  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Another vote for 3 body problem.  

    Spoiler

    I just finished episode 6.  Holy shit on the ship scene.  I’ve got an 18 month old that wears converse shoes and seeing the toddlers leg in the rubble with the red converse fucking killed me.

    Wingo starting game one ahead of Golden is certainly a take. 

    Also, Bolden caught 54 passes for 746 yards and 5 TDs last year. He didn't come here to be Casey Cain. 

    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.  

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

    Texas is joining tOSU, Bama and UGA as having the nation’s best rosters. 

    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.

    I exchanged some messages with Cy-Fair defensive tackle Landon Rink today asking if he had any plans to visit Texas this spring. His response ...

    "I will not be going there as of right now because they are not one of my top schools currently."

    Rink said he'll let me know if anything changes so the door isn't completely shut, but this one is obviously trending away from UT.

    Texas wants more length and size.  Two things Rink lacks.  We are not a top school because we are not recruiting him very hard.

    Yup. I've gotten to the point that I don't care much about WR recruiting. WR is the new running back.

    It doesn’t make sense to pay top dollar to high school recruits when we can get NFL prospects in the portal every year that are plug and play.  Especially in Sark’s system where he requires a lot from the receivers.

    Seriously though, LSU is putting together a monster class. They think Kelly is the guy so they’re going all in. I think Moore will be a really hard pull. 

    This is a NiL recruitment.  The timing of Moore picking LSU out of the blue right as Simmons picked Texas wasn’t a coincidence.  Moore likely visits Texas and it’s probably going to come down to which school will give him more money.  Moore has a lot of close friends at Texas.  I imagine they will let this play out and make a push in the fall for a flip.  You normally do not want to be the first school a player commits to early on as they don’t last.

  12. Choice is a witch and he will get his money.  With that said, Sark is heavily involved with skill talent recruitments.  Most of those guys come to Texas to play for Sark and his offense.  It’s refreshing to see Texas land elite skill talent again.  Prior to Sark, it got to a point that we were losing skill talent to the likes of TCU and Baylor.

  13. Ethan is going to play in the pros, not sure if he's a first round talent yet.  He has the frame, the length, the motor, and the quickness to be high round draft pick.  Texas lists him at 257.  If he can get to 270, the dude is going to be projected high.  This was his first year starting and he made some big plays against some good teams.  Hell I remember him abusing the Bama OL multiple times.  What a great evaluation by the staff.  Dude was heading to Michigan before the Texas offer so that should tell you what Harbaugh thought about him.

  14. Bobby did mentioned that apparently Bo had told the recruits that he was staying at Texas.  J cannot they will be too happy to be lied to as well.  Robinson was 1 foot out the door his whole recruitment so I would be shocked if he didn’t end up at Florida or LSU.  I do think January stays in the class.  I’m sure he’s pissed but I also don’t think he’s going to follow a coach that lied to him.
