May 31, 20223 yr Bobby/Gerry from yesterday - this is only including the players who reported yesterday (not the early enrollees). Bobby: Quote Most likely to succeed: Devon CampbellFirst to see the field in a game: Agiye Hall/Will Stone on special teams. Three- or four-year starters: Devon Campbell, Kelvin Banks, Cam Williams, Neto Umeozulu, Brenen Thompson, Will Stone.Highest upside (offense): Cam WilliamsHighest upside (defense): J’Mond TappMost physical: Kelvin Banks/Savion RedFastest: Brenen ThompsonQuickest: Savion RedMost athletic: Agiye Hall/Devon Campbell/Kristopher RossMost underrated: Austin JordanBoom or bust: J’Mond Tapp/Ethan Burke/Savion RedAs you can see, I’m a big believer in the OL class. Barring injury, I just see no way the class doesn’t produce at least three multi-year starters.I also feel like there are some hidden gems in this recruiting class. Savion Red is one of them. There are no better football players in this class than Red, but he’s also a boom or bust candidate because he doesn’t necessarily have a well defined position at the college level, even though he’s starting out at receiver.I selected Devon Campbell over Kelvin Banks as the most likely to succeed because of Campbell‘s multi-sport background. Time after time, the stats show that multi-sport athletes take to the college game quicker and better than their counterparts. So even though I think Banks is a fantastic prospect, Campbell is more likely to succeed. Gerry: Quote Most likely to succeed: Kelvin BanksFirst to see the field in a game: Agiye Hall/Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey covering on special teams.Three- or four-year starters: Devon Campbell, Kelvin Banks, Cam Williams, Neto Umeozulu, Brenen Thompson, Will Stone.Highest upside (offense): Cam WilliamsHighest upside (defense): J’Mond TappMost physical: Kelvin Banks/Savion RedFastest: Brenen ThompsonQuickest: Savion RedMost athletic: Agiye Hall/Devon Campbell/Kristopher Ross/Ethan BurkeMost underrated: Ethan BurkeBoom or bust: J’Mond Tapp/Malik Agbo

May 31, 20223 yr Author Popular Post Gerry's never been very high on Agbo. I'm interested in seeing how he compares to the others now they're all here. Regarding Stone, Dicker was offered legit NIL money to come back for another season. His agent convinced him he'd be a 4th or 5th round pick and didn't need NIL. Whoops.

Dicker was a much better kicker before he was needed as punter. I don't think his punting is good enough for the NFL and his kicking isn't really either. I think if he just focuses on kicking, though, that he can be very successful.

May 31, 20223 yr Sounds like his agent got the pieces of paper crossed up. Thought the NIL $$$ was the 4/5th round salary and said it’s time to go! Now he’s loving the fee that he missed out on. DOH! Edited May 31, 20223 yr by RockyMountainHighHorn

The mean average of kicker/punters is like UDFA. He's not even exceptional at either position. The greatest kicker in the history of the NFL was a former Horn and went UDFA.

May 31, 20223 yr Dicker missed way too frequently from outside of 40 yards to be considered NFL quality. The Stone kid has a big leg, hopefully it translates to some clutch long FGs.

November 26, 20232 yr On 1/4/2022 at 12:16 PM, Mittens said: I have, ever since he showed up in Austin. There's no way he has the quickness or power to be a better athlete than Tapp or Finkley, in the way that edge rushers are evaluated as athletes. I've also enjoyed watching the sunshine pumpers in this thread try to hype Burke up as anything more than a project take who will need several years of S&C before he even has a chance to see the field (other than ST maybe). Burke has been a D1 lacrosse player since he stepped on the field as a freshman. His size is an anomaly for that game and his skills/head are top notch there. From a Longhorn perspective, I hope he becomes what folks here think he can be. Personally, I don't think has big time college program pass rusher in him, and he's playing somewhere/thing else come fall 2024. Whatever the surlyshaming equivalent of OldTakesExposed is, this certainly applies. Couldn't have been more wrong. Kid is a fucking beast.

November 26, 20232 yr I thought it was pretty clear once you saw his frame, length, quickness combo that he had a chance to be good. Then you add his motor and see how seriously he takes himself/his craft and you think he's more likely to maximize his potential as a result. He's ahead of schedule. The more surprising development is seeing how ahead of schedule Tapp is against the run.

November 26, 20232 yr Burke led the team in sacks and 2nd in TFLs in his second season. He didn't even get the benefit of a redshirt season. Vasek did and he will be equally ready to kick ass next year.

November 26, 20232 yr I was sold on Burke because we took him from Michigan and it appears he is growing into that typical B1G low rated white dude who turns into a monster DE after several years.

I'm a sucker for any edge rusher who's 6'5+ and has long arms. Obviously there can be studs in other sizes, but my preference is to take big swings on guys with length even if you're def gonna occasionally get some guys who stink
November 26, 20232 yr I knew he was going to be good, obviously. I didn't share that at the time because I don't like being seen as a know-it-all. But I knew
