2023 Recruiting - Football

Nice! Kudos for adding Duce and the Hawaiian volcano to the sign.

 

cnb, discounting portal activity and potential attrition, how many more can we take?

 

Is Samuel Omosigho considering flipping from Ou?

 

How in the hell is Sark going to speak with each and every recruit? This is insane but pretty much awesoome.

 

We have enough staff to handle it. And the staff will have the commits acting like chaperones as well.


Some of the 24/25 class guys may not get as much 1 on 1 time with coaches as they want but a win a vibe check will make it worth the trip and tons of time left to close them.

 

Ive not looked at the roster. But the consensus seems to be 28-29.

 

Georgia expected to flip this Converse Judson WR from Oklahoma. Don't know about the other.

Anthony Evans, Judson, Wide Receiver

 

So about 8 sports left ? Portal included ?

 

A QB named Austin Mack belongs in Austin. Is there a RB named Moon Towers out there anywhere?

 

Wonder what the offense recruits are thinking?

 

That Sark doesn't have a ******* clue what he is doing as HC

 

My niece who goes to UT saw Arch Manning hanging out at Figi house today.

 

Time for damage control.

 

Texas gave up TDS on a bad LB angle and a blown safety coverage. That is one Derek Williams and one Anthony Hill from a win. That is what 5* recruits think. Thankfully, the best ones around looking to ride the finished product float.

i hope you’re right. I know we did well after 5-7, but a W last night could have really sealed the deal with some of those kids. I would think they might reassess now.

 

The core of our two MNC’s, 1969 & 1970, came after 3 consecutive 6-4 seasons. Few (NONE) remember rumblings that the game had passed by DKR. The Worster Bunch were certainly not of the ‘me too’ generation. Now, if a team quits ( see Mackovic and Strong teams) or current day OU and aTm, that’s a different matter. If I’m a stud recruit, I see a graduating DB bunch, no great LBs coming back, need for DL’s and a depleted WR group. Or, at least one needing more speed. As an RB, I see the bones of the best OL in football in a year or two. Did anybody see Harold Perkins(who we narrowly missed) eat Arkansas alive? If we had him (or A.Hill next year) our D can be awesome. Football players, real football players, are about building championships not joining late and basking in unearned glory. Give this young team a break, curb the bitching (nobody on this board has anything more than a ***** forum of power) and support another recruiting brick to the wall. Hell, I’m old and have reason for impatience, but take a deep breath and let the process work. Apparently, PK has learned how to coach a defense. Most likely not from internet bitching!

 

Did they switch sides at halftime?

 

We finally get Duce to visit and we lay an egg in the first half (0 points) and nearly one in the 2nd half.

 

When I got to UT (early 70's) I was surprised how many were bitching that the game had passed DKR by...shortly after winning back to back MNC's. After graduation I left Austin for a couple of yrs. Upon return shortly after he retired as HC, I got on an elevator @ Belmont. DKR stepped on right behind me with 2 other guys. I was amazed...he looked like a VERY old man. The stress of the job had definitely taken a toll. Saw him again 25-30 yrs later & he looked 25-30 yrs younger than he did on that Belmont elevator. Being HC Football @ UT is one of the most stressful/high pressure jobs in the country. Not sure I'd want it even if they paid me Jimbo's salary.
