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.
