Let me help you out my dude:

LT - Banks, LG - Dunlap, C - Angilau, RG - Campbell, RT - Jones/Williams

We're benching Majors? Wasn't he one of our better lineman this year?

    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

Yeah that works as well. I'd be concerned starting 3 true freshmen. I wonder if Jones gets moved inside to guard this off-season?

if we are starting 3 true freshmen on the OL we are megafucked.

I have no problem with players taking illegal bags and screwing over the crooked schools.  Seems like justice to me.

You’d think that after the Trans Am incident they’d wait until after they signed to fully drop the bags, but they are Aggies I guess.

I think that Minnesota dude projects to IOL.

LT - Banks
LG - Dunlap/Angilau
C - Majors/Angilau
RG - Angilau/Conner/Dunlap
RT - Christian Jones

Would be a good reasonable guess, I guess. Who knows though.

Dunlap fell off after injuring his Achilles and couldn't crack the starting rotation at Minnesota: https://redd.it/q6o394

It's another Gibbs-type situation. Have to hope he continues to heal and get better.

He could, but I think with Hudson, Robinson, Campbell, Agbo, and Dunlap I don't think there will be a need. The only way I see that happen is if we get an upperclassmen Tackle in the portal.

Players want to be a part of a group of other great players. This seemed to be a big factor in aggy closing well, Harris is probably a good example. They were throwing bags but their class was shaping up to be epic because all the top players were wanting/pressured to play together. 

Ewers changes all that. He's a transcendental QB. Players know this. Hence the shift and buzz on our recruiting.

edit: That and the awesome effort by folks, especially on here, with NIL. That is a major game changer.

Ok but Minnesota was great on the OL last year, not starting there doesn't mean he shouldn't start here

He's supposed to have an injury that naturally has a two-year healing cycle. Gibbs just destroyed his leg.

Majors got abused in a few games. he needs to put on strength and size. Angilau would be an upgrade at the position as a Senior. Long term I still like Majors.

probably referring to Kobie as well

Matthews listed at S is he a safety or lb? 

He has speed, size, agility for both. Probably won't consider schools who mention lb. But lb.

Last time I mentioned this I got jumped on by a bunch of people insisting that the UNLV kid backed off on us, not the other way around 🙄

Regardless, McKinzie's a big dude and could have easily grown out of playing LB. Passing on Windmon was a miscalculation.

My guess is there has been significant inquiry from potential transfers and this will play out in our favor. I hope so anyway.

Yes. I mean it's not going to happen but we absolutely want someone who would do that, especially to A&M. We need cold-blooded mercenaries on the roster.

Also, they are literally already participating in a crime by taking the bags. Not sure how fucking over A&M makes things worse instead of better.

Oh really. It was posted somewhere here that texags firmly believes that bag money is much more ethical than the shady illegal NIL stuff we are doing.

This one doubly stings - according to Gerry, we backed off the uNLV LB because of Kobie's committment.

Well that’s just stupid.

People didn’t believe it because it’s fucking stupid. Even if Kobie does somehow stick at LB, there’s zero chance he’d be an immediate impact guy there. Windmon is an immediate impact transfer.

So ... was you DAD fired by the Astros?  Just curious.

 

 

No, first cousin who was a pitcher and would get called up every year and then sent back down to the minors. He then coached before becoming a scout. I have lots of relatives who did well in baseball: I was always way too hyper for the sport.

Staff still hasn't learned their lesson. And if we had to choose between the two it should have been the UNLV LB.

Justin Wells: Recruits react to Quinn Ewers picking Texas

Quote

When Quinn Ewers to Texas went public last night, it started an avalanche of possibilities for the 2022 class and beyond. Big-time players want to play with Ewers, and with the collection of prospects headed to Austin in this cycle, it could spill over into the 2023 group too. Spoke to a handful of commits and prospects on their initial reactions to the blonde mullet coming home.

  • “I think Quinn (Ewers) will be a huge pickup,” said Brenen Thompson (Spearman). “It’ll also help bring in some other guys.”
  • “I think there will definitely be some to follow,” said Connor Robertson (Austin Westlake).
  • “(Ewers to Texas) is great,” said Rueben Owens (El Campo). “It’s a good look for UT.”
  • “Big pickup for sure,” said BJ Allen (Aledo). “Should bring some top wide receivers to the program now.”
  • “I mean come on now, it’s Quinn Ewers,” said Johntay Cook (Desoto). “Honestly think the new era of Texas Football is about to begin.”
  • “We about to get crazy in Austin,” said Derrick Brown (Texas High), about the addition of Ewers. “Don’t sleep on the Longhorns.”

The buzz is real. The momentum is rolling. And the Longhorns are putting college football on notice.

If we found a decent to good OT in the portal would we entertain moving Jones inside?

So Aggy bagman looking at 1st or 2nd degree felony if caught and enforced which is highly unlikely.

Yeah it's a pipe dream which is why nobody ever talks about it, including me. But there's no time like the present to start enforcing it now that there is a legal way for college athletes to make money. 

Edited by Huckleberry

Sucks we lost out on the UNLV LB because of Kobie. I wonder if we get any traction with the oregon decommit.

Outside of Banks, I am in favor redshirting every other OL (including Campbell). As someone pointed out, Conner should have been afforded a redshirt year last year but it's probably good he got his feet wet a little. Conner and Angilau can hold down the two guard spots and Campbell would be in perfect position to take over when Angilau departs after the season.

Can one of you twitter guys verify?

 

Not a recruit but nothing has happened with Mukuba 

I know they hey’d ewers but have they done that to others that I missed, and is it recruitment or veiled announcement?  
 

i only glanced at Derrick brown’s timeline but it seems like it was just ewers and after it was public?

This is true in the sense that he has not missed yet. But I don’t think he has only tweeted post-silent if that’s what you mean.

I don't think it's supposed to until after Clemson bowl game, if it does happen.

If we take 6 HS OL, I'd imagine we only grab 1 portal guy at that group.

But the Brocks are a package deal

Is there actually any smoke with the Brocks? Tommy B plus Banks at either end of the line would be unreal.
