Cruz is a freshman who if he was an early enrollee,  has had one offseason. But don't let that slow your roll

He's been here since Jan 2024, and while he's a RS-FR, Robertson is straight ass cheeks. But sure, I get where you are coming from, but Stroh was a RS-SO and had no issues getting to the field over Neto, a RS-JR, and then supplanted by Hutson, who is also unwiped ass. If Robertson were truly the best we have, I don't know what to say. Yes, the OL is extremely difficult, but many dudes take over their RS-FR year, including Baker. But, and yes, there's always a but, I also get C is the hardest position not named QB to learn. But you have to start weighing your options. Is someone who is absolutely dog shit but knows the playbook better than a guy who has been there for a year and a half and only knows 75% of the playbook, but also has a brighter future? 

Those are the questions Flood should be asking himself, and Sark asking Flood. We have not seen anything to make us believe Flood made a good choice this season on the OL. Hutson started at C, got his cranium cratered, and moved to LG, where he's still an asshole that's like a marker continuously being wiped like Sisyphus and the boulder. He was getting his asshole pounded like Richard Ramirez in a long-term care facility with the elderly, by the aggy DL and needed constant help from Campbell, who rag dolled those freaks. Then you have starting Stroh over...literally anyone that's partially warm-blooded, who was then replaced by a shitty Hutson. Robertson takes over at C and he's...not great. Not even above average. He's middling to below middling. So I don't think it's a stretch to ask some uncomfortable questions about self-awareness when you're getting paid very, very handsomely to not fuck up half of the year, literally. It took 6 weeks before Stroh was pulled and their best option for the game was...a true frosh Brooks taking over a position he's never played. That's beyond negligence.

Justin Wells took shots at OTF this morning during IT's morning NSD livestream clowning them about how many redundant videos they make.

About a year or two ago Wells was on some national show talking recruiting. I can't remember who he was talking about but he mentioned how this kid is such a great kid. He's got a good head on his shoulders. Wells has a good relationship with him.  Blah blah blah. But then he said something I thought was strange.  I'm paraphrasing but he said that no matter where such and such ends up Justin felt like he made a friend for life.  Seems an odd thing to say about a 17 year old kid

All these recruiting guys are borderline weirdos first off.   I’m not stanning for wells but I would assume that these guys follow these kids for years documenting their recruiting journey and get to know the family and kid along the way. Not shocking he would become friends with some of these guys much like a coach recruiting them for years and missing out on the kid.

Yeah but also wells is a wierd fangirl who brings absolutely bare minimum to that site over there.

I don't even know with Gerry anymore. He's too much into pumping up [name prospect] that they're 4*++ or 5*+ or whatever the fuck they do over there. It's crazy how different their views are from other sites. They keep pounding the John Turntine is a 5* drum, yet they don't even have confirmation on his own weight. 

Same with them beating the drum that Cruz is the best C since [name literally anyone. Travis Frederick?] for Texas, but he can't beat out a below average Robertson. K. He's had at this point two off-seasons to get ready, and he's just an inch shorter at 6'3, yet weighs exactly the same at 312 LBS. How hard can it be to beat our Robertson, who wasn't even starting until games 8-9? Surely he knows the playbook by now? It's not like I'm trusting Flood, who thought it was a swell idea to start Stroh all those games, when it was obvious to anyone who isn't considered legally blind he fucking sucks. 

Anyway, I don't know what to think. I think Gerry locks into guys and just doesn't let up. He won't say the quiet part put loud, but he's hinted that Texas should have done more/gone harder after Ezavier Crowell, but he's happy with Cooper. 

I don't remember why you are on ignore, but fuck. There is no single group that people hate on more then Texas centers going back to the early 2000s. There is no understanding of what they do, what they are asked to do, what makes a good one or what people are looking for.

This fucking website would have had posters calling for Frederick to be benched because he played LG in his second year before flipping back to C as a junior.

I know centers have to know all of the line play, including all of the audibles, but otherwise, that's as far as I know. That's why it's so hard and so important to hit on a good one, never mind a great one. They're practically unicorns. For any faults that Majors had, he was a great center for communicating, but he was above average strong. Stronger than what we have currently. Robertson, and I don't know more than anyone else, is extremely weak for a guy his size. Like Hutson, he's embarrassingly weak. Go back to the aggy game and watch both he and Hutson and it will make you wince. That aggy that was shit talking that Simmons called out, pushed around Robertson until Campbell came over to finish him off (the gif is on here somewhere). 

I was probably on ignore for hyperactivity, which I have rolled back a lot.

I was talking with someone that worked with Babers at (I think) 1300 and he said Babers was blazed out of  his mind every day and that was partially why he wasn't aspiring to more than radio.  This was before marriage and children so I'm sure that's old gossip.  

 

They're all blazing every day at OTF
