Shmatt Posted January 10 Posted January 10 I know its game day but any thoughts on this visit? This staff dosent go after o-line portal recruits so im just curious to hear thoughts and opinions. Quote
NothinButDaHorns34 Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Flood must REALLY like him if this is true because i don’t remember one portal offensive lineman visiting us since the portals been a thing. 1 Quote
syracusehorn Posted January 10 Posted January 10 (edited) We could lose 6 guys, including all 5 starters. Having an experienced, starting-caliber player in the room would be good for the team. Edited January 10 by syracusehorn Quote

We could use all the help we can get. 1 1 Quote

Goosby will be all-SEC caliber next year. Baker, Agbo, Cruz, Robertson, and Neto will be ready to go as well. edit- forgot Hutson and Cojoe!! Edited January 10 by Bobbers forgot players 2 Quote
connorkp23 Posted January 10 Posted January 10 I guess everyone just assumes DJ Campbell is leaving but I’m not sure why 1 Quote

Development finally is a thing now at texas along the offensive line. Look for neto to be a stand out as well on the offensive line. 1 Quote

But I do know that Hutson has looked average at best when he’s played this year and he has consistently graded out horribly. I’ve liked Conner Robertson when he’s come in for Majors, so not worried there. But the consistent knock against both Campbell and Neto (behind the scenes) has been mediocre pass pro. So, you’re right—I don’t know any more than you do what the line will look like next year. But I also know that Flood has been very hesitant to use the portal, so it’s extremely telling that he is bringing this guy in. Quote
wb1076 Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Could mean someone else, besides the guys that will be drafted, is leaving that we are unaware of 🤷♂️ Quote

I think that is very fair, but this USC kid is a take in the portal no matter what your line looks like. 1 Quote
Bobby Burton Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Let’s see what happens this weekend and how serious Texas decides to get. It might depend on who decides to go pro and who doesn’t. 2 Quote

CoachBobbyFinstock Posted January 11 Posted January 11 (edited) Texas needs to do whatever It takes. When you don’t run the ball at the 1, you better get a group that you do trust to be physical. Edited January 11 by CoachBobbyFinstock 4 Quote

Majors and connor in particular aren’t people movers. 2 Quote

Seems like this young man is taking lots of visits. Must be nice to be in such demand. Could be helpful if it all worked out. Any word on why he's leaving SC? Quote

No knock on Trey and Blue but Sark expected to run inside zone and RPO off of that. Very rarely did we get more than what was blocked for. 1 Quote
Bobby Burton Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Cam Williams played hurt on Friday. He played really well this season overall. 9 Quote
Thanos72 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 I think we had individuals play well but not remotely a cohesive and well orchestrated unit. Especially against elite teams. Quote

It’s part of the reason Texas struggled on short yardage and goal line situations. Quote

Very rarely did we get more than what was blocked for. None of consequence. Those were against teams that it shouldn’t have been close enough to need an 8 minute drive to seal it. Too many close games for the supposed talent we had. Backs are almost only as good as the line that blocks for them. Early contact often for both backs this year. Maybe you were spoiled by Bijan and his miss making mastery. An elite line adjusts to any scheme. I’m a huge Sark fan but other than recruiting, Floor underperformed the last 2 years. Hopefully he turns it up. We’ll need it. Quote

I also think while Hutson would be the shoe in for the starting position, don't discount Cruz. That kid has a mean streak in him and I think will push for playing time. Hutson has kind of stagnated a bit since his Fr season, whether due to injury or not, I'm not sure. Personally if you bring in this Pregnon guy from USC, I think without a doubt that Neto Umeozulu will transfer. Edited January 13 by AusMOJO Quote
