In case you have not noticed, we are not exactly lighting the world on fire scouting and recruiting offensive players. I’m not sure we can afford to lose anyone on offense that we want anymore.
If we only sign two portal linemen to go with our current roster we are definitely signaling a shift in allocation of roster spots to the line. Meanwhile, at defensive line a position with an equally high bust rate we are clearly stocking the roster like never before. I think I know which position I’m predicting will have more sustained success in the future.
We currently have nine scholarship linemen including Robertson. Typically we are carrying 13-15 scholarship linemen. That means we need to retain Robertson plus land both guys we have an offer to plus sign two more players to get to 13. Maybe in the portal era you can argue it’s more like a pro system and you carry less players at the position but 11 seems like a very low number for a pipeline of player development.
So he talks to the media to create this false narrative that he got forced out then signs with Oklahoma. I hope he gets fucking hurt and never plays a down this year.
Why do I get a bad feeling when Flood and Harris get together to work on something without a Plan B? The two most incompetent people associated with Texas football should have triple levels of oversight on everything they do.
I could not trust my memory to say what Bobby’s prediction was so thank you. I know Bobby was questioning the offensive line and Ian Boyd was questioning our secondary. How prophetic. I certainly do not feel like the wool was pulled over my head by offseason sunshine pumping.
I cannot speak for everyone here on who to put on ignore but my rule is I only put obvious trolls on ignore. If you have a really shitty take I actually want to read it and debate it. You are upset because Bobby told you Texas was going to be meaningfully better than 10-3? I actually listened to most offseason podcasts from OTF and IT and I do not recall anyone predicting undefeated or anyone better than 10-2. So they missed it by one loss, effectively. What is your specific complaint about what was told to you about the offseason? I actually thought they did a reasonable job of discussing our relative strengths and weaknesses. It wasn’t just non stop sunshine pumping. As for the transfer portal how can you make any conclusions until the process is over?
Your take on Bobby is so fucking clueless it’s almost reads like parody. Bobby is a friend of the Texas program and if you ever met him and talked Texas football with him you would not have this opinion. And calling him the worst in a market that includes Ketchum and Nahlin is the hawtest takes of all time.
It’s pretty remarkable that Sark wants edges and interior defensive linemen more than he wants receivers. Not what you would expect from a former QB and offensive coordinator. It’s a good thing for us, I think.
There are other good running backs out there that are better than Wisner and Baxter. My confidence is dropping though that we know what we are doing. Our top two candidates at the position never even made it in the portal
