  1. Schloss can go 0 - 1,000,000 as a head coach here, and it will be worth it for what happened today.
  2. Maybe Brooks is the guy Gerry mentioned yesterday as having given silents to two schools. Gerry was saying this when he was talking about Texas possibly having 4 silents, but didn't know for sure because one guy had likely given silents to two schools.
  3. Based on how Gerry and CJ are wording their percentages/trends takeaways, sounds like Moore, Mills, and Pettijohn are silents.
  4. I think Fasusi and Haywood are the only elite guys they are in on beyond what they have committed. They will get decent guys, some that we would want in our class. But I don't see them making a push for a top 5 class. Somewhere around #10 seems about right.
  5. I am really bothered by the number of posters in this thread that are double spacing after a concluding punctuation mark. It's one space people. This is the way of the world now.
  6. I agree. Going 8-4 is really, really special from the perspective of keeping the mediocrity trend going. Kinda like seeing Khris Davis hit .247 four years in a row. Special to see, but doesn't amount to anything meaningful.
  7. What's really phenomenal is the spin 9.95ers can put on something so meaningless to give readers a nice warm and fuzzy about a recruit they have no hope in getting but that warm and fuzzy keeps the readers clicking for more.
  8. Texas surrounded the 40 acres with stockpiles of ham to keep Ketchum off the scent of this visit
  9. The way Gerry and Bobby were talking this morning about Texas being tenacious in transfer portal recruiting and not taking a "no," this would make sense
  10. QB got a rating of a floor of 4 and high of 5. So, yes, he does have that potential.
  11. That's a fair take. The 1-5 rating I set is likely too hard for a K / P to get a 5. Regardless, I think Auburn is a good kicker and he will help us win games this year, but I don't think he is or will be great / elite.
  12. Now that the portal is closed, and it seems that the roster is pretty much set for 2024 save a potential grad transfer portal addition, here's how I am rating the position groups: Ratings: Liability/Unknown Some Holes / Struggle Often Average / Serviceable (UDFA talent) Good (Draftable Talent) Great/Elite (1-3 Round Draft Talent) Ratings are two numbers: (floor / potential) Offense QB: (4/5) - Quinn hopefully performs as a RD 1 QB; Arch Manning is ready RB: (4/5) - Deep and talented RB room; will CJ Baxter or Jaydon Blue be one of best RBs by year-end? WR: (4/5) - Plenty of talent and depth, just need to find the right mix TE: (3.5/4) - Helm and Niblack are solid TE weapons (although for different roles) OL: (4/5) - A lot of talent and depth. Williams is talented, but replacing a RT who got drafted won't be without some issues. How long will Conner start? Defense DE (4/5) - Lots of talent and depth. Getting pressure from the edge should not be an issue this season DT (3/4.5) - The Arizona transfers help set a solid floor; Collins is the real upside for this unit LB (3.5/4.5) - Hill is special, Gbenda has experience, and Lefau and Gullete have talent CB (3/4.5) - Muhammad is a stud, but a lot depends on the development of the true FR and what Cole from the portal can do at the P4 level NB (3.5/4.5) - Barron and Guilbeau are solid NB options S (3.5/4.5) - Please start Mukuba next to Williams. Freshman are talented, but unproven Special Teams K: (3/4) - Auburn is a known commodity P: (1/3) - A lot depends on Kern or a portal addition
  13. They are recycling that number pretty quickly
  14. I'm guessing at least one transfer is included in this bunch
  15. He needs to lower the dose on whatever he is taking
  16. Death, Taxes, and spring game QB overreactions.
  17. Michigan's spring game is this weekend. I'm guessing we won't hear anything about their DTs until next week.
  18. If someone starts their coach grading rubric off with "press conference", that person has absolutely no idea what they are talking about.
  19. I would think 4 with of one ready to play some meaningful snaps. And we should expect to take another 1-2 in the portal.
  20. In the near term, I am evaluating this hire by: - hold on to Brandon Brown. This is a test if he can keep a recruit that appears to have only committed because of Bo Davis. - development of Alfred Collins. This guy has been an enigma. If Baker can unlock his potential (I am thinking getting on an All SEC list type year), then this guy might be a really good hire.
  21. Performance of "Up and Coming Coaches" during Sark's tenure at Texas: Blake Gideon - Blessed as Muschamp's choice, has one more year to prove himself Brennan Marion - Good choice, bad results Tashard Choice - Great choice, great result Chris Jackson - "Who is this guy" grade for choice, good results so far AJ Milwee - What would he be without Sark? Performance of "Established Coaches" during Sark's tenure at Texas: Andre Coleman - Bad choice to retain, bad results Kyle Flood - Great choice; amazing results Jeff Banks - Great choice, great results Jeff Choate - Good choice, good results Pete Kwiatkowski - good choice, good results (finally) Terry Joseph - "Meh" choice, "meh" results Bo Davis - Great choice, great results (depth chart is underwhelming though)
  22. John Scott Jr makes the most sense right now
  23. I see it as Sark not leaving anything to chance or "development hope" for next year, especially at WR. Texas has one of the best QBs, O Lines, and RB depth of any team in the country next year. Don't ruin this opportunity with unknowns at wide receiver. Now fix DT.
  24. Somewhere Mark Stoops is flying on a plane waiting to land based on the results of a fanbase's online poll.
  25. I want it to be a Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd reference so this can be something about another thing Elko has mismanaged.
