    OL will be interesting. Lots of different ways they could go. I think the only guaranteed starters at this point would be Banks, Jones, and I suppose Campbell. 

    As much as I’d like to see some of the young, high-profile guys in the lineup, I just can’t see Hutson, Majors and Conner starting all this year and then being backups next year.  I would like to see more of a rotation at the guard positions at least to keep these guys engaged. 

  2. Layden Robinson coming back next year. Didn’t grade out very good on the field, but was highly ranked on the “experts” draft boards.  Anytime you can keep an older guy that would’ve probably been drafted at a position of weakness is good.  
    I’ve got a feeling Ainias will come back too.  Sounds like a big rebound year for Jimbo to get back on track with his 8-4s.

    As I'm an offseason optimist I will posit the theory that Brooks's hernia was a driving factor behind the strange RB rotation in the bowl game. He still got some run but they didn't want to put a starter's workload on him. 

    If I'm wrong you'll never convince me of it. 

    Did our crack staff of Longhorn reporters ever ask Sark why Brooks played 2nd fiddle after a month of them hyping up the Jonathan Brooks coming out party?

    Another thing that bothered the hell out of me was the insistence on him returning punts - when did he prove better than D'shawn Jamieson? He's never shown the daredevil spirit of the best returners, much less as a receiver. What about giving Red, Thompson or K-rob a shot? even Jwhitt seems more a return man. I don't recall once holding my breath thinking he'd break one. I could only rationalize that it was a personal stats chase or Sark promise to help get him here.

    Wondered about this too. I guess he had better “hands” than Jamison (funny, I know), but Jamison was a dynamic returner who should have been back there on KR as well. I guess his injuries kept him off ST and then never got back in there???

    Holy shit. It feels like Owen's just ousted aggy for still paying players under the table rather than legitimate NIL deals.

    Jimbo pretty much did that after last signing day and all summer in his little spat with Saban……and nobody questioned anything. Everyone kept using the word “NIL” eventhough Jimbo said none of the young guys got it…and he really didn’t know what NIL was to begin with.

    JT patiently waited his turn last season and despite mentioned drops, has stepped up and balled out when given the opportunity. 

    Someone correct me if my memory is off here but-  X waited until the last minute of portal window and threated to leave unless we upped his deal.  Has given sorry ass effort all season which is well documented.  And today, for the second time in last three months, has scrubbed all UT related references from his social media either to drum up suspense and/or because he's a little dramatic bitchass.

    It's not just about the dropped balls.  It's not just about him regressing this season.  It's about him being a shitty, one foot out the door teammate for well over a year now.  

    Oh, I agree 100% about taking JT’s attitude/effort over Worthy’s bitchassedness, but this (potentially fictitious) sideline ruckus was about JT supposedly getting into Worthy’s face about dropped balls.  

  7. Not sure JT should be the one chastising anyone for dropping balls. A case can be made he cost us the OSU game with his drop as we were driving down to tie (maybe win) and he had 1-2 drops against TCU that were painful.

    Roschon is the last guy in all of CFB I thought would not put the team first and play. He's not afraid of getting injured in the Senior Bowl though.

    No reason for him or Overshown to sit out. They are 3-4th rounders at best.
    I can see Bijan’s reasoning, but even then, none of the Bama studs sat out their game.

    That was Auston English. Never seen something like that uncalled before or since.

     

    Can’t believe everyone just sat there and watched that happen without any type of retaliation (specifically the OL).  They either didn’t like Colt or were a bunch of pussies.

    Miami going after Derek Williams and Hill setting up visits after a non-binding verbal commitment to UT is not tampering. That's recruiting. Schools can't officially communicate or entice a player enrolled at a different school. Big difference. 

    Tell that to Jimbo. He thought teams contacting aggies in the portal was tampering….200.gif

    Looch acts like it would be some limb he is going way out on for Hicks to be over Hill...when that's the case literally everywhere that does recruiting rankings

    • Hicks is over Hill (9 vs 19) in the 247 Composite.
    • Hicks is over Hill (7 vs 15) in the On3 Composite
    • Hicks is over Hill (16 vs 62) in On3's rankings
    • Hicks is over Hill (12 vs 22) in 247's rankings
    • Hicks is over Hill (15 vs 18) in ESPN's rankings
    • Hicks is over Hill (5 vs 15) in Rival's rankings
    • Hicks is over Hill in the (1 vs 2) in Ketch's Lone Star Recruiting Top 100 for Texas

     

    What if Hicks flipped to OU and Hill stayed with aggy?  Then Hill > Hicks in the Looch44.

    where are you seeing this? not on twitter, reddit, anywhere i am seeing. literally yesterday they talked about his 4 finalist schools (Colorado + USC/UGA/Miami)?

    Saw it on Facebook last night, so it has to be true.  However, I can’t find that post or maybe I was drunk, so I guess he’s still a free agent?  I guess the bridge was burned at FSU.

    Fun fact: as things currently stand, when you consider the last two 247 scores for their respective classes, UT is now significantly higher than the Ags:

    Texas

    2022 - 289.04

    2023 - 294.53

    Average - 291.79

    A&M

    2022 - 333.13

    2023 - 236.05

    Average - 284.59

    That’s without even taking into account the fact that they have already lost two five stars and several four stars to the portal from 2022. It’s incredible to see how little they are going to take advantage of the best class of all time. 

    What’s their 2022 total after the current defections?

    This is great.  They’ve gone from “best class ever” and dreams of annual title contention to a near tear down in a matter 3 months.  

    Yet I seems they managed to keep Walter “the walking NCAA violation” Nolan for another year.
