- modest improvement in ranking, although rating has gone down (I understand how that can happen, but it’s not typical)

- they refer to “riser” in the context of the next, bigger update … are they implying a bigger bump in that?

- in any event, it’s a positive assessment … and look at the bump right before he committed to us (the 24th?). Sure to make the collective aggy cranium implode 🙂

I noticed the composite average went up today and looked through the list of commits and Spencer Shannon's went up 52 points.  Was .8659 and now .8711

I work with an okie lite fan and he tells me at least once a week that Texas ruins every conference we have ever been in and he can't wait till we ruin the SEC. I don't even respond anymore lol. 

I hope he's right. Does anyone here give a single fuck about the SEC as a conference? Let's blow that fucker up if we're so all-powerful. We'd be doing CFB a big favor.

I can't wait until we start winning games in the SEC, and the aggy narrative about the SEC will change from being some supreme, untouchable conference to how we were so lucky that we joined when the SEC started becoming weak.  It will happen, guaranteed.

I mean Texas and OU were compelled to move by circumstances beyond both of their ultimate control. I find it weird to look at the current recruiting and competitive landscape and think otherwise. But I am not Richard Justice.

Beyond our control? Nothing is beyond our control! These puny, inconsequential cockroaches can do NOTHING to stop us. We are legion! We are all-powerful! We Are Texas! And what starts here destroys all other football programs AND the universe!!!

The Huddle: Recalibrating recruiting expectations

Hudson Standish
 

Throughout the lead up to Arch Manning’s eventual commitment to the University of Texas, the 2023 recruiting class for the Horns had two projected ceilings. The likely top 10 ceiling in the event that Manning selected Georgia, and the top 3 (if not higher) ceiling that would ensue if Manning chose UT.

In case you haven’t noticed, we’re in the Manning selecting Texas timeline and the early returns have been even more exciting than most optimistic Texas fans could have even imagined. The Horns grabbing commitments from five-star Louisiana safety Derek Williams and longtime Georgia lean Sydir Mitchell in the aftermath of Manning’s commitment only added coal to the post-Manning commitment Texas recruiting hype train.

With that added hype comes a necessary recalibration of Texas fan’s expectations for this upcoming recruiting class. Recruitments like Malik Muhammad, Anthony Hill, and Javien Toviano where the Longhorns were contenders have now shifted to where most analysts view Texas as the favorite. If an o/u was set before Manning’s commitment for those three it would likely be at 0.5 but now 1.5 or even 2 would likely be the correct price for that line.

In addition to the boost with prospects already on the board, Texas is now a serious contender for recruits that weren’t realistic targets a few weeks ago. Chief among those players is five-star tight end Duce Robinson. While I’m normally pretty conservative with my predictions and analysis, I wouldn’t discount Texas here just because they’re late to the party.

Our intel suggest that Texas will continue to be aggressive on the trail before the season starts and I wouldn’t be shocked to see another half dozen plus prospects join the class before the Horns kick off vs. ULM in September. Needless to say if the on field performance matches up with an elite recruiting offseason, the fireworks might not stop on the way to national signing day.

If somehow we took down the SEC that would really be something. But I am not even sure how we took down the Big 12 unless we made Missouri an insufferable bitch but from what I understand that is their general state.

We have so many depth issues we will probably be taking a big class as well.

Class counters don't matter anymore. We'll be taking a big class because that's just the smart thing for anyone to do.

Well we did beat Nebraska like a red headed stepchild and drove them out which likely started the implosion.

As his Manager, you should tell him to get back to his TPS reports or you’ll find an aggy to do it.

Big 12: Week 7

Sending Nebraska off with that game - they spent the entire off-season hyping that game, Texas was awful, Gilbert beat them by running the ball haha, etc. - and the Case scramble to send the ags off after Texas did absolutely nothing on offense all night…well, those two games will never not be hilarious to me.

That Nebraska game was glorious. The crowd was booing their own team by the 3rd quarter. And Roy Helu Jr. gift-wrapped us fumbles just like he did against Iowa State. Least sure-handed RB ever.

I can’t believe we beat Nebraska. That was one of the most unexpected wins I’ve ever seen. It’s up there with the 2013 ousux Game.

If Texas gets 2/3 of Toviano, Muhammed, and Hill before the 3rd announces, then they are getting all 3.

I’ll never forget this game. I knew a kid that was as big of a Nebraska fan as there was and a dipshit to boot, all over Twitter taking pictures of Texas fans flying to Lincoln for the game from Dallas.  Talking all this shit about how they were wasting their money and it’s gonna be a shit trip for em all.  Just to lose to Squints.
