syracusehorn Posted January 10 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could use all the help we can get. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wb1076 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Could mean someone else, besides the guys that will be drafted, is leaving that we are unaware of 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Burton Posted January 11 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachBobbyFinstock Posted January 11 Share 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.

Majors and connor in particular aren’t people movers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanos72 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I think we had individuals play well but not remotely a cohesive and well orchestrated unit. Especially against elite teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s part of the reason Texas struggled on short yardage and goal line situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
