Texas 2021 Recruiting Class Review: The Penthouse, the Outhouse & the Big House
I think I remember them rolling out 230lb Jett Bush at edge in a desperate attempt to find someone that would play within their assignment. Luckily we made up for the issues at edge with some athletic linebackers in Demarvion Overshown and Luke Brockermeyer /s

Texas 2021 Recruiting Class Review: The Penthouse, the Outhouse & the Big House
Nice write up. A 30% draft rate is pretty great for a transition class and would traditionally be good for any class, though that may not be the case in the NIL era. Now that we can look back at the programโs ascension (โ21 -> โ23) with the full benefit of hindsight, the transition class was a pretty key part of the roster building success in that period alongside development of the inherited RB and defensive depth chart, the 2022 OL haul (kudos and thanks to those involved), and a really high hit rate on 5 stars (Sanders, Campbell, Banks, Manning, Hill, Baxter being the 5 stars in the 21-23 classes). Compare those elements to others that were either overrated or just bad. The portal only gave us 3-5 meaningful contributors those years depending on how you want to define that (Keilan Robinson, Watts, Ewers, Sanborn, AD Mitchell). The non-OL in the โ22 class mostly busted. And the offensive roster that Sark inherited only produced a couple non-OL that were any good for us: Whittington, Majors, and Christian Jones. This thing could have very easily never gotten off the ground if it werenโt for the transition class, the โ22 OLs, Bijan and Roschon, and the DTs. That also speaks to how good all the non-roster parts of the program were under Sark (culture, continuity, scheme, etc.) Small thing about Jamier Johnson - he apparently left the Indiana program this offseason. Thereโs no info about him being in the portal or joining another team. Just a news article that he left and now he isnโt listed on the roster

2025 SEC Baseball Thread
Etheridge didnโt say this in the blurb, but if we finished 19-11, I could understand that a 3-9 post-Spencer record would hold more weight for seeding than it does in the standings. Also I want to self-correct a post I made a couple weeks ago that Farmer was batting .300 in conference play. I misread the stat. I think the correct number was .255 then and the current number is .240. That was part of the discussion about whether Jonah would stay in the lineup when Belyeu returns. Iโve changed my mind on that - I think he does stay now. The part of that discussion that has (unfortunately) gotten more interesting is whether itโs strictly Farmer that would be replaced or if there are other guys like Borba that find themselves in that conversation.

Texas Offseason 2025 - Archmania Is Upon Us
If weโre going to be literal, high school and NFL donโt matter. At those levels, theyโre all boys amongst boys and men amongst men. That said, idgaf about the definition. The term is supposed to be a fun way to talk about physically advanced/dominant players. You donโt have to come legislate that away with an arbitrary definition. I donโt have a great Texas nomination that hasnโt already been mentioned (maybe Sweat is an honorable mention?), but a definite non-UT guy is Calvin Johnson.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
I saw that shirt at one of the baseball games I wonder if they carry the analogy to one of the men selling out Jesus for silver and the other eleven denying knowing him

Hard disagree. The cop is there to protect pedestrians on a busy street at peak hours, not a football player that decided to get mega blazed driving between strip clubs

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
They were referring to the Fasusi/Rogers/Haywood triumvirate (and apparently there was a guy named Dramodd Odoms that was a 5* OT and signed with SMU), but itโs always an interesting choice when the services chastise a staff with Sark/Floodโs history for their evaluations

Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!
Could Burns get in the mix for the last starting spot? He started all six appearances at ASU last year before his injury. He threw as many as 118 pitches and 7.0 innings. Genuine question as I donโt have the baseball knowledge to say itโs a good idea lol

NIL Recruiting News Megathread
My understanding of the reasoning for the return of bags is that they would avoid the new independent clearing house and fair market value requirements. The settlement basically sets up two pathways for payments to players: revenue sharing and NIL (which can come from the school or third parties). Revenue sharing is capped (~$20M) and can be doled out as a school sees fit. NIL is not capped, but all deals worth more than $600 dollars will have to go through an independent clearing house where they will be reviewed to ensure that they are fair market value for a valid business purpose. The clearing house will have the power to reject a deal that is pay-for-play. So, if Starting DT Xโs NIL has a fair market value of $Y, then bags theoretically offer a competitive advantage if they are going to be greater than $Y because theoretically the only other option would be to add more and more NIL obligations for Starting DT X, and he only has so many hours he can spend signing autographs and copy/pasting tweets. Personally, I think itโs too early to know how the settlement will impact things. The clearing house thing seems like it will either work very well or terribly - probably terribly. Texas should be well-equipped to navigate the new landscape, whatever it may be.

Are they comparing the player or the recruitment to Moore?

If Nagy realized it was fucked up, why did Stone have to enter the portal to get it corrected? That seems like something that could be straightened out privately

I also get the sense some of Schlossโs complaints were with the people themselves (e.g., putting newspapers up to avoid seeing the cheerleaders) That said, we need to fix the issue with empty seats behind home plate

Auburn @ Texas Series Thread
I have no idea what youโre talking about with the recruiting stuff. The only high schoolerโs stats Iโve looked at in the last five years is Arch, which I hope is understandable. Maybe youโre confusing me with another Bevo-inspired handle. As to the baseball convo, thereโs three parts: A) I think Farmer is actually good (.309 in SEC play with a hit in all but one game), B) Jonah has a small sample against some pretty poor pitching, and C) coaches generally opt for experience in the case of ties. That said, the things that have impressed me the most about Jonah so far are his eyes and discipline at the plate, even in his pinch hitting appearances when he was probably desperate to swing. Heโs already in the top half of the lineup in that regard which is pretty crazy. That might be enough to win him the spot as his numbers come back to Earth. He should absolutely be ahead of Duplantier and Winfield, fwiw.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
At some point the 2022 class deserves a retrospective. Itโs kind of weird - the OL haul played a major role in our return to prominence, but the rest of the class busted pretty hard and has left us young and inexperienced. The only non-OL/ST that contributed as juniors or remain on the roster for their senior years are Jaydon Blue, Jaylon Guilbeau, and Ethan Burke. Hitting on 3 of 19 non-OL/ST is pretty poor. A lot of coaches wouldnโt have been able to survive such a high bust rate in their first class. Just a weird class with a lot of interesting dynamics. Sarkโs first full class, last class before the full SEC and NIL effects, highly ranked but immediately followed by a class that could go down as an all-time great, etc. Something more relevant to current transfer discussions is high school WR recruiting under Sark. Itโs probably the second worst position haul in his tenure. I think itโs fair to say itโs disappointed compared to initial expectations given the reputation of Sarkโs offense and the accolades his WRs have won. 2021 (transition): Xavier Worthy, Jaden Alexis, Keithron Lee, Casey Cain 2022: Brenen Thompson, Savion Red 2023: Johntay Cook, Ryan Niblett, DeAndre Moore 2024: Ryan Wingo, Aaron Butler, Freddie Dubose, Parker Livingstone 2025: Kaliq Lockett, Jaime Ffrench, Michael Terry III, Daylan McCutcheon The โ21 class can be entirely excused imo. The only guy that was really his was an all-time great for us. โ22 was horrific. Only 1 of the 3 in โ23 is still playing the position for us. โ24 looks like it could be really good, with one guy looking primed for a huge year and Ryan Wingo looking good too. Early returns on the โ25 class seem better than the โ21 - โ23 classes, at least. There are some mitigating factors, of course. WR coaching issues the first two years, NIL allocation decisions across positions, the portal, etc. These just arenโt the results we were expecting when we hired Sark.
