December 3, 20232 yr You think Sark put him in because Brooks had decided to go pro? I think Bobby button was saying a scout told him he’d go 3rd or 4th even with the injury. I wouldn’t blame him either way
December 3, 20232 yr It happened right in front of me, they were working hard to get his pads on right before he went on the field. 4 minutes ago, dingleberryswitzer said: You think Sark put him in because Brooks had decided to go pro?

December 3, 20232 yr This was one the best things I've ever seen in Texas football in my entire life. Top 20. I had to watch it a few times.

December 3, 20232 yr He's definitely going pro. RBs don't get shit these days and next season the backfield will be crowded with an improved Baxter, improved Blue, and Wisner needing some run. Then add in Gibson (if he signs) and the kid from AZ as talented true freshmen. This was Brooks year to stand out to get drafted and he did. Edited December 3, 20232 yr by Hermanator
December 7, 20232 yr Bobby is saying he has heard even with the ACL injury Brooks still has a 3rd-4th round grade.

December 7, 20232 yr Brooks finally will have his ACL surgery in Dallas this week. OTF said he delayed the surgery a week so he could take a snap in the B12 Championship Game. Thanks for a great year JB !!! 🤘 NSIAP...Here's some comments

I think there’s a lot of upside to coming back No matter when he plays again, He probably wouldn’t be 100% the entire season. Would split time with at least Baxter. Remember 4 months ago Sark decided that Baxter was better. Baxter will be better and Brooks recovering. Dude should take the money, get paid to rehab and thr nfl team wouldn’t expect much from him in 2024 except getting back to 100%

Baxter didn’t break many tackles all season, hopefully he changes that before next season. We went from top in the nation to not great, here’s his YAC and yards per carry per game. It was pretty frustrating watching him go down so easy most of the season. Edited December 9, 20232 yr by Hook1997

Not terrible for a freshman… I just think the last 5 star RB spoiled us. Baxter operates well in the offense, he will just need to take that next step next year. No telling how beat up he really has been. This month of rest might benefit him more than anyone on the team.

I don’t think people understand the contact balance thing that all 3 bijan Roschon and Jonathon had as being elite. They all had more broken tackles per touch than any other backs in the country basically. That wasn’t an accident and CJ Baxter was definitely learning it and showing it the last 2 games. He found something in the 2nd half of the tech game. Going into next year I expect him to be much better in this regard.
December 9, 20232 yr Crying shame he hurt his knee. He was going to win the Doak, or at the minimum be a finalist.
December 9, 20232 yr I’ll admit, I looked away on that last snap and didn’t see Arch take a quick knee. When he pitched to Brooks, I almost yelled out, “WTF are you doing pitching it to a guy with one knee?”

It was pretty frustrating watching him go down so easy most of the season. I saw that stat on another thread, along with a highlight reel of Baxter’s carries, and in my eyes, he had way more YAC in that single reel than he was being credited for. I’m not saying he doesn’t need to improve, I just don’t get how his YAC were that low.
December 9, 20232 yr Brooks in on the final play was great, but nothing will ever top this moment for me:
December 9, 20232 yr Brooks in on the final play was great, but nothing will ever top this moment for me: I knew what it was before I clicked. I remembered when it happened.

January 4, 20241 yr Brooks is a stud and I wish him nothing but the best. Am I wrong in thinking this is probably best for both parties next year? Brooks likely wasn't going to be fully healthy to start next year and him returning likely would have scared off one of Blue or Baxter.
January 4, 20241 yr 3 minutes ago, 4th and 5 said: you get that slander out your mouth! he'd have been RB1 again No doubt but probably not to start the season based on his injury.
January 4, 20241 yr No doubt but probably not to start the season based on his injury. He won't be starting the season for an NFL team either. Not sure this is the best thing for JB since running backs are already devalued by the NFL and he won't be providing value right away to any team who drafts him.Having said that, hookem JB! Thanks for helping us to achieve what we did this year[emoji869]
January 4, 20241 yr The worst possible result for us would have been JB returning only for half or 1/4 the season and scaring off one of Blue or Baxter. That would have put us in a tight spot.
January 4, 20241 yr NFL shelf -life for RB's is ridiculously short, here's to him. Go forth and spread the word.
January 4, 20241 yr Smart decision. Makes money based off of this season's performance and doesn't run the risk of coming back next year and looking like shit and killing his draftability.
January 5, 20241 yr Author Popular Post We have 5 signed Sugar Bowl balls from Jonathon 3 hats and 2 coins.

January 5, 20241 yr Crazy that hes RB1 in the draft but wasnt even the coaches choice for first string 4 months ago
January 5, 20241 yr Hook em Brooks. Hell of a season and one of the main reasons we won the conference and ultimately went to the CFP. I won’t forget that. Go get yours.
