Eastern Michigan brought real cinder blocks for some goofy pre-game ritual ... doesn't seem to have helped them on the field. Lulz.

I still don’t get how people don’t see the Evans deal as a big troll/joke yet?  A kid that’s that high rated is going to say his dream school was UT but never takes a visit to Texas even and people are like lol aggy when a quote comes out.  Some of y'all were gullible as shit thinking that was real.  His choice doesn’t change the fact that we beat them by two scores atleast next year.

If by “spy” you mean send Hill on myriad blitz looks to mudhole him all night, I agree. 
 

Attack that 275-pound center with our DTs and send a DE or LB through that gap, collapse the pocket, and pressure Penix until UW shows they can beat it. Then send it off the edge and mix and match when they adjust.

You think sark is only beating A&M next year by two scores? Lol

I’m sure Radical Larry understood the concept just fine, he was just (somewhat sarcastically) pointing out this thread is about the 2024 recruiting class, and discussions about defending Penix/Washington can be held elsewhere, such as the Football board. MuellerHorn was being nice and participating in the conversation about the undersized center, etc.

These jokes are cheesy.

It doesn’t bother some of you that y’all can think and intimidate Aggies so well. I could never bring myself to using Aggie rhetoric ever. That shit is so cringe. Are y’all really lmao while doing so?

So Texas has four 5-star players and is currently third in the team rankings. If we flip one or both of Bussey or McKinley where will we be ranked?

Either one would get us around 298.  Both would be 304 and in front of Bama at 300. Long shots of course but if the Kelly to Michigan rumors prove true then we'd be in a good spot to get McKinley.

This is the culmination of what we were told this summer, that Sark and staff believe they were going to have a very good team and were wagering a lot, recruiting-wise, that they would get a huge return on that strategy if the team turned out to be as good as they thought it would be.  

Sark knows that it Texas hits it out of the park on the field this year it's going to be katy bar the door re: recruits wanting to commit. 


Sark gambled and came up big. If Texas wins it all ... holy shit.

Yep. That's a huge benefit to having a coaching cadre that includes Sark, PK, Flood, and Banks. They've been around good college teams and know when they have one. Leading into the season when Sark kept saying "this looks like my team" it made me more optimistic than any $9.95 report or podcast. These guys know what they are doing and they have a plan that extends well beyond the weekly game. It's pretty damn cool to watch it play out and even cooler when you realize we are nowhere near the end of the journey. The big challenge will be evolving and staying ahead of the curve, but I think Sark is more self-aware and understands that complexity much better than guys like Mack, Dabo, Jimbo, Day, etc. We got lucky with this hire--right man, right time, right coaching coattails. Hook 'em!

I'll be pretty gruntled if we get Foster and call it a day. I wish he had been more "encouraged" to sign this week. Dubose is the only questionable take. 

I think they're recruiting Bussey at star. Probably his best fit on defense. He's a little short for corner, and he's not as good Filsaime and Rubell at safety. I probably wouldn't pay what aggy is willing to shell out to keep him. 

McKinley has ran out of welcomes in my book especially with a high upside replacement like Foster in place, but you have to trust Big 12 Champion/CFP coaching.

The biggest reason for the success this season and moving forward is Bo Davis and Kyle Flood. Texas has two of the top LOS coaches in college football and it shows.

Yes. But Sark also deserves props for prioritizing the lines from the first full recruiting class.

The real hero here is AJ Milwee's equipment manager.  Always providing head covering attire. 

I'm going with signing bigger classes without bread. We churn through the roster much faster these days, get rid of the dead weight, and have complete classes with real competition at each position. Roster management has been better than any other time since scholarship limits.

I’m with you on Foster. I haven’t watched his huddle, but even though it sounds like it will take him until the fall of 2026 to be a player, I like the projection of his being an enormous dude  

I am not right there with you on not know that “run” is the past participle of “to run”.

”McKinley has run out of welcomes…”

I would say that Surly and the Pancake Factory BMDs deserve a ton of props for prioritizing the lines for Sark’s first full recruiting class. 

Pulling in those 6 OLs has made all the difference with regards to giving the big uglies their props, their time in the spotlight, and da’ monies.

Gracias a ustedes con plata!

Yeah, it's not like these guys just showed up on the practive field and started coaching. The biggest reason for our success is Sark's ability to put together teams of coaches and teams of players then build a culture. He took the shit for the losses, he deserves the credit for the wins.

I'm sure these excellent line coaches would agree.

Evans is a defensive lineman and he had zero chance of beating out Cook, Wingo, and Niblett if he had come to Texas.
