  1. I'm one of those guys who doesn't think people have to explain themselves to anyone if they want to un-retire. My dad did it several times through the years for special projects. Old friends called and off he went. There's no need to label retirement as the end. It can just be putting a pause on your career these days. It's all up to the individual and what they want out of life.
  2. While most people think of the West Coast, Hawaii and Utah when it comes to Poly players, there are some in Texas as well. It used to be in the Euless area at Euless Trinity. But that is changing with the times. There's a junior DL out of Bastrop, Tiki Hola. He is a definite target, too.
  3. Cal McNair would absolutely love that.
  4. He didn’t spend anything in ‘22. But alums? That’s a different story.
  5. We moved the Livestream to 6:15pm from 7pm tonight to accommodate for the NFC championship game. https://youtube.com/live/D5rpPqM0_7w

  6. Hope it’s not serious but a little concerned. It looked like non-contact.
  7. Chiefs fail on 4th down in Ravens territory. 14-7 Chiefs in the 2nd.
  8. Can't read too much into this. Texas didn't push for either of those players. Not that that matters all that much other than it doesn't effect the Texas board. Still, the players can still be good even if Texas isn't prioritizing them.
  9. No, they're not without talent. But they don't have two returning starters. They recruited him to start. Texas recruited him to compete. There's a difference. Not saying which one is right, but the two teams see their corner spots differently is all.
  10. I also think Texas may start to push a bit more for Granville, who was at OU this weekend.
  11. Two commitments for A&M from the weekend. - LB Riggins from Forney can really run. Undersized but I like him a lot. - Pettaway is a solid player. His older brother is already on the team at A&M.
  12. All good questions. We'll see what Rod has to say. My overarching take is more about run offense generally, not just in two back sets. Run defense and run offense are the two biggest changes in moving to the SEC IMO.
  13. With Jabbar Muhammad opting for Oregon, Michigan players staying put (for now), it’s time to look a little deeper at recruiting for the Horns in 2025. I start with CB recruiting given the news yesterday of Jaboree Antoine heading to LSU.

  15. Fair question. I don’t know the answer. We’ll ask.
  16. Versatility is absolutely what it is. Couple of thoughts: - A question I have though is what is their big personnel? They have to insert Agbo because I don’t think Niblack is that sort of in-line presence. That is somewhat limiting even with Helm returning. Not anything major but something to consider. - SEC teams are notoriously better in their front seven than other leagues. How does that affect what Sark can do, especially from the two-back look? Even with a more experienced OL, it’s a different convo trying to run on those teams.
  17. I don’t see Hayden as a liability. I see him as a pretty good guard. The question is, can he be improved upon? I also don’t think an offensive lineman really starts peaking until their 4th or 5th year in college (and that includes Kelvin Banks). We’d be giving up early on Neto with that beginning of year three assessment and maybe on Hayden, too
  18. He was. He was the final five minute guy from a clock perspective.
  19. They both can stand up or put their hand in the dirt to give an offense different looks. They have a third linebacker spot in case they want to give more of a dime look these days or play lighter in the box. It’s not a starting position IMO because Texas, and just about everyone else in CFB, plays a base nickel. A 4-2-5 or as Texas likes to call it a 2-4-5.
  20. Sorrell is the strong-side end, Burke the weak-side. They play the weak typically into the boundary. It’s all nomenclature.
  21. That’s a little bit of what I’m thinking. That’s not just one of the elite guys off the board at the position, it’s two. By no means is it time to panic, but it is something to be aware of.
  22. Brooks was the team’s best corner in 2023 by a clear number. Only 44-percent of attempts to his man were completed. No, he’s not perfect. But no corner is these days. Jabbar Muhammad allowed in the 60s range by comparison.
  23. I could care less about Horns Down. I thought BYU officials are the ones who banned it, not Texas. For the love of all that is holy, I hope Texas didn't get offended by that.
