Someone quick leak a pic of Goosby smoking in a gas mask ala Tunsil a few years back.. that will affect these projections. seriously though… not sure if he would be a first round guy this year… maybe a second… but kid is gonna have a decision to make.

Love MM but he doesn’t posses elite speed and isn’t really a ball hawk. I see him as a round 2-3 pick eventually.

So choices are two schools where he wants to go but have no offensive coordinators and stacked wr rooms… or 3 schools that are nil plays. Still feels like he will choose tosu or Oregon

So every sec team will go guns blazing looking for players. It’s gonna be chaos fighting for every decent player.

I like Lott as much as the next guy but we have a fast twitchy freshman in Bishop. I see no reason to break the bank for Lott. We don’t have that grab the ball out of the air with acrobatic moves guy that would be a cam Coleman or Jeremiah smith. Henry would have been that guy. That’s the guy we wanted wingo to be. I’d rather have the open roster spot and million dollar nil money which could be allocated somewhere no matter what is currently allocated to each position group.

And some serious diva personalities too

Sounds like Lott will see what happens with Henry and the OC situation. Would Oregon really promote samples or drew meh of tom herman lore to the OC job? Laughable if so. USC throwing more money to the situation as well. Who knows.

Wonder about Chip Kelly now. 👀

Can’t help but think of Brennan Thompson. He has a grand total of 2 catches. Maybe he develops how Thompson has this year but doubt the initial steps would be at Texas.

For all the talk about flood not developing. This rs freshman has developed week by week. Should be a beast next year.

Golding as a HC won’t end well

Agree that’s a given. We will lose at least one of Baxter or Clark to the portal is my guess and Wisner has a decision though my gut tells me he’s back. Need a guy like Arkansas, Miss St, or Mizzou had this year.

Very excited about both of these guys. Gerry do you think the learning curve will be high for Cooper? We would need him to learn to pass block to get snaps, so does that severely limit his ability to get carries next year or can he learn quickly ala a CJ Baxter.

Jonah hold up man

I just want him to stay at ole miss for the fun interactions with the beat reporter that called him a hoe

How about our tackles not allowing Howell to be a factor. And no false starts or holding penalties . Here is goosby cooking

Well we’re down one three star 🤷

Never loved his feet for tackle. He probably made a good decision for PT to be honest.

On signing day sark should make a video talking about Lee’s signing as he takes his trash out

At least we aren’t losing the number 1 qb in the class to vandy.

We may struggle to stay in the top 10 this year in rankings. I wrote out an analysis of 3 stars in another new thread just now, and the weight of the 3 stars on the rankings will further tilt the class towards #10.

Lots of back and forth about the 3 stars in this class, particularly as the end to the class. We know that the coaches have had some pretty big hits on 3 stars in the last few years. For example: 2024 (11 3-stars, includes punter) - Ty-Anthony Smith, Parker Livingstone, Alex January 2023 (9 3-stars) - Tre Wisner, Trevor Goosby 2021 (11 3-stars includes kicker and long snapper) - Cole Hutson, Ethan Burke, Cam Williams, Connor Robertson According to the 247 composite, we have 10 currently (includes K, P, and LS). In comparison: #1 USC (13), #2 Georgia (8), #3 Bama (9), #4 ND (4), #5 Oregon (3). .. also #9 Aggy (only 3 with a kicker included out of a class of 26), #15 OU (11), and #19 Tech (13). So we will likely finish with more than more than almost all of the top #10 recruiting classes except save USC which has a whopping 34 commits (including 1 5 star and 20 4 stars). So in the spirit of not being homerish and saying well our 3 stars are the best, or OH NO we are finishing the class with a whimper with only 3 stars, I wanted to take a look at 2 things.. how are the classes that are more relevant to Texas... finishing their classes (senior evals, flips), and who is offering these 3 stars. I'll focus on the #1 class in the country USC, and 34 of our biggest rivals - Georgia, Aggy, OU, and Tech (at least in recruiting these days) First, how the classes are ending since game #1 of the season: 1. USC has added 2 3-stars (#3 JUCO TE, #66 CB) since the beginning of the season 2. Georgia has added: 4 star EDGE (#2), 3 star OL (#1 JUCO player overall by 247, #3 composite) 9. Aggy has added: 4 star WR (#235 national, #32 WR) 15. OU has added: 4 star WR (#93 national, #13 WR), 4 star RB (Hatton, who then lost and then regained, #100 national, #5 RB), 4 star WR (#52 WR), 4star WR (#60 WR), 4 star S (#29 LB), 3-star WR, 3-star safeties. Makes more sense for OU to have so many additions, given how bleak their recruiting was prior to the season and their pretty good year so far. 19. Tech has added nobody So very interesting that most of our competition has not added much of anything since the season started.. we've added 4 recently to try to top off the class, and a few more are likely. Obviously the other teams may add a few here and there as well. Next, how are the 3 stars (note there is a little discrepancy between the 247 team ranking stars and what is listed on the recruiting profiles directly): 1. USC -Josiah Jefferson the #1 JUCO TE in the country, flipped from Utah, Jayden Crowder CB flipped from Cal 2. Georgia - Jarmaine Mitchell, nation's #1 JUCO OT, flipped from Miss St. 15. OU - Xavier Okwufulueze WR, first instate commit of the OU class over okie lite and arky, Markel Ford 3 star flip from SMU Obviously we know our situation with Cummings (Cal), Walker (Minn), Scherer (Stanford), and Jilek (Minn) Ultimately, the late flips are dependent on how full the classes are (USC 32 to 34 commits, Georgia 29 to 31 commits, Texas 20 to 24 commits, Aggy 25 to 26 commits, OU 17 to 24 commits, and Tech 20 commits with intent to throw money at the portal. Where every team's philosophy with NIL/Rev share also plays into this. Tech is playing the big dollars at the portal game every year, which is risky (see Florida State). Who will bend the rules to play players (USC, Aggy?) I'm ultimately not moved one way or another by Texas' late strategy of filling the class with a whole bunch of 3 stars to finish. You may get a few to hit as we have in the last several years, and we are saving gunpowder for the portal. However, it will be a dogfight to get who we want in the portal, and if you don't get who you want in the portal.. guess what, 4 of the aforementinoed teams are already streaking ahead in 2027 (#1 Aggy with 1 5 star level guy plus another 6 4 stars, #2 OU with 2 5 star level guys, #6 Tech with 2 5 stars, #8 Georgia with 1 5 star).

Boom

We should allow the dog in exchange for no milkmen costumes
