    Do you know the numbers for Sweat and Murphy last year? They both made significant jumps, which makes me wonder how Collins and Caldwell this season compare to Sweat and Murphy last season.

    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

    I think Carter is who he is. He wasn’t going to be a 30 snaps a game guy. He was a rotational piece.

    @Hiphopopotamos what did his PFF grades look like? His production market share that Dunlap does for defenders was ranked 23rd on the defense and in the sub-replacement level category.

    Texas DL's grades for this season:  Trill is in that third tier after Murphy/Sweat and then Collins.

  3. 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:

    i am aware of those, but i was talking about the whole "PK was ok with stepping back to keep Jimmy Lake who he had worked with forever" stuff.

    Lake is an AHC with the Rams. he has basically no reason to ever return to CFB as long as the NFL is an option, the stories about him being fired will come out eventually but yeah - my understanding is that there is a lot of behind the curtain stuff that happened.

    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.

    Me: Joseph needs to go!

    *Terry Joseph to LSU rumor*

    Me: No not like that!

    I’d prefer him not land at LSU just because of his LA recruiting ties. It’s on the very short list of places he could land that make me think twice about losing him. But still kind of agree in spite of that.

    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?

    This is apparently where the rumor started. 

     

    I would much rather the-powers-that-be spend whatever NIL money there is on keeping AD versus going out and trying to buy another WR out of the portal.  Unfortunately it seems like AD is going to be a very high draft pick - so he gone.

    I wonder if Sark is going to rotate more at receiver next year or stick with the lack of rotation at the position? I think next year the WR is more talented from top to bottom and could warrant more rotations.

    I don't think lack of talent has anything to do with Sark's rotations.  I think he just wants his most talented guys out there as often as possible.

    Some roster notes from IT:

    -Brooks, Sanders, Mitchell, Crawford (special teams) all expected to declare

    -Ewers still expected to return

    -Gbenda will either return or follow Choate to Nevada

    -Jerrin Thompson leaning towards entering the portal 

    -Solid chance Watts returns with a move to safety

    -They will be aggressive in trying to get Collins to return but he had his eyes set on the NFL before the season.

    Well - fuck.  I know it was unreasonable given their draft prospects - but I was really holding out hope that one of Sanders/Mitchell would return next season.  Johntay Cook is going to feast next season I'd guess.

    I hope the kid the best academically, but whoever is advising him really needs to hammer home how close he is to essentially only being able to play college ball after going and graduating a JUCO to reset his academic GPA and hours counter..

    That's essentially what Chris Marshall did, no?

    VIP intel: New Transfer Portal prospect to watch for Texas

    Hank South (Horns 247)
     

    Ohio State wide receiver Bryson Rodgers is reportedly set to enter the Transfer Portal, Horns247 has confirmed. A native of Zephyrhills (Fla.) Wiregrass Ranch, Rodgers signed with the Buckeyes as a part of the class of 2023. The 6-foot-2, 185-pounder ranked as the No. 49 wide receiver and No. 357 overall prospect in the country, per the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

    Horns247 is told that Rodgers is a player the Longhorns staff could pursue once his name officially shows up in the Transfer Portal. UT offered Rodgers in May of 2022, just a couple of weeks after he pledged to the Buckeyes. We're told the interest would be mutual.

    His first year in Columbus Rodgers appeared in one game against Michigan State on Nov. 11. He didn't accrue any stats. 

    247Sports' Andrew Ivins considered Rodgers one of the more unique prospects in all of 2023. The following is Ivins' evaluation coming from the high school level:

    "Slight of frame, especially for a wide receiver prospect that isn’t exactly known for his long speed times, but plays with an exuberant amount of confidence, which allows him to create separation in traffic and then pickup chunks of yardage after the catch. Ability to accelerate in the snap of a finger is without a doubt a strength at this stage in his development while rubber band-like joints allow him to change directions with ease. Posted respectable numbers as a junior while catching passes from a Power Five signee in a shotgun-based spread attack (42 receptions for 645 yards and 17 touchdowns). Saw production dip a bit as a senior in one of the Sunshine State’s higher classifications, but that might have had more to do with the lack of talent around him. Must add some body armor over the next few years and befriend his strength coach while learning how to do the little things like block out on the perimeter, but has a chance to emerge as a bonafide playmaker on Saturdays given how he runs routes and competes. Likely to add value to a team’s quick passing game."

    Texas signed one of the best wide receiver classes in the country in 2024 thus far, adding five-star Ryan Wingo, Houston transfer Matthew Golden, and four-stars Aaron Butler, Parker Livingstone, and Freddie Dubose.

    Stay tuned to Horns247 for more.

     

     

    Interesting comment in the thread:

    Played 6 snaps this season. The 247 profile did say he’d need some major S&C work before being ready  

    I don’t mind using Ohio St as a minor league to get our guys ready.
