  1. We probably need to hit up the portal for a starting top end LT this Winter anyway. If Goosby does what most of us expect him to do that guy is off to the first round of the NFL after this season. You going to trust Manning's blind side in his final season at Texas to Chatman? Brooks? Baker hasn't exactly wowed people so far on campus anyway but is more suited to RT. Not a lot there at LT to inspire confidence though Brooks was getting great reviews at one point from the staff iirc. 

    If this were a Banks 2.0 situation and either Turntine or Ojo were projectible day one starters then sure maybe you consider going way above market rate. That isn't how people view these two.

    Alright now THIS is the surly I’m used to. Just need Carl to come back on one of his burners and then we’ll really be cruising.

    almost nobody makes the S16 every couple years, and miller has made it once since 2017, and that’s in the weak ass pac 12 and big east. 

    I didn't mean actually making the sweet 16 every season. I mean having that level of expectations for the team. Going into the year thinking "okay this is a top 15 caliber roster". I'll take being excited about the potential of the roster every year over the bullshit we've mostly had where you are thinking even in December that at best you may win a game with a favorable draw before being bounced.

  4. Sean Miller wouldn't be a bad hire. You could realistically expect to make the Sweet 16 every couple of years. That would be a level of consistent success we haven't had since that first phase under Barnes. Is he going to realistically contend for SEC titles or final fours though? Doubt it. But will he consistently get your kids to produce to the level they are capable of? Sure. Considering we have enough NIL firepower to consistently give him (or whoever is our next coach) a top 15-20 caliber roster every season that should result in a solid if not jaw dropping basketball program. If that is the ceiling of our expectations we should all be gruntled if he is indeed the hire. 

    Personally I think Will Wade has more upside but also more risk. That is who I have wanted us to pursue because I think the chances of him catching fire and becoming one of the top 5-10 coaches in the sport is pretty damn high. Lloyd would be a similar hire in that he has showed some growing pains since taking over at Arizona but also shown signs he might quickly become one of the best in the sport. Going to be interesting to see whether CDC focuses on high ceiling or high floor.

    You literally said “gets encouraged”. That implies he’s being told to leave. Just own your stupid shit and move on. 

    He will be told to leave... by other teams and likely his family and friends after they see the kind of money I expect gets thrown his way if he stays productive. Especially if Baxter is on pace to come back healthy and is showing no setbacks in his rehab this Spring. Eh whatever I'm done arguing this stupid shit. It makes no sense whatsoever to suggest that Texas would process out a quality RB when we are shallow there but if it for some reason satisfies some weird need of yours to believe that was my intent then by my guest. I corrected that misconception about a minute after my post in the first place.

    Players who develop and get better every year and are constantly being praised by coaches in press conferences rarely get encouraged to leave the program. This was a stupid fucking take. 

    That was never my take. I never said anything about Texas processing Wisner and I honestly assumed it went without saying (and it should to anyone above a fucking room temp IQ) that I was referring to other teams throwing money at him. Honestly the idea of Texas processing Wisner is so incredibly idiotic that it simply never occurred to me as something my words could be interpreted as. 

    I get this is Surly and being judgmental cunts is part of the fun. I opened myself up to that with poor phrasing 🤷‍♂️. I do still think the most likely outcome at RB is Wisner leaves for a payday and better chance at starting elsewhere and we go get some speed back to provide more of a change of pace (unless Nisbett really impresses the coaches).

    I bet Wisner makes himself indispensable this year.

    I don’t think that at all. Wisner is very solid and will get carry’s next year and this year. He’s a worker. 

    You seem to be mistaking my point. Wisner is good enough to start for a number of decent power conference teams. At the same time I'd argue Gibson is already better than him and Baxter, if he comes back anywhere close to 100%, is going to start for us next year either way. Maybe you took my 'encouraged to portal' as in he would get processed or something like that. I meant it as he is going to get encouraged to go take the money and be a starting RB somewhere instead of be RB3 or worse for us getting only a few touches a game. If he he keeps playing like he is and can stay healthy the opportunities will be out there.

    Nobody gives a shit who others have on ignore. It’s a personal feature for a reason. 

    Anyone who doesn't want to end up also being ignored by like 90% of the 9.99er board gives a shit. You are right in that you can spam quote whoever you want but the result of that is going to be you joining those same ignore lists. Giving a poster who doesn't seem to have run into that moron before a quick heads up about that fact is hardly out of line. 

  9. The number at WR should be zero unless Golden also moves on. It is possible he enters the draft but I haven't seen the same kind of projected buzz around him as I have with Bond. So far anyway. If Golden leaves I think that opens the door to adding someone but otherwise you have to feel really fucking good about a 2025 WR room with Wingo, Golden, Cook and Moore. Especially when both Lockett and Ffrench are likely going to be able to contribute meaningfully as first year players. 

    TE is where I hope we go hunting for an elite player. Niblack is yet another useless pussy so bad at blocking he becomes a liability if he steps on the field. Didn't understand that take at all. Sark has a fetish for shitty weak TEs. I don't count him still being here in the future as a positive. Give me a big lumbering TE who can put someone on their ass and still somewhat reliably make a catch after posting up in space please. Would be huge for Arch in his first year to have that kind of security blanket. Maybe Washington and the others are developing nicely enough that we don't have to dip into the portal but it seems an obvious spot to pursue a top end player and buy those guys another season to develop. 

    RB seems like an obvious one for one situation where if Blue or anyone else leaves we replace them in the portal. I don't see how you can go into next year with just Gibson, Wisner, Simon and two guys coming off major injury. If Blue moves on I think we add a guy even if its not some top end dude. 

    I wouldn't hate seeing us pursue a Center. I get we like the internal options being groomed and developed behind Majors and ideally one of them would end up starting next year but it never hurts to have at least one experienced guy in that room. There tend to be a lot of pretty decent experienced centers in the portal every cycle looking to jump to bigger programs with better academics just so they can get that more impressive degree before being done with football. Grabbing one of those for depth would be sensible and not that costly. 

    On defense the big one is ofc IDL with probably needing another two starter rotation quality guys from the portal. 

    The rest of the defense honestly seems fine. LB should be in a great spot. Edge is going to be loaded even with Moore and Sorrell moving on. Honestly even if we lose an unexpected Edge to the portal I still think we are good there. We have guys coming in that can contribute in the rotation as freshman. CB and safety are likewise probably not 'needs' but if we see some true elite difference maker out there it never hurts to try and starfuck to improve the roster. Will be more about replacing any unwanted portal departures than anything else probably. 

    TLDR version:

    RB: 1 if Blue leaves

    TE: 1 if we can find someone elite who isn't a massive useless pussy at blocking too. If we are going to hunt for a 'big ticket item' this cycle I'd prefer it be at TE honestly. 

    OL: Maybe 1 experienced center just because that position being a mess can kill an entire team. Depth floor setting type.

    WR: 0 unless someone other than Bond and Bolden leave. If Golden or someone unexpected were to move on or portal out you would probably replace them one for one. 

    IDL: 2 starter quality types even if we lose no one unexpected. Probably a third after we see who all departs.

    CB/NB/S: Probably a 'need' of 0 but as always if there is some badass difference maker out there at one of those spots you probably kick the tires. 

    QB/Edge/LB: 0 unless something major and unexpected happens.

    He posted in this thread about that shit on Saturday 

    Look I get it. You probably felt it wasn't really political to just reference a comment someone else made that you felt was stupid. The inevitable result though is that person defending themselves, other morons getting involved because they can't fucking help themselves and it spiraling into a shit show that inevitably touches on political issues that 99% of us want nowhere near this board. That is why there is a zero tolerance "just shut the fuck up" policy on the recruiting board towards those topics. There has to be. 

    Lets all just move the fuck on.

    He’s live 

    Have some self respect. Don't tune into that bullshit. The kid decided to stall for attention after changing the time, twice, and it bit him with a leaked announcement. Fuck Moore, fuck Oregon and hopefully Sark will get pissed off enough by yet another blind side recruiting loss that he demotes that bitch Harris and gets a real GM type in place.

  12. Honestly don't give much of a fuck about losing out on Moore. Will be a great player but isn't going to a team we play and we still have a very good chance to land arguably the best WR haul in program history if we go hard for Lockett and Ffrench now. I'm more pissed about Brown/Charles etc. than I am Moore. We will be fine at WR.

    so we can have a surly troll version of this same database with whatever hilarious fields we want. I am prioritizing the OTF one since you know that's an actual subscription business. LOL

    The Surly one should just replace the player grade with an image of either a chicken friend steak, a piece of bread or Charlie Strong's face depending on their quality.

    According to who? See this is why rankings are stupid. The aggregate national rating is just going to be the On3 number and the OTF one is Site Rating. Simple. Then you get the state rank, I can change that to national, but I don't want to have 50 rankings on this thing, they are nearly meaningless datapoints since the rating is a rating that is comparable through years not just this class. 

    Personally I would remove state rank and make it positional rank. State rank isn't very helpful and national ranking outside the top ~50 doesn't really tell you much. "We just landed a commitment from XYZ who is the 235th ranked player!" isn't as helpful as "We just landed a commitment from XYZ who is the 12th ranked OT" for example. So long as you are including the composite grade like you currently are you just don't really need to know (and shouldn't really care) where sites have specifically slotted them compared to players at other positions.

    not to buzz kill. But one of our boys on the list got popped on the Comal today.  Never try to save your drunk friend.  Most interesting thing to me was that you can be white and vomiting in front of the cops. And one goes free.  Sucks for the kid, but apparently there are/ were two silents he told me about.  like 30 seconds before it all went bad on the comal.

    Sucks. I guess good for me that I am white, but New Braunfels is what is always has been.

    in the end you guys would have been happy as shit with what I heard right before it all when bad.  

    Is this meant to be intentional Texaggs satire?

    Gerry said yesterday that the most likely outcome is poaching a grad transfer by getting them into the portal but options will probably be slim if we're being realistic

    Someone should remind Gerry that the rules were changed. Grad transfers had to be in the portal by the closing of the Spring window just like everyone else starting this year. 

    https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/40022677/all-college-basketball-transfers-portal-1

    Unless there is some loophole I am unaware of our options are limited to those players already in the portal and the pickings are slim to say the least.
