That's where I am with it. Just because a kid chooses elsewhere, it doesn't mean he's trash. The immaturity in some of us comes out when things don’t go our way.... and that's sad.

Great comparison; that's exactly the route they're taking now.

Also in a tough spot with RB because two of the potential “pleasant surprises” to buoy our returns are too speculative to factor now. What if we get surprising seasons, say 500 yards plus, from guys like Christian Clark or James Simon? Y’all have been outspoken on the positive Simon chatter, but who ranks that unit highly based on an unproven 18 year old?

@Bobby Burton is killing it in the mega hat lol

2025 MPA Registration answered my own question.

That is a pretty impressive list. What is the format of this camp? Is it for high school quarterbacks and college quarterbacks? Is it put on by Eli?

Playing devil’s advocate, I would argue TE is the weakest. Something has to be said about not a single player in the room having a catch here at Texas

I like it!

Who else would be last? Again, I don’t believe the room is bad. I just don’t have an argument for it over any other room on the roster currently.

I ended up at a great seafood spot last year after one of the longest days I’ve ever had during the MPA 2024. Going to try to hit it again this year

I think Arch changes the dynamics of the run game a lot for the exact reason you stated. They will have to respect the fact that he can and will hurt them.

Not sure about Thibodaux, but Lafayette has some great cajun food. I am guessing Thibodaux does too.

RB at last is wild. We have the best RB duo besides Ohio State. Yea we didnt have a 5 star running back on the field last year because Baxter (#1 rb in his class) was out for the season. Wisner also dropped 1,064 yards without getting above 10 carries until game 4. If you gave that man 18 carries against Colorado state and UTSA he would wave been at 1300 minimum. and he only got four touches against florida. We are going to have an elite backfield, i dont know what you mean ranking it as our last position groups.

I tell ya, the Cajun Dome could use a face lift lol I really do like Louisiana. New Orleans, Lafayette, Thibodeaux/Houma where the camp is. I've not spent a lot of time in Baton Rouge before but for the most part I have really enjoyed my trips to The Boot.

Closer to DeAndre Moore for me But I can see people saying Greathouse. He's got a thicker frame

Practice field off to the side.

First, a stop in Lafayette. Freshly constructed press box and home sideline for the Ragin’ Cajuns. Looks great.

OTF is headed to Louisiana for the 2025 Manning Passing Academy this weekend. Arch Manning will represent Texas and we will have updates throughout the week of his performance and media availabilities. Will have the thread updated during my time in Thibodeaux, Louisiana!

We were traveling all day yesterday, so not sure if this video was already posted. I didn’t see it on OTF. Thinking every player being recruited by Texas and their parents needs (yes, I’m sending this to the Crowell family with love 🧡) to watch this entire interview between Sark and several Longhorn greats. Between academics, team GpA up 3.31, Forbes tabbed UT as Ivy League of the South, true NIL earning potential (beyond the initial contract), long-term career opportunities in Austin after the NFL, player development, culture, NFL stock, winning championships, offensive scheme, creating his own legacy, playing with Manning, Lacey and Bell at QB, having Sark as your HC and OC, living in Austin, etc. So many reasons why UT, Austin and this coaching staff under Sark is the place for elite talent to be. Hook em!! 🧡🤘🏼🐂

Is Jaden Greathouse a comp to Kaydon Finley? Wanted to get yall’s thoughts.

Wisner is a really good college back. He will be RB1 this fall when Texas kicks off against Ohio State. Gibson, in theory, should be better. Ball security and trust was a clear issue a year ago. RB is the only position on the roster for 2025, that did not have a 5-star or All-Conference player on the field in 2024.

Awesome! So much attention this summer by some to lack of elite talent we’ve locked in to 2026 class on offense but in reality, it all starts with having QB1. Hook em! 🧡🐂🤘🏼

I know internally at 247, the Rivals rankings were taken with a large grain of salt. On3 and 247 have a better feel for rankings than Rivals or ESPN. The NFL draft should continue to prove that to be the case.
