  1. Reading the tea leaves... so Hudson is a Dallas kid who commits to SMU over offers from Bama and Texas when Rashad Samples was the WR coach there. Decommits and moves across town with Dykes and Samples. Signs at TCU at the early period last year when Samples was still their WR coach. Samples leaves for the Rams in March. Hudson enters the portal in January of the next year. 
    I'm not exactly Barnaby fucking Jones over here, but I think we can guess where this is heading.
     

    So … he’s going to the Rams?

  2. I expect Texas to go big across the board in this class outside of QB. I'll be surprised if isn't a big class with a ton of star power, provided Texas isn't shitting the bed on the field during the season. 
    25 guys:
    QB (1) - I am interested to see how they frame up their targets at QB in this cycle. Seems like a mystery right now.
    TB (2) - Is Brooks good enough to have a big year and go pro? Maybe. I will be surprised if there isn't attrition in some way. Maybe Wisner switches positions? Regardless, they like to use a stable of backs, so I assume the approach to this cycle - take the biggest talent you can find and then find a guy that complements him and the roster.
    TE (2) - I guess I might adjust this if Duce Robinson somehow signs in Feb. Sanders could easily go pro after next year. Does Juan Davis decide to move on at some point? I have to assume Liebrock eventually runs out of eligibility. They seem to like having one in-line guy and several guys they can flex, so I'm guessing they're always going to want 5-6 on the roster.
    WR (3) - Worthy, Whittington, and Neyor will all for sure be gone. That leaves you with the 2 incoming FR, Red, Thompson, and, if we're to believe it, Cain and Alexis. I assume of the 2 transfers in this cycle at WR that they're targeting, they think is a multi-year guy. That gives you 7 WRs for 2024. I doubt they're all here then, so 3 incoming freshmen seems more likely than less than that. 
    OL (4) - Without anyone leaving, Texas has 16 OLs for 2023. They'll all be eligible to return for 2024. Let's assume 3 leave for whatever reason - PT, injury, you name it. Seems like keeping the number each year between 16-18 is the staff's desire. I would expect that they're going to go after really big names across the country at this spot. You can argue to any recruit that they'll get a development year and then be as ready as anyone to start once the upperclassmen leave after their freshman year.
    IDL (3) - They'll have Mitchell, Murphy, Bledsoe, Ross, Broughton and Bryant coming back for 2024 without any attrition. We all know there will be attrition here, so let's call it 2 guys. There is a sentiment that they need to land guys that Clemson, Georgia and Bama are targeting in this next cycle and anything below that will be troubling.
    DE/Edge/Whatever the fuck (2) - There will be like 11 guys coming back in 2024 for the jack and buck roles. Some of those guys will leave early for PT. Still, with that many guys, I assume Davis likes his options. More than 2 in this cycle would surprise me, but maybe when I think about this more in the spring I'll see it differently.
    LB (3) - I like what they're doing at LB, but they're going to need to keep building depth here. Athletic LBs also tend be really helpful on special teams even if they're young and behind on the depth chart. Coming back for the 2024 will be, apparently, Trevell Johnson, Derrick Brown, Hill, Burrell, and Lefau. I assume Ford goes pro then if he doesn't now. That's terrible depth so they'll also do something in the portal. Still, 3 guys in the 2024 class seems straightforward. 
    CB (2) - Texas has a lot of guys returning, on paper, for the 2024 season in the secondary. We're absolutely going to witness attrition in these spots.
    NB (1)
    S (2)

    Wow. Thanks for this detail!
  3. Harlingen survives the surge from SA Warren and then some. Cardinals win 39-21, and run their record to 12-0. Return to the third round for the first time since 2015.
     
    I’m really so fucking proud of those kids. All you ever hear about when you play football down there is how you’ll never be as good as San Antonio players and that you’re wasting your time even playing. And that’s fellow RGV people telling you that. They can all shut their mouths for tonight. Shout out to San Benito for doing the same last night too.

    nobody hates on people from the valley quite like other people from the valley. (From Brownsville-I can say it)

    Has anyone in the OU media actually called BV to account for changing his no-visits policy? Even if it’s now no “official visits,” he’s clearly moving the goalposts. Not a great look, and I know a Texas coach would get skewered for it in our media. 

    I don’t know what his answer would be, but I can guarantee he’d sound like a prick who puts himself in the Saban/Belichick category while he gives it.
