A little light at CB as well. It's an embarrassment of riches. The most stacked OL room in the country by a mile. I have watched Longhorn football for decades, and the second team would be starters probably back to the Casey Stoddard and Justin Blalock years. So, back to the 05' NC team. Have there been individuals during that time that would start? Probably. But the cohesiveness of the OL now is purely Kyle Flood, and Sark. The team mentality is getting to be like the 05' team. My favorite story from that time was when Texas played Missouri in Columbia. I think it was Justin that turned around to Vince and said, "hey, they know the play." Vince calmly pulled out his mouthpiece, and said "so." CHIEF

December 6, 20241 yr It’s a developmental OL class. Clearly they would have preferred to add Fasusi. I hated losing Mills but it’s not clear how hard the staff fought to keep him. We need to land some real motherfuckers next year. I’m a lot less concerned than I was before we saw the Trevor Goosby-shaped monster than Flood has been cooking up in his lab.Â

December 6, 20241 yr I'm not extinct, I've just been saving up. Then reading through this forum today I realized that this would actually be an improvement considering the message board diarrhea since last night from a certain poster.
December 6, 20241 yr Valid question imo. We have been bringing in 2 year projects vs. the big class of Banks, etc. I'm concerned about OL and IDL. We've got Goosby - who did a great job and Baker on RT next year. Inside OL will be interesting - no Jake Majors for calls but I think we have that covered. Depth, big concerns.  In the last 2 years, Baker is the only OL we've brought in that isn't a 2+ year project to get their bodies ready. Our OT depth is an issue for next year. DT - who knows. Portal help again. I'm not concerned about needing RB, CB, or WR in the portal. We need a real OT and a few DT for rotation and depth. I think a big OT from Oregon is in the portal. Could be wrong, but our OT depth for next year is shit. Same with DT.

It's the 24/25 classes that concern me, specifically at tackle. We've signed 2 true OTs (Baker/Brooks) the last 2 cycles. If Goosby is one and done, we're almost certainly hitting the portal. Not a dire situation (like DT), but we need to crush it in 26 like we did in 22. It's the single biggest reason why we're finally good again.
December 6, 20241 yr Popular Post Whoever compared OL to Bama, here, twitter, whatever, is starfucking and little more. In the last four classes, Texas signed 18 guys, Bama signed 15. Texas has lost one of those guys and Bama has lost at least two. Three of the Texas signees are starters, each of whom will be drafted in the 2025 draft if they leave early, two going in the first round. The Texas OL has largely been a wall and the rotators and backups who have played haven’t changed that. Meanwhile, Bama’s OL has become a thin and disheveled sieve by Bama standards, even with a star mobile QB behind them. Maybe Flood has something to do with it and maybe dummies that can’t even dive surface deep should try harder. Folks worried about OL rankings are worrying about the exact thing that recruiting analysts suck the worst at, by a wide margin. Cam Williams was ranked collectively as the 283rd player in the country coming out of HS. He was a 3 star for 247, while playing for a large, highly visible football factory of a HS power.  Â

It’s like no one remembers what serious OL development look like, which to be fair had been basically 30 years since it happened excluding the 05 class of self starters, but shit don’t take it for granted now motherfuckers.Â
