CoachBobbyFinstock Posted June 21, 2024 Posted June 21, 2024 Russell and an Aggy QB got 3rd on the last day. All ahead of Lacey…interesting. Quote

I think we all have faith in Sark, I know I do, just wish someone had balls to ask him why he thinks at QB position it's necessary to offer kids before their Jr and Sr evals. Would like to hear the answer. With a current 3 deep better than the Denver Broncos, I could care less who we are taking that may or may not play in 5-6 years... That and it really seems like Russell is going to bite us similar to Mack not taking Luck, RG3, and Manziel. I can already see the interviews when Bama wins a title, "Texas was my dream school but"...... 2 Quote

I myself am a fan of Texas but I never attended the school nor played for it. Just like to cheer them on. I’m not paid the big bucks to make any decisions either. I think some fans have ptsd from the last two coaching staffs 🤷🏻♂️ Edited June 21, 2024 by Shane 3 1 Quote

Sark has to be going over film and getting him ready to come into his program to possibly be handed the keys to his offense (also AJ Milwee as well) 1 Quote
Moderators CJ Vogel Posted June 21, 2024 Moderators Posted June 21, 2024 KJ Lacey finished in the top 11 for the Elite 11 competition. 3 Quote

SamuraiKnight Posted June 21, 2024 Posted June 21, 2024 It seems like Keelon Russell will be a great quarterback. He is from the state of Texas. And H seemed to want to be at Texas. All that on the surface could make this feel like a miss. The question becomes was he going to be willing to sit for 2-3 years? You're Elite 11 MVP and you don't see the field until after Arch and maybe Trey Owens? Do you stay? Will be the same question for KJ, but maybe the loyalty matters a bit. Quote

Aren’t Klubnik and Jackson Arnold Elite 11 Champions? Are we not including them in the “recruiting misses” that Texas has had. I’m happy with Ewers, Arch, and will be if KJ Lacey remains with us. For the record Klubnik, Arnold, and now Russell have placed higher than Texas QBs that were in the same competition. Chill. 2 Quote

I just think it will be fascinating to watch. I also think this is slightly different in that Arch didn't participate in Elite 11, and Sark recruited Ewers as a transfer. This feels like the first time we have a chance to witness Sark having 2 high level options who both want to come to Texas and Sark having to make a decision that we get to watch. I like KJ. And Dia Bell vs Troy Huhn will also be something we get to see. The big difference here is Keelon is from Texas. From Duncanville. I just think it's interesting. You kinda wonder if KJ wasn't already committed, who Sark would have pushed for. Quote
Class of 04 Posted June 22, 2024 Posted June 22, 2024 My thoughts are barring injury or transfer we have Ewers for '24, Arch '25-'26, Owens '27-'28 and those are just the presumed starters. So there is a lot of things that can transpire between now and '29. I feel confident Sark has a handle on the situation and with the portal I believe it's gonna be a long while before QB becomes a position of concern. Quote
Bobbers Posted June 22, 2024 Posted June 22, 2024 I bet on Ewers, Arch, then Bell. The QB room is the best in the country. Quote
