  1. What's everyone's infatuation with Akina coming back here...I just don't get it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duane_Akina Seriously though - there have been so many bad years in the secondary people are nostalgic for what it was like during the Akina years. The guy is 67 years old and in semi-retirement, while I think he'd be a nice add as an analyst - I don't think he's going to move the needle too much when it comes to performance. And he spent 13 years in Arizona before coming to Texas - so he might not be as nostalgic for Austin as Texas fans are for him.
  2. Walk-ons enter the transfer portal like everyone else. That’s why the total numbers for the portal are inflated - they include walk-ons.
  3. Yes, which is why the post I was responding to didn’t make any sense. Neither of those (Nansen and Singer) would be wish-casting. That’s why I clarified Singer was in the portal - thinking maybe the poster was unaware. I sang it as I read it.
  4. Nahlin posted that if Nansen is the choice at LB coach he probably has a pretty good evaluation of just how good (or not) Dorian Singer is. Might be he enters the conversation for Texas. For those that don't remember - Dorian Singer had a big year for Arizona in 2022 and was one of the top WRs to enter the portal after the season. USC won the recruitment and then Singer went on to have a very underwhelming season with the Trojans.
  5. Anyone got a link to that spreadsheet of the Texas roster by class?
  6. Just as additional info - Sark pulled Nansen out of Idaho and hired him as a Special Teams Coordinator/DL coach on his initial staff at Washington. Sark moved him to RBs after a couple of seasons and then brought him with to USC and gave him the Assistant Head Coach title. If he moves to Texas I would assume that he will get one of those AHC type titles to justify the money above just being a LB coach. Nansen's daughter is also at Texas already in the football office. Nansen and Sark are apparently close. SEC is a step up from the new Big 12.
  7. Doesn't look like anyone is reporting that yet - but I'm so fucking dumb I didn't make that possible connection. That would suck.
  8. CJ Daniels should be an interesting recruitment. We've been told that one of Freeze's biggest selling points to the 2024 class was that this year is a rebuild and that he expects young players opportunity to win jobs for 2024. He also doesn't have an established starter (worth a damn) at QB. If it just comes down to money - and Freeze wants him - then ok we move on. But... If he's looking at opportunity and situation - Texas has the AD Mitchell role wide open for him to step in to and he'll have a Heisman favorite QB (given time by an established and experienced OL) to throw him a ridiculous amount of TDs.
  9. Bobby 9.95'n as hard as he ever has. I'm saying Caldwell and Daniels.
  10. FWIW - I saw last night that Brandon Harris and JM Jones (Asst Dir of Player Personnel) were following Liberty WR and recent portal entrant CJ Daniels. Just this morning Taylor Searels (Dir of Recruiting Operations) started following him. Maybe a visit is in the works? https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/cj-daniels-1.html
  11. Here are the 2022 grades for Texas DL: And here are where they ranked nationally (2022): B Murphy: 29th T Sweat: 52nd A Collins: 250th
  12. Once Elmo started charging for API access to Twitter all of these sites went away.
  13. Texas DL's grades for this season: Trill is in that third tier after Murphy/Sweat and then Collins.
  14. Assuming he wasn't recruited into the portal by a school, and doesn't already have an NIL deal with Ole Miss lined up, this CJ Daniels kid from Liberty would be a hell of a Wide Receiver pickup out of the portal. Brandon Harris (and JM Jones, Texas' Asst Dir of Player Personnel) are following him on the twitters - though no idea when that happened since you can't look at follows in chronological order anymore. Given that Daniels was a 2-star out of Georgia in the class of 2020, it seems unlikely these follows are leftover from high school recruiting. FWIW - PFF has him graded as a top 10 receiver in the country. Had some really nice catches against Oregon in their bowl game including the one below:
  15. Worked with Moffitt at LSU. Probably coming to A&M to pass out puke buckets and write the 'lazy players' names in Moffitt's office windows.
  16. Twitter has been going wild on that dudes name all day.
  17. Who was the poster who wanted Sark to recruit WR's with bigger catch radii? Mission Accomplished.
  18. I'm curious how real that job with the Rams is. Lake was fired without cause and is being paid his buyout (less any money he is being paid as AHC with the Rams). Feels like one of those jobs coaches take when they want to collect their buyout but have to fulfill the clause in the contract that requires them to look for work.
  19. I don't know - seems exactly the place you'd want Joseph to end up. His Louisiana recruiting isn't going to be as big a deal at LSU if only because they are going to get their share of Louisiana prospects regardless. Also: Is this where we start the Jimmy Lake speculation/rumors?
