2018 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

[texbound]

SJSU is the worst team UT will play and the DBs look lost most of the time.

Not true....I think Kansas or Baylor would get beat by San Jose State. I know they beat UT last year, but that team has gotten worse. They escaped a lower rung SEMO and got toasted by Central Michigan. Baylor may not win a game all year. The Kansas/Baylor game may end in a 0-0 tie (game called on the count of sucking)

Kansas and Baylor may be slightly better but they're essentially on the same level.

OrangeBloods says Buechele received limited reps today and didn't participate in 11-on-11.

If there's any doubt with him at all, my guess is he sits the bench for USC in hopes he can get healthy over the bye week and be ready for that Thursday night game in Ames.

Needless to say UT can't afford to drop that one against Iowa State.

[pgardn]

Someone tell me how we are going to stop USC offense?

No pressure, guys in the 2ndary lost? USC has got to have seen all those open receivers on film.

We we saw a bit of Gary Johnson with Malik at the same time. One of those two is going to have to get at the QB because no one else looks capable so far. Their (USC) RB looked damn good as well. This could get ugly unless Maryland really is a superior team and we witnessed their wrath.

Oh yes... And since we have never officially beaten USC, it's gonna be a new experience if we can hang.

I remembered that one play of Johnson's I did not like. He blitzed up the middle and their little RB hit him and stopped him cold. Otherwise the guy is really fast as advertised. He has gotta watch his angles on the USC running back though because he is really fast (#7 I believe?). We gotta have our guys getting off blocks. Not just penetrating, getting clean shots. Shuck them off for the love of God...

The same basic deal here we have seen with many athletes. We got tremendous speed and size that can absolutely run anything down but we don't know if he can play football instinctively. Dat Nygen and Zack Thomas were not necessarily coached well IMO. Tremendous instinct for the game. Ability to watch film and dissect. Malik is a top 3 pick in the NFL draft with instinct.

The point is this:

I don't think the game has slowed down for Malik and that is why he isn't making the plays he should be making. I think we just need to put him in attack mode and remove the reads from his game. Being able to read a play and find the ball is synonymous with instinct, to and extent it can be taught but most of the time a guy either has it or he doesn't.

I think Jefferson might be better served as a rush end like Striker was for Oklahoma, just move him around and tell him to find the QB.

Possibly. Yep.

Cause he can find away to get lost in the run game. And then next play stone a guy on 4th and 1. He will be drafted high, just wonder how he works out a league up. You watch 50 for the Cowboys filling gaps and cutting through lineman immediately making himself look like a 4.3 LB. And he's not close, especially now in his career. Those 3-d special timing brains are underrated.

Its not like Tom Herman coached Ed Oliver to be what he is. What coach gave Oliver his explosive, accurate gifts in getting guys immediately off balance.

[Hook Em 88]

^^^ exactly my point from previous post.

[pgardn]

The drive with 5 min left and the defense has me feeling good.

The special teams and the D during the last 45 sec, which is like Big 12 play... Not good at all. I'm still worried about the Big 12 offenses that give you no time to rest. USC tried to ram the ball down our throats and it did not work. They dropped some big passes. When they went quickly they gained yardage. I wish we played in the PAC 12 after this viewing.

The offensive line, now possibly minus Connor... Someone might get killed in the backfield.

Long, long way to go. Tons of mistakes. Snap coordination, Oline moving... But physically we made huge gains on D compared to the Maryland game. Running QBs that can pass may still give us trouble though. Ok St and OU might be USC pumped up when they hurried to move the ball in the last 45 seconds and before the half.

That game was exhausting. I'm very tired, took some shots to the head.

[bluebellmaniac]

Some of you try to make it sound like a moral victory. Ask Charlie about moral victories. If you are keeping drug dealers on the team, then the big spenders want only 1 thing... wins. They want a #1 in the tower. I'm not raining on any parade, because you don't parade after a loss. They could lose every game by 3 in double overtime. It. is. still. a. loss. And eyes will be opened if that continues. The talent is there. We should finish with a winning season.

[Biggems]

Too many mistakes on offense, and as great as the defense was, the last minute of each half and the first play of OT was hot garbage. This was something to build on though.

BTW, why in the hell did Warren get minimal carries again, meanwhile Porter, who can't run through a paper bag, gets more carries. It was veey frustrating.

[sahoopster]

It's hindsight but I didn't understand why they didn't go with their 250 RB on the Ehlinger fumble play.

Its a big L but it's still must be examined on a sports board.

And disagree about the talent. Our offensive line looks bad and we have no TE. That's a fairly fundamental zero. Our O tackles that played showed severe lack of mobility, horrible stuff. The depth here appears to be non existent. We are not near a big time program. It appears We are not bringing in talented reserves.

I really think our drug dealer TE reserve situation should have been squarely addressed. But coaches can hide behind the "it's really not helpful to air a high schooler's misdemeanor charges that have been resolved" The lack of investigative reporting concerning the actual charge is interesting. We are in the dark concerning the situation, quite possibly due to age, and or privilege.

More thoughts. PJ Locke, who looked lost before, finally made some plays. Jones looks like the weaker of the two safeties. Malik draft status just went way up. He is as fast as any linebacker we have ever had IMO.

[Hook Em 88]

I think some you are minimizing the loss of Williams. Yes we lack overall depth but in our situation when Williams goes down you have his replacement come in and that becomes your weak link. In this case Nickelson is forced to cross cover for Williams and Okafor steps in for T. Nic. This is not ideal at all. Nickelson is already the weak link on our starting line and then you ask him to fill in the most important role. Okafor a backup then has to cover RT. A loss of one starter becomes 2 players out of position trying to protect a freshman. Also a bad situation was his and Shacks inability to connect throughout the game, I imagine from their lack of chemistry. Shack and Shane never had these issues. Helluva game.

So we lack depth at tackle. It's a very difficult position. USC also had some D line guys missing after the Stanford game.

Another observation. Porter is a much better pass blocker than Warren. If Warren expects to be a pro at RB he has to show vast improvement in this area IMO.

I've said this before, and I will repeat myself, it normally takes 4 weeks into the season before a new coaching staff begins to leave an imprint on the team they have taken over. Week 4 for Texas is a bye week but game 4 will be against ISU, a team that was a thorn in the side of Texas since 2010.

I think you will see a solid game and win. The defense is starting to gain an identity and moving forward I look forward to seeing their progression. I want Texas to hold serve on their home field, if they do that this will be a 9 win team. That means beating KSU and OSU in Austin. I feel good about the games against TTU, KU, Baylor, and ISU. I'm having a hard time seeing us beating Oklahoma or TCU, but the truth is beating OSU will be a bigger feat as I think they are the best in the Big 12.

I would have given it to Malik Jefferson. That kid is a monster!

Several guys stepped up in a big way. If this defense under Orlando is here to stay on a week to week basis, wow! I'll have some more of that. It was awesome to see the defense flying around. I was in awe, even more exciting was that they were put in some very difficult situations and answered the call repeatedly.

[Vito Corleone]

With the way we are looking at Offensive line, I'd be just fine if we didn't fill his spot with another WR. I'm pretty happy with the guy we have that are solid. I'd much rather have 4 or 5 offensive linemen than 4 WRs. Also wouldn't mind a second running back seeing as we don't seem to have one on campus.

I hope we take 25 this cycle including 2 or 3 more offensive linemen, 1 more TE (who am I kidding, we ain't keeping that Juco), One more DT, one more LB, one more corner, and 2 more DEs.

Yes, because things don't change from week to week.

I have never wavered from my original prediction of 9 to 10 wins this year. I still think we split with the Oklahoma schools and we lose one other on our way to an 8-4 regular season finish and a bowl game win to make it a 9 win season. I've been pretty consistent about this.

I've also been pretty consistent about saying that it takes 4 games for a new coaching staff to imprint on their team. I think we are starting to see it now.

I think 7 wins is where they hit. 8 would be nice for them.

[Blake]

6-6 is a very real possibility.

[pgardn]

OU, TCU, Ok St. Difficult

The above puts us at 5 possibly.



Then K St, W. Virginia, TT not easy.

Kansas, Baylor, Iowa St. Should be easy, Iowa St may go up a category.

There is a whole range of possibilities, especially seeing how our 2 QBs hold up with a tattered Oline.

I think K-State will be tough, West Virginia a swing game and Texas Tech should be easy. These are my changes id make to the above.

[Vito Corleone]

Two teams I actually expect us to beat are ISU and KSU, mostly because Texas will be coming off a bi-week and ISU will be a chance to show off to friends and family on ESPN on a Thursday night game. KSU because it's a chance to keep momentum going and it's before Oklahoma.

We will be big underdogs to both Oklahoma and OSU, I expect to see us take that role and run with it, I think we split those two games.

After OSU I think Texas goes on a run with TCU being the only game that scares me, if we trip up I think that will be the game, if we win that game I think we trip up against WVU. Either way I don't see us getting out of the season with less than 4 losses. But that puts us in a good bowl game and I predict a bowl win for 9 win season.

Quotes from JUCO OL Badara Traore of Brooklyn, NY (OrangeBloods):

“I was excited (about the UT offer). Me and coach Warehime were talking for a little bit. One day he called me, said they were extending an offer. I was excited,” Traore said. “Texas is one of the top schools I’ve been dreaming about to play at. They play some big time ball at Texas. When he gave me that offer, I was excited.”

“I haven’t figured out an exact date, but I will be visiting the University of Texas,” Traore said. “I have no idea (on other visits) yet, but Texas is for sure one of them.”

“They told me that they needed a tackle because their left tackle is going into the draft, so they need someone to compete right away,” Traore said. “They felt I’m the right one out of everyone in JUCO. They sent me that offer, I was excited, I’ve always been a fan of Texas."

“Depth chart to me is very important as far as coming in in and playing. I’m not there to sit for two years. I want to play right away. Texas gives me that opportunity. That’s why I’m excited – the opportunity to compete right away, possibly play as a starting tackle.”

“They’re definitely up there. Texas is great program, coming up,” he said. “They’re definitely up there for me. It’s a great school as far as tradition, as far as what I’m looking for. I can’t wait to see it for myself when I get down there.”
