WestlakeLonghorn Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Is this just another money grab? Even though DT is a huge need - is this kid fully bought into being a football player and more importantly hood team player? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they have some back door deal already set up for the portal window opening with another stud dt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watty7796 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Texas skipped him last year, I can't imagine they'd go after him this year. Culture is a high priority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thought is that he is probably not a culture fit. My 2nd thought is it might be a good challenge for Kenny Baker. If he can get Bear buying in and playing well, it would speak highly of him as a coach. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justwinbaby Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Bear was going to get coached up by a coach who coached up Aaron Donald, hmm. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bourbasted Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Not succeeding at USC doesn't bother me much, as I don't think LR has a culture that inspires guys to be better than what they show up as. Not succeeding at Georgia is a different story, although he was young. It could be all the moving around as a young man added to the attitude. Maybe he's ready to find a home in a good culture and be developed. If he does end up here and buys into what Sark & crew are selling, he could up his draft stock considerably one would think. Quick note on Bobby's comment on how they could afford not to chase the last time he entered the portal. I know we need big humans at DT who can stuff the run, but I don't think we need it so bad we have to chase someone who may become a cancer in the locker room. I'd rather work with the guys we have and roll the dice in that scenario. If they can make it work, great, the kid has all the tools. I trust the staff to make the call. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentonhorn Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 You guys know more about his personality than I do. All I know is he tends to move around. While that bothers me personally I am not sure that in this day and age that is an indication of a culture issue in and of itself. We need help and he has the ability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens this time is that if they take this idiot, I will purposefully get blitzed out of my gourd at the TOF function in May and then projectile vomit in the general direction of both Kenny Baker and Steve Sarkisian. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
