I don’t see Sellers being QB3 in this draft. Also Ryan Williams needs to apply some glue to his hands if he wants to go in round 1

I am betting this becomes a non-story. just listening to coffee and football and maybe there is more to this than meets my eye.

Being from Friendswood ... I remember the name talked about by coaches from area schools. Had some terrific teams in late 60's and early 70's

And 22 of 32 will be drafted out of the college they signed with out of HS High school recruiting remains the lifeblood of programs

2026 champs or bust.

We are loaded!

Sad to report on the passing for former West Columbia coach, Jack Hays. He is a member of the Texas High School Coaches Hall of Honor and was well respected by his peers. He was my cousin and spent his some of his childhood chumming with my father. Both were coaches and both in the Hall of Honor. His daughter, Jenna Hays McEachern has written about Texas football and is as much of a source on information as her friend Bill Little. Condolences of his kids Jack Jr., Jenna and Colonel Jeff Hays Jeff Hays spent many years coaching at Air Force Academy after graduating from there. Service details are pending

I only used the dumb part because you can’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Of course he’s been great with two final fours. However, he’s sort of at a crossroads it seems. He’s gonna have to figure out why players won’t stay. The lack of portal movement seems like we can’t attract the ones we want. It isn’t lack of wanting people or trying. Credit the staff for keeping the class together. Hey I coach for living and get nuggets from time to time that I don’t always share. Look in our profession you either adapt or die. It’s just the way it is. If you think you have it down pat, you probably don’t. I hope Vic has wise council around him.

For Vic, who plays usually stems from how they are playing defensively versus offensively. He pulled Crump and Carlton early in games because of how poor they played defense at times. He did this with Lee as well against UCLA when she just didn't have the same intensity she normally has. Booker shooting 3-23 and Lee 2-17 are anomalies. Shooters will shoot and you have to run with who got you there. Nobody would ever predict Booker would shoot 13%. She wasn't tired, she was just missing easy shots. That being said, I would have liked Vic taking her out of the game for 1-2 minutes early just to talk to her and get her in a different mindset when she missed 7-8 shots in a row after the first bucket. But Vic gets us to the finals if Booker shoots 6-23 instead which is terrible for her as well. Just very unfortunate we low rolled in the final four and now in the off season.

Pay wall - can you cut and paste list?

Todd calls this the most anticipated draft of his career and he’s got 6 longhorns going round 1 https://mcshay-report.beehiiv.com/p/my-way-too-early-2027-mock-draft

That would be interesting to see - original schools versus transfers. And track those drafted thst originated at FCS schools.

Maybe he can wear number 8 in honor of Kobe Bryant.

Or practice squad.

Betting on something you have no control of is stupid.

For me, the real headline from this NFL draft is that only 4 players from FCS level were drafted…and 2 of those 4 players were from North Dakota State (who is moving up to FBS this season). What is shows is that economics are driven college football more and more into a true Major league and Minor leagues structure. Talent will always flow to the top conferences - and increasingly the lower leagues will be devoid of elite talent (NFL-worthy talent). I have not seen the analysis yet, but it would be fascinating to see the number of NFL draftees by school originally attended out of high school (instead of the college where they played their final season before getting drafted). This would be incredibly revealing. For example, Tech had 9 players drafted, but 8 of those players were transfer via portal from other schools, and only 1 was recruited to Texh from high school. This is why the number of players drafted for the Big 12 is surprisingly high…they can source players from G5 or FCS that are talented enough to get drafted.

Wasn't that their schedule last year, and ASU beat them?

Has not been a good off season. I try to stay out of these threads attacking our coaches and players. I like Vic, my niece played for him back in the day when he was really tough and she loves him. I think he is a great coach and bugs me when we attack our own when it gets a little tough. All fan bases the same I know. I think we will be better than you all think next year. We will see. Final Four 2 years in a row and No. 1 recruiting class does not suck in my opinion. Hook Em And you may be accurate on the Dumb part, LOL

Neither. It’s tbd. Addition by subtraction is a real thing. We don’t know if the ones that left are a value add to another team as much as we don’t if the incoming amazing class can gel from the beginning. Basketball might be the easiest sport for freshmen to have an immediate impact. Texas didn’t bring in anyone that the interwebs wanted but I’m not sure whom Vic missed out on that is crushing. Maybe he believes the new class is better than those exiting? Maybe he is stubborn and losing his touch with the current generation? TBD

“Yall” want tea and/or reasons to make sense of the mass exodus that occurred not x/o. Enough has been alluded to and it’s nothing more than human conflict for whatever reasons. Vic probably needs to adjust some of his approach to 2026 while commits need to have the EI to play for a non flexible coach. Staff probably should have said something even if it’s to say we aren’t going to comment but it’s merica in 26. You’ll get what you get and you’ll like it. Also, they may have replied but I’m not scrubbing 25 pages of screenshots and dear Abby. I got one that ignores anything I ask and one that can’t reply to email even with no comment but I’m just a subscriber. South has been great in replying and overall this staff is still better than most. Probably time to lock this one and move on to how they’ll gel under Vic vs sky is falling speculation.

let’s take the lesser talent at oline? man that should be the premium position we pay for
