2027 Taven Epps Decommits from Texas
taxsaver replied to CJ Vogel's topic in On Texas Football Forum
Bummer. He's a potential superstar. Which, of course, is why this is happening. -
Flood’s future I don’t know. I think the room has to be evaluated at the end of the season. Assuming Baker and Goosby are back, who are the backups? Chatman has been dinged and another T had a knee injury. Who’s the competition and backups? Can we bring in some guys with experience to compete? Is Brooks a tackle? Same for G. Who starts who competes? The need for Stroh to play is an indictment on the other players. I think you have to bring in guys, 2 is my over under. Robertson at center and Cruz backing him up I can buy. I think. Saturday looms large for how the room truly looks.

For those that don't know, Amarillo High actually went 8-2 during their season but ended up having to forfeit 6 of their wins due to a clerical technicality that UIL ruled a player ineligible (the district allows open transfers but a paper didn't get submitted earlier in the season--the school district and administration is who screwed this up). They announced this forfeiture the morning of their last game of season in which they would be battling their crosstown rival Tascosa for 2nd place and a home 1st round playoff game, whom they beat 63-21 that night without knowing if they would even have a chance to make the postseason after a great season. I am an Amarillo High grad and am so happy for these kids who truly had an amazing season--they still get a chance to continue their season. -
I noticed that as well. Thought I saw them use a coffee house blitz a few times too. Definitely isolated weaknesses of the Mizzou OL.

Yeah, I don't get that. I wish the kid well and would love to have him back in the class if the coaches see that. 99.9% of us could not handle being a college football coach. We would ABSOLUTELY lose it during recruiting. It just shows the maturity, grace, and patience of these coaches. My years of being a Youth Pastor would pay GREAT dividends in that profession. It's not easy. -

That's awesome. As a native Lubbockite (I escaped), it makes me want to puke seeing Amarillo High get in 😭 If this wasn't done at an Allsup's, it should be a required re-flip. Travesty. - Today

The blitzes the A&M defense ran against Missouri were simple in concept, but the second blitzer through the same gap puts the OG/C in conflict. The DL creates a gap between the OG/OC by slanting away from it, and Elko was having 2 guys run through the same A gap with a slight delay for the second blitzer due to starting slightly deeper. The RB takes the "most immediate" threat to the QB (usually the first one he sees, leaving the second blitzer running full speed at the QB unless the OG or OC manage to slow him down. Missouri's OL didn't come up with a solution.

We do the same thing in our local rec league football (ages K-6th grade). The coaches and commissioners meet up at the field house 30 minutes following the conclusion of the last game. A few years ago we had to break a 5-way tie! 🤪 -

Wish we could still celebrate the McDonald's in Plainview -
Long time from signing day for this guy and he was visiting a bunch of other places that weren’t Texas. If he’s commits to a rival after being committed here, then you know, break a leg and all that.

A little surprised on this one since he's a Cali kid. Any word on who is making the biggest move here?

Both to an extent. Texas didn’t let Endries or Watson see any other campuses because they basically trumped everyone else’s offer by a significant amount. The same could have been done for Pregnon, but wasn’t. That was an exceptionally bad choice by the staff. Obviously nothing they can do about it now, but it’s worth pointing out that it absolutely *could* have been done. If Pregnon went to Oregon because he liked it more, fine. But we should have treated his recruitment like Watson’s or Endries. Hindsight is 20/20, so it is what it is.
