Yes. Any QB in the pipeline is a loss IMO. Until you get enough on campus, as with Arch vis-a-vis Maalik post-regular season, then every QB matters.

I gotta say, part of me really loves Jim Harbaugh. ”He’s gonna Jim Rockford it.” Who even says that, who even remembers that these days?

All you should have to do for embed is to push enter AFTER the last part of the URL. Leaving UCLA to be a pro coordinator would be shocking.

I’ll speak to this. You’re right. Who recruited a player did matter back then. There was no HUDL or universal access to film. But if coaches I knew thought a player was very good BEFORE that player was going to a certain school, then that absolutely mattered to me. Remember, this was at a time when most of the commitments happened in December and January of a prospects senior year. Not 7-8 months before signing day, but just a week or two before signing day. For example, Dick Tomey or one of his staff at Arizona, would tell me the best players in Hawaii every year after spring evaluation. It didn’t make a hill of beans if those players were going to Arizona or not because they’d barely even begun recruiting them. Arizona didn’t care about recruiting rankings and the staff knew all the other teams knew the same players they did. But then recruiting became a bigger game with more exposure. And more teams started recruiting everywhere instead of just locally. And so coaches would start to become more cagy with their info and worse they would start promoting only the players they thought they were going to sign. Notre Dame was like that and I called them on it when I could. Tom Lemming fed that Notre Dame beast. Then came the Nike camps in the mid 90s. I went to every Nike camp. But too many players didn’t show up, or areas of the country were left uncovered. So first came the increased exposure and meaningfulness of recruiting media, then came the proliferation of the camps with legit height, weight and 40, and then came HUDL. As Gerry has said before, HUDL effectively killed Va Tech. All those players in southern Virginia, in Newport News, etc., they would get them all, or at least only be fighting a few schools over some of them. When their film got to HUDL then the Ohio States of the world started moving in more easily. Those things have changed the dynamic of rankings as much as anything IMO.

Blake’s got us a good baseball one for next Friday.

He’s making the rounds. Chicago, Birmingham, DFW, etc.

Not much. Sweat has been getting a lot of media run of late.

I thought I had it solved. I will check on it tomorrow for everyone.

And he wants to live in an RV Park. https://apple.news/AH3Yh6dYFQEumG00rOjfhjg

Silas Bolden.

So I have to ask... where is this girl now? 😉

Yes!

Completely agree. I literally just told them the same thing in a private text.

I think that’s the only way to go. Lots of possibilities if you go that direction, like minimum two or three year contracts, etc.

The vision is to be a place where folks can come together and talk Texas football and recruiting and get updates and analysis from Gerry, Rod, CJ, Blake, Coach Erwin, Coach Shipley and myself, etc., and do it in a welcoming pro-Longhorn environment. No agendas here other than the Longhorns. Will there eventually be a premium component? Most likely. But I want to put ads on the site first to see what that looks like. If we do a pay site, it won’t be as expensive as others. It would be more a nominal fee. But that is not what we’re working on next. Next comes another content idea that I think folks will really like. Hook’Em!

I can do that for you guys. Just realize that all of the Livestreams are at exact times, the others are a little loose because it depends on when editing and uploading gets done.

They’re different. GM typically has more control and input on things like overall strategy.

I do what I can. My speed back in those days was more REM than rap though. 😉

I don’t think Sark is going in that direction.

No need to poke others here. Just enjoy that Gerry is back covering the Horns.

First of all, I suspect two people to move up as a result: Brandon Harris and Jon Michael Jones. Second, Sark has been looking at restructuring some things on that end.

Exactly what I said. Texas has not had an official GM for football previously.
