drag worm Posted Friday at 04:18 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:18 PM (edited) Ideally this team needs a few more veterans around Arch in his first year as QB1. Never seen a team with only two seniors on the entire offensive roster. Given that Quinn had X, AD, Golden and Bond (when healthy) around him I’d expect that Sark must have his sites on a seasoned veteran WR1 for the Arch era. RB1 would also be a nice add as even if Baxter comes back a 16 game season is a heavy burden for any back and this roster seems to lack a true speed / power combo like we saw from Georgia and Ohio State in our only losses this year. Beyond that, DJ staying might have helped us on the interior of the OL but another upper class man add at C or guard wouldn’t hurt there. And then on the other side of the ball DT continues to be a priority need IMO. When the portal first opened Bobby and Gerry mentioned that Texas could use as many as four DT adds with one or two being “elite.” The two we have seem like seasoned depth but neither has produced at the level that I would call elite. Much like WR it feels like you get one more SEC caliber dude in this room and the rest of them all fall into place much better. It’ll be interesting to see what moves if any we make in the Spring Portal window. It’s probably a two game win/loss swing if we can get some more veterans into these key positions around Arch. Hook’em! Edited Friday at 04:19 PM by drag worm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Kingsley Posted Friday at 04:47 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:47 PM I doubt we go after a RB1, but think we need to add someone to the room. Can see us taking 1 WR and 1 TE. 1-2 DTs, maybe a veteran CB similar to Gavin Holmes? And a PK? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBHORNSFAN Posted Friday at 04:54 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:54 PM Not worried at all. Sark has proven he knows what he needs to do. It has been a very long time since I trusted a coach at Texas. Sark has mine. With that said I am sure there will be a ton of pants pissing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the field, Sark is currently the best HC in college football IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust this staff to pick the best options to round out the roster, but it could be that the options presented only allow you to hit a double when you need a homerun. I am at least comforted that we won’t foul tip strike two into our crotch and then whiff on strike three in the portal like FSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not taking it for granted that we’ll be able to. Im a bit leery about the spring window because that is usually guys who waited to see how spring ball would shake out to jump, or decide if they like a new staff. That may or may not be the real dudes needed at DT and WR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AusMOJO Posted Friday at 10:51 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:51 PM Another upperclassman inside? Hutson and Umeozulu are both going to be Sr's, no? So you'll have 3 Sr's on the interior, a Soph and RS Soph at the T's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's getting a bit arrogant, lol. There was several speedsters in the portal who were more than worth taking a look at. Unfortunately, I think time was split with the playoffs and trying to fill holes that you know you will need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Richardson Posted Saturday at 01:36 PM Share Posted Saturday at 01:36 PM Why not consider a backup QB with some experience. Our current backup looks talented but is not ready to start 3-4 games in the SEC if Arch is injured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah….if the Shaw/Brevard combo proves to be strong and veteran….January/Hills combo shows great promise….and 2 of the Sharma/Charles/Terry threesome look like they might contribute like January did last year….i’m gonna be feeling better coming outta Spring! Also at 280-290, I could see the Jackson/Terry combo on the interior in our NASCAR package! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
