Is he a D. Sanchez level player?

Think it was a lot to with his brother … which is an extension of him, and is seen as negative to him … which is understandable

Yall are doing a fantastic job at covering all things UT. This is definitely the best site for UT info out there 🤘

My favorite is probably JayQuan Snell, but I don't think that one is going to happen.

John Meredith III at North Crowley. On the OL, two of Camara, Swanson and Miller is a very strong in-state haul as well.

On top of that who is your favorite on 27 if they are different

Kyle Flood completely changed the OL dynamic at Texas from a national joke that hadn’t had a first-round draft pick for 20 years into a team strength by 2024. The 2024 line wasn’t perfect but it was one of the best in the country and to say otherwise is to be blinded by confirmation bias. He developed Christian Jones from a terrible waste of talent who could barely walk straight into an NFL player. He developed Goosby from a skinny basketball player into a likely top-15 draft pick. The whole country was laughing at Kelvin Banks after his all-star camp performance his senior year, but look at what he became. Jake Majors and Hayden Conner got so much crap from Texas fans, but under Flood they became NFL players. His recruiting has been up and down, no doubt. It’s insane that the cupboard was so bare last year. But that’s every bit on Sark and his roster management as it is on Flood. Flood’s IOL development has not been great, but I think that’s as much a problem with the “large humans” philosophy as anything. And recruiting massive linemen who can’t move was fully a Sark-endorsed idea. As bad as the line was to start last year, the job Flood did to turn it into a solid unit to end the year does not get enough credit. Has he made mistakes? Absolutely. I still think the reliance on unproven young players last year was inexcusable. But yall are going to run the man out of town, and we are just going to have to live with the results. But be careful what you wish for.

Clearly all Sark’s fault. Flood does no wrong. 😉

Texas parked itself at the top of the offensive line market and never really came down. When true difference makers didn’t enter or agents couldn’t get deals across the finish line, the staff chose to keep aiming high instead of pivoting to what was readily available. That wasn’t disorganization, it was intentional. But intentional bets still have consequences. The interior OL market was thin from the jump, home programs did a solid job holding their ground.

It’s might be to early in the cycle to ask but who is your must get recruit

"Isn't their whole O line gone?" -> I think you answered your own question.

Starting a new hate flood thread i see.

Just go post in one of the other 500 threads started about it. That’s the problem. We don’t need 5 new threads a day started on this topic.

Listen I hear you. But this is a message board, this isn’t the Texas board of Regents, we can bring these topics to the attention of this site for a reason. Flood is a Cristobal leaving for Miami situation away (how we actually got Banks) from being a certified bank robber of UT funds as an employee

Wut? Aggy is not making the playoffs this season..

It appears Sark is taking the NFL roster approach. I doubt we ever get to 100 scholarships.

I'm not giving up on Texas men's basketball just because they're a football first school. There are too many football schools that have made Final Fours and won natties for me to believe Texas can't be good at men's basketball. Likewise, we just saw a basketball school win a natty in football. That showed me right there in the NIL + Rev Share + Transfer Portal era that your past history is irrelevant to today's version of college athletics. I'm not expecting the program to ever be a Duke or UConn but be a Florida, Michigan, Houston, etc. Programs like that are obviously football first but have had really good basketball teams at times over the course of their history. Look at Nebraska basketball this season. Obviously not a basketball school, but Fred Hoiberg has done a great job of turning that program around. We'll see if he can get them to the Elite Eight or better in a few months. Texas can do this. I believe in Sean Miller and CDC.

Flood? Never heard of him.

I hope these threads start getting nuked. Yall are beating the dead horse so much that the horse might just pull a Frankenstein’s monster and wake up…ridiculous.

Has any coach since Sark coming to Austin underperformed more and continued to stay? We had the Pancake Factory that was the only result in us getting the only good OL haul that still couldn’t really run block. We just missed out on a year with Arch purely because of the oline. Biggest portal need? Oline. Everyone talked all year how interior OL will be easy to come by in the portal. Here we are with absolutely no viable picture next year at interior OL, even Vogel said it. The most needed position got graded a C- by mods here. We run out PK but still employ Flood is something that blows my mind

Johnny Nansen in Prosper on Thursday AM

ESPN has TAMU as the 6th seed and Texas as the 10th seed in the 2026 playoff projections. How exactly do they envision TAMU having that success? Isn't their whole O line gone?
