Great stuff, guys. Blake / CJ, - you guys mentioned Harrison and the kid from Indiana State as two of our possible starting pitchers. Who else would you project into the other two starting spots (Sunday, Tuesday starters)? Maybe the kid from Ole Miss? What about the incoming frosh arms? Thanks again for providing this content to us starved college baseball fans!

Not enough is being made of Tyson being out for ASU

Troy Omiere will start at WR for ASU in the Peach Bowl. Let that sink in… -
Joel Klatt takes a shot at Lane Kiffin
Glass Joe replied to Blake Munroe's topic in On Texas Football Forum
Klatt has really gone downhill in the past year or so. He was once a credible analyst and worth a listen, but now he’s a shameless shill for his bosses (Fox - Big Ten), and his takes now consistently reflect his bias. When Texas was in the Big12 and Fox was the primary broadcast partner, we all loved Klatt. Now, Texas is the enemy in the SEC / Disney conference. Klatt’s podcast and his Fox Noon Kickoff show have become nothing more than trying to defend the Indianas of the world (Big Ten) or his personal crusade - Colorado football (LOL!). If Klatt wants to be taken seriously, maybe he can grow a pair and actually enter the arena instead of sniping at those in the arena from behind his Twitter (X) handle. It’s pretty pathetic for the lead analyst for a major college football broadcast partner to be taking Twitter shots at an HC of the SEC, and particularly trying to defend the indefensible…Indiana (really?). -
North Crowley High are the new kings of the I-20 corridor in DFW. It was only a matter of time before the talent in south FW found a high school where the facilities, coaching, and resources enabled this kind of success. North Crowley is a suburban high school with incredible new facilities and large enough to encompass the sprawling growth of south Tarrant county. Get used to seeing them compete for 6A titles.

OTF Premium Texas Portal Entry Tracker

And sparklers -
If there is any way that Riley can muster just enough from his USC team to beat aggy in the Las Vegas Bowl, than he can go wherever he’d like after that.

Only 1 of the top 17 ranked players in that class made it to their senior season. Bryce Anderson (#14 ranked). And the best remaining player in that class (Leveon Moss) will probably not be available in August for next season due to knee injury.

OTF Premium Transfer Portal Entries Thread (1st Week of December)

So it’s down to Nussmeier or Arch. And LSU just added Barrion Brown, and I doubt B.Brown and A.Anderson are interested in sharing targets with Singleton (and vice versa). -
OTF Premium A few notes on Clemson (Monday 7:30am CST)
Glass Joe replied to Gerry Hamilton's topic in On Texas Football Forum
I took a cursory look at defensive stats yesterday (and some offensive) and the only one where Clemson was ahead of Texas was net turnover margin. They’ve been good at recovering fumbles (and not turning it over on offense). That said, other than some real dudes on the DL (Woods, Parker), and some good young WRs (Wesco, Williams, Moore) I don’t see much to worry about. Klubnik is a chain mover, not a big play guy, and we need to be more aware of his legs than his arm. This feels a bit like Arkansas (dual threat QB, decent WRs, but a much better DL). -
First, this already is professional football sponsored by the nation’s largest universities. The only thing forcing these players to even play “college football” is the NFL draft rule that entrants must be age 21 or be 3 years post-high school. Second, I would encourage everyone to reconsider the value of high school recruiting at all. Since this is now a true monetary investment in talent, one must consider both the expected return and the RISK for each player (talent) you bring into your program. And how do you reduce or manage the risk of any investment? You don’t invest in things that are LESS LIKELY to produce your expected return. In recruiting terms, that means bringing PROVEN productive players (portal) into your program whenever possible, and not bringing in more speculative / risky players (high schoolers). I think you’ll soon see a huge bi-furcation in college football between the major P2 schools who largely source their talent from the Portal, and the lesser P4 and G5 schools who rely on high school recruiting for their talent. Effectively, you’ll have a minor league and a major league within college football. The Minor league takes high schools recruits and develops players for a year or two, and then the Major league teams grab these proven, developed-but-not-yet-finished players from the Minors through the Portal. The exception will be those truly elite high school players who can contribute to winning for a Major league program from day one out of high school. In other words, the true bluest chips. These elite high schoolers now have agents taking bids from colleges and will place their clients (recruits) with the best combination of immediate playing time and highest bid. It’s effectively now an auctioning process. Winning is secondary to the agent & recruit when the primary goal is to get to the NFL draft as quickly and as well-prepared as possible, while maximizing your NIL earnings along the way. I’m not sure that we aren’t already witnessing this change with Sark / Texas in this 2025 recruiting class and particularly so over the next few days and weeks. I think Sark is deep sea fishing for only the bluest chips out of high school who project to contribute at Texas immediately (Justus Terry, J.Hilson, J.Ffrench, et al). But once the Portal opens, I expect Sark and Texas to grab some huge impact players from other P4 and G5 programs to fill immediate impact needs on the depth chart for 2025 (this is effectively calling up proven college productive players from the Minors to the Majors). We will have de-facto separation between the truly elite P2 programs, and all other programs in college football. One is just a talent farm system (Minors) to the other (Majors) Their may be positional exceptions where in-house, longer term development makes sense to source from the high schools (OL, for example) since these players are often developed more so than true athletic freaks (with a few elite OTs being the exceptions). But, by and large, why not take an I.Bond into your WR line-up, A. Makuba into your secondary, J.Lole into your DL and not waste valuable resources on non-elite high schoolers who have a much higher washout rate?

OTF Premium Transfer Portal Entries Thread (1st Week of December)
Glass Joe replied to CJ Vogel's topic in On Texas Football Forum
We just kicked former 5-star WR Johntay Cook out of the program, so that’s a clue to Sark’s thinking. It may be as simple as Sark not seeing the value of lightly productive WR divas whose circle thinks much more highly of them than Sark does. High school stars are valueless the day a WR steps on campus. -
The next Cameron Skattebo?? Junior in the Houston area
Glass Joe replied to Gerry Hamilton's topic in On Texas Football Forum
Is the listed 185 lbs correct? If so, Skattebo is 215 lbs so it’ll be interesting to see if this kid can add enough weight to break P4 tackles in the hole the way Skattebo does (without losing the foot quickness that defines his game right now). Based on those highlights, if P4 level football doesn’t work out for the kid, he should give the 110M hurdles a try 😂. The kid has elite ups and downs without breaking stride. -
Well, Texas is on the very short list of schools he has NOT yet attended, so….

Maybe we should ask the only other ranked opponent to play in Kyle Field’s “electric atmosphere” how that worked out….Notre Dame.

Playoff with an SEC conference win?
Glass Joe replied to Lavalulu's topic in On Texas Football Forum
Aggy has to beat both Texas and UGA in successive weeks in order to make the playoffs. They can’t make it as an at-large, only as the SEC Championship game winner. This aggy team has lost its last two SEC conference games to So Carolina and Auburn. So, good luck with that. -

OTF Premium Kade Phillips Update (Friday 9:30 pm CST)
Glass Joe replied to Gerry Hamilton's topic in On Texas Football Forum
This is the new late cycle go-to move by the NIL agents representing highly ranked recruits. Threaten to make a late cycle visit to a school with NIL coffers, and force the current school to pay-up to prevent the violence from happening. We paid Ffrench and Myron Charles not to visit Florida this weekend, and LSU just did likewise with Phillips and Zion. -
OTF Premium Myron Charles Note (Tuesday 2:20 pm CST)

“Truth” - Jaden Rashada -
I don’t think that is what the Committee is saying at all. I think the Committee is saying the 1-loss Big Ten teams are more deserving of a playoff spot than the 2-loss SEC teams. And as long as the Big Ten has four teams that all finish at 11–1 or 12-0, than those four teams are getting into the Playoffs.
-
Again, look at Penn State. They have 1-loss (to OSU) and they are still ranked #4 and ahead of all the 2-loss SEC teams. Indiana’s resume will be exactly the same as Penn State’s after they lose to Ohio State this Saturday. Why would a 1-loss Indiana with the exact same record and loss as Penn State fall behind all the 2-loss SEC schools. And do you really think the Committee (a TV-based organization) is going to allow 5 SEC teams in and only 3 Big Ten teams, especially by purging a 1-loss Indiana? I sure don’t.
-
You could apply to same logic to Penn State as well. One loss @ home to Ohio State, and zero wins against any ranked opponents while not even playing Oregon or Indiana. That said, the Committee has Penn State sitting at #4 (ahead of many 2-loss SEC teams) and Indiana at #5. That suggests to me that even if Indiana loses to Ohio State, they will still be in line for an at-large spot with only one loss and being from a P2 conference.

OTF Premium Snap Counts vs. Arkansas (2024)
Glass Joe replied to CJ Vogel's topic in On Texas Football Forum
D.Moore never came back in after the 3rd down pop pass (for a 3 yard loss) in the first quarter. I do believe he was injured on the play. At halftime, he came out early to work with the Texas trainer to test if he could go in the second half, but they decided “no”. He was stretching both his hamstring and neck, so I assume it was one of those things injured.
