It was awesome!

He also added they start every day with with ball security drills. Should be music to y’all’s ears.

Juluke said he wanted to be the best HS coach in Louisiana history while he was at Edna Karr and then joked “they did much better when they got rid of my ass”

Today marks 47 days until kickoff, so the countdown rolls on with a look at some of the best Longhorns to wear No. 47. Andrew Beck | Tight End (2015–18) A true do-it-all tight end, he played in 51 career games with 30 starts, hauling in 40 receptions for 440 yards and four touchdowns while becoming one of Texas’ most dependable blockers and leaders. His senior season earned him First-Team All-Big 12 honors, and he was also named a Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year Award semifinalist. Mike Lockett | Wide Receiver (1976–77) Lockett was part of one of Darrell Royal’s final great teams. A two-year letterman, he helped Texas capture the 1977 Southwest Conference championship, finish 11-1 and No. 4 nationally, and earn a trip to the 1978 Cotton Bowl with a chance to claim the national championship. Luke Brockermeyer | Linebacker (2018–21) One of the best recent walk-on success stories, Brockermeyer earned a scholarship before becoming a starter in the middle of the Texas defense. He finished his career with 75 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss, two interceptions, and received Honorable Mention All-Big 12 recognition in 2021 after recording 62 tackles. He was also a Burlsworth Trophy nominee and a two-time Academic All-Big 12 selection. Current No. 47: Trey Dubuc (Deep Snapper) Who’s your favorite Longhorn to wear No. 47? Any other names you’d add to the list? 🤘

Jeff and I are about to listen to RBs coach Jabar Juluke.

Asked about this year's recruiting class and how successful it has been. "I think it's worked out really well for us... It's the first class we were on level footing for. We had no chance in 25, playing catch up in 26 and 27 was the first time. Our message to those kids was we are going to be a developmental program and become a consistent winner." Added that this past draft validated their recruiting message.

On what he wants from both Reed and offense, development wise: "Consistency and urgency." Says those two things have been the most important piece of the offseason.

On roster building, Elko explains that they treat HS recruiting as the draft and the portal as free agency.

Elko says that Texas A&M moving to the SEC was important, but doesn't speak on the Horns move (he was asked). "That's what allowed us to grow our brand and recruit at a level, year in and year out, to be successful."

Elko says it's important for the Aggies to be great on the LOS. Notes they had 7 linemen drafted last year.

FWIW, I have a short sleeve dri-fit hoodie on. So I'm close.

Elko immediately asked about 5 for 5. "I think 5 for 5 is going to affect different programs, at different levels, differently." Then adds that it should enhance some of the developmental players.

Elko is here

Mike Elko will be next.

Great question from Jeff and great answer from Bohl on that last question!

Dykes was also asked what number he thinks a team has to have, financially, to be successful… Says you can be successful without it, but feels like TCU could be 20-25 million behind other teams they’ll face. “Part of the problem is nobody knows… everybody would benefit from transparency.”

Dykes is up now. He was asked about cases, such as Colt Hutson’s, where a graduating senior could return… ”I don’t know how to answer that. The rules are the rules… I haven’t really thought about it quite frankly.”

Luck closes it by saying he feels they have something good going on at Stanford right now and they’re looking for the next superstar here in the state of Texas.

Sark on advice to coaches: ”Be adaptable. A lot of change going on in our sport. Remaining adaptable as a coach is really important…” (then credits Nick Saban for that)

GJ Kinne makes a final plead with coaches asking to send their kids to Texas schools.

Sark says the uptick in HS recruiting is coming. “We are going to hit this cycle where it’s going to become normal again.”

Sark is asked about five for five ”I think the five for five is something we all pushed for…. It gives us an opportunity to recruit more developmental players.”
