2019 Texas Longhorns fall practice thread
I'm going to wait until we find out the time table for their returns before I panic, but we really need these guys healthy.

A handful of wildcat carries/play #8s a game may be the answer. Unfortunately, I think he really needs a redshirt season.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2021
I have very fond memories of visiting colleges as a recruit. You have to remember, these are high schoolers getting an opportunity to be on a college campus, get treated like royalty, and hang out with college athletes and women. I am in no way shocked or worried that the Brockermeyers want to visit several prominent universities while they get the chance.

This season is Johnson and Duvernay's shot at impressing NFL scouts. I fully expect them to be locked in.

2019 Texas Longhorns fall practice thread
Josh Moore and Whittington should get plenty of opportunities in the slot as well, but we cannot telegraph our intentions with Duvernay by only putting him in for deep routes. For the corners, reading between the lines, it seems like Jamison has the athleticism and aggressiveness that the coaches are looking for. I would be surprised if his technique is as solid as Cook's given his stint at WR last year, but he is obviously polished enough to be considered for the starting role. Things will play themselves out over the coming weeks and I trust Orlando and Herman to make the right personnel decisions.

The offense has potential to beat people is so many ways. All the pieces just need to come together and the play calling will need to be more consistent than last year.

Non-Texas recruiting: 2020
Shows how much I've paid attention.

Non-Texas recruiting: 2020
Excellent choice for a 3* DL IMO. I don't know if their coaching staff has remained consistent, but they have developed some good lineman in recent years.

Hopefully, with our fantastic safeties, Orlando will put more responsibilities on their shoulders on obvious passing downs and just allow our talented young corners to focus on executing a more simple assignment. However, I am not a coach so I don't really know how practical that is.

Who is over Ingram's left shoulder? Dude looks no taller than Kevin Hart.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2020
I remember MB not getting tackled once for at least the first 5 minutes of his highlights. The players who were fast enough to catch him were not strong enough to bring him down but could only push him out of bounds at best. He lost that advantage at the college level.

2019 Texas Football Season - "#8 Go Fuck Yourself Bitch"
Good points. It makes sense that playing assignments would be based on strengths and mismatches.

2019 Texas Football Season - "#8 Go Fuck Yourself Bitch"
It will be interesting to see how things shake out with Green, Cook, and Jamison. All three will be difficult to keep off the field. From what I've read, it seems like Cook and Green are the more polished technicians while Jamison is an all-around great football player who best fits at corner.

2021 ATH Billy Bowman
Based on this analysis I'm going to assume he's our RB back-up plan. Hook'em Billy!

He's right about what other teams are trying to use against us. Thing is that it isn't proving too effective.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2020
Some schools pay up front for elite recruits. That is known, but probably not as frequent as we imagine. I think that, if anything, some alumni pay for on field performance, which can still play a factor in the recruiting process.
-
Texas Recruiting Notes 2020
I am not saying that payments do not occur, but all the complaining about another school paying more money for a recruit that doesn't select Texas is getting pretty old. If we wind up landing Bijan and LVB, many other schools' fans will make the same claims about Texas. Maybe my sarcasm- meter needs calibrating.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2020
I don't totally disagree, but I'd rather have a Daniel Young at 3rd string running back than asking a non-Jordan Whittington WR to move to running back in case of injury.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2020
I'm pretty sure landing the top prospects has always been the goal for every team ever. It's just that you have to have secondary options who will at least contribute positively with the potential to excel if everything goes right. Those are "depth guys" who will hopefully be recruited over the next cycle. It's when you start missing on top targets at a specific position for several consecutive cycles that you develop a chronic weakness.

2019 Texas Defense
I expect our defense to be the most athletic in the conference. Whether we are the best is TBD. We have question marks that need to be answered at corner, linebacker, and to some extent DT. The potential is there, but maybe still a year out.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2020
This may have already been discussed, but is Derrian Brown projected to count more as a 2020 recruit? I have no clue when it comes to the medical staff, but could this explain why the staff is willing to be patient in focusing on the 5 star recruits before shifting their focus elsewhere?

2020 OT Andrej Karic
- Texas Recruiting Notes 2020
I can easily see Karic being a healthy 280 by the time he hits campus and an even healthier 300 after a redshirt season. Assuming he signs, he's probably on the 2022 plan.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2020
More often than not talent leads to production, but it is common enough for high performing college players to be deficient in the athleticism or build that the NFL is looking for that recruit rankings should not be an attempt to project the draft. If anything, NFL fans are not the consumer base for recruiting sites. The fact that these guys would rather argue with their paying customers instead of adjust their approach is moronic. - Texas Recruiting Notes 2020
