    Doesn't seem to be a big shift. To be fair, Flood has always liked big dudes even on his awesome Bama lines - it might be more of a Sark problem.

    That said, we're probably going to finally be all over some transfer OL.


    Big humans hasn’t been that big of an issue. I wouldn’t consider Banks and Baker huge and Cojoe and Goosby are good and large. Turntine coming in this year is actually undersized. The problem is more of a numbers issue. We are recruiting non-starters like Stroh and Wright and aren’t recruiting enough guys who can start. Lee, Martinez, Utu, and Roseborough were all fine prospects and we may get one of those guys. Meanwhile, we have a huge hole in the middle of the line again with a class that will have 2-3 starters in it. Basically, we aren’t devoting enough resources into the offensive line.

    Recruiting: Path to another top 5 class is clear 

    Whether one is a class rankings follower or believer or not, it still matters from a 85-man roster talent standpoint and perception on the recruiting trail. 

    With 21 commitments, the Longhorns are knocking on the door of signing a fifth straight top 5 level class with as many as seven or eight spots left. 

    OnTexasFootball takes a look at the current path to a fifth straight.

    Waymo can’t possibly be worse or more dangerous than the worst 10% of human drivers.  Also, the sooner semi trucks are driverless the better.  Over the 40 years of my driving life semis have gone from a nuisance to an existential threat.

     

    Yeah, what could go wrong?

    FOOTAGE SHOWS RUSSIANS ENTERING POKROVSK ON FOGGY ROAD

    Russian war bloggers published a video on Tuesday showing what they said were Russian forces entering Pokrovsk along a road enveloped in fog, in what some Telegram users said looked like scenes from the 1979 action film "Mad Max", which unfolds in a post-apocalyptic landscape.
     
    The video showed Russian forces on motorcycles and in an odd assortment of cars and other vehicles. Many vehicles, missing doors and windows, were shown driving along a road strewn with debris as soldiers looked on. Some Russian soldiers sat on the roof of a battered vehicle. A drone was seen beside the road.
    Reuters was able to confirm the location of the video as Pokrovsk from the road layout, signs, utility tower, and trees seen in the video, which matched file and satellite imagery of the area. Reuters was not able to independently verify the date of the footage.
    In a Telegram post, Zelenskiy, who was visiting Ukrainian-held parts of southern Kherson region, described the situation in Pokrovsk as "difficult, particularly as weather conditions favour attacks. But we are continuing to destroy the occupiers."
     
    Zelenskiy also said that Moscow was increasing its assaults in the southeastern region of Zaporizhzhia.
    Top commander Syrskyi said Russian forces were exploiting foggy conditions to infiltrate positions in Zaporizhzhia.
    "The situation has significantly worsened in the Oleksandrivka and Huliaipole directions, where, using its numerical superiority in personnel and materiel, the enemy advanced in fierce fighting and captured three settlements," Syrskyi wrote on Telegram.
     
    Ukrainian troops, he wrote, were fighting "exhausting battles" for two villages northeast of Huliaipole.
    Ukraine's military said about 300 Russian soldiers were now inside Pokrovsk and that Moscow had intensified efforts to get more troops in over the past few days. It said Ukrainian forces were battling Russian groups in the city.
     
    Syrskyi told the New York Post that Russia was concentrating some 150,000 troops in a drive on Pokrovsk.

    This would be malpractice. We'd be counting on the guys not good enough to get on the field this year as starters next year. Like two out of Connor Stroh, Nate Kibble, and Jackson Christian would be starters. 


    yeah and if they got hurt I can’t imagine how bad their backups must be - I mean if you are sitting on the bench behind Connor Stroh either you are missing a leg or have some sort of mental deficiency

    Same here, but have had a pacemaker installed since then. 
    No more MRIs for me, just CATscans and ultrasounds.

    Mrs. Brat had an MRI Friday morning - she has titanium plates & screws to keep her wrist and ankle from falling apart. 
    No problems there with an MRI. 

    Titanium is not magnetic. It is not affected by magnetic resonance imaging.

    Mormon money is too much

     

    I don't know what kind of money we are talking about, but it seems weird that BYU could double our offer. I guess our push is corporate money, family and proximity, but damn. It makes me concerned about where we fit in money wise with higher rated recruits that are looking at Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, etc. 

  8. There's time, but I don't get what the staff is thinking. Our offensive line class has 2 legitimate players and we are looking at one guy who is committed to LSU who is a solid player but is a step down from Roseborough to be frank. We need him but we also need 1 additional difference maker for a solid 4 man class. It doesn't seem like we have nearly enough lines in the water. A bunch of transfers will help, but our coach doesn't like transfer offensive linemen and they are only a temporary fix to what has been and will continue to be a long-term problem.
