I believe it would be a good take, Cunningham may not end up a linebacker and Okpala may end up more of Trey Moore or Brad Spence role. Not a lot of true linebackers.

I remain intrigued by the market for USC LB Matai Tagoa'i. Was someone Texas liked out of high school, but fits more of the developmental category than instant impact. He was listed at 6-4, 205 lbs on USC's official roster. On top of that, he only saw 35 snaps. But he had 25 offers in HS and was ranked as a top 100 player in the class.

Sacks and interceptions are numbers 😉

So what? 2 LT out of 2 going 1st round is bad? Baker might be a first round if he keeps improving, cam williams would've been a first round if he stayed one more year... Get real dude Flood knows how to teach the tackle position. Also the thing about 5 stars working out and getting drafted 1st round shouldn't be a bad thing lol

He was carried by Skattebo last year. Had a solid game against Tech this year where they lost their QB and they were able to control the clock. Showed his backside when the going got tough and eventually quit on his team. Perfect fit for Kiffin and LSU.

I'm not a Leavitt fan. But any quarterback with a capable arm should put up big numbers in Kiffin's offense.

Not sold on him like our boy Gerry I think he is overrated also he has a bad attitude watched a few games last year and he would throw a fit on the field when something would go his way. Poor leader so fits lane perfectly

Downside of having ex head coaches “assist” you for a year until they get their next head coaching job. They get to learn from your operation and poach from within. Seems like hiring the wrong analyst can do long term harm to your program.

I'm not sold on Leavitt. His season derailed with a lisfranc injury requiring season-ending surgery. That injury requires a lot of healing (~6mo or more) meaning he may miss spring ball too. Part of his game is his mobility and this injury directly affects that. Plus, defenses in the SEC are a completely different animal. That's a lot of money to gamble on a maybe.

Is there any interest in Josh Atkins from ASU?

Hasn’t Kyle Flood only had like 2 left tackles the entire time he’s been here? Lol And one of those dudes was a prodigy

Maybe. But chambliss also is trying to gain another year of eligibility. May or may not get it

Looks like Kiffin is going to start pissing away that $25 million NIL budget right away.

be careful what you wish for... Flood has had some problems in the interior but his tackles have always been top notch. Grass isn't always greener.

The way to have responded and carried yourself on this thread is unfortunate. whether you realize it or not your attitude does more to potentially undermine your own stated goal of maintaining a community around Texas football than someone making a harmless joke. Nevertheless, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt because oftentimes we can misunderstand each other when communicating electronically instead of in person.

Exactly

Chambliss is a better QB than Levitt.

Yeah it’s hard to fail in the Kiffin offense. But you could find much better QBs that will most likely come at a cheaper price tag than Leavitt.

It would be such a shame if Neal Brown took away Flood as his OC. Please dont do it Brown!

He’s gonna have more than just 1 playmaker around him at LSU. I think he will do well under kiffin. I mean look at Trinidad chambliss

Whew thankfully someone said it... Not worried at all about playing Levitt next year. Playmaker? Sure, but we've faced better playmakers this year already.

Whoa on Yurachek! Wait a moment. I am not giving him a pass. HOWEVER: The decisions were made by the "committee". Yurachek is just the voice. Let's face it. If Texas played everyone in the playoffs, they would be favored against all but 3 teams.....the top 3. ND would be favored only vs. the current bottom 2-3 teams. Miami is probably a split right down the middle. Frankly, allowing teams from non-power-four conferences in the tournament, is what screwed the thing up. Now that ND has been "offended" maybe there will be enough outcry to have a playoff with the 12 best teams (16 team with no byes like the other levels is a better format).

Incredibly overrated and said this last year. Backyard QB who relied on Skattebo and couldn’t read a defense. Granted it’s hard to fail in Kiffin’s offense but they could do much better.

True, but as said in other posts, scout team needs to evaluate for a fit here. Fingers crossed.

This is spot on. Every NFL draft we see players taken from DII and DIII schools (and lower) that flourish. Scouts spot the potential.
