I didn't know they played football in Connecticut. 

And yet UConn still won more games than aggy and had the same record as OU

(Seriously, Jim Mora pulled off an incredible coaching job this year. No one saw that coming.)

Jim Mora will be our next disaster at head coach for The University of Texas, sir. Best start giving a shit to that wizard’s career. 

HS buddy of mine is on the staff there so it would be cool for him to be able to come back home to Texas. Everything else about that would probably suck though. 

 

Also don't put it past CDC to go out and hire the Bama OC again.

Saw this mentioned on a UT Twitter Community. One of the IT subscribers can feel free to fact check this for me.

RE: Micah Hudson and WR Coach Hire.

Micah Hudson said Texas being w/o a WR coach doesn’t matter because he never got that close to Brennan Marion. Said he’s built a relationship & has got closer with Sark & Brandon Harris. -Justin Wells

A question for the pros: A number of players mentioned on this page do not show offers from Texas. I know we have a few early commits, but are we a little slower in offering than Alabama and some of the other schools who show up on their lists?

Is Junior a kickoff point for us extending offers to a broader group of prospects?

Thanks!

quick look at 247 offers says Texas is at 109 and Bama is at 141

Biggest difference is Bama offering 14 players at QB

keep in mind this isn't perfect, players don't always report and sometimes players DO report that didn't have an offer.

2025 Adam Schobel, QB, Columbus (Texas)

On3 Consensus ranking: No. 11 (On3 Consensus 5-star)
