    2027 Recruiting Thread

    That's just it, it's the perception that counts. Other teams, like TT and aggie, can trot this out to Recruits and say whatever. I'm sure Texas can counter with stuff but it can still hurt. I don't like it, especially when relatives and friends point stuff like this out. And both those teams...

    If Tech is involved that means they are throwing some money around to land him. I don't think anyone is going to outbid them. I guess it will depend on if he is in it for just the money.

    Final mid week game for Texas

    Not too shabby. I'm just not convinced we found a 4th and 5th starter. The bullpen is a little inconsistent for a long run in the playoffs. I think we can make it to Omaha, but not sure how far we will go. This is a problem all teams have so it will come down to who can answer the call.

    Who's on your Longhorn team?

    Can you imagine having to play defense against Vince and Earl in the backfield? Truly a nightmare for any defense. Let's add a little speed with Worthy and I'll take Thomas.

    Please don't stop. I like seeing who we get. I don't really follow HS football so am completely ignorant of players. The guy could be the next Walter Payton but I wouldn't know. I don't get on as often in the off season, plus just got back from a vacation.

    2026 – Which player emerges to big time this year?

    Captain Obvious here. Manning will be in NY at the end of the year. Will he win the Heisman? Don't know but he will be in the conversation. I need to think about D.

    Volantis starter or closer -- you choose and why

    I'm going to disagree with you here. I think finding a closer should be one of your top priorities. If you have 2 good starters and set up men and a closer, you can win 2 out of 3 most of the time. That could mean if your best closer is one of your top 3 starters, even your best starter, you put...

    Texas visits Houston for a mid week game

    Just to play devil's advocate, I know this might be frustrating to us fans, but you have to find out now who you can depend on in your bullpen for later. Game situation is completely different from practice/simulated game. You can't develop players until you see what they can or can't do in...

    Sweet 16 – #11 Longhorns vs #2 Purdue

    I consider this a successful first season for Miller. They've gone farther in the tournament than I thought they would.

    maybe I'm just an old timer, but I don't get it. Why would you do something like that?

    Spring Football 2026

    I agree that a lot of schools will become more of a "minor league" system. Unless it's a small P4 team, I'm just worried about the level of competition.

    Spring Football 2026

    I believe we have every chance to be better than last year in all offensive categories. The main question mark for me is the O-Line. I'm a little concerned with linebacker because of what we've lost. But then I like an aggressive D that Muschamp will bring over Coach K's bend but don't break D.

    Spring Football 2026

    Not so fast my friend. Sorry if I'm a little skeptical, but getting linemen from some non P4 schools doesn't really instill a lot of confidence in me. Sure, they could have developed in their 3-4 years of playing and become a P4 starter but I'm not convinced until I see it. That's a big step up...

    Volantis starter or closer -- you choose and why

    If he wants to be a starter and the coaches agree he could be a good one, then let him give it a try. The jury is still out whether he can be the #3 starter. He doesn't consistently get passed the 6th inning. But he is young and can get stronger. When it comes to the playoffs you need 5...
