Folks that have watched a lot of film on Evans, is there any concern that he is already so developed that he may not have much upside in college??
I watched him in the 2018 state championship game, and came away a little underwhelmed by his performance.
(Found this quote on the State Final: "Duncanville (14-1) wouldn't allow Evans to flourish like he had been all season. He only had 11 carries for 38 yards through two quarters. He finished with 21 carries for 96 yards." )
Evans could make minimal improvement and still be a great college RB. 0 concern. He can do it all. Run, pass, block. He’s got everything you’d want in a RB except for maybe 4.4 speed.
The state title game just goes to show that the RB position can be stopped by scheme/game plan.

Well, I"m sure y'all have been waiting on bated breath to see if I got some of the OF Rye, and I did. J&J Spirits came through and held their last bottle for me. It's pretty damn good. Real smooth but the flavor was a little tamer than I expected for a rye. I also picked up a bottle of Old Overholt Bonded Rye that's pretty damn good too, so it's been a good weekend.

I don't think we've seen the full extent of Orlando's usage of the B-backer yet at Texas, in part because we haven't had a really good group at the position. Heck, in 2017 we used dime a ton because Hughes wasn't really worth keeping on the field.
At Houston Bowser was used in a lot of different roles. With Ossai we'll hopefully get the chance this year.
Yeah, I was referencing how he used Bowser, you know, the true B-backer he had for two years, who was 6’3, 235 and had 8.5 sacks in 8 games his senior year.

The difference isn't that trivial, every bit of length helps when you're trying to add bulk/grapple with OTs.
With regards to Wells, he probably sees Ossai as the ideal for the position in terms of length/size, and Sylvester's measurements are closer to Ossai's. B-backer is technically supposed to be a hybrid spot, he'll have his hand in the dirt and will at times drop into pass coverage as well. Lots of roles to fill.
What difference? 6’2 and 6’3? If you’re talking about weight the. You’re just being your usual self and ignoring all reason for the sake of pessimism. He’s 210 his junior year of HS while playing basketball. He can easily play college at 235+ like both those guys did. Tyus Bowser was 6’3, 205 coming out of HS and played B-backer at an extremely high level in Orlando’s defense at 6’3, 235. Dorbah’s size is not an issue in the slightest.
and Orlando doesn’t use his b-backer much as a hand in the dirt DE tasked with taking on an OT in the run game. At most, he has his b-backer shoot a gap, which Dorbah will be fine with. He uses the b-backer more in coverage and Dorbah looks to have plenty of athleticism to drop or run over to cover a bubble screen.

I hope A&M keeps him. Rather have him play for those clowns than play for OU.
I mean I’d rather he end up elsewhere but OU will get good linemen no matter what and Aki ain’t that special. Plus, now aggy’s staring down the barrel at taking 1 good OL in two classes, so we have that to laugh at.

Odd/interesting take from Justin Wells. I think he, like Rivals, was maybe expecting Dorbah to be a bit taller/longer than 6' 2"? At the very least, 6' 2" and 210 lbs. sounds like he'll be a good linebacker/pure pass rusher even if he can't play other spots on the D-line. But it is in tweener territory.
Apparently he's also a year old for his age.
I don’t get people worried about his size. Von Miller is 6’3, 250 in the NFL right now. Clay Matthews was around the same. Dorbah’s size won’t be an issue at all at B-backer.

51/72 innings pitched so far from Texas have been by underclassmen arms. So about 71%. Really young pitching staff but loaded with talent.
This team will be much, much better by the end of the year than it is now. Exciting stuff.

Rivals seems to think Troy Omeire's name is actually "Tony". It's been misspelled as such multiple times in their tweets/
Well considering they posted a non-existent recruit on their site a couple weeks ago, I’d say that theyre making progress.

I was curious about this, so I talked on the phone to a buddy of mine who's "in the know" (yeah yeah I know it sounds douchey to say, but he has a family member on the coaching staff) a few minutes ago and he says it's mainly due to Beard deciding to make Moretti the primary ball handler rather than a mix of Culver and Mooney that has made the biggest difference in the half court offense, in addition to actively looking for open spot up shooting rather than trying to play mostly in the paint with Culver as the offensive focus and using outside/midrange shooting as a last resort like we were in the first 2/3 of the season.
He also said that Beard basically realized that he was trying to have us play in the half court as if we were still last year's team which had much more pure driving/paint scoring ability (Evans/Niem/Zhaire/Zach/etc) and this year's team is much more of a spot up shooting group aside from Culver's driving ability. It always perplexed me early on in the season and Big 12 play that we were shooting from the perimeter so badly considering we actually have very good shooters on the team but it makes sense when you consider how we basically wanted to live in the paint and use outside/midrange shooting as a last resort. We've been playing great offense lately literally by just embracing the team's skillset rather than trying to put a square peg in a round hole.
Grain of salt, etc. since it's 3rd-hand information but it makes sense to me.
Texas Tech has a good coach. Texas does not. Beard (and plenty of others) would work wonders with UT’s roster.

He looked terrible in the championship game
He looked terrible against OU too. I see people saying he's the #1 S in the draft and some have mocked him in the top 15. I don't see it at all. A lot of Alabama safeties tend to be products of the system, and I think he's one of them. He was covered by good pass rush and the system all year, yet when they played an offense on the same talent level as their defense, he got exposed in space. I could see him being a total mess like HaHa Clinton Dix.

Apparently we sold him on playing the LJH role
Interesting. I don't see that one at all. He's not quick/dynamic enough to play that much receiver IMO. He seems to me like a guy that will play at like 6'2, 245 and I don't see any way he could make it in the slot, but oh well.

I was responding more to the analyst, Roach, who said, "Jordan is pretty open at this point, but Texas is pitching him on playing a hybrid running back/slot role". I would imagine we said the same thing to Mookie ie. jet sweeps and reverses and slot receiver.
I mean I guess but I'd say Jordan would be utilized like Whittington, while Mookie will be utilized like Jake Smith. They're overlapping skillsets but pretty different uses in this offense, so theirs easily room for both and I doubt it will be a problem to recruit both.

This was my thought. OU has utilized a guy like Henderson better than almost any school in the country over the last 5 years, and Henderson always seemed pro-OU. It would've been good to have him in the class, but it's not much of a loss. I struggled to see him be all that useful in our O scheme. I doubt he could be a full time TE and we have too many other dynamic weapons to use him a ton as purely an H-back.

EJ just put in a flip pick for Akinola to OU.
So A&M's new coach is going to come in and start fixing their class made up primarily of bread by losing the best one of the bunch? Sounds like a solid plan, aggy.
This year could prove to be rough for aggy, they're doing even worse than I expected so far, and I thought they'd finish around 10th. By this time last year, they had already got Williams and Richardson and were building serious momentum. Right now, they have 2 elite guys and may be about to lose their 3rd best guy, and don't seem to be in a great place with that many elite recruits. It looks like they're gonna be lucky to get 2 of the top 10 in state when it's all said and done.

I never claimed to be projecting. I just said Wright won those 2 specific reps against Majors. Like I said 2x, not knocking Majors or saying anything about his future.
Well, for one I was responding to both you and the one whose username is Tanzanian for bleeding vagina. But also you said you didn't understand how Majors looked good there. He had good form and showed good feet and balance. If he punches Wright at first instead of giving 2 yards, then he's there. It's a small technique fix, but that's why it's hard to evaluate OL in these drills and why DL have such an advantage. If an OL's technique is off at all, he gets burned. Also, Majors looks very thick in the lower half (teed this up for a Katfid joke). He's pretty much exactly what you'd want a junior in HS to look like right now. Make some small changes in technique and add 2-3 years of strength training and he's going to be a stud.

We aren't signing anyone named Blayne and I don't see how Jordan would have a spot with Mookie already in the fold.
lol. Mookie is the slot. Jordan is RB2. They're pretty different players if you actually watch their film.
1 hour ago, Machinator said:This second video of Dorbah is incredible and why he's an elite 3-4 OLB prospect (and why the services are moronic for knocking him for not having 4-3 DE measurables). NFL teams search high and low for athletes with this combination of explosiveness, dip, and bend. Watch the quickness and then see how flat he gets to the OL, yet keeps speed and strength in his bend. There are only handful of guys in the country each year that have all these traits. I have no doubt Dorbah would murder the 3 cone drill, which is the drill that most correllates with successful pass rushers in the NFL.
Idk how a guy who has his production and athleticism is not a 4 star, other than recruiting services being stupid and slaves to ideal measurables for a position Dorbah won't even play.
1 hour ago, Fud said:I think he might be #1 on my list
He's certainly up there. Even 11th and 12th are too low. 40th is just embarrasingly laughable. Don't worry though, 247 will fix it...after he commits to Texas.
1 hour ago, Bodacious Bevo said:I mean, Wright collapsed the pocket in both of those reps. I don't get how Majors looks good if he's getting pushed into the QBs backside in less than 2 seconds. Interior pressure is often more about collapsing the pocket early and forcing the QB out of the pocket than it is about the DT getting sacks.
1 hour ago, satyanash said:They definitely are. At the same time, the consensus here seems to be that Wright sucks/isn't good and I didn't see a reason for that in those videos. Looks like he moves well enough.
It's cuz y'all aren't projecting. What makes evaluating a skill is you have to project where guys will be, not where they are now. Give Majors 3 years from now and he will add 20-25 pounds of good weight and fix his technique to punch instead of drop back. Major's failure in those drills was due to easily-fixable technique. Also defending a bull rush without pads is pretty silly anyways. In 3 years, Wright will likely be heavier and slower and his one move, a bull rush, will be neutralized by most linemen. Wright's fine, and if you're a defense that wants an immobile/immovable 340 LB NT to clog up the run, he'll be good for you, but he likely won't be much else, and that type of player isn't all that valuable.That doesn't fit our system or the Big 12 in general, so he's not a take.

Maryland
Tulsa
Maryland form last year, right? I don’t remember one from this year or Tulsa, actually. maybe my selective memory is working a little too well. lulz.
regardless, it happens a hell of a lot less now than it did under Charlie, which is attributable almost entirely to coaching.
Charlie basically admitted he didn’t practice specials teams.

There was a recruiting thread created for fellow young person and universally beloved poster zTejas. Why dont you instagram influencers and trend setters go blaze your own trail over there?
This. People saying we should use anyone but Kate are like those morons that roll in here the week before NSD and start quoting Rivals rankings asking why we didn’t recruit Marcel Brooks or that Washington kid at Nebraska.
We do not post pictures of Kate because she is inarguably the hottest woman on the internet. She is a higher power who blessed us in our darkest time and we now pay homage and make sacrifices in the form of fatwa’ing imbeciles who do not appreciate her (and @RomaVicta posts whatever he can to make her smile) and in return she brings us recruiting fortune.
if you dumb fucks can’t understand that then go to NSAA, or whatever the fuck it’s called, and post whatever gifs you want while replying one-handed to all the other dudes on there talking about how hot it is. Personally, I find that weird as fuck, but if you have a problem with Kate, then you belong there and not on the recruiting board.
also, I refuse to believe ztejas is a young. I’d bet he’s at least 30 and even if not, his inanity defies age so he’s still not a young like the rest of us.

trusting our players to just make the right play is a recipe for failure.
Yes and no. Right now, under Shaka I agree. With a better coach who spends time doing situational coaching in practice, I strongly disagree. Coleman and Ramey have the Basketball IQ to excel in a situation like that with proper coaching.
Its the same shit with Charlie. We looked to be in a state of disarray constantly under him, yet Herman was able to execute and with a lot of the same guys just two years later.
When was the last time we had a horrible special teams blunder under Herman? I’m not sure he’s ever had one, yet with Charlie shit like that happened three times a game and plenty of people blamed our players for being stupid. With the exception of guys like Roach and Kris Boyd, it’s not the players, it’s the coach.

Not the team. The coach. Shaka has this affect on all his players. Give a quality coach this roster and they would execute much, much better down the stretch.
