Hamm Lite on Zach Evans ::
SpoilerA lot of people have asked about Zach Evans. I don’t know if A&M will end up offering, but I was told that Fisher definitely reached out to ask people about him over the weekend. He was doing his due diligence about Evans as a person and teammate.
I’ve been told that Fisher received really good reports on both of those things. And A&M knows that it would be pretty much just a one-year deal with Evans almost assuredly declaring after the 2022 season. He is a proven back that could fill in the Isaiah Spiller role.
TCU is still trying to convince Evans to return to Fort Worth. I don’t think that happens but it’s not out of the question. He also took a recent official visit to Ole Miss. With an offer, I think A&M would become a major player there.

Caleb’s recent social media leads me to believe he is staying. I think that was Lebby’s actual target. My assumption is he’s a stop-gap for this class as OU needed another scholarship quarterback behind Caleb. ‘23 should see a better fit for Lebby’s offense and squeeze this kid out perhaps.
that's my guess as well - I just think you'd be better off taking a kid with that spot who is more of a head down workman kid but yeah, I think this is very much a stopgap and I would expect him to portal out in a year or two

@golfclap will definitely know more, but the impression I got was he had a solid regular season and completely melted down in the playoffs.
I think he's just ok as a football player and if that were all OU was getting it would be a marginal take for the Sooners to be a career depth QB and I don't know that he's a great fit for Lebby's offense. That said it's everything off the chalk that is a hard pass for me. He's not beloved by teammates and his parents are boisterous and annoying on social media and helicopter parents IRL. The mom is a trainer who thinks she knows everything about training elite athletes and the father is a finger-in-every-pie entrepreneur type dude. I expect that they will get along famously with the Williams clan. His football skills aren't worth that horseshit and if it were me I'd rather work a flip from Locke (from Leach) or Hoover (from TCU) -both would be better fits for Lebby's offense anyway.

How’s the conversation with Tech go? “Hey man, I know you went to Texas and they’re getting a bunch of top OL recruits but come play behind the 1000th ranked tackle right here”
I think it would probably go along the lines of “our OC has a fucking spare in Bailey Zappe at QB and Zappe has already broken the ncaa record for single season yardage and is within 4 TDs of breaking Joe Burrow’s TD record while playing in one less game. Texas threw the ball 340 times, Kittley’s offense threw it 700. Our entire offense (and team) will be about you breaking all of those records each season before you head to the NFL as the #1 pick.”
I’m not saying that it will work (it won’t) or that there isn’t more than a trillion compelling reasons for QE to choose the Horns but Tech does have a message.

Am I the only one who doesn’t really want a 360-pound 18 year old? I could do without Williams.
No one on surly (or in the world) is more anti-cube than I am - we want Williams with all the intensity of our surlyhate. He’s a fucking football player.

Crawford and Barron are the only ones anyone is going to give a shit about so what’s the deal
They have both been recruited throughout the entire year by several other staffs. They are the 2 best man cover CBs that we have. Crawford played ~30 snaps this season total despite being clearly better than his peers in practice, despite bringing an infusion of speed that is sorely lacking, and despite the starting trio struggling in coverage (man or zone) and tackling. Barron played more but it was still marginal - again, despite bringing a speed and athleticism that was sorely lacking. These guys are simply not a good match with Terry Joseph.

Need more speed at safety. Might need to convince a corner or 2 to play safety until the young kids get up to speed.
They are gonna need to convince a couple of the corners to stay before they talk to them about moving to FS.

LMAO, I know we said no articles about Ian Boyd but this post of him defending Brockermeyer and his unathletic ass.
Made all the more frustrating by watching Jaylan Ford come in all season and improve the defense for a few snaps only to be pulled over and over. How dare he play on the offense's side of the LOS. Watching Ford make 2 TFLs put Kansas in 3rd and very long and then be pulled only to have Kansas score on 3rd and long when Brockermeyer couldn't get to the edge when they ran the same exact play was peak Choate substitution. Injury forcing Brockermeyer out only exacerbated that frustration because Texas was far better across the board, but specifically in that C-Gap run support vs an opponent in KState that is dangerous off-tackle. If they had played Ford all year he'd have developed via experience and put himself in a position to make a nice leap into 2022 -- Hell, he'd have improved our D this year because he was better in limited snaps by a large margin.

Another Banks source off. IT still holding that he signs next week and Perroni has him Banks saying himself that he'll push it to February. Hopefully this one goes better for IT than last time.
I mean - we all know Hamm Lite's source and I assume IT's source is the Banks parents and/or a coach or trainer?

Hopefully the emotional maturity accompanied a physical maturity. The coaches who talked about him all mentioned that he was the best all-around athlete they faced last season.

Im sorry but I trust the eval of the coaches more than mike roach and Nick Harris lmao. Recruiting services aren't everything, Bama takes guys like this every cycle.
TrUsT tHe CoRcHEs vs. the 9.95ers is fine if you want to go with that... Generally speaking - you bring up the offer list vs. the rankings and specifically the offers that come from excellent evaluators (ie a S with a Utah offer) but the Bama bullshit at the end is not only useless but wrong. The bottom of their average WR class is populated by guys like Jojo Earle, John Metchie, Kobe Prentice, and Traeshon Holden. They are not spending a counter every year (or every other year, or every third year) on a sleeper/eval.
Savion Red is really good at football, he's highly productive against good competition, so I understand the offer from that side of things. There are legitimate questions about his athleticism given his measurables from 2019 (4.5 shuttle, 29 inch vert). He's got a RB body type - so perhaps the offer is to be a flex player and give the offense some options and that's fine but his offer list is Texas, SMU, Miss Valley State, and Kansas. There's a big gap between not chasing stars and worrying about spending a counter on a guy that's a physical/positional tweener with legitimate questions about long term athleticism. He doesn't profile as one of those 3* guys that Baylor, KSU, or OkState gravitate toward (ie. Ollie Gordon) that explodes as a JR/SR. I will say that I'd rather have Savion Red than DeAnthony Gatson.

Hamm Lite ::
SpoilerHe had an in-home with Josh Henson yesterday. As for next weekend, Banks told me he has no plans just yet. I think he and his family are going to sit down and, assuming Cristobal signs the deal with Miami, talk about all the options and then potentially take an unofficial visit to Austin or College Station next weekend.

This is a reactionary opinion. There isn't enough data on Sark yet to make that judgement
It's not an opinion, it is an absolute fact and there is more than enough data on Sarkisian.
Sarkisian went 5-7 at Texas. He had a historic 6 game losing streak, a streak that hasn't happened to any coach at Texas since 1956.
He lost to Kansas at home.
Those are all facts - no opinion whatsoever.
Sarkisian's career conference record is 34-33. By comparison Tom Herman is 34-17, Charlie Strong is 43-37, and Mack Brown is 157-87-1.
Sarkisian's single best season as a HC is a 9-3 year where took over a loaded roster recruited by a monster recruiting staff (Kiffin/Ogeron/Tee Martin/Clay Helton, etc) at USC. That USC team didn't require a scheme change (they used the same exact verbiage and scheme) or a talent upgrade, and yet he finished 4th in the Pac 12 South and 5th in the conference overall, that's his peak in 7 years as a HC. He's finished ranked only twice in his seven year career (at 20 and 25) and only coached 1 bowl game where he won by a FG over a Nebraska team coached by Barney Cotton. By comparison Herman has finished ranked 4 out of his 6 seasons and is 6-0 in bowl games with 2 top 10 finishes, Charlie finished ranked 3 out of 10 seasons and coached bowls in 8 of his 10 years, and Mack finished ranked in 19 of his 33 years including a National Title and 6 top 5 finishes and way too many bowl games to count.
There's not a single opinion here but there is more than enough data to call Sarkisian an abject failure this season and more than enough to determine that he is exactly who he has been and that who he has been is not good enough for Texas. How much more data do you need? Do you need him to "get his guys in" like he did at Washington? Let's take a look at that data - in year 4 and 5 at Washington when he "got his guys in" he was 5-4 in conference both seasons, and was blown out multiple times.
