He's going to rebound and go off second half of the season

I hope so. But honestly, I don't think it's very likely.  He hasn't shown he can adapt and learn from mistakes like how to properly protect the ball in the middle of the field. Right now Wisner and Gibson are the better running backs. 

I'd be careful where he gets the ball tomorrow. Get him in space and let him test the boundaries. Would not run him inside unless we're blowing them out in the 2nd half.

I'm going with the post CTJ had yesterday that a big part of the new staff's recruiting strategy was determining a kids desire to play football and if it wasn't there they would back off.  

This could be a pretty big test with Blue.  

I'm one that believes he won't end up at Texas whether it is the coaches backing off because they think he could be a problem or he just decides to go elsewhere.

I'm in the Blue won't be here camp.

I hope we take flyers on malcontents that fight with their coaches and teammates.

Awesome predictions. Reviewing the thread was entertaining. Quite a bit of hand-wringing.  

It was interesting hearing his interview with The Ticket where he said the reason he only ran a 4.38 at the combine but a 4.25 at Pro Day was a torn groin. He could be interesting as a Cowboy.

You understand it is bullshit to go back in the early days of a recruiting thread with a volatile recruit and call people out on it, right?

In any event, I led the charge in doubting Blue repeatedly through his time on campus at Texas. The guy quit on his HS team, they voted not to take him back, bitched about playing time as a true freshman behind Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson, tried to quit, later tried to portal, had massive fumbling issues, never fully made it as a starter and still somehow came through the other side as a draft pick.

Zach Evans also got drafted. Elite talent can cause a lot of other sins to be forgiven. Here's hoping he works his ass off and takes a different path than Evans and wins big contracts and prizes in the league. I'm cheering for him like I am every longhorn in the NFL because it certainly helps the program. I'm still in awe that the dude pulled it all off for himself.

Also, if there were another guy coming through with all of the same red flags as Blue, I'd still be playing the overwhelming odds that he wouldn't be a take or would bust out. See: Evans, Zach; Hampton, Aeryn; or Alexander, Bear.

Saw on the news yesterday that he got hurt at the Cowboys practice and was carted off back to the field house.

Bone bruise and nothing structural. Should be back soon, supposedly.

I wasn’t calling out anyone. I actually also thought has was going to fail. I just thought it was funny how it all worked out given all the concerns almost everyone had about him. Lighten up Francis.

I think my comment that "he'll be a mid-tier college player who will make some big plays and some head scratchers, test pretty well at the combines, and probably get drafted by some team like Dallas"  holds up pretty well.

He worked his way to a job in the NFL. Good for him. I will root for all Longhorns in the NFL.

I purchased a piece of history. Glad he did not Jontay himself, but he underwhelmed alot.
