  1. Yeah, made an appearance in the spring game too
  2. 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
  3. 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 programโ€™s ascension (โ€˜21 -> โ€˜23) 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 โ€˜22 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 werenโ€™t for the transition class, the โ€˜22 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. Thereโ€™s no info about him being in the portal or joining another team. Just a news article that he left and now he isnโ€™t listed on the roster
  4. Etheridge didnโ€™t 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. Iโ€™ve changed my mind on that - I think he does stay now. The part of that discussion that has (unfortunately) gotten more interesting is whether itโ€™s strictly Farmer that would be replaced or if there are other guys like Borba that find themselves in that conversation.
  5. He reiterated that in his OB interview on Monday. They want to be patient and work pitch counts, but guys like Root arenโ€™t going to give you walks, so you need to swing more to give yourself chances for hits.
  6. If weโ€™re going to be literal, high school and NFL donโ€™t matter. At those levels, theyโ€™re 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 donโ€™t have to come legislate that away with an arbitrary definition. I donโ€™t have a great Texas nomination that hasnโ€™t already been mentioned (maybe Sweat is an honorable mention?), but a definite non-UT guy is Calvin Johnson.
  7. 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
  8. Is there a website with complete college baseball stats? Like the left vs. right splits and game by game stats mentioned above. Something like CollegeFootballData.com
  9. Affidavit says 2:11. Bunch of bars one block up close 11 minutes before that. Itโ€™s a Saturday night. The hell is the problem? Man, I feel like Iโ€™m not surly enough for surly anymore
  10. 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
  11. 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 itโ€™s always an interesting choice when the services chastise a staff with Sark/Floodโ€™s history for their evaluations
  12. 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 donโ€™t have the baseball knowledge to say itโ€™s a good idea lol
  13. 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 Xโ€™s 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 itโ€™s 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.
  14. Are they comparing the player or the recruitment to Moore?
  15. 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
  16. Here are his posts on OB from today. Donโ€™t see anything about TJ but he seems to thinks heโ€™s probably done for the year
  17. I also get the sense some of Schlossโ€™s 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
  18. I have no idea what youโ€™re talking about with the recruiting stuff. The only high schoolerโ€™s stats Iโ€™ve looked at in the last five years is Arch, which I hope is understandable. Maybe youโ€™re confusing me with another Bevo-inspired handle. As to the baseball convo, thereโ€™s 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. Heโ€™s 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.
  19. Not to be a party pooper, but itโ€™s probably the guy with 9 ABs thatโ€™s going back to the bench when Belyeu returns
  20. So weโ€™ve qualified for the post season before Easter?
  21. Nothing in the fifth, but itโ€™s ok. We just need Kimble and Borba to get us to the Farmer/Williams/Duplantier trio
  22. OTF was consistent in their reporting yesterday and this morning that we hadnโ€™t offered. Guess that changed
  23. If you make that statement you need to name the 2-4 NIL earners that youโ€™d cut to make it happen
  24. First of the 2022 OL to portal. Thatโ€™s pretty incredible
  25. At some point the 2022 class deserves a retrospective. Itโ€™s 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 wouldnโ€™t have been able to survive such a high bust rate in their first class. Just a weird class with a lot of interesting dynamics. Sarkโ€™s 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. Itโ€™s probably the second worst position haul in his tenure. I think itโ€™s fair to say itโ€™s disappointed compared to initial expectations given the reputation of Sarkโ€™s 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 โ€˜21 class can be entirely excused imo. The only guy that was really his was an all-time great for us. โ€˜22 was horrific. Only 1 of the 3 in โ€˜23 is still playing the position for us. โ€˜24 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 โ€˜25 class seem better than the โ€˜21 - โ€˜23 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 arenโ€™t the results we were expecting when we hired Sark.
