  1. He entered the portal some time ago, but if Texas is courting him they've kept it pretty quite. If I remember his recruitment correctly, we liked him but didn't want him to play his preferred position. I think we wanted him to play DB and he wanted to play WR. So if he's seen the light about his place on the field, then bringing him in would make sense. Maybe a year at UH has given him some much needed perspective about his place in the food chain.
  2. We still need a punter, don't we?
  3. I think it really boils down the whether you prefer this: Or this: Both are great and I assume we can all agree that both are better than Temple of Doom.
  4. Saw this posted on OTF but didn't see it here. I know this was already common knowledge, but it's still nice to see it again.
  5. So UTSA is our de facto Triple-A team, huh?
  6. RB's take more direct hits/gang tackles than any other position. Any team with only 2-3 scholarship RB's for any given season is gambling...and not with house money. Anyone who can stockpile elite RB's is wise to do it, and it seems Choice is doing it as well or better than anyone else at the moment. I think people are starting to see the benefit of having 3 "starter level" RBs who are GTG and get a solid share of playing time during the season. Spreading out the touches lets everyone put out good tape while causing less wear and tear, which the NFL appreciates in April. Not that this is a novel concept or that Texas invented it, but we are the best example of it in the current CFB landscape.
  7. And that we have a bead on someone we like just as much / better.
  8. Is "RecruitClique" a reputable outfit?
  9. Not for nothing, but the NFL pension also vests after 3 years. I don't think it's much - maybe $50k/year - and you don't start drawing on it until you're much older, but it is another benefit to playing in the league even if you don't make it past your first contract.
  10. The top-8 are fine, as far as this kind of thing goes. But then it gets weird. Quinshon Judkins is not a first round RB, in any way shape or form. Riley Leonard as a first round QB is bananas - do you know how many TD passes he threw last season? Three. That's it. I know he got injured but my point is less about the lack of production and more about...who the fuck is he? He has shockingly good wheels for a white QB from Duke and nothing else, yet he's in this guy's first round? And also, no Ewers. Who is going 1/1 after we win the NCG.
  11. "The measuring stick is the schools putting 10+ into the draft, EVERY year" A&M has had 10 players drafted exactly once in the program history - in 1976. And they needed 14 rounds to do it, with only 6 players drafted in the first 7 rounds. They will literally never hold themselves to the same standards they demand from other programs.
  12. God bless your optimism. I'm not quite that bullish but I don't think you're crazy.
  13. Man, now I gotta be an LA Rams fan. so happy for Jordan. Fuckin’ HOOK EM.
  14. He's almost certainly following Cignetti to Indiana.
  15. The current competition for this kid doesn't seem great in terms of "staffs putting guys in the NFL and regularly in the playoffs": Cal Florida Nebraska Texas Washington USC Maybe I'm underselling the value of UW and USC evaluations, but I'd rather see schools like Michigan and Georgia coming after this guy. To be clear, I know nothing about this. Your comment just piqued my curiosity so I looked up his 247 page.
  16. If you're using Chrome as your browser, you can right click any image click on "search image with google." That will tell you what the picture is. If you're using Internet Explorer, go to your search bar and look for "how to download Google Chrome" and follow the instructions.
