If he cleans up the penalties he is. Definitely has the physical tools and a bit of potential that hasnt been unlocked imo.

They left out Jelani McDonald, Raleek Brown and Hollywood Smothers too. I doubt Baker goes in the 2027 Draft.

I would say Brandon Baker is a much better player than majority of the fan base believes. This is a NFL guy Matt Miller article ... different than one you mentioned

That’s the logical spot. Following Lane to LSU. Guaranteed Lane has been talking with him behind the scenes. Doesn’t mean we can’t get in on it though. Just a lot tougher when the kid already has a destination in mind.

Interesting Michael Masunas is the sleeper at the TE position

Better hope someone with those starts goes in then or else we’ll have Lavar Ball starting at LG next season

I agree with all the points above. I would like to add that I think it is Huge that this will be the 2nd game of the year versus coming out of the gate in '25. I don't think it can be under estimated the impact of a Test Run for Sark, Arch and the skilled Players on Offense and then of course on Defense Muschamps and Gideon get a Game with The Leader wearing the Green Dot under their Belt. And it all gets to be done at Home! Hook'em!!!

He's a good coach and came from a good stable. The stars aligned for him (and Indiana) with the squad he put together, which led to a natty. I think he might be scary as a coach for a school with deep pockets. Coaching is only a piece of the puzzle, albeit an extremely important one. Having a disciplined squad is the real key, IMHO. Texas adding Coach Muschamp should help us in that area, at least on defense. Arch showed some fire to his team mates in the Michigan game, so let's hope he helps on the offensive side as well.

Is Baker really considered a top 3 tackle or is this just ESPN hyping a name they know? @Gerry Hamilton Wasn't the breakout player of the year supposed to be Spencer Shannon according to ESPN?

🐀☠️❗

Have fun with this one AI creators .. this ought to spicen up the thread

Texas isn’t looking for prospects - unless he’s coming for depth. If the kid doesn’t have double digit starts he’s not our answer.

Or Oregon Ducks suits😆

Probably, but make him think about it.

You know what they say: adapt or die.

Didn't someone report that if he went in, it would more than likely be LSU?

Time for me to dust off the ole shotgun and do some duck hunting.😁

Some of you guys' art work is fantastic! It's gonna be boring as heck once this is all over.

Call me crazy… but I think Texas makes a statement in this game and sark leaves no doubt. The plus side to this is the fact we get a game to get our feet wet instead of just walking into the fire right out of the gate. Way too early prediction is 35-17

Go get him - I’d have Collin Simmons on the call from first contact.

Ohio State’s defense was gutted by graduations and early NFL entries. They lose 7 starters, including 4 NFL first rounders…and all 4 played in the middle of the defense (Caleb Downs, Arvell Reese, S.Styles, and K. McDonald). Add losing both starting CBs, and one can see Arch / Cam / Wingo doing a lot of damage and scoring a bunch of points. On the flip side, Ohio State returns 8 starters on offense, including 4 OL. They have Sayin, J.Smith, and Bo Jackson as headliners at the skill positions (but also lose Carnell Tate and Max Klare). They will score some points on our defense too. Take the over. Texas wins 38-24.

Thus the “way too early”. in the title.
