[TFloss32]

Why did he want to leave in the first place, pardon my ignorance?

I don't think anyone knows for sure. The main theory is he he burned some bridges with Coach Wickline because he was originally committed to OK State. Now that they're both at Texas, I think he feels he's not getting a fair shake because of what happened in the past.

like they all have. They were wrong about Hammad not transferring because the kid was telling different things to
different people. Having someone mistakenly think he was at practice is not that big of a deal, IMO.

Well, we pretty much cannot get worse on defense. If we do, Snyder is gone.

I think the win totals will be about the same for both schools, so overall wins won't be a big pull.

[TFloss32]

Former A&M DT Isaiah Golden arrested again. Just sad for the guy at this point:

So where do you think he's going then if wins aren't going to be a big pull and your team's defense is suspect?

The only reason I say he is an Aggy lean is because Sumlin has all the momentum right now, but things could change. We will see, I guess.

[TFloss32]

I feel like Texas will end up with Jefferson, Hill and Boyd. Great thing about Jefferson is he'll commit somewhere in December, and if it's Texas, you could be looking at a fun six weeks until National Signing Day. I think DT Daylon Mack will take an official to UT in that scenario (especially if A&M's defense continues to be poor).

I've seen other people mention Jefferson could be for Strong what Cory Redding was for Mack and I like that comparison. He commands that type of respect from his peers and everyone will notice when he makes his final decision. Hopefully that will result in major momentum for UT.

In the back of my mind, I am hoping for this and feel that it is possible... but things have to play out right over the course of our season for it to actually happen. (and it will probably be about more than just wins and losses).

He's close with a lot of the current Aggie commits so that helps a lot. Seems like a guy that would be willing to do his own thing though. And as TFloss said, Daylon Mack is a wildcard. He seems to be looking for a reason to not come to A&M one day, then loves us the next. All things being equal, I think Jefferson chooses A&M.

Don't know who reported first, but WR Jaxon Shipley is practicing again and should start Week 1.

That's good. There are definitely a lot of questions marks at the WR position.

[Vito Corleone]

Telling you guys, the WR position was the deepest on the team before we lost two idiots. It's not deep any more but the starters are really good and really experienced. If two of the inexperienced guys step up it will again be the deepest position on the team.

The only position I'm worried about is QB, we keep Ash healthy we should win the majority of our games.

With that said, Oline needs to be men and own the trenches, the good news is Texas will not face a single front 7 as good as the one they face every day in practice, the bad news is the ones they do face only have to get the best of them on one play and we lose our QB for the year.

I will go on record and say the Texas defense will be one of the deepest and best in the country. It's pretty evident that the only reason for their suckage last year was Diaz, once he left the squad began to come together. This years defense is more talented and better coached. It has great senior leadership and has about 4 true impact players.

[3rdCoastTexasBoy]

Strong said that he hasn't determined a suspension length for senior offensive tackle Desmond Harrison, junior wide receiver Daje Johnson, and senior safety Josh Turner. In regards to Johnson, Strong was asked about whether the speedster "gets it" and merely said, "That's his decision." Hardly a ringing endorsement from the coach, suggesting that Johnson still hasn't turned the corner with his maturity and work ethic.

Four-star Contra Costa College defensive end Takkarist McKinley has locked in an official visit to Missouri.

Correct. Harrison will take over once he returns from suspension.

It's a surprise in the sense that Hutchins really hasn't found his niche since he enrolled at Texas and he's been on both sides of the ball. Glad he's finally getting some time and hope he can be a solid piece in the rotation.

I see Rodriguez is working behind Hutchins and I hope they don't burn his shirt.

Welcome to the Deep South where things are taken way too seriously. Which means Aggie should fit in perfectly.

I'm not familiar with the other two but really excited to see Rakeem Boyd on the list. Does anyone know anything about Shackelford and Kelley?

Shackeford is an early favorite of Wickline. From 24/7:
“Coach Wick said I need to grow and inch and he will offer me. But he also said that since I’m so nasty and aggressive that he might just offer me anyways,” Shackelford said.

Kelley Jr. is a guy who is hard to get a feeling of. Every time I hear something about him, it is regarding Texas. But there haven't been a whole lot of communication between them since Under The Light camp, according to 24/7.

Agreed. If "soon" means next few weeks, our defense may be able to change his mind.

Dom out for the season with a broken ankle.

[Vito Corleone]

huge loss for the offensive line especially at a time when we needed someone to stabilize them and get them into the right blocking formation.

Hopefully Jake has a good enough grasp of the offense that he can at lease keep up with the leadership part of the situation.

[Kermit]

David Ash out too. Concussion.

[Vito Corleone]

And that is our season, unless Swoops has developed in a way we weren't expecting I don't see us winning ore than 6 or 7 games now.

[3rdCoastTexasBoy]

:bang

[ColinB]

Feel bad for Ash, but that should probably wrap up his career.

[TFloss32]

Feel bad for Ash, but that should probably wrap up his career.

Is anyone surprised at all? Ash told reporters before the North Texas game he had "never" thought about retiring after last year despite cries from several people around him to do so. Well, I think it's obvious at this point what the choice is.

[benefactor]

Some Swoopes highlights from last year. As long as the defense keeps playing well I think he and the RB tandem can do enough to salvage the season.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALRkl2Ds9Wc

[pgardn]

It was a matter of time with the O-line display against North Texas.
The time just came very early. This may be very fortunate in the long run for Ash.

I would not want to run or pass behind the blocking I saw Saturday.

[Kermit]

It sucks, but we all knew this was going to happen. Swoopes doesn't suck. He isn't the second coming either. Just don't turn the ball over and let your backs go to work. The defense is their strength. I know they were playing North Texas, but I'm not worried about that side of the ball.

[Ballin42]

Being at the game, Taylor Doyle got whipped like a rag doll! It was bad.... The good thing is swoopes can run and with all those roll outs he can take off. There were multiple times Marcus Johnson was in single coverage running by people and ash wouldn't throw him the ball...

[playblair]

swoopes will surprise the doubters............. swoopes ability to run is a + with the current offensive line struggles................

[leemajors]

Harrison is back for next game.

#FreeCase

[Hook Em 88]

Glad some of you share the same optimism as myself. We have a defense that if continues to improve will be a game changer. Swoopes to go along with Gray and Brown is sufficient enough to compete at a respectable level. Ash looked very hesitant against UNT and his inability to run because of concussion scares limited his capabilities. He wasn't exactly a world beater as I expected him to be. Give Swoopes a chance to gain confidence and develop leadership and we shall know what is to become of him.

wow! same exact thing happened to me in high school when i was a running back. luckily it was the last game of the season, but i could barely walk without muscle spasms for at least a month. the scar tissue gets really sore if you stand up for too long.

[rjv]

Feel bad for Ash, but that should probably wrap up his career.


agreed. the fact that there was not one specific moment that can be readily identified as the cause for the concussion tells us that the chemical changes in ash's brain have resulted in his being that much more likely to get more and with less impact involved. it's time for him to shut it down if he wants to live a normal, healthy life. this should not even debatable.

Same, but the end was also really intriguing. "The edge David had over Ty was the fact that he had game experience, had been in games and knew and understood what was necessary, what was needed. He's been a starter, in other words. Ty got to play but he never got to start and prepare like a starter. That's the edge David had."

talent wise, none. in fact, heard probably has the higher ceiling but it just sounds like he has barely had any meaningful reps.

[Needs More Bourbon]

IT's practice report from yesterday said both struggled but Swoopes less so. I have heard from someone insignificant on the team that Heard has been "horrendous," but frankly, everyone should expect that. True freshman QBs aren't supposed to play, especially when their new offense is nothing like what they ran in high school.

It's weird to me that Harrison was relieved of his suspension on Monday, and then re-suspended on Wednesday. WTF?

I don't even get worked up about that dude because he's done exactly zero since he arrived.

[Vito Corleone]

The suspensions change nothing, the Texas offense was going to struggle no matter who was in there on the oline. As I understand it there wasn't a lot of separation between the starters and backups on the oline before the injuries and suspensions. You can bring all 3 back and Texas was still going to struggle, the biggest difference is that it is going to give some of our younger guys a chance to get some experience.

I'm actually hoping our first play from scrimmage is a play action pass to a streaking Marcus Johnson. I don't even care if we complete the pass, I just want to see the Texas coaches make a statement that we are going to execute our offense no matter who the personal is.

I don't know how much separation there was between 1st & 2nd team O-Line players but Estelle and Harrison we're at important positions as LT & RT in protecting Swoopes. Estelle was our next most experience lineman following Espinsosa and Harrison was reported as having great camps battling against Ced Reed. He'd beat Reed on many occasions so the potential for great play was there.

Hopeful we can somehow get past BYU and buy the staff more time to get things in order.

[ATX_Horn]

Dismissing players because they can't keep their shit together is a negative thing?

No shit! The only negative vibe seems to be coming from some fans. This purge is due in part to a group of senior
leaders on this team who are tired of those who haven't bought in and won't give their all for the sake of the program.

This is the same type of shit that was allowed to fester and run this program into the ground over the last few years...
Mack was asleep at the wheel and his program lacked accountability...none of this should be a surprise.

Did Strong use all the uncertainty surrounding the O-Line as a selling point to Connor? Seems like an odd time to commit given the negative vibe around the program right now.

Quotes from OL Connor Williams of Coppell (OrangeBloods):

"I've really known for a few weeks now that I wanted to go to Texas," Williams told us shortly after he announced his decision. "I've just been knowing that's where I wanted to go. I've been calling coaches today telling them I wouldn't be (going there). I called coach (Joe) Wickline today, told him I want to commit, graduate early, be there in January. He said awesome and told me to call coach (Charlie) Strong."

"It's just where the program is going, Charlie Strong's mindset and the football program itself, the school itself," Williams said.

"It's definitely a big weight off my chest," Williams said.

"With me enrolling early, he said he wouldn't have asked me to enroll early unless he needed me there as soon as possible," Williams said. "I think it's a great opportunity."
