2021 Texas Offseason: Sark Attacks Austin

JA’QUINDEN JACKSON’S TRANSFER

I spoke with a few sources over the weekend regarding Ja’Quinden Jackson and his transfer to Utah.  The biggest reason Jackson transferred was a change in the offensive philosophy under Mike Yurcich.  Jackson committed to Texas under Tim Beck and the belief he would play quarterback, but I was told he lost that belief under Yurcich.  As Texas went in a different direction in recruiting quarterbacks, I was told Jackson was somewhat treated as an afterthought by the previous coaching staff.  Utah was a school he felt would utilize him at quarterback where he wanted a fair shot, but something else soured Jackson and his family on Texas. 

Jackson suffered a knee injury near the end of his senior season and arrived on campus still recovering from the injury. I was told that Jackson and his family weren’t happy with the way his rehab was handled and he could still be dealing with long term effects of the knee not healing properly. Following Kenyatta Watson’s transfer, there were allegations by his family of injury mismanagement, and we also heard that many players including Caden Sterns didn’t see eye-to-eye with the way their injuries were managed by the staff.

ESPN's too-early preseason AA list. Relevant picks are:

RB: Breece Hall (ISU)

RB: Bijan

WR: Marvin Mims (OU)

OG: Kenyon Green (aggy)

OG: O'Cyrus Torrence (ULaLa)

APB: Deuce Vaughn (KSU)

LB: Mike Rose (ISU)

HUMAN RESOURCES

*IT spoke to a source with knowledge of NFL jobs that are currently open, and the Philadelphia Eagles have either interviewed or are planning to interview Stan Drayton. We believe the interview has already taken place, (he was not on the Saturday offer call with Jamarion Miller) but we don’t know for sure. IT will continue to monitor. We’ve heard Drayton is unlikely to leave, and we have reason to believe it, but some things might not be adding up.

*Bryan Carrington has been offered a job at USC, and went out to Los Angeles to visit with the Trojans staff this weekend. Carrington is expected to have a sit down conversation with Steve Sarkisian early this week and likely make a decision on his future by the end of the week.

I feel like the Drayton to the NFL thing is a win win for us. 
 

If he stays, we have a solid coach who connects well with our RBs and has been a fair - decent recruiter. 
 

if he leaves, we’ve proven to Bijan that it wasn’t us letting him go, and we can go and add even another recruiter to the pool. 
 

win either way in my book

So does the medical staff handling rehab change in any way under SARK ???

Who do we think our sleepers are that might have a shot along with Bijan? Overshown? Collins?

I think AA might be too much but I really think Joshua Moore will explode next year.   Sark isn't going to start spreading the ball around just to do so.  He's going to exploit weaknesses until the defense stops it.  Moore is the best candidate for that.

I almost added Moore. I just think it's so hard to make it at WR.

2021 Recruiting Class: Meet the Longhorns early enrollees

January 24, 2021 

The Longhorns 2021 recruiting cycle will finish next week after the second signing day period. A portion of the 2021 class has already started arriving on campus in Austin. Nine of the 21 signees have started getting accustomed to the Forty Acres.

The current class is ranked No. 17 according to 247Sports composite rankings. While these players originally signed to play for Tom Herman, they will have a new head coach and staff to get accustomed to. It will be an interesting dynamic with Steve Sarkisian running the show for the burnt orange, but many are hopeful for the future of Texas’ football program.

 Here are the full nine early enrollees:  

  • JD Coffey, Safety: Kennedale  Height  6-0.5  Weight 180
  • Jamier Johnson, CB: John Muir (CA). Height 6-0   Weight 170
  • Derrick Harris Jr, DE: New Caney Height 6-2.5  Weight 215
  • Terrence Cooks, LB: Shadow Creek Height 6-2   Weight 210
  • Jaden Alexis, WR: Monarch (FL) Height. 5-11  Weight. 185
  • Hayden Conner, OT: Taylor (Katy) Height  6-5.5  Weight. 317
  • Gunnar Helm, TE: Cherry Creek (CO)  Height 6-5  Weight 225
  • Charles Wright, QB: Austin High  Height. 6-1  Weight. 194
  • Isaac Pearson, P: Pro Kick Australia. Height 6-2    Weight 215

 

The Longhorns social media department recently put together a video of the early enrollees arriving to campus.

Methodology stuff

Spoiler

What exactly goes into this?

My returning production formula looks at the most predictive key personnel stats -- the numbers that have the most impact on improvement or regression from season to season. What percentage of your QBs' combined passing yardage is returning? Your offensive line snaps? Your defensive tackles for loss? Returning production is weighted based on what correlates most strongly with year-to-year changes in SP+.

The weighting for the offensive returning production formula changes from year to year as I get more data to play with. The current iteration is as follows:

Returning QB passing yards: 29%
Returning RB rushing yards: 5%
Returning WR/TE receiving yards: 34%
Returning OL snaps: 33%

Those who have been following my work for a while might be surprised by that last number. For a long time, I tracked offensive line starts as the best possible way of measuring experience and continuity up front, but its year-to-year correlations weren't very strong and didn't factor much into the overall equation. But having snap count data at my disposal now has opened things up. As it turns out, continuity up front, as measured by your percentage of snaps returning, has a pretty hefty impact on your year-to-year progression or regression. That makes sense, of course -- your offensive line makes up nearly half of your offensive lineup.

Defense is a little bit trickier. The units aren't quite as well-defined -- teams play with three or four linemen, three or four linebackers, four or five defensive backs -- but this is approximately what goes into the defensive returning production figure:

Returning tackles: 56%
Returning tackles for loss: 6%
Returning sacks: 7%
Returning passes defensed: 31%

This ends up being a nice blend of raw tackling figures and disruption stats. Apparently disruption in the passing game is harder to replace -- continuity matters more there.

Perhaps because of this, continuity in the back of the defense has far more of an effect on your stats than continuity up front. Returning production in the secondary ends up accounting for about 59% of your overall statistical change, a monstrous amount compared to linebackers (minus-33%) and defensive linemen (minus-8%). Apparently change up front is much easier to account for, which might surprise some.

2021: the weirdest year ever for returning production
It probably goes without saying, but measuring returning production at the moment is awfully fraught, and not only because three FBS teams had no 2020 production to return. Some schools have announced which of their 2020 seniors will take advantage of the bonus year allotted to them because of the coronavirus season; for others, you can approximately glean the returnees from local media. But until we see fully updated rosters this spring or summer, it's hard to feel too confident about who will and won't be back.

I've tried my damnedest to account for all the returnees I could find, but it's a guarantee that I've missed some. Again, we'll update these numbers closer to the season, but I figured this was still a worthy exercise and a solid table-setter for the year to come.

As you would probably expect, the returning production figures are higher this year. Whereas the national returning production average is typically 62-63%, it is at 67% and climbing this season as I account for more and more returnees.

Does that mean that more teams are going to improve this year? Kind of: More teams are slated to return their starting quarterbacks, for instance, and more teams are topping 80% overall this year than in a normal season. But since each game is still zero-sum -- someone wins and someone loses -- that means the bar gets raised. If you return what would typically be an average level of production, you're potentially falling behind in 2021.

Is the transfer portal accounted for?
As well as possible, yes. When your team adds a transfer, I add the new player's production to both the team's numerator and denominator. There is an increasing amount of transfers to keep track of with each passing year, but I think I've caught most of them.

For all 2021 transfers, I am assuming that before the season begins, the NCAA will finally get around to granting immediate eligibility for all first-time or graduate transfers. Obviously this might not happen -- counting on the NCAA to do anything athlete-friendly is typically a fool's errand -- and I might have to make adjustments closer to the season. But for now all transfers count toward the 2021 production formula.

#95 vs #1 to lead off the season. Should be an appropriately spicy game vs the Cajuns.

Guess this is what happens when Herman's entire offense consisted of grinding Sam into a fine powder every game

Followed by On The Road #95 TEXAS vs #39 Arkansas

Based on these metrics, we will be the less experienced team in every game this year. (But I bet we'd crush Alabama at #110, right? :/)

Can't imagine wanting to be responsible for gameplanning against this roster the first couple of weeks though. Complete unknown with respect to roster and offensive identity.  The only real known is that you need to contain Bijan.

Yeah, really not liking how that one is setting up. On the bright side, we all know Herman was too stupid to actually play our best  players so this metric isn’t as much of a negative for us as it would be for a well-coached team. A lot of this also hinges on replacing our QB production, which I’m optimistic about since Sam had a down year in a dysfunctional offense last year.

Not to mention our prior's staff propensity to play the upperclassmen veterans who've earned it over talent, a la Mack Brown.  Looking at you Bijan, Collins, and Wiley.

In the past two seasons, our entire OL has pretty much remained the same throughout the season.  Which is pretty remarkable on a number of levels.

Those two and I'd say Jamison has a decent shot at returner and not decent shot at CB. Jake Smith isn't happening but I'll throw him in because I love him 

I'm with ya on Jake.  Don't expect him to be an AA next year but do think he has more untapped potential than Moore.  Jake is the best route runner on the team, perhaps even faster than Moore (his words), and can actually create separation.
