Starting line up for me looks like ... Goosby-Umeozulu-Hutson-Campbell-Baker

That was the best group in the spring. OL6 and OL7 appear to be Nate Kibble and one of Nick Brooks or Andre Cojoe at tackle.

30-35 per game feels right for now. 

Jermayne Lole averaged 29 last year. Even with a crowded room this fall, I can't see January not taking on a much more involved role.

Is Colton Vasek back and going through team workouts?

Vasek is without any braces/slings/casts etc. A positive sign.

Toward the end of the spring I had heard he was nearing a full return and he has been on the field to begin the summer conditioning this week, yes.

What road trips are you doing this year? Unless you do them all. I'm planning for Kentucky so I can check out Keeneland since I'm a big horse racing guy and hopefully the swamp if my wallet allows.

Hopefully all of them, I was beginning to book travel for some last night. 

Detours to Oak Lawn are always one of my favorite things to do when traveling up to Fayetteville. Asmussen's son was one of my good buddies in college.

How much more improved will the 2026 Texas Baseball team be in your opinion based on what you’ve heard about potential portal pieces we’re going after? (Yes I know you can’t name them but give us a hint please 😂🤘) 

 

[McCoy2Shipley]

Rank these road games in term of most difficult to win:

tOSU, UF, UGA

[Bewarre]

What are some of the behind-the-scenes stories from last year's recruiting cycle that you can share now that everyone is committed and on campus somewhere.  We always hear that there will be this post mortum after signing day but that never seems to really happen unless I just missed it.

The lineup should be deeper, with hopefully more of an ability to put the ball in play.

Really, I am more intrigued in the bullpen. I think there are some really talented arms that will be in play for Texas after they have already expressed interest in. Especially from the left side.

One of my favorite recurring conversations was with Devin Sanchez during his recruitment. I would see him at various different locations, 7v7 tournaments, State Track meets, etc. Sanchez would always keep the same approach for questions about Texas – "Yeah, we'll see." was basically his message. Sanchez silently committed to Ohio State after visiting in November and publicly made the decision in January of 2024. It was rumored that Texas was going to go all the way back in for Sanchez towards the back end of the spring, and they did. Sanchez told me at the State Track Meet in April that there was no shot he was going to visit Texas again before signing – and he held firm on that. Texas eventually circled back to North Shore, literally, via helicopter with Steve Sarkisian and Terry Joseph, but the five-star cornerback never had interest in rethinking his commitment. 

Sanchez was the first to tell me Ohio State would land Riley Pettijohn, and at the time, he told me the Buckeyes were going to land Dakorien Moore as well. tOSU went 1-2 in those recruitments.

In your opinion, do we get a top 3 class recruiting class in football this next signing day?

tOSU, Florida, Georgia.

I am probably wrong on the UF/UGA order, but I think the ability of a healthy DJ Lagway will be significantly more challenging than the offensive makeup of Georgia.

Yes I believe that to be the case.

[Gerry Hamilton]

Yes, Blake is muted 

[OsasTheDestroyer]

I've been wondering if UF will be tougher honestly. I think there's a good chance it will be a night game too
