  3. Nether recruit NT has lost are likely to be missed. Both left because of connections to other school's coaching staffs. Both are going to conference mates with IMO a lot less to offer. UTSA is way down in facilities. The state of Florida has a lot going for it, and FAU has had a lot of success; but still little support. It is up to the NT coaching staff to just find better prospects. It also opens up slots for potential transfers. UTSA and FAU are reaping the benefits of a coaching change. If I were NT, I would look at the commits of these two schools and see if if there are any that NT might covet committed by the previous staff. UTSA would be particularly vulnerable, but there are probably few on their list that NT would be interested in.

  4. Saw it on Instagram a while back and was going to see if they did a story on it. As of now they haven’t so thought I should share. Wish him the best of luck! Will always remember his game winners against Army and LA Tech GMG!

  9. Questionable view IMO. Texas doesn't produce enough high school talent to make twelve in-state teams winners plus at the same time exporting a large portion of the top talent to the national power teams. Not producing enough linemen because what. Texas teams play with only skill players? Linemen have always been at a premium because of the size required. There are in comparison many more players that fit the usual dimensions of QB, RB, WR, and DB, LB's. Finding big players is not the challenge, but finding big players that are quick enough to play college ball are.

  11. Now, for sure. Not looking forward to us having to face that hurdle. Good news is how well we have recruited the Houston area. That has to keep happening, especially now

  12. Well, we lost this one to UTSA. Not one of our higher ranked recruits, but one that still shows a lot of potential. Best of luck to him in San Antonio. It's a little further drive but still an ideal situation if he already has a brother playing there and his family can watch both play.

  16. He might not have taken any actual action, but being in that situation, turning blind eyes and letting it perpetuate is not a good look. I think others have explained the anti-Briles details enough on this board. It was a few months ago, and I don’t want to dig it up. This would be an entirely different convo if Baby Briles was the one that exposed the situation and rat on his dad. But he didn’t. And I would be skeptical if someone insisted that he didn’t know what was going on.

  17. I am not sure how baby Briles served any punishment. Seems he has been pretty employed since.

  18. I understand your thought process, but at some point people have to forgive. They both have served their punishment and if there is no forgiveness in this world then a lot of us would not be where we are today. Just my opinion. I would be okay with the hire. Baylor is long behind us. To be honest, I think the Briles were just the scapegoats in a system that was corrupt from the top down. Again, just my opinion.

  19. To make this claim you'd have to show me a decline in all Texas teams overall records over the last 20ish years because that should show the impact of the spread offense. Houston, Baylor, TCU, and Texas Tech are looking better now than they were pre-2000. UNT, Rice, SMU, UTEP, and Texas have all stayed about the same. A&M is probably the one school I'd say has gotten worse over that time frame because they had some good years pre-Big 12. UTSA and Texas State are still new so I won't include them since they wouldn't have history to show any movement. I went and looked at their historical records because I was honestly curious if you were onto something, but since 9/10 teams showed improvement or little to no change I think it's fair to say we should look at other factors besides this one.

  24. I know this will be a very unpopular opinion, but so be ii...in my ever so humble opinion Bassey was in no way ready for the pros. The times I saw him play...including tournament games against the Mean Green, he showed to be a good player, but hardly dominate. I just never saw the "lottery pick", "best player in CUSA", "dominate player", etc. Did he have the potential to improve and be that player? Perhaps so, but no way, my opinion, was he NBA ready. He would be yet another guy who was overrated by himself and others and who ended up in Europe, Asia, or South America to play a few years and disappear off everyone's radar. This injury really sucks for hi. If he was a "potential lottery pick" why did he not purchase insurance against such an injury when he decided to come back to college for another year. Who was advising this kid? Or, did he listen to advisors (his Dad probably)? Don't know. Anyway, I do wish him the very best in his recovery. Sorry we won't see him play against the Mean Green this year. I would have loved to see if he had improved any from the times I saw him play. God sped in your recovery young man.

  38. There’s a lot of high school football that doesn’t rely n Chunk & Duck offenses. Go watch Aledo today. Amarillo Tascosa runs a triple option out of the flex bone. Gunter does too. Brock runs the slot T. All very successful at it. Even as of this season L.D. Bell has changed to a run based flex bone offense. Football kids that love the sport love the contact, and those kids also love to win. So there’s plenty of football talent in Texas and throughout the country to operate a physical run-blocking style offense if that’s what the coach wants to run. Rick

  39. I'm not sold. If TX lacks size and physicality, the TX programs can go to another state to recruit. It's not like they're limited to Texas recruits. But you've given this much more thought than I have.

  43. Yes, but OU has always gotten texas kids to go there. LSU is basically doing what Arkansas used to do back in the old SWC days. But I think the real issue here is that these schools are getting the Texas HS kids that will compliment their styles, which is not depending on them to be great at playing the lines or linebackers. A&M looks slow and weak compared to their SEC brethren. Even OU looks weak when they go play in the playoffs against these other power schools. On our level, our CUSA West teams must just love feasting on our weak teams from this state. La Tech, UAB, and USM have just whipped our asses for a while now. I really don’t know how this gets fixed. I used to think Gary Patterson had the right idea, but his TCU teams have really fallen back in the last few seasons on defense. Baylor did have a heckuva defense this past season, compared to everyone else in the state. Maybe Rhule is going to be the one who plays chess when everyone else plays checkers, like Patterson did. This is why I thought DMac had the right idea here with focusing on developing linemen and being physical. Unfortunately, he couldn’t recruit anyone with talent to come here on offense, since nobody runs his old school offense. Combine that with his inability to even understand modern QB play and we fell completely down to a level that should have never been reached. All I know is that teams like Memphis, UCF, Cincy, La Tech, UAB, USM, and the must love playing our college teams.

  44. You may be on to something. Only 5 Texas High School programs are too 25 nationally. They are correct that talent has been leaving the state though. Of the playoff teams. OU has 42 Texas players including their top passer, top rusher, top 2 receivers, and top 2 tacklers. LSU has 15 Texas players including Thorpe winner Delpit. OSU has 6 including their leading rusher JK Dobbins. Clemson has 1, a starting right end who was Gene Stallings grandson.

  45. Agree 100%! I have discussed this with Wren, Jared, and others, but they simply "don't get it", and I don't get why they don't get it! Seems simple to me...the old Pit Crew was definitely formidable, fun to watch and they gave opposing team benches and coaches heck! Pit Crew area definitely needs to return and it would also cut down on folks sitting in other peoples' reserved seats. BTW...hiring those ushers for each game is VERY expensive for the athletic dept. Since that is so...they should at least work a little for their money...don't ya think?

  46. It was.. 1st trip to the Big Dance in school history in Salt Lake City, which I fortunately got to travel with the team to. Beat Texas Tech in football in Lubbottocks, beat Rice in Houston, the team was ranked #1 in FCS for 6-8 weeks which brought the DFW media up to Denton many times to cover the program. A great time while it lasted for sure. Rick
