I'm honestly surprised by this list. So many thought he would go Georgia. I honestly like this kid and hope he signs with us. Speed is insane.

Saw that LA Tech is replacing them.

Thanks for letting me know. I've been searching through the transfer portal lists trying to see who could be a potential target. Surprisingly hard to narrow down with the size Texas wants and production.

Thanks mate and I agree. My sister and I had to fight him to even go check when he had rapid weight loss and wasn't eating anything. Unfortunately by the time we could get him to, it had spread everywhere. Tried some chemo but it just made him even worse. Not sure what this would be in pounds, but he's just above or just under 40kgs now, as a 67 year old.

Thanks mate, sorry to hear about your MiL, too.

Cancer sucks. My dad has stage 4 pancreatic cancer and doesn't have long to live. You basically watch them become something you barely recognize. It's painful stuff. Wish all the best to Randy Moss and his family. It takes a toll on everyone involved. As for ESPN, I mean why do they do anything? Seems a bit weird to call him that, but I mean that is technically his job now, so I don't think it's that big of a deal. Though I can see your point about it.

Not much out there right now with DT's, I'm assuming some of the guys, the staff wanted to kick the tires on, haven't jumped in? Haven't really heard much about DT recruiting in the portal.

I want to say I'm surprised by this, but I'm not. With a young talented Edge position already there (Vasek, Simmons, Umeozulu) to pair with Moore and Burke. Then you add on top of that Jackson and Orogbo coming in, man I don't blame the guy one bit. Wish him all the best, him and his family are a class act.

Even if he goes to the NFL, they won't show much interest in him until later rounds. But man, whoever gets him, is getting a steal. Guy has worked his ass off from a PWO to a scholarship/starting spot and absolutely killing it.

I'm curious what is even happening at OU right now. Is it the constant turnover with coaches or something, especially the OC? I mean to bring in an Air Raid guy and lose like 6-7 WR's, your top TE and two QB's is crazy to me. I wonder if this would've happened during Herman's era if the portal was alive and well back then. At this point, they might just have to switch to the flexbone temporarily when they play Navy, lol.

I see you on the 247sports website, well I did until I got hit with the 403 error, lol. Love your posts over there. Now, I'm not the biggest basketball guy out there, but what do you think the issues or problems are? Outside of coaching? Is it NIL or what?

Yes sir, but he's not very mobile. Although now that you bring it up, maybe Ewers needed a bit of extra beef?

If some things go our way, you're looking at a blow out against Georgia. That first half should've had us with 21 points instead of 6. That would force Georgia to throw the ball more, which they aren't that great at, especially with Stockon. Outside of the big run by Etienne, they didn't really do much. Our D stood tall for the whole game. Under 300 yards and 16 points in regular time, most coaches would take that in a heartbeat and assume you win, lol. Not to mention all the calls and fumbles that bounced their way, literally. I've never seen a fumble bounce from about the middle of the field all the way out of bounds, lol. That was wild. Indicative of it not being our night, unfortunately. Wouldn't be afraid of Georgia, they haven't whipped us either time we played. We literally handed them the game in the first game with poor offensive and special teams play. Our O found it's pulse in the 2nd game, but were allergic to the end zone.

He might be even less mobile than Ewers and that is saying something, lol.

That would be a decent spot to land. You've got Stafford at 36, Garoppolo at 33 and Benson at 27. Could easily see him getting to sit a few years and learn from a guy like Stafford.

I was actually wondering about that, because I've been keeping an eye on the portal and his name never popped up. Only that he had intentions to do so. I guess they managed to talk him around, which says a lot about how they feel about his upside and perhaps what Coach Baker can work with him.

I don't disagree, but I think we've got some dudes there who could contribute. But, when you're right, you're right.

Sure, but at some point you need to trust the guys you've recruited. There is so much talent there. I understand wanting the experience, but I'd be fine rolling with the dudes we've got. Otherwise what is the point of recruiting these guys?

Hey, maybe you're right. But he's almost in his 70's. Not sure I would bother getting back into coaching at that point. But then again, what the hell do I know? Bill has probably forgot more about the game of football, then I'll ever know, lol. Wish him all the best, just my opinion that it's not a good hire for them. Happy to eat crow on that though.

Coach Sanders actually has personality. Coach Belichick has the personality of a wet blanket, actually that's pretty offensive to the wet blanket. He has nothing that would appeal to recruits. Most of them weren't even born or would remember Brady's great run, unless they looked it up on Youtube, lol.

Jokes aside, I'm surprised they didn't kick the tires on Barry Odom. Helped bring UNLV to some recent success that they haven't had before and would've been a great fit for them. Hiring Bellichek just seems weird. Guy was such a grouch he wouldn't even let Madden use his name in the NFL games, lol. Was very unlikeable at the NFL level and didn't do much after his run with Brady. Never been in college either, from my understanding. If I'm a UNC donor or fan, I'd be pissed off right about now.

Was going to post this, not sure that's a great deal for Houston, but who knows maybe with some different leadership he'll fix himself up.....bruh...okay, that just feels weird to even type out, lol. Castellano going to Florida State was weird, considering what a dumpster fire it is.

I think the staff knows this, the problem is there are no big time DL in the portal. You could kick the tires on Silver from Kentucky but who else is there? Plus when you narrow it down, Texas is looking for bigger bodies, which instantly narrows that group down drastically. I think Gerry or CJ talked about this, but you want two high productive guys, etc. Then add 1 or 2 rotational type players. Don't forget the staff isn't quick to jump on anyone, last year it was a week after the portal opened before they even signed anyone.

Personally, Thieneman is better.

He's banged up, needs to get healthy.
