Yessir! What's up, rjv?

Crappy start for both of our teams with RB injuries.

Hope you're doing well.

[pgardn]

Bobby Burton made a good point about the 2 RB loses.
Basically said these were our two most physical runners going against physical lines in the SEC.

An Aggie to be respected. :bobo
So happy Texas is playing ATM again.

devastating starts. terrible for those kids, too. they were both primed for breakout seasons. i'm doing well, btw; still keeping up with the local high school talent. (Steele is loaded this year.)

Two potential tough ones to open the year with Liberty Hill and Reagan.

I think my kids will end up at Reagan, so we've been going to games and I'm sure that will be one we attend.

. . . and then westlake on the road, after Brandeis. Hell of a schedule. My son is finally a frosh at Steele. The Reagan game will be a good one.

IT said today they don't expect LB Derion Gullette to make the switch to offense despite getting some work at RB.

As far as picking up the slack at RB, OTF thinks TE Juan Davis will be used in short yardage situations.

[TFloss32]

FYI there is no practice today.

247 released their initial 2027 rankings today.

Every Texas offer for that class is on the front page if you haven't taken a look yet.

DeSoto had two sophomore move-ins in LB DJ Rumph (California) ATH Myson Johnson-Cook (Illinois), and both already have Georgia offers.

Not saying it's related, but interesting that the two new DT offers tonight are for prospects committed to schools (Arkansas, Florida) that will likely be firing their coaches before the early signing period.

Just something to keep in mind as we get closer to the end of the year, and I don't expect the staff to give up on Myron Charles.

I wonder how much Dline coaches use Olinemen as a recruiting tool.

”You are going to be practicing everyday against some of the most talented o linemen in college football.

Sorry I was lazy with this one, but the link below is the 2024 roster breakdown by class and position.

Good ! That would not be an improvement over home and home games.

Obvious thing would be moving the game back to Thanksgiving night, but I honestly don't know.

[Blake]

Obvious thing would be moving the game back to Thanksgiving night, but I honestly don't know.

I can't get a feel if A&M is happy about this game again or not.

[pgardn]

I think something was said about the Athletics directors from UT and ATM meeting to make a cup/trophy for the school who does the best in a number of sports.
Im thinking we, meaning UT, will win this every year if it involves the same sports as the Directors Cup.

This new competition better take into account which school can most accurately measure how much methane cows release by farting and or burping.
And I think we have a couple of judges for this new competition.

[pgardn]

I hope Jerry and his world are not trying to make this a neutral site for the game.
That would be absolutely a hideous idea as would Houston.

This game MUST be home and home. Both teams already have neutral site games with UT and Oklahoma being a real honest to God neutral game. The Cotton Bowl is absolutely split down the middle.
The Arky ATM game not so much. Color the game a Jerry Failure trying to make this a real rivalry game as Arky and ATM hate UT much more than they hate each other.

[Billybass]

I hope Jerry Jones is no where near anything connected to the horns.
It would be a shit stain on our program. And that is from a lifelong cowboy fan.

1823896895716049150

Mbatchou told IT he will be in Austin at some point this season for a visit.

“I’m excited to get to know everyone and everything,” Mbatchou told Inside Texas. “And to see if the saying ‘everything is bigger in Texas’ is accurate.”

[TFloss32]

Something to keep an eye on are rumors out there about DB Kade Phillips of Fort Bend Hightower flipping to LSU.

IT saying they wouldn't be shocked if that's what he does, but questions why he would do it now as opposed to waiting a little longer to see how each team progresses throughout the season.

https://247sports.com/player/kade-phillips-46131783/

[TFloss32]

IT traveled to Ruston, LA this week to see CB Aidan Anding and he let them know he's "97% sure" he's going to commit before his season starts, plus his mother wants him to wrap up the process.

He speaks with a handful of Louisiana natives on the Texas team, including CB Wardell Mack and S Derek Williams, Jr.

Depending on what intel you read, it's possible this one comes down to Arkansas vs. Texas even though the late LSU offer earlier this summer threw him off of his original timeline.

https://247sports.com/player/aidan-anding-46144297/

[TFloss32]

OTF reporting the staff has been "very happy" with how RB Jerrick Gibson has stepped up after the recent injuries.

They expect him to have a role immediately.

[TFloss32]

IT mentioned an offensive player that needs to step up his efforts, but didn't reveal the name.

OTF had a similar report saying WR Matthew Golden didn't have a great scrimmage last weekend, and he's someone who needs to rebound quickly as Sark begins to solidify his WR rotations.

[TFloss32]

For the starters at CB, OTF is expecting Gavin Holmes to be the guy opposite Malik Muhammad.

Holmes is supposedly the fastest and longest corner on the team, along with improving his physicality from last year.

http://www.hudl.com/v/2MEmMN

OTF spoke with Guthrie and there's a genuine interest in Texas and playing with QB Dia Bell.

Longhorns will "most definitely be a player" going forward.

[TFloss32]

OTF was at North Crowley earlier this week to watch '26 five-star OL John Turntine III.

They say Texas is at the top of his list, and he's attempting to attend the Michigan and Georgia games.

He has two older sisters currently living in Austin, one attending Texas and the other at Huston-Tillotson.

https://247sports.com/player/john-turntine-iii-46140733/

[TFloss32]

Notes on two other 2026s from OTF...

- they also saw OL target Toa Katoa of Euless Trinity recently and he would have Texas in his Top 3 currently if he released a list. He is only one of a handful of juniors who could pick up the phone and commit to Sark right now. They believe he'll end up picking a school within driving distance of home.

- WR Zion Robinson from Mansfield High, who was offered after he camped in Austin this summer, will be a true academic/athletic combo type of recruitment with Stanford being the dream offer. A&M and Texas will be taken seriously as well. Robinson's father is the track coach at TCU, which is also his alma mater, and he was an Olympian in the 800m.

I'd hope that's not it, especially with Texas looking good with J. Williams at safety.

I talked to Phillips a while back when he was offered, and he said the staff simply wanted him in the secondary.

He can clearly play corner.

[Blake]

Speaking for my A&M buddies, they're just as thrilled it's back but would've preferred Texas not being good again for the first meeting in 13 years.

[TFloss32]

Small town DT committed to Baylor, and he tore up one of the Under Armour camps back in the spring.

https://x.com/GPBsports/status/1824603680022130717

[pgardn]

These are really tough losses. Am I getting carried away that I don't think Texas should be ranked #4 to start the seasons without them?

Honestly I dont give a squat about rankings.
I just want us to play well. Its been a very tough road.
I really was not satisfied with some of our close games last year in conference yet we were clearly the best team in the conf while losing to OU. That stinks for me.

The rest is tldr...

We still have more talent than we have had in a very long time (from my experience) I get tired of hearing about the 60-70s teams from older folks (dad mostly)
I want really good games consistently while I have as understanding of what is going on and who the players are.

Michigan is the first great test. Their Defensive line, especially the Dtackles, are very good (supposed 1st rounders). They have a lock down corner.
I want us to solve that problem with new RBs (Blue had pretty significant time later last year) and a brand new receiving group.
I want our defense to force a running team into 3rd and long. (even after losing a 1st and 2nd round DTs) BTW I think Michigan's RB is much better than Corum from last year.

I think I expect too much, but based on all the new rules concerning obtaining players we have zero excuse to not expect to be good every year.
I think our coach is learning how to win games in which we get a good lead. When we get ahead I want us to pound teams into submission, like the last 8 minutes of the Alabama game.
No real fancy stuff needed at that point. I still dont totally trust our defensive coaches. No excuses in the 2ndary this year, we have more speed and better players.

When we actually get into football, and we know our team, then we might have legit excuses with injuries etc... If we were to lose Banks, Ewers, and AntHill during the season, then we have real excuses.
Aside: I am very happy about what is being said about Silas Bolden. This is a "worthy" replacement as more than just a WR.

[pgardn]

Yah I know aggie fans that are happy to have the game going again, but I mean the school as a whole. I mean, who was it that was so mad to push them to leave in the first place? Are they happy?

Imo the Aggies are resigned to their fate because the playoff system gives them a chance.
If I was an ATM fan, and UT and OU moved in, this makes the conference much, much more difficult for them.
But with the possible 4 out of conference being horrid, it makes their record palatable. (This year they got ND so only 3)
So an easier in conference schedule with tougher opponents at home, they have hope this year. But I would be very afraid of the future.

Imo the SEC should only have 3 out of conference games and we should play OU, ATM, and Arky every year. Simply because they hate us and that makes it fun. Well, OU has not been fun but its a great game.

[pgardn]

These are really tough losses. Am I getting carried away that I don't think Texas should be ranked #4 to start the seasons without them?

I completely forgot pass protection.
I believe Baxter was considered the best of the backs.
Lets see how the replacements handle this.

OU has beaten us way too damn much. But there is no way I want that game canceled. That is the thing that is hard for me to understand about the Aggies. Why would they want such a tremendous rivalry game canceled ?
The Aggie hatred for the horns runs deep. Some of those guys are fanatical about hating Texas.
So why wouldn’t you want a chance to beat us ? Especially the last few years before Sark got us turned around.
Hard for me to understand

Well you guys throw tortillas.
And when you had Mike Leach you not only irritated them with his personality, you backed it up and beat them... I think the series under Leach was like 10-4 in favor of Tech?
Longhorn fans of course will never forget Crabtree and Blake Gideon. My dad wont.

Vince Young against USC and James Street v. Arkansas are the games and the performances I have heard the most about.
I would ask the UT fans on this site what game and Player(s) they think would go above the aforementioned.

As far as heartbreak; What I have heard the most about is TT and Crabtree. Again I would ask UT fans what was worse as far as heartbreak. The pummeling's have been numerous. They are in different category.

Recently offered DL Caleb Bell from Milton, GA told 247 he should be visiting Austin within a few weeks.

"It felt really good to receive the (Texas) offer," Bell told Horns247. "I have been wanting it for a long time. It makes me feel like (I'm getting) better."

"I've always liked how the school is, how the football team is, how many players at my position they've taken to the league," he said. "They're a really good team."

"It's really good," Bell said of his connection with UT defensive line coach Kenny Baker. "He expressed how much he wanted me and what his position is and how he got the job and everything."

Something to keep an eye on are rumors out there about DB Kade Phillips of Fort Bend Hightower flipping to LSU.

[TFloss32]

IT traveled to Ruston, LA this week to see CB Aidan Anding and he let them know he's "97% sure" he's going to commit before his season starts, plus his mother wants him to wrap up the process.

He speaks with a handful of Louisiana natives on the Texas team, including CB Wardell Mack and S Derek Williams, Jr.

Depending on what intel you read, it's possible this one comes down to Arkansas vs. Texas even though the late LSU offer earlier this summer threw him off of his original timeline.

OTF reporting there are two home games the staff is emphasizing this season when it comes to recruiting.

Georgia on October 19th is obviously one, where it will likely be easier to make a list of recruits not attending.

The other will be against Mississippi State on September 28th, which is an afternoon start making travel time easier for many prospects and it will be a lively weekend celebrating the SEC opener.

Kentucky on November 23rd is potentially a third being the last regular season home game that's two weeks before the early signing period, but it will depend on what Texas targets are still uncommitted.

One important note I missed myself is the early signing period being moved to the first week of December instead of being closer to Christmas.

For the 2025 class, they can sign from December 4th - 6th.

This move was made to help teams solidify most of their recruiting class before the transfer portal opens once the regular season concludes.

OL Nick Brooks of Loganville, GA on his commitment to Texas (On3):

“The official visit really changed things for me,” Brooks told On3. “Texas brought me in like family and me and my family loved it. Georgia was ahead in the spring, then I went on a visit to Texas. Seeing the atmosphere there and being around the people made it closer."

“Then on the official visit, I knew. That is really when I made my decision. How I felt on the official visit pushed Texas to the top. They got the last visit, so after I had that feeling, I sat down with my family and talked it out."

“In the end, after taking some time to myself and thinking things over, I knew it was Texas. Texas is the school that had my heart.”

“Texas has a lot that I like. It is a great coaching staff, I love the vibe in Austin and they have a great brotherhood, but seeing how my family felt around the school and the coaches played a big part in my decision. My mom and my little bother had a great experience on the visit, the coaches made them feel like family and that really stood out to me."

“How the coaches took me in made a big difference too. They started recruiting me in the spring, they recruited me hard, they built some great relationships and they showed so much love that I felt like the president.”

“Coach Steve Sarkisian was the head coach I had the best relationship with,” Brooks said. “I talked to a lot of head coaches, but our talks were different. He was always checking on me and making sure I was keeping my head up. Coach Sarkisian kept things positive and he was just easy for me to talk to.”

“Coach Flood has put many linemen in the NFL at the different schools he has been at. He is a smart guy who can develop players and I like how he coaches. We have a good relationship, he has real knowledge of the offensive line and I know he can help me get where I want to go.”

I will conclude that losing height while gaining weight means his physical size is very manageable.
We should be able to mold him to an appropriate size as he is huuuuge!

And a whole year to go in hs….
He could be 6’ 0” and 1/4 a ton next we see him.
