    Good thing we play in the worst conference and won't see another DL or OL as big and talented as Arkie.

    Most of us thought we would dominate Arky. I am not ready to take any of our conference opponent for granted yet.

    Uhhh I would feel a lot more confident with Card out there instead of Charles Wright

    Agreed. I think we are going to get Arkansas level effort from every conference opponent this year.

    Or…if Card shuts it down to preserve the redshirt we’re fucked if an injury happens

    If an injury happens to Casey, we maybe fucked regardless of if Card is available or not. I don't think he is anywhere close to being ready to lead Texas this year in conference play.

    I'm gonna assume this means that Casey is the man for the rest of the year. Also, Sarkisian is planning for blowouts if Card is to "play plenty" this year. Let's hope the Coach knows what he is talking about.

    Perhaps Sark is not completely sold on Casey yet and he wants to placate the Card family so he doesn't transfer. Card is his prototypical QB, so he is going to keep trying to see if he can develop the way he would like him to.

    Not easy at all. Grad transfer from a smaller program is easier (Calvin Anderson and Parker Braun), only one I can think of right now worth a shit is Wanya Morris and hes a giant pussy (and a sooner, not sure whats worse). Also LOVE the avatar, might be sexier than @BurntOrange&Whites

    I agree that grad transfers with real game experience are better bets but they are rare. Finding good underclassmen in the portal can't be easy at all, which makes recruiting good OLs with the right tools who can be developed all the more important.

    The thing I like about Casey is his demeanor.  You could tell he was a lpissed during that Arky game because the whole team was underperforming.  During the Rice game he was very upbeat and was having a good time with his teammates.  I still like Card but I think he’s not emotionally ready to lead the team yet.  Casey is much more comfortable in his own skin and I think the team feeds off of that.

    If you re-calculated for attrition to account for what this coaching staff actually has to work with, I’d bet we’re behind all the teams you listed. And that doesn’t even account for bad scheme fits, personality clashes with coaches, etc. 

    I agree with you in that our best classes during Tom Herman era had a lot of players who were not good scheme fits. We didn't recruit well at OL, LB, and WR, among others. We had hoped that our lower ranked recruits would develop but they didn't. It's mind bottling to think Texas can't land a 5* WR to save its life given how many talented WRs this state produces year in and year out. We missed out on all the top OLs last year, which many of us thought would be the year to load up at that position. At any rate, I am sure all of us can appreciate that we are lacking top talents at some key positions and it's not always about the team rankings.

    If your only metric of recruiting better is class rankings, then you are doing it wrong. Both of those teams have had more success recruiting than us. 

    Am I? We outranked them between 2018 to 2020 by a wide margin and those are the recruits we have on the team now. I don't mind recruiting 3 stars if they are identified as priority targets from the onset but if we are consistently falling back on 3 stars after missing our first targets, then we will continue to have bread in key positions of need.
