  1. Yes, I get it. He's not perfect. What I meant was that it's refreshing to see a coach actually do his best to win a championship and run this program based on meritocracy. And, maybe this was their way of rewarding him in getting Arch on campus.... kidding obviously.
  2. Charlie went tried this tactic and we had about 15 players leave that season. I remember reading and celebrating the purge at the time. Aggy is in for a rude awakening. Luckily with NIL, it's easier to turn over a roster with talent. But they are bringing in bread. They are going to SUUUUUUCK and this will be a 4-5 year rebuild for them to get this program competitive. They will never see it though because they will fire Elko after 3 years and the next coach will repeat the process.
  3. I'm fucking happy Sark is our coach. If a player is going to demand high dollar, well you better play like it or it'll get spent on someone that is worth the money. Under Mack, I imagine NIL would be handed out like orange slices to seniors. The more you've bled for the program, the more NIL.
  4. Brooks has gotten burned repeatedly and busting coverages even in the spring game. Ohio State thought he was safety and it's making sense now. If we are getting the Arizona CB, that should be an upgrade. CB- Manny CB- Davis (potential transfer) S- Mukuba S- Williams Nickel- Barron/Gillbeau Rotational players- Holmes, McDonald, Taafe. Mukuba can play star and Barron can play CB. This should be a solid DB group with good cover skills if the coaches can fucking do their job and teach them proper technique. Rod Babers almost loses his shit when he talks about the poor technique that is being taught. He talks about how our DBs don't play inside/outside leverage properly and these are simple things that should be taught.
  5. Gerry and Bobby have stated before that Arch wants to start 2 years at Texas and even 3 years isn’t out of the question. I personally highly doubt he stays in college 5 years but they have mentioned plenty of times that his family is in no rush for him to get to the NFL and want him to enjoy college and develop.
  6. I mean, he came to Texas fully knowing Arch was ahead of him and most programs and even our fanbase overlooked him till until his badass senior year. In all his interviews, he exudes lots of confidence and wants to be at Texas and play for Sark. Him watching Quinn and Arch go in the 1st round is only going to help knowing he’s next in line. He had other P5 offers and chose Texas knowing he’ll be behind Arch. I’m not worried about him transferring if he sees a window for himself to start at Texas for 2 years. With everything said, I was extremely impressed with him today running with the 2nd team considering the dude should be in high school. Dude is a NFL talent and props to Sark for offering him and trusting his evaluation. As long as Sark is here, we’re going to have elite QBs.
  7. You’re seeing the difference between a guy that has nfl level footwork and mechanics that has been coached up by his hall of fame uncles versus a guy that relied on his elite arm talent and never really developed his footwork and pocket presence. Quinn’s experience has given him an edge this year which hold a lot of weight, but you’re not the only one wondering why our starting QB still looks uncomfortable in the pocket 3 years in.
  8. Colorado may end up being worse this year than last year. Deon was a terrible hire.
  9. Recap from video content this week. So I imagine we’re going to see our TE commit get processed like the previous LB. Gerry keeps mentioning Nick Townsend as freak athlete and #1 on the Texas TE board right now and then taking Armstrong as a big body inline TE. Also sounds like staff is pushing or the RB out of Louisiana, Simmons?, and he may shut it down this weekend. LSU just took their 2nd RB so I imagine he is trying to lock a spot up at Texas before we fill up. OL board realistically we would take consists of Fasusi, Rogers, Coleman twins, Jackson, and the John Mills kid. Not sure if Dakorian Moore gave a silent but since his visit, all the 9.95ers have predicted Texas. His mom went to high school in Austin and apparently he has lots of family on ATX. This one makes too much sense considering he also has a lot of friends on the Texas team.
  10. He was our only QB take in that class. Charlie may have been the worst coach in Texas history but Tom Herman was begging dudes like Max Merrill and Charles Wright to come to Texas at the end of his tenure. Im not sure I truly realized how shitty this roster was and Sark has done a fantastic job turning over this roster in just 3 years. Hell we are losing guys like Tapp, Guillete (rumored to be entering), Walton…. Talented P5 level players bc they are 3rd string on this team. AJ Milwee saying Bama’s 2nd team would whip the Texas starters when he arrived here makes a lot more sense looking back.
  11. You guys really over think this sometimes. Sark sends out Banks and Baxter on offense after sending out Quinn. Baxter is going to be the starter and he’s going to be damn good too. Dude played injured last year and it was pretty clear he needed a year to go muscle up a bit. Staff thinks he’s an elite talent, that should tell you all you need to know. Blue has big time fumble issues and doesn’t run well between the tackles. That’s been his issue his entire time here. I imagine he’s worked on those weaknesses and Sark knows how to utilize his strengths. I think you’re going to very much see Sark use these two like he used Reggie and Lendale when he was at USC. Not saying they will be that talent level but he’s going to pound it with Baxter and the big plays will come from Blue. Also, I’ll say it again. Sounds like Wingo is on the fast track to start this year. The 9.95ers and the recruits now have all mentioned him first when asked about the most impressive WR. He’s an absolute mismatch for DBs. Can’t wait to see him play in the spring game after hearing about all these reports.
  12. Just a moronic decision. He had a reputation amongst scouts that he partied a lot and this isn’t going help. Going to cost him a lot of money.
  13. They have hinted multiple times it is one of the DTs at Michigan. Bobby in one of the OTF videos was addressing the Michigan fans that their alumni/donors, much like the the Bama ones, were used to the Harbaugh discount. Now that he is gone, they will need to pony up more money to keep these guys and he said “it may be too late”. They have also multiple times reference that the DT followed Sark, Ewers, and company only to quickly unfollow them when it was pretty obvious what was happening. Gerry mentioned that if the specific DT went into the portal with a no communication choice, then this was a done deal. If not, get ready for a bidding war.
  14. I always forget this dude was in the class…
  15. Another vote for 3 body problem.
  16. Well when the dude is getting compared to Roy Williams by people that are viewing practices in person, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him start day 1. Baxter started day one as well, Sark isn’t shy of playing freshman. Golden had 400 yards receiving last year, I don’t think he’s got a starting spot locked down like Bond. I’m looking forward to seeing Bolden but yeah, I don’t think Sark is throwing a 5’8 165 lb dude out there starting at WR against the big physical DBs Michigan has.
  17. Just caught up on this thread. I think it’s a bit pre-mature with some of the transfer noise. If I had to pick the season starters at WR, it’s likely going to be Bond, Cook, Wingo, with Moore/Golden coming in with a heavy rotation. Bolden is like 5’8 and 165 pounds. I think we’ll see him in a Keilan role. I’m not all that worried about Moore transferring. Dude has it hella good with NiL here. His whole family moved here and lives in Austin and they were helped with setting up a food truck business. Based on all his interviews, the kid is beyond mature for his age and I don’t think he would bolt and leave the situation him and his family have here for more reps when he can wait another year and the playing time path will be there for him with Arch throwing him the ball. Hell, dude may play himself into starting role this year with the way his teammates rave about him and his work ethics. A dude that shows up 30 min before everyone else to practice doesn’t sound like a dude looking to transfer when you add in NiL. This DL is loaded. Lots of pussy talk about sec blah blah blah. Last time I watched us play an SEC team, I saw Ethan Burke abuse the SEC champs and Burke is only going to get better. Collins, Sorrell, Burke will forsure get drafted. Collins and Burke have a chance to be day 1 or 2 picks. Collins needs to be consistent on the field, he has all the athletic traits. Burke’s motor, measurables are what NFL scouts salivate about and dude has barely scratched the surface of his ability. He’s on the Charles O trajectory but further ahead. Sweat and Murphy being gone is definitely a downgrade but our edge position is stacked and our DT rotation is nothing sneeze at. Outside of UGA, Bama, I’m not sure I would trade our DTs for anyone else in the SEC and that includes aggy. Also sounds like Texas has a fat bag of cash ready for a DT portal candidate. And if we land one, this roster has no weaknesses. I would not trade our roster for any other school including Georgia.
  18. A couple of things I’ve picked up and pieced together listening to Gerry and Bobby. All of this is me speculating. Looks like Sark has known about Lacy from his stint at Bama and I believe knows his QB trainer quite well out in Bamaland. Lacy has previously mentioned that Sark started building that relationship with him early on while he was still in middle school. It seems to me that Lacy took a step back when Quinn decided to come back as it delayed his path to the field by another year. Coming off a playoff appearance and a who’s who list of recruits visiting, Sark probably didn’t like the idea that his QB commit was visiting other schools multiple times. Lacy is good but he’s not Arch or Quinn so that shit probably won’t fly too long. Couple of things Gerry hinted were that Saban is gone and DeBoer is bringing his own frosh QB from Washington so Lacy would need to sit at Bama just as long. What’s stopping Auburn or Kiffin from taking a transfer after he commits, he’s not guaranteed playing time there either and both coaches would take an experienced transfer QB in a second. I imagine he’s realizing the sales pitch from the other coaches doesn’t exactly clear his path any better with regards to playing time. I imagine Sark recruiting the Duncanville kid is probably a combination of putting pressure on Lacy to shut this shit down before summer visits or we’ll pass, to maintain a plan B, and/or perhaps a kid they think may be better in Russell. Regardless, Texas is in a position to cherry pick prospects right now.
  19. Texas has made 8 shots and has 11 turnovers. Holy shit.
  20. This team is hard to watch. Every time I’ve tuned in this year 9-10 times (most of the bigger games), we have sucked it up. Tennessee is making a lot of mistakes yet Texas finds a way to fuck it up worse. This team picked a terrible time to have a season scoring drought. Also, Tyrese Hunter has gotten progressively worse every year, I didn’t think that was possible.
  21. Had he come time Texas, the narrative would have been that Texas can’t develop 5 stars. Glad he is someone else’s bust.
  22. Based on the numerous videos Gerry does, seems like the WR priorities are Lockett, Moore, Johnson, and Ffrench. Everyone else seems to be plan B. We seem to be a in a good spot for Lockett and Johnson. Let’s see about the other two. I imagine those will be big time NIL recruitments till signing day like Ryan Wingo.
  23. Joining? We have a better roster than anyone outside UGA and they scared, listen to Kirby’s comments. What school right now has two 5 star #1 QBs? Texas has perhaps 4-5 NFL high right players on the OL right now not to mention a lot of skill talent. Defense may take a step back but the roster isn’t lacking for talent. Sark has always been an elite recruiter and with NIL to our advantage, we may be the most dangerous program in the future. Not being in the SEC and not playing the bag game hurt Texas more than anything else. Those two issues are resolved and we have a hungry coach that has learned from maybe the 2 best college coaches of all time. Our decade of suffering has come to an end my friends. Enjoy these next few years.
