If Banks was the only OT to volunteer to play on the right side...well, that sounds like something I'd expect out of a team player like Roschon Johnson. In other words: do like.  

agree, I think that's the biggest takeaway from that anecdote.

    Thanks. I have been on the boards since 1997 when I was a student at Texas. We've spent decades as fans and board patrons feeling powerless to create any real change. The Internet, social media,

    I work closely with a certain previously committed 5 star QB's father (hint: its Quinn Ewers, for those who haven't been following recruiting closely like I have) and chatted with him a bit this after

There are plenty of camp videos showing Banks absolutely dominating these drills.  Stop worrying.  This shit doesn’t matter anyways.  Let Flood develop him with pads on.

Luckily I've never tried wiping with my opposite hand, but I can imagine that's a proper analogy, especially when it comes to your normal outside pass blocking. You'll probably get into your sets slower, and with much poorer form when you get there. You have to shift your weight to the opposite foot etc... It'll take a lot of reps to get used to.

Also sometimes a player can only effectively play one side.  I was a right CB in football -- tried left CB a couple of practices and my coach started bitching at me saying "get your ass back over to right CB where you belong".

There's a lot more that goes into wiping your ass than I realized.

There are definitely those. I was basically the swing tackle in HS, doing both, so I wouldn't know how it feels being at one for so long and then switching. I was better at pass-blocking at RT, but handled LT fine.

You will see a lot of college LTs switch to RT or swing in the NFL.

That entire story is a spin machine. If you read the article it even mentions that Venables talked to him about NIL. Funny how they leave that out of the headline.

More OU fan-fiction.  Players play at OU for the name on the front of the jersey.  Caleb Williams wanted to walk-on so they could give his scholarship to a kid with spina bifida.  Lincoln Riley was holding the offense back.  Brent Venables is the savior who will lead them out of the Lincoln Riley football desert.

Riley leaving gave that entire fanbase a psychotic break - and they have created this group delusion about the whole situation.

The simple fact is that OU got dumped and now they're trying to argue that the 4 they were with previously is hotter than the 9 that dumped them because the ex has a great personality.

His RT was the only reason I even knew this article existed, and I suspect that will be the case for thousands of others.  Just an insane saboteur for the program.

Most recruits/players want money. So that PR spin will only help us.

Even with a bidet it pays to have solid strategy, technique and form.

Brian Davis is out earning a fucking beat down with his idiotic nonsense.

Edited by Chopper

So, we've lost recruits for years (to OU) because we didn't play the bag game as well (or as much) as others (OU).  But, now that it's above-board and legal, players will turn us down because of???money???

Ok, cool.  Hook 'em.

Can the athletic dept. just ban AAS' access?

I lived in Knoxville for 18 years and the local media would have never gone out of their way to trash a program like the AAS does.

OB and AAS are detriments to the program. Never seen so much “local media” sabotage a program before.

It’s going to take a lot of people leaking on CDC to get that ball rolling. Even then, he may not do shit if all he does is fundraising.

Unluckily, I've had to do so for years because my right rotator cuff was fucked up in a fall and the surgery failed.

It's still awkward. I'm considering hiring staff for the job.

Five-star offensive lineman Devon Campbell talks finalists ahead of February decision

Spoiler

Five-star offensive lineman Devon Campbell talks finalists ahead of February decision

Mike Roach
 

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla — Devon Campbell came into the Under Armour All-American Game with a lot of expectations. The five-star offensive lineman from Arlington (Texas) Bowie is one of the top uncommitted prospects in the nation.

He recently announced he’s down to a final duo of Texas and Oklahoma for his college decision. Campbell said that both schools have been recruiting him hard throughout his career, and that has the Red River rivals in a battle.

“Really the same thing that’s been this whole recruiting process,” Campbell said. “UT was really the first school that showed love the most and just staying consistent. Same with Oklahoma.”

Though Lincoln Riley left Oklahoma, Bill Bedenbaugh stayed. That factor alone has Oklahoma as a top contender for him.

“Coach Bedenbaugh staying really played a big factor,” Campbell said. “His consistency to stay on me. He constantly hits me up every day to show me I’m a real priority.”

Brent Venables has been trying to put together the Oklahoma class since taking the job. He met with Campbell shortly after arriving in Norman, and Campbell said he likes what he’s seen from the new Oklahoma head coach.

“I did talk to him,” Campbell said. “He came for a home visit but I was at my basketball game. I did talk to him though. He was really cool. He’s a defensive guy, so I like the energy he brings.”

Kyle Flood is also a significant factor in this race. The Texas offensive line coach is putting together a big class, and Campbell would be the cherry on top.

“Same relationship,” he said. “We’re tight. We’ve got our connection going on since he moved to Texas. It’s just been like that since.”

The Longhorns already have six offensive linemen in their recruiting class. Campbell said the overall numbers don’t really make a difference to him.

“It really doesn’t factor that much,” he said. “I see they are trying to build something special.”

At this time of year, committed players are working to get others to join them in the recruiting class. Campbell said he’s been off of his phone and trying to lay low while he makes the decision when asked if any other prospects had been working on him.

“Not really,” he said. “I’ve just been trying to keep it quiet and lay low.”

Campbell plans to make his decision on February 3. The traditional signing day lost some luster with the early signing period, but Campbell wants to wait it out and make sure he’s done all of his homework.

“I’m going to wait it out til February 3,” he said. “I’m really just taking my time with it and enjoying the process while it lasts.”

Campbell played primarily at tackle through his career. This offseason will be about the transition to the interior where he will play during his college career.

“I’m actually working on moving to guard,” Campbell said. “I’m working more on the interior side. Being at this camp and starting off at guard and getting a few center reps, everything is new to me so I’m just figuring it out. It’s really just playing a new position, walking through techniques, making sure I’ve got the hand placements right and making sure I can succeed in that position.”

At 6-foot-3, 310 pounds, Campbell is ranked as the No. 1 interior offensive lineman in the nation and No. 3 overall prospect in Texas, according to 247Sports Composite.

If the Texas recruiting pitch wasn't centered around money/NIL than this staff is fucking stupid. It's a huge advantage Texas has moving forward. 

Also, leave it to aggys to not understand the difference between NIL and bagman game.

Got dam. I quit posting for a month and we sign one of the best QB prospects in the last 20 years and by far the best OL class we've ever had while also making massive upgrades at WR and RB coach. I'm really not sure if any program in the last couple decades has signed a better QB and OL group in one class. I guess I should stay away until we pull in Addison, an All-Conference LT, LB, TE, and S too. 

There's no doubt we've made massive upgrades on offense, though the 2022 OL is still a pretty big question mark and we don't have much of an infusion of talent ready to go in 2022 on defense while bringing back the same defensive staff from one of the worst defenses in school history. I think Finkley, Brooks, Allen, and Watts could be ready to be strong contributors next season, but we still need some more help at edge, ILB and probably safety depending on where Cook and Watts play.  Making at least one change on the defensive coaching staff would be nice too, but seems like that wont happen, unless we add GP as an analyst.

Nahlin gets a lot of shit (rightfully so sometimes) but I enjoy that he's willing to call out our lame local media. The one thing I can say about TFB and IT is they aren't out to harm the program

Yeah, I've never been more convinced that NIL is going to have a big impact. Look at all these PR stunts and rival fans reacting. 

They are scared.

I don’t like the negative spin but can our media and longhorn writers start fucking spinning shit on aggy and ousucks. So fucking tired of the “we’re above that” stupid shit. Instead we have writers that try and destroy the program they cover.

Regarding Looch, I often ask myself:

A) is he just putting on this Texas hate act as part of his job? or

B) does Texas live completely rent free in the wide open spaces of air in his head?

I have concluded the answer is most definitely B.
