He sure doesn’t seem like an ultimate super genius to me. More like a fucking moron.

You know he's not wrong. It's just that the fall date he'll be in college station is Nov 30th.

I’ll ask here.  I feel like there were moments when cook was vocal about under utilized last season.  With golden and bond in   How does this affect the young guys 

Im honestly wondering if we should ever take more than 1-2 receivers in any class unless we want depth for special teams. It seems like the easiest position to acquire quality starting talent. 

[jw4381 3042]

Can or will Bond enroll for spring?

if Jedd Fisch flirts with Washington is it possible? No, I don’t even want to say it. But maybe a certain WR starts to look around?

I can't remember him being vocal about being under utilized, especially playing as much as he did as a Tree Freshman. That being said he's been very vocal about being supportive of the incoming Golden and Bond

To add to what other posters have already said on this, Golden missed multiple games in both 2022 and 2023. It's likely injuries open up some time for others. And I'm not sure they roll with an obviously limited Golden, Cook, or Bond over what's behind them in the same way they have with Worthy the past couple years.

With Fisch likely to take the Washington job, and us taking Nansen/Akina, are there any worthwhile DT's we could try to lure from Arizona?

How many WRs do you want us to take?

He’s the best WR in the country. I want him.

Yeah Bobby said that Bond will be in Austin for spring practice.

does jjmcarthy declaring suggest Harbaugh is gonna bounce (you would think so, no?  esp considering rumors Harbaugh is interviewing plus the circumstances overall)

assuming Harbaugh leaves, 

how many more guys can we take in the portal?

does it make sense to wait to see what happens at Michigan before taking anyone else (other than Niblack)?

perhaps there will be LB/DL available from Michigan and/or the program whose coach leaves for Michigan?

In any event, we might be able to aim higher at DL (assuming new guys come into portal following coaching changes) once we announce the new hire (assuming the portal stays open as the coaching carousel turns).

I respect it, but personally I'd like to see what our current WR's can do, while also saving some juice for other needs. (DLine)

It suggests we're going to smoke their ass in the big house, which is all I really care about in regards to Michigan.

I’m being greedy, but Quinn is enticing for any WR in the portal. Let’s have the best WR core in the country. We’ve seen what that looks like with Sark

Harbough is bouncing he has achieved want he wanted at UM plus they lose a shit ton of players on this team.

Harbough has hired an agent, completed interviews and that is not the behavior of someone who is staying. Ps NCAA sanctions are coming for Scout Gate.

Harbaugh doesn't really have a choice. Michigan is going to get hammered by the NCAA and vacate their title. Harbaugh is going to get a show-clause attached to him. He's doing a Pete Carroll.

I hope Sark points out to Niblack that, despite injuries to Sanders, the TE position at Texas averaged 60 receptions each of the last two years.

[alphahydro 332]

yeah, I get it. 

questions -

1. how many more transfers can we take?
2. does it make sense to keep some powder dry (aside from Niblack) if we think more transfers are coming from UM and potentially other programs, depending on who UM taps to replace Harbaugh?

Just asking.  I don't know about roster spots left, who we might want, timelines, etc.

I see your fairly new to the board. Welcome. The mantra regarding transfers/portal is, "don't worry about the numbers," the coaches are comfortable showing anyone the door if an immediate upgrade is available.

The meltdown on SEC rant is glorious.  Like SEC fans acting like NIL is breaking college football.  I don't know about that.  Not when your school is doing the breaking.  Seems fine to me.

Worth the take on these stats alone 

 

It wasn't that great a throw. Aggie DB coverage was atrocious.

If Niblack commits to Texas, that officially makes Alabama a feeder school for UT.
