  1. They need to fire every OC from this Huddle. How do you not double and triple team the kid?
  2. CS mom has wanted Texas since the spring. I won’t post details until he officially signs somewhere in December, but there is a reason I posted in March to expect a lot of CS to Texas talk a few days before the 9.99 crew started talking more positively about Texas’ chances in the spring.
  3. I’m careful of what I post, simply because you would be surprised who lurks on these forums. But DJ Campbell is your starting RG. Hutson started camp with the ones out of respect that he was a returning starter, but it’s pretty known/expected that Campbell will start. That’s what the coaches want and are planning around. LG is where the true battle is. LG Edge CB Those are the real camp battles and CB is starting to appear clearer even though the 3rd and 4th CBs are coverage studs.
  4. https://lionsports.net/sports/football/roster/grant--tisdale/9117 man EJ thought Tisdale was the future and Texas coaches were idiots to not take him. EJ was also bad at his job.
  5. Did he say this in an article or one of the YouTube interviews IT does?
  6. Flagg is going to Duke. His dad was telling everybody that Duke was the clear number one and his preference for his son at the Nike stop in Dallas.
  7. Bingo. it happens all the time. I wrote a long ass synopsis of what was going on but I deleted it and I’ll keep it simple. They just didn’t expect some of the actions from this kids based on his family, who trains him and the relationship they thought they had. Also doesn’t make sense for Tech to be in on it because no amount of information or disinformation they get really helps them long term. Texas and Tech won’t play each other after this year and won’t become recruiting rivals on a constant enough basis for extra bullshit. They also aren’t a threat to really flip a bunch of Texas kids.
  8. The decision to commit to Tech was made a long time ago. While they have continued to recruit him there are some people on the staff that are starting to believe that he has “played” them and that some of the decisions around visiting campus and official visits have been planned along with Tech coaches. Believing Tech coaches are trying to play up the decision even more to make it look better for Tech beating big bad Texas. Not saying that is why Gerry is reacting the way he is, but the thought is out there among some members of the staff.
  9. Marion could recruit but let’s just say this, he related to a certain type of recruit. Hudson didn’t/ doesn’t really fit into the profile of a recruit that falls in line with Marion.
  10. Head Coach at Duncanville but also step father to Anthony Black who just finished freshman year at Arkansas and is now projected to be a lottery pick.
  11. 1. Arkansas so full of shit and I’m glad Ron screwed them over just like us. Without them using Peavy as a middle man and making crazy offers, Ron is on campus at Texas today. 2. The fans need to be mad at Peavy. He put this together and got Ron to verbally agree to Arkansas. Ron to Arkansas been a done deal to the Arkansas coaching staff. They just were waiting on the NLI release. They actually encouraged him to visit GLeague to make it look like it wasn’t a straight Arkansas flip/tampering. Back fired on them. Guess Peavy doesn’t have the pull he thinks he does.
  12. Speaking of Brock’s, is Tommy expected to start at TCU?
  13. Yeah but two coaches in particular did a really good job on the communication end to solve it during the Christmas break. I’ll check back in and see if it’s popping up again. Last time I checked tho people actually thought Brooks and Holmes were out playing Watts but it’s hard to bench a 12 game returning starter. Brooks should play a lot of snaps no matter what.
  14. I mentioned this in January. His family was concerned during bowl prep and bowl game timeframe cause he was basically the starter to end the season then they started Jamison in bowl game which was somewhat of a surprise. Add on top of that they added CB from Wake and playing time/fair competition was concern but that was fixed and he stayed. If it’s about money that’s a new issue but I’m sure they can fix that. He will help us win games.
  15. There were 2 defensive coaches who legit wanted to play Malik over Quinn last year. He can really sling the ball and everybody believes in his leadership ability. It will never happen because of the investment it took to get Quinn here and Malik hasn’t proven he can stay healthy.
  16. I really want to believe the smoke cause it’s starting to get strong from part of his camp but it’s hard because at one point Texas was falling behind big time. But to give Texas credit they are pushing the right buttons and attacking this recruitment from a bunch of different angles and I’m not even referring to the NIL aspects. From what I know Texas won’t be outbid but they are doing some serious work with mom, trainers and friends/teammates. All hands on deck for Simmons.
  17. Expect a few more retweet from him as well. They say the interest is real but it’s “interesting” that it’s starting to ramp up before he hits campus this week. He was also in town today because Duncanville was honored by the state’s house and congress. There are photos of him throwing up the Hook’em in the chambers. Im “hoping” somebody was smart enough to make sure he knows how much he is wanted while in town today.
  18. There will be some pro Texas and Colin Simmons talk coming this week. I still don’t believe Texas is the leader but expect some positive spin coming out soon
  19. I think it’s 100% BS but Chote is on record saying if the Poly LB was from Texas he would have been ranked higher than Hill.
  20. I get it. I think it’s more about what the coaches deal with behind the scene with parents/trainers and expectations around playing time. Guys start to question if you have a plan for them or value them if it starts to feel like you’re trying your hardest to replace them every chance you get. Brooks head is in a good place and the right conversations have been had with his family. But most people really think he is a 3 and done future pro as long as he can run well in combine type setting.
  21. Had a conversation late this week with a Defensive GA and he believes the DLine is going to be much better than last year. Better pass rush with the same ability against the run. I chalk that up to coaches talk but he thinks Murp and Bledsoe are animals. If Tapp can stop the run they will unleash him. He likes the transfer from Wake but felt it was not needed. Believes Brooks will be the best corner on the team by year end and doesn’t want the other CB starting just for the sake of starting. Brooks and his family were very confused as to why Jamison started the bowl game after Brooks had basically took the spot towards end of last year. Poly LB has the goods. All football. All the time. Long term Hill will be drafted higher but Poly LB is going to be a stud. Blackwell is not mentioned much but he busted his ass to put on weight to compete. I’ll check back in closer to end of spring and we see how things look when the pads are on.
  22. As of now Cam has been told he is all tackle. Neto and Campbell are going to get as much run as they can at guard this spring so that limits moving Jones to guard and Cam to first team to see how it looks. The message to Cam has been consistent tho. You’re a NFL RT and as long as you show some patience that spot is yours in the future. Monster 😂 Spell check did not help me out on that one.
  23. Neto and Connor is going to be the true battle this spring. If Neto knows/learns the playbook well it will be tough to for Connor to hold on to that spot.
  24. Bledsoe working out with the inside guys is interesting. Last year Bo and PK disagreed about where they should play him. PK thinks he could be a mister EDGE while Bo sees him as a disrupter in the middle as he continues to grow and put on weight. He started out going back and forth in fall camp but eventually was “moved” inside as season went on because he “got along better” with Bo and the inside room. I use quotation marks because that’s what I was told but they didn’t go into much detail about the getting along better comment.
