That's an interesting sentence structure you've chosen there, sir.

I'd love to see Cryer come back, though I'd honestly be surprised if he didn't.

Kyle Flood!

Who would be the most successful of these three potential hires: Jason Witten as OC @ Oklahoma, RGIII as HC at Baylor, or Philip Rivers as HC @ NC State?

I think so. Texas can spend the football money better. Williams has never had enough healthy/football time to worth the spend

Leverage like Kamario Taylor $7.5 mil leverage? 😄

Time for him to just go baseball?

Littleton is a must .. yes! And he will have leverage

My must-keeps would be Bishop, Geffrard, Cryer, Littleton, Cooper and hopefully Biles. That's a pretty good foundation to build around. But I think the bigger question is who we bring in through the portal. We desperately need help on the interior offensive line, another impact receiver and some help on the defensive front. Keeping your talent is important, but we also need proven players who can make an immediate difference. I'm tired of hearing about how much potential everybody has. At some point, potential has to turn into production. We can't keep building a five-star house on a two-star foundation! 😂

Pretty hard to be a Texas Letterman at that size but sure.

Gideon is solidly in Austin Baker will eventually be back in the NFL IMO .. he as coveted as anyone on the staff.

He's expected back, but it changes the way they play. They had planned to go from Karaban to Khameniaban .. they don't have thatt play to replace that spot. What will be interesting is their non-con now ... it's was brutal. Have Ohio State, at Arizona, Duke, Illinois, Kansas and Virginia still remaining How will the committee treat them come selection Sunday, should he come back the last portion of Big East play? Not that they are in danger of not making a 76 team field, but from, a seeding standpoint ... because Texas without Mikey Lewis (and a couple of others) could have a beef if it's beneficial to UConn

I think Arch comes back. Who knows if KJ can get the job done better. I’ve heard Bobby says arch is having a sophomore year…. So maybe he comes back and kills it regardless I’d love to have him back

Working fine for me

Texas is showing interest

Zina Umeozulu is a name that hasn’t been brought up a ton. Not sure how much a choice he will have NFL wise, but retention on the edge is key. Even with Richard Wesley’s expected step forward.

Most obvious export candidates to me: Kaliq Lockett, KJ Lacey (pending Arch decision), Jonah Williams, Zelus Hicks, Chris Stewart, Justus Terry, Tyler Atkinson, Xavier Filsaime, Daylan McCutcheon, Hayward Howard, JJR, Wardell Mack, James Simon, Myron Charles, Jonathan Cunningham, Smith Orogbo, James Johnson. You probably want to keep some/all of the DL guys. There are some senior export candidates but not sure who has eligibility left. Could see some guys like Kobe Black (return to CB) and MT3 (bigger role) test the portal waters.

Taking a different approach and going with Blake Gideon, Kenny Baker, LaAllan Clark and Juluke. I don't know the coaching world and if/what they would leave for but pay these guys. Didn't include Mushchamp bc he ain't leaving. Blake was huge getting back imo.

I feel like parents look at the development of quarterbacks at Texas and how Sarkisian prepares them for success in the NFL, and they can't help but be impressed. I know I am. First Ewers and now Manning. What is there not to like?

The difference is there wasn't a real place for Parra and we won a national championship with her on the bench in back to back years. Texas won a national championship with Swindle as the setter, brought in someone to replace her. The team had one of the worst seasons they've had in 20+ years, with obvious chemistry issues. They bring her back as the starter. The team earns a #1 seed as a regional host, loses 4 times the entire year, including in the Elite Eight. Elliott once again decides to go in a different direction. The team has its worst start in Elliott's tenure. They're currently battling to earn a subregional host. It all depends on how they do in the tournament, but the longest Sweet 16 streak in college volleyball is at legitimate risk right now. I don't think anyone who watches her thinks Swindle is the best setter around, but her teams figure out how to win. There were several inspiring come from behind victories both her freshman season and her junior season with her as the starter. She is always the most fiery player on the court. She's not a liability in the front row the way Carlson was or both Binney and Harris are. All offseason I thought it was a major mistake to go to the 6-2, and the season's results have borne that out. There's no telling if the outcome would have been different if Swindle had remained the starter the entire time, but there's certainly a correlation between her being the starter, her being replaced as the starter, and on court results. As far as Parra is concerned, Elliott really shouldn't recruit undersized pins. He doesn't play them. He's too much of a wizard at bringing in outstanding pins from high school and the portal who happen to be 6-2 and above. Victoria Pilar was another one who went on to do amazing things after transferring to Arkansas. Parra was a legitimate All American who ended up at the one place in the country where there were better options ahead of her. She was way better off at TCU.

Hasn't been mentioned yet but I hope like heck we're able to hang onto Dia Bell. That young man's potential looks sky high

I can’t see a world where Cooper is offered more money. He hasn’t played much this year. I wouldn’t be surprised if he enters the portal.

We have dead money on our OL coach but I’m sure he will get another raise at the end of the year for back to back years or crappy OL play
