  1. At safety he has a feather in his cap. Recruited and developed a first rounder at Notre Dame.
  2. Look, I would be perfectly fine with firing one or both of the secondary coaches. But we also have to be real with ourselves, we basically started 4 safeties in the secondary last year. Watts will be a safety at the next level and that’s where Texas wanted to move him. Brooks was thought to be better at safety by most coaches who recruited him. Taffe is Taffe. we played Thompson and Crawford in big games and situations. Williams is a pure safety prospect
  3. Texas might have been in denial but it was always going to be pick which back up Star you wanted the most and lose the other. There is a Big 12 school who is recruiting a Denton Ryan kid really hard that also made sure the coaching staff knew they would welcome Austin with open arms and plenty of playing time. Ryan’s staff is pro Texas but they love their kids more. His family was very aware of the offer. It’s not a money issue, he just wants to play. Both Star players expected Barron to leave and for there to be an open competition for that spot. Barron comes back and that pushes back options for the kids. It’s business.
  4. He can recruit the hell out of Louisiana. He really should be a safety coach.
  5. I only speak on stuff I have direct knowledge about. I have no idea those two current recruitments. joseph can recruit. He just mixes better with certain personalities. That’s natural though. That’s why you have different types of recruiters on staff to help out.
  6. T Joseph doesn’t relate to certain types of personalities well.
  7. I’ll say this in regards to Brooks father and Coach Joseph. The issue that came up during Brooks freshman year was tied directly to how Joseph runs his room (rotations+playing time and how it’s communicated to the players) Some other coaches got involved because they related better to the family and solved the issues before the bowl game. In film breakdown towards the end of 2022 the coaches were grading out Brooks higher than other corners but the playing time wasn’t always reflecting that. When Jamison got back fully healthy, Jamison and his family expected him to return to the starting spot but Brooks family expected Brooks to continue to start because he had been playing well and grading out higher than Jamison. During Bowl practices the issue came to a head because Joseph was sending two different messages to each family and didn’t take the issue head on to be clear about the plan for bowl game rotations and who would start. Manny Muhammad’s family didn’t really vibe with Joseph either early during that recruitment. They felt like they talked to everybody except Joseph. Sark had to really get on him to get more involved because the family liked Texas and loved Jeff Banks but wasn’t sold on how much Joseph wanted Manny.
  8. Somebody who transferred in, may be transferring again. (Report) Expect a returning starter in the secondary to transfer.
  9. There was but that particular issue was put to bed before the Alamo Bowl vs Washington.
  10. I think Tapp would create problems for teams in the Big 12. He has a ton of potential, just had more guys in front of him at Texas. Hopes he finds a good home.
  11. With us taking two backs last year and looking really good for the 2026 running backs, I would actually prefer Texas to only take one back in this class. The two that have gotten the most attention are good backs, but nothing special.
  12. Nansen is going to single handily fix the DT depth issues if he can pull Toia and Norton to go with the DT he previously brought with him from Arizona.
  13. LSU surprised a lot of people and took a RB from Alabama last week. Plus the Cali RB is trending Ohio State cause he wants a massive NIL. perfect storm fir Texas to pivot to Simon
  14. The Walton news pisses me off. Coaches were up front with him about playing time in 24 but laid out a clear plan for his path to playing time. This was within the last 10 days. I’ll check in and see what changed on the family side.
  15. We were talking about edge being a crowded spot. Someone mentioned Walton as a possible transfer. My take on Walton/Akana was not for this cycle and really just reinforcing that the DLine coaches really like Walton and think he will be a player for Texas if he is patient. There is some similarities in the coaches eyes between the two players so I wonder if down the line a decision will need to be made between the two. I doubt either transfers this cycle.
