit Texas A&M and Arkansas next, with plans to return to Austin in the near future.  His current leaders are TCU, Texas A&M and SMU.

    - QB recruiting seems to always happen very early and that's the case with Waco University 2027 prospect Savoy Nichols.  He already has the size, as he measured in at 6-foot-4, 172-pounds yesterday on campus.  Nichols met with both AJ Milwee and Tashard Choice and raved about both coaches, along with his visit.  He was invited back to take part in their first camp in a couple of months. Oklahoma, TCU, Nebraska, Baylor and Kansas are already showing interest, but he has no plans to visit elsewhere at this time.

    SIAP but is Blackshire being brought in mainly for special teams? Only 25 tackles in 3 years at Bama so doesn't seem likely to play a ton of LB

    Upthread it was mentioned hes special teams + run stopper. 3rd and short situations.

    I really need to get around to watching Oppenheimer...

    It's incredible. I don't watch may movies these days but I've watched that one 4 times. I cant recommend it enough.

    AND punk his old buddy Sark?  The AZ reporter is as bad as Looch and Fat Ketch - wait are they really all the same person with different headshots?  

    Anyway, I feel pretty confident that a coach who has had his own system for a few years did not just accept his job at UA with a contingency/idea to re-hire the DC whom he has no relationship with.  

    Fair points.

    If they're hiring Brennan, I don't understand any concern.  Do we really think he's going to quit the job and then just go back to the same job a week after getting a higher paying job at Texas?  Does he have any relationship with Brennan?

    Relationship with Brennan no. However its been heavily rumored he just wanted out from under Fisch and would take his old role to be play caller.

    Would have been nice if we could wait to release until a DL coach is hired but I guess that's still a few weeks away and not worth the bad blood it would create.

    This is completely my thinking. Why not wait until the spring portal season, see if you mesh with the new coach, and if not then leave. At least you can say you tried. Definition of committing to a coach not a school but it is what it is.
