    Isaiah Bond - enters portal, enrolls at Texas, flexes a Lamborghini (lol)

    Supposedly great. Couldn't have any face to face with coaches per rules but he and Brown had decided to focus on getting to know the communities on their visits since they look at this as a "40 year decision." Attended a big event at Boys and Girls club I believe, met with some members of a UM...

    Rumor: Huff to Striker?

    Yes but maybe the kid just can't play it. Whether he can't pick it up mentally or just can't put on the weight needed to play it, who cares? If striker's the only place he has a chance to contribute then move him and give him a shot and whatever happens happens. I thought Gil had a really...

    Rumor: Huff to Striker?

    Oh I don't disagree. I was as excited we signed him as anybody, but it has blown me away all year how so many fans on here and the other site I spend more of my time on complain about "we're not playing the best LBs" and always include him on the list of guys who should be playing more or...

    Rumor: Huff to Striker?

    His junior season, or his freshman season? Didn't he redshirt his first year? And last year was a freebie for everyone. Who knows how many years Huff wants to attend college, but I don't think there's any concern about him wasting his eligibility at this point.

    Rumor: Huff to Striker?

    Um, he's pretty much been benched at LB hasn't he?

    Proof's in the pudding, but I'm encouraged about MD as our DC because of this quote..

    Except I don't think he is out of here next year if we get embarrassed in big games. I think we'd literally have to go sub-.500 for Manny to get fired, which I don't think is very likely with our schedule. If we go 8-4 or even 7-5 with some ugly losses, he's still coming back imo. And I'm...

    Early 2022 Class Projection

    First let me say, I don't even know most of those kids' names on your list. I'm never really been die-hard crazy recruiting junkie guy, but I don't think I've ever known so little about the next class up than I do this year. Maybe that's a function of the phenomenon that was 2020, not sure...

    Worst set of DE’s since Manny has been here..

    Whoa! ****, I didn't see that coming.

    2021 Recruiting Class Countdown: #15-11

    Gotta admit @Lance Roffers , you kind of threw me here. Mello and Chase that low? And you're higher on Tyler Johnson than I am. But honestly, it's mostly b/c I hate taking HS pass rushers and signing them to be traditional LBs. One who is freak athlete once in awhile OK, but we seem to make...

    Upon Further Review: Manny Diaz as DC

    Yes, but I think the "bad offense" thing gets overplayed sometimes. There are times it can also work to a defense's (statistical) advantage. When the other team sees and knows you can't score, they're often not as aggressive either, knowing they don't have to put up a ton of points. For...

    Upon Further Review: Manny Diaz as DC

    This is a good post (as was Lance's obviously). Yes Manny did a very good job here as a DC. People dog him as a DC imo b/c they remember 2 things: 1- some poor performances down the stretch (including bowl games) where we just couldn't get stops or get off the field (vs. not even great...

    Returning production

    True, but that's just it. We didn't have those guys last year, so if we're comparing this year's D with last by who is leaving/returning, those guys were a big part of the equation. "RJ McIntosh and Kendrick Norton aren't walking through that door." ;)

    Returning production

    I hope, but it's hard to expect that year after year. And specifically regarding our edge rushers, I don't see Harvey having that kind of impact. Nor our transfer from UT. Maybe Chantz blows up next year?

    Returning production

    True, but those kids on the edge were such a HUGE part of any success we had on defense last year (yes I know, "success on defense"). Nesta had his moments, but really nothing from the other DT spot/LBs/DBs other than a cameo here or there early in the season by Bubba. Sooooo many of our stops...

    How does Baker sell himself to a recruit if he isn't thought of highly enough to call plays?

    The good news is, there's really nowhere down to go for him.

    Players who still need to make their decision.

    Right. Unless we want to use slots for the next class again.

    Players who still need to make their decision.

    Payton should transfer. I was hoping he was going to be a good one but not anymore. He's still young I know, but if he had any game we'd have seen something from him by now. And particularly with our current wr depth chart, as you mentioned. If the guy runs 20 routes, the defender looks like...

    Upon Further Review- Cheez-It Bowl

    Ugggh. Man the memory of how bad we played and how many mistakes we made had faded, and then to relive it again....I'm sick to my stomach. Wish I hadn't read this feature for once. And you catch it all. It amazes me how many people can watch a game and not catch almost any of these things.

    Kahlil Brantley...

    This, unfortunately. People want to talk about the kids but leadership (the staff) sets the tone and culture. We've seen that plenty here at the U over the past 15 years.

    Michael McClaughlin SR highlights

    I hope you're right Rivers sticks at T. I was disappointed when there was some talk about him being a G long-term already. Walker didn't stand out to me honestly when I watched his film last year but what do I know. I'm not qualified to pick the winners from losers when watching HS o-line...
