I like how Bobby and Gerry floated this Baker to guard idea totally unsupported by any pretext besides the fact he’s already here and has been the recipient of big NIL commitments already.

That’s cool but he’s not a tackle at the next level.

That's cool, but you have shown a million times you are the single worst OL talent evaluator on this website.

If you think a true sophomore OL can't get any better you really are as dumb as some of your posts make you appear.

He's been extremely clear about his expectations around his role, more so than just about any player I can remember as a recruit and first / second year player.

You make the move for his future, the Michigan guy is a better tackle than him right now and it’s about putting the best 5 we can put out there next year to win. Next year isn’t a development year.

I think anything other than vociferous celebration at the idea of landing Isaac Brown is overthinking it. But fuck this - JC was so fucking good and his name shouldn't be flippantly tossed around in a comparison

False, unless for some crazy reason Arch comes back for 2027 like grandpa predicted.

We got Arch next year and we won’t the year after, it makes sense to go all in with Arch, regardless of whether or not posters on a recruiting board are consistent about it or not.

Listen dude, you lose him if you force him to a position he doesn't want to play. He's fine for a true soph. He has a high ceiling.

Also who gives a fuck how good he is in the NFL or what position he plays? I don't care and neither should you.

Where is this Baker to Guard stuff coming from?

He's been extremely clear that he only wants to be a tackle. It's a huge reason he came to Texas. He's never taken a snap anywhere other than RT since he's been on campus as far as I know.

Stop wishcasting stupid moves. If Baker gets moved to OG he likely enters the portal.

Burton explicitly stated it. Today in fact.

I'd say the same thing to Bobby - is this sourced or conjecture? Sure seems like the second one.

Because again, Baker has been v clear on how he feels about it.

There isn’t shit baker can do about it if it happens after the portal closes that he gets his position switched. If they bring in the Michigan tackle and Goosby stays it’s either go to RG or sit the fucking bench.

IMO y'all are way too in the weeds regarding who plays where on the OL. As it stands right now, they aren't 100% sure that Goosby will return, and even if he does, it's likely that there are exactly two tackles on the entire roster that they trust. They need a number at OT, and if you end up with 3 guys that can play, fine. Worry about putting your best 5 on the field later.

Also, reading the tea leaves, Gerry doesn’t believe anyone can play tackle unless they have the wingspan of a mountain gorilla and Bobby is happy to report whatever Flood leaks to him. Seems like the whole idea is wishful thinking and I agree with you-Baker is looking to move to the left once Goosby departs, probably is willing to accept RT, but anything else is tantamount to pushing him into the portal.

Correct. Upgrade the roster. Now is not the time to slot where all the pieces go. That’s shit the fans worry about.

So the consensus is Texas will Moneyball at tight end and take a in line, blocker first TE, right?

That was what Bobby said yesterday but as you know things always change.

I for one would love to see Townsend . I think he’s gonna be a good one.

Is Goosby waiting on an NFL grade or is he waiting for the 2026 market to be fully established before making a decision?

Facts!!

Only thing is this staff showed to be incompetent on putting its best five on the field for 75% of the season last year.

Idk how I feel about Baker at guard and whats the deal on the Michigan tackle? Shows he’s not even a 3rd team all big 10

Just my opinion, but I would not judge Baker at guard by his brief appearance. He was a tackle in HS and practiced in camp at Tackle. The results might be much different, if he gets a full offseason at guard to actually put him in a position to succeed.

It’s never a good sign for the aggies once Brauninger starts in with the “I’ve talked to folks who live near recruit X and they say it would be very unlike him to decide on a favorite at this time” type takes.

I’m just saying that posters say this every year. They’re often right about what might be coming next year, but that doesn’t mean that they will be willing to ignore next year. This year, Arch was new but had already been in the system, yet people were still upset that we didn’t go all-in on the offensive line. Next year, Lacy will be in his second year and Dia Bell will have a year in the program. Our No. 1 recruiting class will be more mature and hitting its' prime, and people will be saying the exact same thing again.

My point, succinctly, is that at a top-notch program, every year is the year, especially in the portal era. If Indiana and Ole Miss haven’t demonstrated that yet—particularly considering what Ole Miss lost on defense last year—I’m not sure what else will.

I have light sensitive eyes. In the eye tests prior to lasik years ago, they dilated my pupils noting they were rather large. I was on the ragged edge of eligibility for the procedure. When I saw myself in the mirror, looked something like this, sans the fangs.

Bobby already clarified that he didn't just think this up out of thin air.

I think he’s gotten it, it’s probably late first/early 2nd and he’s deliberating on whether another year improves his draft position versus getting started on his pro career (and the march to that second contract). Almost any other case is more clearly binary on whether to stay or go.

Jeez, I would hope Sarkisian is thinking about where all the pieces go. The players have their own goals and aspirations, money is finite and it’s pretty clear that an average tackle doesn’t automatically become an above average guard. To @tokamak’s point, it’s prudent to have a back-up plan for a Goosby departure and I would think a commitment from him is evidence that Goosby is gone or Baker is.

No, he is deciding with his family if he wants to be a 1st round pick or a top 10 pick.

I was referring more to his throwing it out there without making a case for it.

I would have thought he or Gerry would at least try to give some lip service that it would be a good move for the team.

Nfl Team that drafts baker: so , we see you as a guard.

Baker: sorry. I'm a tackle. Guess I just won't play your football game no more.

With as much faith as I have lost in Flood, anything is possible, but best case is a free backup. It doesn’t seem like all of the portalers for Texas have been entered or perhaps even figured out that they are portalers at all.

Aggy thought they had a great chance of getting this guy.
