And it’s been said there are portal guys always to fill spots . The developed 3 star or low 4 star is always cheaper than the open market bidding war you get in the portal. And what noone is talking about. Sarks offense is super complicated. He better change his philosophy to a plug and play system like a Gundy or Leach. These year to year piece together teams will have to learn his complicated offense that others couldn’t learn in 3/4 years.

How many true freshman OL’s look like that as a freshman? Less than 1% of a high school cycle at the position IMO

Looking pretty bleak right now if you ask me.

This is freaking beautiful

I’m mean do you doubt Sark & Harris don’t see the issues at OL. Give them the time remaining and let’s see what happens. I mean they proved last Saturday and through previous HS recruiting classes that they can make magic happen

Tremendous haha

7 offensive linemen? You have to name them…. Or seven that may ride the wood or make the practice team….. who would you rather pay…. A proven or someone who will possibly develop in two years and then test the waters…. spend the money on a proven commodity….. or spend the money developing for two or three years only for them to get a “better” offer and leave

OTF is basically just this scene from Lebowski over and over again ad infinitum. @Joe Zura

Which is all the more reason it's insane to say he was a top pro prospect, which is the comment I was responding to.

He was a freshman...

There is nothing Brooks showed on the actual football field to make him a NFL prospect right now. Does it mean he could eventually be one? Sure. But at some point the high school ranking needs to be placed to the side when we start seeing actual on-field production.

For Texas? Not many after two years

Brooks was considered the top pro prospect, including Goosby.

If you look beyond the top echelon teams-a lot of lower ranked teams have revenue sharing to throw at lower ranked players on higher ranked teams, so the incentive is for the player to go develop and get paid. People forget that most teams have 15+ million to share with their players. This just creates inflation at the top and top tier teams will have to cover that 15+ million “new money” and then what they were already paying. I give this thing three years before legislation takes over and it gets flushed. We better get our natty now.

Elite OL Herry Gamilton @Gerry Hamilton is expected to enter the Transfer Portal, sources have confirmed. Texas is expected to be a heavy player in this recruitment, and is preparing a significant NIL package for Gamilton’s services.

I actually think it speaks to bad evaluations more than anything. Flood’s strategy of recruiting mammoths who can’t move well hasn’t really paid off. Also could speak to poor development. But either way, not one of the departing OL was in any way ready to make a contribution this year and there’s no indication that they’d be any good thereafter. Again, it’s an indictment of Flood’s evaluation and development as much as as anything. That being said, getting dudes to hit on the OL has always been a crapshoot and takes years.

Still waiting on your first embedded post, my friend.

Hard to pay guys second string money when there being offered starter money at other schools and you have a budget

Gracias! 🤘

Ok

A) They didn't lose 7 guys. Check your math. B) We started a player in 2014 who had a nickname centered around the fact that he didn't like contact C) If the locker room is so bad why did all the good players at the position happen to return?

You can also just copy and paste some pics.

This is getting crazy

This is objectively worse than Charlie Strong's OL situation. Sark & Flood have a chance to add more bodies than Strong could, but losing 7 guys in two weeks is a pretty damning indictment of something bad going on in that locker room. It's beyond roster management.
