If he plays this right, Michigan will start outrecruiting Ohio State and Oregon on a regular basis. That has not been the case for most of my lifetime. Not sure if they have the right coaching staff in place to maximize that talent, but something to watch over the next few recruiting cycles.

Or Georgia or Kentucky.

2027 Lakeview Centennial (Texas) cornerback Montre Jackson tells OTF he will be visiting the Texas Longhorns this weekend for the matchup against UTEP. Jackson is currently ranked as the No. 20 cornerback in the country and No. 178 player in the country by 247Sports. He tells OTF that he remains in contact with the Texas staff regularly and now he will be in Austin for a game visit. The Garland native possesses elite speed, boasting a 10.39 wind-aided 100m in the spring. In April, Jackson clocked a wind-legal 10.53 100m. The four-star cornerback was at Oklahoma last weekend and the Longhorns will have their crack at impressing one of the top prospects in DFW.

So in the way I look at it, DJ and Neto are who they are going to be, but can the guys around them come into the players they will become? From there they get better not individually, but collectively. That goes for all groups, both sides of the ball, and as a team. Fact is Texas may end up better in some areas than others. The more they set the standard of who they are to become the more we can hold them to that and judge from there. We can't expect a team to just be who we think they should be when they show us who and what they are. Is all I'm saying.

Yes this I agree with. I included all 4 conferences in the original FBS1 talk track as a handful of programs in the ACC and Big 12 will be selected to make their way over and how else do we reference them than by their current name.

its an interesting theory how much a position group can improve vs how much latent talent they have. On one hand you have five star generational LTs like Banks that didn’t take long at all to lock in and then you have players that are just never going to be talented enough to meet a championship level standard no matter how much coaching is involved. And then there are the inbetweens. One can hope we have the latent talent along the OL that can become championship level standard but a few of the dudes like DJ and Neto have been around long enough that I think we know their upside.

You just wait for it pal that’s all I’m saying 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The ACC as we know it will be going away in 2031. There’s no need to consider the B12 after the few valuable schools (ASU, Utah, Colorado) leave that conference to force their way into the P2 after the ACC dissolves in 2031. So, the “FSB1” you propose above really needn’t consider the ACC nor B12 as conferences to include in it. It’ll be two conferences, and any membership from current ACC or B12 schools will be highly restrictive and selective.

I'm not arguing 🤣. I'm having a conversation.

She moves really well in that video, big time prospect!

I don’t care about Tech or what Cody Campbell is doing. I shared where I think this ends up, which is the Power 4 splitting away from the Group of 6.

So why push this if it’s going to be the same? lol this is what I meant when I said he’s creating a problem that doesn’t exist to fix something that isn’t broke just so Tech can be guaranteed as part of the future. Especially with big 12 2031 deal going to be not very good while sec and bigs continue to grow.

It's not about being pretty right now. I keep saying and we all know that Texas is replacing all but one starter on the offensive line. I'm not talking about one play, one player, one game. I'm talking improving in season and because I feel like the team is improving, the team we see now isn't the team we will see in December.

If you ever can't sleep, put on a video with Ian you'll be out in no time.

Yeah, but at the same time Texas could end up being better passing than running the ball. So the strides in pass blocking could be larger in that area. So Texas improved in that area and they just aren't as good run blocking or visa versa. We don't know which is why I'm saying instead of trying to predict or assuming let's let it happen and assess.

Every post that someone may disagree with does not require an ad hominen attack on the poster with whom you disagree. I left Inside Texas because it had become unreadable with the constant personal attacks on other posters.

You don’t even have to go there for it. Bob, CJ, and Jeff all gave OL D grades last game.
