Quinncent McManning, Jr.

Why isn’t he going to the league is my question. Thought he was a day 1 or 2 projection when in the portal last year.

Gotta think ou is going all in there after being snubbed by him last time.

Tough to lose so much athleticism in guellete and Bledsoe. Wish we could have tapped that potential here. Guellete needed more time from his injury certainly.

Wish him the best. Glad he got to be on campus with his sister. Hope he can find a good landing spot.

Kickers are a wierd bunch. If I were sark I’d bring in a sports psychologist to help Bert with his confidence this week.

One advantage that Clemson has is it won’t be distracted with portal recruiting.

would love another big LB to crash down on the big SEC RBs. not sure if he really fits our greatest need at LB.

Would be very surprised if either golden or williams are back.

No idea about that, which is why it was in the questionable category. Something tells me he will return but that is just a hunch.

Generally agree with GoHorns1 on all points. Would figure flood isn’t taking an offensive lineman unless he is completely unimpressed by development at a position. Let’s take a look at OT. Goosby look a good at LT and Baker at RT currently. How do we feel about Agbo and Cojoe? Maybe they are on the right development track but hard to say since Agbo lost a ton of weight and the regained it and Cojoe started school younger than Ryan Williams. I don’t really see any of the 2025 guys as immediate rotation guys.

Put it this way. In how many games was our punting better than the opposition this year? I can’t remember one. I’m sure there are a few but never did I think our punting flipped the field on anyone this year. There’s no way we don’t find a portal punter this year with a narrow window with arch as qb1.

Think of how much better the defensive stats would look this year if we could pin the opponent inside the 20 with any regularity.

Impressive young man!

Michael Taafe replacement? Not necessarily due to the obvious similarity but due to great production

I like key a lot. He is bigger. 6 3? Sategna is a track guy ran 10.8 in hs. I could see both types of guys being targeted.

Seems like a natural fit but wonder if they would wait for a bigger fish

I think blue is the keilan type and that is fine if he returns. If not I would guess it’s niblett if niblett doesn’t portal. Gibson needs to stay. He’s got a lot of potential once he figures out blocking and not fumbling.

Hard to believe sark would just say let’s let kern develop give that punting was literally the weakest part of the entire team. Sure he may get better but injury or not this year have to think sark will bring in a second punter. My guess is they mostly know what they have with stone after the last few years so either we are fine with that or we will bring in someone new.

I’m particularly disappointed Bledsoe wasn’t a bigger part of the equation this year. Not sure how much is we had a great 6 man rotation versus he’s just not ready. Of course we’ve see how development goes in this room so maybe there is still hope. Sweat went from okay backup to Outland trophy. Collins went from disappointing 5 star to now possible 2nd or 3rd round pick.

Glad to be able to add the two DTs in to the known category today. Still need at least 2 more experienced ones in the portal.

Jesus take the wheel?

Forgot to add on DT - Question marks Bledsoe and Bryant leaving?

Excited to see how the 2025 recruiting class fills out, but we will be in full swing of the portal season as well. Looking at the current depth chart, there will be a ton of talent that comes back next year, though we will still need to supplement through the portal (i did not list everyone, but mostly next in line / higher regarded younger players): QB Knowns - Arch, Owens, Lacey. Question marks - Ownens ready to be QB2?. Portal needs - None RB Knowns - Wisner, Gibson, Simon, Stewart. Question marks - how Baxter and Clark recover from serious injuries, could Blue go pro? Portal needs - possible experienced between the tackles runner. WR Knowns - Moore, Wingo, Livingstone, Ffrench, Lockett. Question marks - Will Nibblett stay at UT and if so still be a WR?, Debose's recovery from injury, Butler's development, could Bolden return? Portal needs - speed experienced WR1/WR2 TE Knowns - Washington, Shannon, Townsend, Winston. Question marks - Michael Terry H-back role if he commits, Niblack returning?, Randle development? Portal needs - possible if there is attrition in particular, also if there is a true difference maker OL Knowns - Goosby, Hutson, Neto, Robertson/Cruz, Baker likely starting 5. Question marks - Could DJ Campbell return?, development of youngsters like Cojoe and Chatman, Portal needs - unlikely given Floods's assembly line of studs EDGE Knowns - Burke, Simmons, Jackson. Question marks - could Moore return?, Vasek's health, Zina's development. Portal needs - only a true difference maker DT Knowns - January, Hills. Question marks - all 2025 recruits until ink is dry, Mitchell returning? Savea leaving for sure? Portal needs - yes, yes, and yes. LB Knowns - Hill, Lefau, Smith, Barnes, Cunningham. Question marks - Akana's future, Guellete's development. Portal needs - only a true difference maker CB Knowns - Muhammad, Guilbeau, Black, Roberson, Mack, Wilson, Philips. Question marks - Cole's future. Portal needs - experienced CB2? S Knowns - McDonald, Johnson Rubell. Question marks - Taaffe really gone? D WIlliams' recovery, Filsame's development, will J Williams be slowed by baseball / late football start. Portal needs - starter level player K Knowns - Stone (kickoffs). Question marks - Auburn's reliability. Portal needs - starter level player P Knowns - crickets. Question marks - does Kern have more upside than we think? Portal needs - starter level player P/K returner - no obvious ones now. Question marks - do we have someone that is suited for either role if Bolden is done? Portal needs - suspect at least one of the spots could be taken by a portal WR. Big picture is that we are in an enviable state. Clearly need experience / speed at WR, a safety transfer, special teams help, and DT starters / depth. All others additions seem to be mostly gravy.. big game hunting, unless there is unexpected portaling out of the program. Thoughts?

I thought surely this would be a Texags documentary made before the game

That historic 2022 aggy class continues to impress
