Not sure it can be used against him, when one of the best defensive coordinators in the league, Fangino, wanted him on his staff and he's been coaching the DL at various spots for 10 or so years now. I do understand your concern though, but negative recruiting is going to happen regardless of who is coaching/recruiting at the position. It's the nature of the business.

I could see some defensive losses for them, apart from those headed to the NFL. Harbaugh is reportedly taking some of his staff with him, noted was the DC and I'd assume some more defensive guys. Maybe some offensive. If so, that could push some defensive guys to the portal. Not sure we really need anything besides 1 interior guy. Even then, I feel good about our interior, but another guy wouldn't hurt.

I think they ease him into things like they did Hill, I think there is enough at Edge that I feel confident not to rely on a Fr straight away. But if he shows out and continues to get better, they'll have a hard time not getting him on the field. Funnily enough, I'm expecting Burke to have a huge year. Add some more good weight, continue to improve and have a really big Jr campaign. Sorrell, too. Think he's kind of hit a ceiling but I think he can be good for us. Same with the addition of Moore. I also think Vasek with a strong off-season can earn some playing time.

I don't know what to think of the hire. Don't know much about him, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. From what I've read and heard about him from people like you guys at OTF, he sounds like a real up and comer. A guy that is waiting to be unleashed, so to speak. We all assumed it would be someone like Rod Wright, but it seems like Coach Sark was doing his homework, looking for some youth. This guy seems to exude energy and having Georgia ties is great, so many good players come out of the state of Georgia. We could certainly use the connections/ties. One thing we need to do is start hitting on big time recruits at that position. Coach Davis did a great job of developing what we had, but lacked heavily in recruiting. No problem with 3 star guys, but nothing wrong with grabbing some high 4 star and 5 star guys if we can. Development I'm not worried about, as he seems to do well at that from what I've read. We'll see what he can do with recruiting. If anything, I think Coach Sark has gained some trust/leeway in what he's done at Texas so far, after nuking the roster in 2021 or after 2021 and where he took the program to where it's on the current trajectory. Just my unwanted 2 cents.

Terry got them on a roll since a pretty if bit of form against WV and UCF. Beating back to back ranked opponents, especially blowing out OU is a great return to form.

I think if he was '25, we would've had a better chance. But it's not like if he goes to Auburn there isn't a loaded WR room there. Don't they already have 2 other 5 star WR's committed and got some guys through the portal? Only problem is, their QB situation isn't so great.

It's a shame, but not really unexpected. WR is pretty loaded and he could see the field much sooner at Auburn. We already had 4 guys commit and sign with Texas, plus 3 from the portal. I'm assuming Auburn and Bama have been putting the pressure on him. Best of luck to the kid and hope he finds a good fit.

Brandon Harris seems like a good dude. Wouldn't be surprised to see him getting an on field position somewhere in the next few years. Plus kids seem to love him on the recruiting trail.

I've been reading that if Moore isn't named HC, that there could be a mass exodus. It would be surprising to me if they screw that up. Keeping Moore should be priority #1 for them, as he'll keep the majority of the team together. I've only read that Harbaugh would take his DC with him to the NFL, not sure who else he has one staff. If Moore stays, he could keep the bulk of the staff in place, including Mike Elston. I'll be curious to see what Michigan does. Not that long a go, they wanted to force Harbaugh out....so it's a weird world, lol.

Would be hard to pull, Elston, as he's a Michigan alum, but he's a great developer and recruiter. Had some really good DL guys at Michigan. There is a chance he might get the bump to DC, too. As word is that if Harbaugh leaves, the DC from Michigan is likely to follow him. Will be interesting to see anyway.

I posted this in another thread, but don't leave out Mike Elston from Michgan either. He could be another one that Coach Sark is after. Might not leave as long as Coach Harbaugh could potentially return. Either way, I have faith that the right hire will be made.

I think you'll see him add 10-15 pounds of good weight this off-season.

I've seen some talk that, Coach Sark, could be waiting to see if Coach Harbaugh leaves to the NFL and could poach Coach Elston from Michigan. Not sure if that's the play, but he's certainly kept this close to his chest. You'd think if the new DL coach hire was Coach Wright, it would've be done and dusted by now. Either way, great grab for Coach Sark again. He's doing a great job of building analysts to help the program and it's starting to really show.
