  1. That’s it. That’s the fucking comp! They list him at 275 in high school, but he ate himself into a Heze comp that freshman year playing DT. I’d take a Jason Peters
  2. 11th grade Heze Kent has Pro Bowl Eric Green by about 30 pounds of bad weight. I hope it works though. Shaping up to be a really good recruiting weekend
  3. I would be out of my depth arguing with anyone on this staff about a take. I created a Tight End that looked like him one season on NCAA 2005 or so. Worked like a charm.
  4. He’s an athlete. That’s for sure. I just can’t find a TE comp in my mental Rolodex. I pulled up a pic of Keith Jackson, and he looked like Jack Lalane compared to Heze. I love the idea of getting him on campus, but TE seems like a super stretch
  5. I wanna be on board with this recruitment, but unless they add another number after that 7, I just don’t see this kid ever playing a snap. That Agbo role possibly, but ain’t no way otherwise. Prove me wrong Heze, I want all the kids to win big.
  6. I hate that the numbers are probably gonna send this kid East on I-10. Don’t know much about him as a player, but really would’ve liked a big nasty with a closed cage facemask. Shit is nostalgic 🤷🏿‍♂️
  7. That kid looks genuinely happy. Like he just cracked the code to life. Calculator.
  8. PFF telling the idiot OP to STFU in the kindest terms possible.
  9. This is so refreshing. A coach close to the apex of the profession with a willingness to seek and implement new ideas around his program. I remember the Herman hire and early years where the program was an echo chamber. The guy put up a wall around the program, extending to former players and anyone with a voice other than his own. There are so many great minds and ideas around football and team development in general - gruntling to see Sark be agnostic to where/who they come from.
  10. Agree overwhelmingly with the Ant Hill take. He can do it all as it stands. I'm talking about those heavier packages when you'll need Ant Hill and another ILB in tandem that can diagnose the fit and stuff a lead block or clean up the tackle (Aaron Harris and Bobino vs Lendale White) or Ant Hill and Gbenda on several occasions last year. I did watch Brad Spence's highlights, and there was tape of him doing this thing well. To be clear, this is a Championship defense. Probably better than last year's. Not calling the baby ugly in the least.
  11. Tough to find a weakness at any spot. I would've loved a thumper type ILB to backfill the role Gbenda played last year. Lefau is the better football player, and will make splashier plays but Gbenda made some very solid plays in late down/short yardage situations. There was a 4th and 1 stop against A&M on their second or third drive that changed the complexion of that game pretty early. Never desirable to count on a freshman, but Bo Barnes may be able to provide some snaps in those situations akin to freshman Bobino on the 05' team. However it shakes, I'm picking at nits here and really searching for any potential holes.
  12. The one degree of separation turn we've taken here makes this a fine time to admit that I've actually known Johntay Cook since he was born. My brother ran track with his aunt at Tech and decided to marry her. This past year with Tay isn't a blip on the radar of shit we've gone through with them since 2003 or so. Hoping a change of scenery does him well. https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/crime/crime-reporters-notebook/family-of-dallas-woman-deanna-cook-murder-was-recorded-911-call-reflects-fight-for-justice/287-9ee149ca-4609-45dc-b01c-a530eadb26a7
  13. Damnit Johntay, look what you started.
  14. That's a wild take. While geography may not move the needle like a big ole bag of money, the school's location is definitely included in the calculus for most of these kids. It's also helpful to the program when kids enjoy the area enough to stay put during the summer months prior to Fall Camp. The continuity built during pass shell and summer S&C can be the difference in a championship season. The city of Austin is a feather in the cap of Texas recruiting.
  15. Sark is holding his nuts on these bitches. In my community, this is equivalent to swinging one’s dick. The more you know.
  16. They're pumping sunshine like all of us, but the consensus is that he's a worker. As it stands, PFF already graded him the best edge rusher in college football coming into the season. Should there be any normal trajectory of progression he's a top five pick in his draft class and probably the first non-QB or guy not named Archibald to come off the board. We need to enjoy the next couple years, he's a generational guy. No hyperbole.
  17. I hope the move helps his draft grade. More important to me as a fan, and I'm sure to the coaches is that every move made positionally or otherwise is to strengthen the team. If it's not about getting the best 11 on the field in any given situation, I don't think this staff is going for it. If both boxes get checked, it's a win/win.
  18. No, I think Vasek is the better pass rusher of the two. They both put up two sacks on the season - Burke in 13 games, Vasek in 4. Seems to be a little more twitchy and able to round the corner. Sorry to deviate so far from transfer cycle talk, but did want to explain why I actually like the guy. Seems like he's been hurt for years, but the reality is he's headed into his sophomore season on the field.
  19. I think he's a really good pass rusher. Guy stays dinged up, but when he's out there, he's really disruptive. I love Burke against the run, and actually think they're both NFL guys. Just hopeful that we get to see more meaningful snaps for Vasek. It'll be interesting to see if he's able to hold off Jackson, but I'd imagine Trey Moore moved to the second level to allow more time for those guys on the end.
  20. This is going to be so fun to watch. There is no scenario in which a team can get away with not doubling Colin Simmons. Same goes for Ant Hill or Trey Moore when they walk down. Hell, I would want a chip or some tight end help with Vasek. Now you're adding actual disruptors an arm length from the QB on the inside. It'll be interesting to see what the pressure rates are for opposing quarterbacks. There were times I watched the defense last year, and it was an absolute master class. I think this will be the second year in a row that the defense loses tackles to the draft, and gets better. The ball will have to get out so quickly that they could grab 25+ picks this year to go with 45+ sacks. Thanks for pulling up to my Kool-Aid stand
  21. What's really cool here is that the staff signed 3 high school DT's that they battled for - three guys they really wanted at that position, and with what they've done in the portal, they've pretty much declared that they won't rely on any of them for snaps inside this year (I'm guessing Terry will get some burn at the 5 tech). Being able to give those guys a true redshirt year is top tier roster management.
  22. I don't know precisely when fall camp begins, but roughly one month to prepare would feel daunting for me. I'm sure he'll manage, but those first couple days with conditioning tests, etc. are going to be brutal coming off of a rehab and baseball season that doesn't allow for participating in Becton's spring/summer work. I hope he shines if needed, but this is gonna be tough to do.
