    In the late 1980s and into the early 1990s, Plano High, Lewisville, and Plano East were in the same district. Allen was eventually added to the district. Plano and Lewisville were beasts back then (each winning multiple state championships in the decade 1985-1996), and PESH and Allen were programs on the rise. Allen took over in the early 2000s and has won several state championships since.

    IMG was founded by Mike McCormick, one of the most powerful agents in sports (now deceased). IMG was originally founded for those athletes who could afford elite academy-level training, nutrition, development, etc. in a specific sports (tennis, golf, gymnastics, etc). It expanded from there to include hoops and football. As mentioned above, they now subsidize athletes whose families can’t otherwise afford the cost of professional development. And, yes, McCormick’s original vision for IMG was that his sports marketing firm would be the agency representing these athletes in the professional careers, so that was the upside payoff.

    Texas up to 10 players drafted half way through the 6th round. Rooting for JWhitt to make it 11.

    I boldly predict that Quinn Ewers will be the first pick in the 2025 draft…by the Atlanta Falcons 😀

    Yes, but I think they effectively trap doored him in the 2023 class. Jimbo got the early commit from Bowen, but seemed to slow communications with him over time as David Hicks (5-star DT) signed up, and particularly after the glut of 5-star DTs they already had from the buying spree in 2022 (Nolen, Stewart, GBD, Overton, Lucas).

    Well, at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, they have a section on the best rivalries in college football, and they offered: Texas - OU Michigan - OSU Army - Navy Alabama - Auburn ND - USC Stanford - Cal Grambling - Southern

    Davis led the Pac-12 in PBUs and PDs last season. Was 2nd team All-Pac12 as a sophomore. PFF ranked him the #4 returning Corner in college football for the upcoming season. Played for Nansen, from SoCal, recruited by Nansen. Probable worth keeping an eye on.

    I would guess that KJ has a lot to think about right now.

    So you think Pope goes to A&M to become a priest, so that he has a better chance to one day become Pope?

    TCU maybe?

    April 2024 NT: D.Williams, B.Norton, A.Bryant, A.January (redshirt?), S.Mitchell 2025 season NT: D.Williams, A.January, Z.Williams. If A.Bryant and / or S.Mitchell are still with team in 2025, slot them behind A.January and give Zion a redshirt. I think we can also see the possible consequences of taking both D.Williams and B.Norton on the 2024 depth chart, and even more profoundly on the 2025 depth chart.

    I worry a bit about the fallout if we take two NTs in the next week or so. This would push A.Bryant to third string NT for 2024, and it’s his third season at Texas, so one assumes he’ll have some thinking to do. And it sounds like A.January has already passed S.Mitchell on the NT depth chart, so while we may plan to redshirt January in 2024, what does that suggest about Mitchell’s future path to the playing field? All that said, if you can get a D.Williams level talent for two seasons in your program, you do it 100% of the time and worry about the fallout later. A 2025 NT depth chart with D.Williams, A.January, and Zion Williams will hunt.

    Yeah, although I think Broughton may have something to say about second team DT. I also think Bledsoe will be at one of the IDL positions on the “obvious passing” sub package for the defense.

    Williams plays a different position than Collins. Williams is a true 0/1/2i technique, commonly referred to as a Nose Tackle. Collins is a 3/4/5 technique, the more traditional Defensive Tackle position. Texas should want these two guys on the field playing next to each other as the starting IDL this season.

    Doesn’t appear the players are much interested in hearing whatever Pierce is preaching. That’s always the tell-tale sign.

    The coaching by non-coaching staff members (and the related hours spent on the practice field) are issues I’m anxious to read the findings on. There’s been whispers / gossip that Harbaugh’s program egregiously violated the maximum practice hours, and the violations by non-coaching staff members is adjacent to this.
  17. Glass Joe
    Hard to see where there will be enough minutes available for Griffen, with 5 guys already on the roster at the 3 Guard spots (Mack, Pope (or another PG), Tre Johnson, C.Weaver, and some developmental minutes for D.Pryor). I absolutely love Griffen, but hard to see him at Texas with Tre Johnson and T.Mack playing most of the non-PG minutes in a 3-Guard offense.

    Reggie Freeman holla!

    Here’s an interesting Longhorn golf related question….how many times have Longhorns spent the evening before the final round in Butler cabin? Off the top of my head (and correct me if I’m wrong here): Scottie twice, Jordan twice, Crenshaw at least once, anyone else? Kite? Leonard?

    It’ll be interesting to see if this is a reaction to a new portal addition…or a new high school recruit coming to Texas. Or maybe another school made him an offer he can’t refuse, NLI notwithstanding. Arkansas?

    Aggys have a tenuous relationship with an honor code, so this makes sense. Walter Nolen, Evan Stewart, et al can probably comment on aggy football and keeping promises.

    Among the mechanisms of payment were withheld revenue by the B12 for 2024, forced to change schedule to give Fox the Michigan and Ohio State games as home games (broadcast by Fox, not ESPN), and reduced payouts of tournament revenues from hoops tournament. The only cash payment was to Fox for the other OOC games for 2024 that would’ve been on Fox broadcast. The economic value of the foregone revenues, shifting UM and OSU games to Fox early, and various other game payouts is ballpark $50m for each of Texas and OU. For the 8 legacy B12 programs It effectively reimburses them for the monies they shared with the 4 new schools (UH, UCF, BYU, Cincy) for the two seasons of 2023 & 2024.

    15.7 pts, 6.3 rebounds, and 35.7% from 3-pt line. Two years to play. The only thing that doesn’t compute is the 65% FT line.

    Never forget the maroon carrot.

    Do you think Malik Mack will be able to get into Texas academically 😀?
