Osborne had a better recruiting in Texas when Nebraska was in the Big 8 not the Big 12. The Big 12 was the beginning of the end and Big 10 closed the door.

Being on a national network is where Bobby has always been (Rivals, 247, On3). It also gives subscribers access to other teams.

This is an obnoxious response. The irony of your statement is that now the coaches are actually going to focus harder than they did even a year ago on developmental prospects with upside. So, paradoxically, it might be more likely going forward that the coaches would find another Murphy and Sweat than the trend lines the last few years would suggest. But my point was that if you can find a 5- or high-4-star DT, you go all-in because they are like a supernova if they hit their ceiling. Okay, how about this: you go offer all the 3-star DTs that you’d like hoping to find Byron Murphy and I’ll go pay $1.5M to Jalen Carter. Deal?

Not good. Not good at all.

Funny, once tom Osborne threw his tantrum and Nebraska bolted for the big 10 they lost their recruiting in Texas. How’d that work out?

Would Bryon Murphy and T Sweat have been elite in your book?

The question regarding QB is how do you get the homegrown guy to gain experience or are you willing to risk growing pains that could result in a 3 loss season?

As much as I hate Kyle flood yes

I would add Currie to the list. There are just not enough truly elite DTs out there, so loading up on high-end IDL talent in high school recruiting feels more important than ever.

Props where it's due, Texas took aggy's women's tennis coach and they found a replacement who's brought them championships. Sometimes a blind squirrel finds a nut.

I'm pretty sure any school, including Texas, would do the same thing if they were in Tech's position.

Also if Ole Miss didn't choke a massive 8 run lead with 3 outs to go; they likely win that regional as well.

Read my follow-up post. They clearly are a blue blood program based on overall resume, but at what point does their downward trajectory kick them out of the club? OU will be competitive going forward, but they are never going to be a dominant force in college football again unless something drastic changes like pooling revenues.

Nebraska isn’t a blood.

No brainer

Take off the brunt orange glasses. OU is definitely a blue blood

My first favorite Longhorn in any sport!

Absolutely right on Deshon Elliott! He was a menace and is often left out of the DBU conversations, or at least not recognized the way he should be given how impressive of a season he had. Great read Jeff.

The “one student athlete and one season” is misleading. This would set precedent which would have far reaching implications for future student athlete gambling.

“Joey the Mouth” -Bobby

It’s ok. Bobby is on record that he hates the Midwest. Ask @Joe Zura

Yes!! Brooks is my absolute favorite of all time! So cool his son in on the football team?!

I couldn't stress this any more Jeff. I am a firm believer as I've stated in other threads that investing in the premium positions in high school is the most efficient way to build a championship roster. Camara to me is worth the gamble to develop into a franchise LT. Same with KJ Green. I think he is well worth the money with us losing Colin if we don't have a chance to give DJ Jacobs the ranch.
