He is a larger high school lineman. 30 lbs of more muscle and he will be ready.

Yeah 30’feels right. Similar path as Goosby. 

Play around 315-320

JJ looks a little softer coming in than I would’ve expected but Becton will get him right!

Raw Sunshine State kid physically. 

Those kids don't have the set up that Texas and Georgia have. 

Kids tend to blow up (good way) in college in first year.

See my follow-up post. I was not implying that it was his fault or that he was anything other than a hard-working team player. I’m saying Texas fans have some ptsd with the RB position under Sark. But I can see how my phrasing could be interpreted as a criticism of Baxter.

This is true. The last RB we had that made it through a full season under sark was Bijan.

Funny that Kaden looks small when he is about 6’6” and 285 or so.  Becton will indeed beef him up and build up that strength.  Hope he develops into a good OL for us.

Team Notes from the Week

***

First and foremost, a big win from WBB last night over No. 5 LSU at home. 

The top-5 matchup at Moody drew a sold out crowd and some familiar faces. Steve Sarkisian, Trevor Goosby and Colin Simmons were courtside for the game as well. Jonah Williams and many others were in attendance to support the team as well.

Goosby remains in a sling following offseason shoulder surgery, as expected. 

Many of the early enrollees made the short trip over as well – Yaheim Riley and Jamarion Carlton were amongst the group. 

***

Couple of notes on early enrollees:

– Carlton is going to be someone the strength staff molds to their liking this winter. His body type is like wet clay at the moment, there is going to be plenty of growth ahead for him.

– Derrek Cooper looks the part in conditioning. Moves fluidly.

– The frame and physical stature of Smoke Matthews has been impressive. 

***

One week away from first pitch for Texas Baseball as well.

@Jeff Howe, @Blake Munroe and myself will have Bases Loaded filmed soon and it will be published this afternoon.

That’s all you got was updates on 3 players from work outs? 🤦🏽‍♂️🤣
