    Guessing that they are just leaving Cam Williams as the back up at RT?

    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.

  2. 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.

    I don't see the issue. We desperately need wide receivers and I think most understand that Neyor will probably need to be eased back into the line-up. There's going to be enough touches for at least 4 receivers next year. Sturdivant is also still a young guy with plenty of eligibility playing on a very bad team. Even coming off the bench next year at Texas would be an upgrade for him. He'll get is turn before he leaves here (if he does come here).

    Very few college receivers at blueblood programs get a thousand yards in a season. If they have the skillset, they still get drafted. Being great isn't all about statistics.

     

    I agree but it’s also not my money or me also having to work all those egos and expectations. Also would help to keep Red happy because of the True Buzz connections. True Buzz has been a friend of the program with Red, Watts, and helping stay in the race with Ant Hill. 
     

    I don’t know who we end up with in the WR room but J Mic would have been my guy from day one. Evan gets more attention and rightful so, but J Mic a dog and his word is more reliable.

    Uh, someone else can correct me, but I don't think the problem here was Aggie refusing to let Harris return. 

    The football program had no problem letting him return. Other aspects of the university are very glad to see him and Chris go. Very surprised he had the grades to even transfer.

    an attempt to be rational take on these, ignoring the overall program trajectory flying over niagara falls in a flaming yell leader onesie:

    - we're still battling to keep lucas, but losing him would suck. talented kid, good kid, hard worker, fucked up last fall but has a real future.

    - chris marshall was never going to make it at a&m, which sucks as he's insanely talented, but hard to blame this one on our staff. needs to get his shit together. 

    - denver harris isn't a bad guy, but not mature enough at this point. will probably go be a two time all-american at lsu, huge loss. 

    - pj williams is a loss, but another guy that just couldn't handle the transition. also we need tackles. 

    - i hated losing mgk. loved his hs film more than anyone else in the class. ultimately was here for nick williams who went to colorado. doesn't really like school. 

    - bouie was always a flight risk, but probably the lowest floor of the kids that have left. will be interesting to see what his career does.

    - ish harris was a mis-eval from the day he stepped on campus, would be shocked if he does anything. 

    the top 5 guys on that list are real hits from a talent perspective, but if jimbo has a chance in hell at righting this ship, it isn't happening with chris marshall and denver harris (at this point in time) on the roster. really curious what happens to this roster in the spring.

    100% agree on Denver Harris. Even tho the North Shore staff is not his biggest fan as of today, they still believe he was a decent kid who just wasn’t mature enough to be a leader instead for a follower. Most people close to him swear  him becoming close to Chris Marshall was the start of his decline. His parents were begging him to stop hanging out with Chris. Mom begged Aggie to let him stay once she knew for sure Chris was leaving the team.

    I'm good with this.  Let's roll with and develop guys like Tapp, Burke, Finkley.  Doesn't seem like any good EDGE players have entered the portal anyways.

    I personally believe Bledsoe will be the best pass rusher out of that class. We definitely need to hit on two from that class. I really like Finkley but I don’t think he will a huge sack guy coming off the edge.

    Most likely - but I definitely remember hearing that a some of it was related to Herman being a flailing prick and Coleman being an unegaging lump. I think a better set of coaches and recruiters would have gone a long way towards keeping him. Maybe we'd have lost him no matter what - but not getting him will always piss me off. He would've been exactly what the Horns needed this year

    The biggest issue down the stretch with that recruitment was how long Herman took to hire a WR coach. The family asked everyday who would be coaching their son and Herman had no answers as he swung and missed on multiple WR coaches. While we had no coach Malcolm Kelly was on him hard every day. Herman eventually hired Coleman who had been on the staff the whole time. If Herman had hired Coleman earlier I believe QJ is in austin. Made no sense to take as long as they did if you were going to hire the guy already on staff
