It's a fine answer, and maybe I'm just irritable today, but I kind of wish any question about "oh noes how are you gonna be ready for the big bad SEC" should be answered with something like "Well we beat the SEC champs in their house last year by double digits. How about you ask the SEC how they are gonna be ready for Texas." 

Bc that’s the type of joe tessitore stuff that made Texas a laughing stock . Most recent example would be the “we’re back” from ehlinger

Patience he is only a redshirt freshman, DT development takes time

This is correct, it took Coburn, Sweat, and Murphy 4 years to become quality contributors.

What's up with Sydir?

I guess people have forgot they've been telling us there's something medically wrong with sydir not injury. Could be something seriously wrong there we don't know about

Calling people with a different opinion than your own a "troll" is weak and lazy as a forum tactic.

Texas is currently 4-5 guys over the 85 man number for August. Texas is interested in multiple roles from the portal, so the number will go up by 2-3 more including a punter. There is about to be attrition in the range of 6-10 guys leaving the program. 

Anyone can leave, but prime candidates have some or all of the following traits:

1) Far from home

2) Helicopter parent

3) Running 3rd string or worse as a 1st or 2nd year player, running 2nd string or worse as a 3rd or 4th year player. Usually hasn't made a dent in the 2 deep.

4) In the doghouse with the staff

5) Potentially significant and career limiting underlying medical issue

There is one player on the roster that checks all of those boxes and only one.

Maybe Mitchell sticks around, but if you guys don't understand that he's a prime departure risk, you either haven't been paying attention or you are too naive to understand how things work in the portal + NIL era. Either way, you're taking an uninformed position and then howling at others that they're trolls. That's Dunning Kruger in real time. 

Helicopter parent?
