    As a Cowboy and Longhorn fan, D’Mo being successful in Dallas is a win-win.

    I think you have proven your point. However, keep in mind that Bush and Taffe did or are doing what over 95% of this board have never done, which is play D1 football. Should Texas have all 4 or 5 stars on the field all times, maybe in a perfect world. However, since we do not live in a perfect world we need to keep in mind that these young men are living the dream that so many of us have had but never experienced. So continually pointing out their shortcomings does no favors to this board, the players, or yourself.

    Blake, I think that baseball uses analytics as much or more than any other sport. Can you go into how much Schloss uses analytics compared to our previous staff? Plus, while the title ‘Director of Analytics’ seems self explanatory, can you go into the position’s exact job description?

    I have quite a few signed memorabilia items. Mostly Longhorn and Cowboy but I do have others like my pic of Kenneth Hall, the one time leader in HS rushing and TDs. However, this is probably one of my favorites. Not a great picture but acceptable.

    Strange recruitment.
  6. Robert Gilbert
    Great news. Recruit through the whistle.

    Taylor was one hell of a LB in the late 70s. I had a coaching friend of mine, who played and lost to Taylor’s HS team, that he was the vest LB he had ever seen.
  8. Robert Gilbert
    He was a very good player. A look below.

    Any info on how this will affect the walk-on program at UT?

    A look at Earl while in HS.

    Such a tease. Seriously, I appreciate your input and keep up the good work.

    How would Gerry or anyone on any UT board know what is going on except for what he is told by the player, family member, or a coach? Do players, agents, or family members have agendas that Gerry does not know? Probably. For example, Sharma told numerous people he was coming to Texas but changed his mind. DK committed to UT on his OV but changed his mind. We are talking about 16, 17, 18 year olds who are a bundle of hormones who change their minds quicker than some run a 40. If you feel that you are being deceived or not getting money’s worth…leave.

    I have said it before, I would love to see UT play the service academies. It may not always be great football but it would be a fantastic way for our great university to pay homage to the young men and women who willingly will put their lives on the line for us.

    Interesting. He was a very good player in the NFL. He has served several administrative positions within a couple of NFL teams. He knows the league and has experience evaluating talent. A chance to work with Sark and be around his daily sounds like an opportunity too good to pass up.

    Looking forward to big things from him this season.
  16. Robert Gilbert
    A confident, well spoken young man who appears to have a good head on his shoulders. He will do well at UT and I think will be a great representative of the school.
  17. Robert Gilbert
    Is that a nod to Mel Gibson and The Patriot?
  18. Robert Gilbert
    I personally think the need for a “speed receiver” is a bit overdone. Sure a couple of 10.3 or 10.4 guys a class is nice but we aren’t exactly recruiting 4.7 or 4.8 guys now. If Johnson, Hines, or even Wilson goes elsewhere is not the end of the world especially if Ffrench commits to UT. JMO

    I believe his mother said it wasn’t that much and according to most sites, UT matched or exceeded Oregon’s NIL offer.
  20. Robert Gilbert
    Sark has always said he likes the college game. I can see him finishing his career at UT, if things go accordingly. He make a great deal of money, has almost complete control of the team, dealing with 17-22 year olds can be preferable to grown men, and he seems to like meeting and greeting recruits and their parents.
  21. Robert Gilbert
    His ‘laid back approach’ worked on Arch, Wingo, Baker, and dozens of more top recruits. DK followed his heart, which I think will be a mistake. Gerry believes that DK will stick with this decision and maybe he is correct. Or maybe DK’s mother, grandmother, and friends will work on him and get him to change his mind. IDK. But I do know that Sark and UT are better suited for the long run than Oregon and Lanning are at this minute. Lanning could/might leave next season. Oregon’s OC could/might leave after this season. No telling where Samples will be next year (four jobs in four years). Sark already turned down the job (Alabama) he would leave UT to take (short of a NFL job).

    Not a bad attitude. Today is still America’s birthday. We are still the greatest nation on the planet and the envy of the world. We have a strong team, playing in the nation’s best conference, and there are but one or two schools who would not want our rooster. I personally will wake up and watch Coffee and Football and look forward to the next recruit. Will he break my heart like Zion, Sharma, and DK? Maybe, but in bitter defeat, lessons can still be learned.
  23. Robert Gilbert
    You maybe or you maybe wrong. I side with wrong. Texas recruiting since Sark got here has been outstanding. The fact we lost several key recruits, at the last minute, stings to be sure. However, it is not the end of the world. Tomorrow morning I will get up and watch Coffee and Football, the sun wise rise and life will go on. Dk followed his heart (which I know from personal experience doesn’t always work) instead of his head. In a few days another recruit will chose Texas and we will all feel better. DK will not make or break this team. Do not let him break you.
  24. Robert Gilbert
    I think we all can agree that losing Bo hurt UT greatly with committed and non committed DL. IMO, if Sark had gotten a better known college coach (especially with years of experience coaching and recruiting in the South) to replace Bo we would have done better in recruiting this cycle. However, by going with Baker (who I believe will be as good or better than Bo) he was looking at the long game and will benefit UT greatly. Any thoughts?

    Any chance any of the a&m player in the portal will follow Schloss to UT?
