The list now and by seasons end may look a lot different ... Texas has 23 players that will be truly graded by NFL scouts this season IMO Quinn Ewers Kelvin Banks Cameron Williams DJ Campbell Jake Majors Hayden Conner - UFA Amari Niblack Gunnar Helm Isaiah Bond Matthew Golden Silas Bolden Jaydon Blue Alfred Collins Jermayne Lole - UFA Tia Savea - UFA Bill Norton - UFA Vernon Broughton - UFA Barryn Sorrell Trey Moore Ethan Burke Andrew Mukuba Gavin Holmes - UFA Bert Auburn - UFA Texas will get 10-12 out of the group drafted IMO

1. Quinn Ewers - losing a third year starter in Sark's system and NFL draft pick would be a challenge, even if Arch Manning is QB2. 2. Kelvin Banks - losing a first-round OT is very tough. 3. Jaydon Blue - with Baxter out, losing Blue would significantly change the Texas team from having both Baxter and Blue headed into the season. 4. Muhammad - huge drop off, and top corner by far 5. Anthony Hill - huge drop off and top 2 player on the defense 6. Cameron Williams - too much youth and unknown behind him 7. Alfred Collins - by far the most talented interior defensive lineman that also provides scheme versatility 8. Trey Moore - May be the best player on the defense. 9. Derek Williams - safety position can't lose it's most talented player. 10. Gavin Holmes - depth at corner will be a concern until it's not.

lol Love it. But I will say the NCAA has always had the same issue ... they don't have subpoena power. Tough place to work from on some of this stuff.

Autry is a big NIL recruitment, and Auburn is playing for keeps

Baxter's natural football intelligence is extremely high end.

As a between the tackles runner? Potentially yep. The entirety of the position, not sure on that.

Stay in contact and make an attempt, sure. Get anywhere on those? Tough to see right now. Wynn is least likely.

Just me, but I believe Michigan is going to get hit pretty hard - by NCAA standards.

Texas is looking for bigger frame players/prospects, wrong or right.

Any RB can catch a pass out of the backfield too … but it doesn’t mean you have the same passing game out of the backfield with Blue and Baxter. If it was Blue that had been injured … you weren’t going to see Texas run Baxter down the seam in the passing game Players have different strengths/skill sets at the same position

Tramon Mark looked really good Wednesday. Staff likes his ability to make plays with ball in hand, making good reads

His reaction to knowing what was coming … get to the NFL!!!

Good topic for sure. It’s not that Blue can’t do it, but it’s not going to be maximizing his ability/touches, and the idea was for Texas to have Baxter and Blue play off of each other to their strengths and stress the defense in multiple ways from the RB position. Texas plan was not to have Blue eating up his touches between the tackles, which is not his strength as a RB if you want to maximize him. We were going to see more two back personnel this season with Baxter as the RB and Blue a speedy playmaker that Sark could move all around and work favorable matchups in the passing game with Blue. Texas will have to make adjustments with some of the plan with the Baxter injury. Sark is just going to have to make changes to the plans for maximizing this team/offense now … plenty of talent to work with, but the top three RB’s headed into the season (Baxter, Blue and Wisner) weren’t just plug and play - in terms of the plan this season

I do expect Texas to try with Sims. Can the staff flip an A&M commit? We shall see

Upside is there, but he may just need more time to get there. Of course, up to all these kids to maximize their talent.

Texas is staying on Myron Charles and a couple of others committed elsewhere I think the Horns will also make a run at Chace Sims - A&M commitment And senior evals on 1-2 committed elsewhere that Kenny Baker didn’t have the chance to see in person in spring

No silver boot picture!

Very sorry to hear that

Guessing he will be.

Still not fully released last I heard. I will ask around this week to see if it's getting closer

I'm setting my alarm
