Texas Offseason 2025 - Archmania Is Upon Us
BurntOrange&White replied to Vertigo's topic in Football
CJ Vogel Texas switched up the practice schedule a little bit for practice No. 6. Instead of getting out on the field Friday morning, the staff changed things up for a rare evening practice Thursday night to wrap up week two of the spring. With rain in the forecast for Friday morning, the move makes plenty of sense. But a few nuggets from the first two weeks of the spring. *** Let's Talk DBs – Finding the cornerback opposite of Malik Muhammad has been a priority and will remain one until the answer is clear as day. Right now, there are four names that have been mentioned as candidates for the position – Kobe Black, Warren Roberson, Santana Wilson and Kade Phillips. Heavily contested as you would expect. Kobe Black is in pole position at the moment. There have been positive changes to his body and endurance in the spring thus far. Though close on his heels is Santana Wilson who went through a rare true redshirt a year ago, not seeing the field at all. I have heard Wilson's name on the receiving end of a number of interceptions thus far. Warren Roberson and Kade Phillips have each had moments this spring as well. – At the nickel spot, there are a trio of guys getting run in Keynodo Hudson's room. Wardell Mack was the first guy we saw last week at nickel spot with Jelani McDonald back at safety, though the two have each been getting plenty of looks with the first defense at the position. Mack was listed at 212 on the updated roster, but I don't believe that to be entirely accurate. An interesting name here is Jordon Johnson-Rubell. Texas is getting the young safety some looks near the LOS as well. *** Injury Report Not much has changed and week two was significanty healthier than week one. – TE Jordan Washington remains in a sling after getting dinged last Thursday in practice, he is out for the spring as OTF has reported this week. – EDGE Colton Vasek is out of a sling, but remains a little bit away from seeing the field for spring ball. – DL Justus Terry who was seen in the tent during the media availability of practice one has been good to go. – RB CJ Baxter is getting closer and closer, but is not expected back in the spring. *** Battles on Offense – Really, the battle that I have been keeping my on the closest has been at right tackle with Andre Cojoe and Brandon Baker. Again, the job belongs to Baker currently, but Cojoe isn't going down quietly. Both tackles have seen looks with the first team during best on best periods with the defense so far. The tight end pecking order is razor thin at the moment. Spencer Shannon, walk-on Ridger Barker and early enrollee Emaree Winston is the rotation. I have been told Michael Terry III has exclusively worked at WR since the spring began. Again, Terry is only 215 pounds at the moment. *** Special Teams – I know there are plenty of questions regarding the kicking spot at Texas. There has been little return so far. Bert Auburn and Will Stone remain the options and there has been an ongoing competition between the two in the spring. We will see how this plays out towards the back end of spring, but that's where things sit now. – It was perhaps a bit of a rocky start for new P Jack Bouwmeester as he worked to get acclimated to his new surroundings. But I have learned week two has been much more steady for the 2x All-Conference punter from Utah. The key moving forward will be to find that consistency on a practice to practice basis. **** The next practice for the Longhorns is expected to be Tuesday, April 8th. As a result of practice moving from this morning to Thursday evening, the team will get Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday off. (There will still be film and treatment). -

Texas Baseball 2025 - The Schwining tradition starts here...
BurntOrange&White replied to petscii's topic in Baseball
Blake Munroe A top five matchup takes place at the Disch this weekend, as No. 3 Texas hosts No. 4 Georgia beginning today (weather permitting). The Longhorns came out of last weekend's series banged up, with Rylan Galvan, Max Belyeu and Adrian Rodriguez all being injured. Here's the latest on all three. Rylan Galvan - A gametime decision it sounds like, but out of the three, he will be the most likely to play. I'm told that Galvan actually DH'd at Tuesday's practice. Adrian Rodriguez - He hasn't been ruled out as of Friday morning. If he does play this weekend, he won't be at 100%, but this looks to be another game time decision. Max Belyeu - Out this weekend, and for the coming weeks, but sources close to the program are very optimistic that he will return before the end of the regular season. First pitch for the Longhorns is at 6:30 PM. Tonight's game will be televised on SEC Network+. -
Next 10 same as last 80

Gerry Hamilton Texas sits 41 OV's with big OOS addition's The Texas Longhorns sit at 41 official visits scheduled for June with big out of state additions. Sunshine State defensive lineman Kendall Guervil (Fort Myers, Fla./High) and offensive tackle Keenyi Pepe (Bradenton, Fla./IMG Academy via SoCal) are both now locked in for June 20-22 weekend. OTF continues to believe the June OV list will exceed 45, and could reach close to 50.

Good stuff here on draft history by Howe. Jeff Howe Texas is expected to produce three first-round picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, which kicks off in three weeks (Thursday, April 24). Based on 10 mock drafts published within the last 10 days by ESPN.com, NFL.com and CBS Sports, the trio of offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr., cornerback Jahdae Barron and wide receiver Matthew Golden will be among the first 32 players selected. The 1980 draft was the last time three Longhorns went in the first round when wide receiver Johnny “Lam” Jones went No. 2 overall to the New York Jets, the Los Angeles Rams made cornerback Johnnie Johnson the No. 17 overall pick and the Baltimore Colts took safety Derrick Hatchett with pick No. 24. The consensus among the pundits is that Texas will accomplish something the program hasn’t done in 45 years. Nevertheless, there’s a wide range of predictions on where and when they’ll go. Barron has the highest draft projection of any Longhorn, with ESPN’s Matt Miller mocking the Jim Thorpe Award winner No. 9 overall to the New Orleans Saints. Terry Joseph was hired away from Texas by head coach Kellen Moore to be the team’s defensive pass game coordinator, one of two former Longhorn defensive assistants who now coach for the Saints (Bo Davis was hired in February to be the team’s defensive line coach after one season at LSU) and could, in theory, advocate for Barron in the war room. Bucky Brooks of NFL.com and Pete Prisco of CBS Sports have Barron headed to the San Francisco 49ers (coached by lifetime Longhorn Kyle Shanahan) with the No. 11 pick. Eric Edholm of NFL.com and Josh Edwards of CBS Sports have the Arizona Cardinals taking Barron with the 16th pick. At the same time, Field Yates and Mike Tannenbaum of ESPN have the Minnesota Vikings selecting Barron 24th overall. That’s how things look for Banks, who Prisco predicts will go to the Chicago Bears, the owners of the 10th overall pick. The Lombardi Award and Outland Trophy winner is projected to be selected by the Miami Dolphins (No. 13 overall) in the mock drafts of Brooks and Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports, with the Yates and Charles Davis (NFL.com) believing the Cardinals will take Banks with the 16th pick. Houston is the most popular mock draft destination for Banks, a product of Humble Summer Creek. The Texans, who sent head coach DeMeco Ryans and general manager Nick Caserio to Texas Pro Day on March 25, have the 25th pick and have a huge hole to fill up front after trading Pro Bowl tackle Laremy Tunsil to Washington. Tannenbaum, Edholm and Edwards believe the team will tab Banks as a long-term option to protect their franchise quarterback, C.J. Stroud. Golden solidified himself as a first-round pick after tearing up the NFL Scouting Combine with a 4.29 40-yard dash. Edwards and NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein have Golden coming off the board to the Dallas Cowboys, who own the No. 12 pick. The franchise hasn’t used a first-round pick on a Longhorn since taking Scott Appleton with the No. 4 overall pick in 1964 (Appleton was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he spurned the team and signed with the Houston Oilers, who picked him sixth overall in the AFL draft). Connor Williams’ selection as the No. 50 overall pick in 2018 is the earliest Dallas has drafted a Longhorn, so acquiring Golden to pair with CeeDee Lamb would make history. He goes as late as No. 29 overall to Washington in Brooks’ mock draft, but six of the other eight mocks have Golden going between pick No. 16 (Cardinals) and pick No. 26 (Rams). Yates, Miller and Trapasso predict the Seattle Seahawks will use the No. 18 pick to take Golden, who could be a weapon from the jump for free agent acquisition Sam Darnold after trading DK Metcalf to the Steelers and releasing Tyler Lockett.

The only sport that it would probably work and result in a title would be men's basketball I think. -

I do agree with him though....what is the NCAA going to do if teams just starting doing this? Absolutely nothing.

This is an interesting video from one of YT's large creators that gives you an insight on why OTF post the videos and the amount they do because of the VODS. They're obviously not pulling in this kind of money but it's just interesting to see numbers generated.

Blake Munroe Moderators 3.6k Moderators Posted 51 minutes ago As Texas prepares for the Final Four against South Carolina, I spoke with a couple of sources regarding the team, the future and more. - Texas felt they matched up really well against TCU in the Elite 8 and confidence was high in coming away with a victory (obviously for good reason, as Texas won 58-47). - The team is well aware that it gets harder this go round and they’re going to have to shoot better against South Carolina, but it seems they’re anxious to settle the score. One source said there is a quiet confidence in the locker room. I’m also told that they feel they are a “different team” right now versus the one that played SC in the SEC Tournament Championship game. - There’s been a lot of questions regarding standout Rori Harmon’s future in Austin. Multiple sources have told OTF to “not be surprised” if she’s gone after this year. - There is A LOT of confidence in freshman Bryanna Preston regarding next season. The staff has a lot of faith in her abilities, especially in the event that Rori leaves. - One note to close on… It seems there is a common belief that Texas could be even better next season.
