Every year the same pump up videos. Hopefully some day the results will be wins on the field. The vids do recharge my cool aid input , so there's that.

Awesome work.  Man, LB is very, very thin next year.  I honestly thought Devin Richardson had 3 year of eligibility when they picked him up last years.  Had no idea he was a Sr.

Hopefully we have at least two that will sign in December (Burrell and Lefau). I wonder if Gullette might be a candidate inside? We need to throw money at Hill (practice the SEC way) and show we are a better team than aggy.

Returnies and commits combined.

LB   7      DE  8        DT  8  23 for front 6 positionsmore than enough bodies

Talent?

After this season there will only be four eligible LB's on the team until signing day.

Probably don't want to rely on 3 true freshman LBs that much. Need to get some through the portal.

That's what I meant to portray, but eastex did it better. Hopefully the transfer portal sees more movement in regard to LB's.

Fully expect Texas to hit the portal hard on defense.

This is a great stat, but I wish it resulted in more sacks and/or ints though.

Just a honest question. What ill they do with the ones playing defense? Tell them good bye!

Good healthy competition.

True enough then we can complain about being so young. I could see this problem coming ntwo years ago. 5 LBS leaving srs. this year.

I think there will be players - invited to leave (in different words).  That’s the way of the world now.  But no one currently contributing.  Competition to stay on the field would do them some good   

Portal additions aren’t necessarily young.

No they are usualy srs. IMO portal should be used to fill two or three spaces of need. More than that messes numbers of freshmen in normal recruiting class. Which leads to proablems later.

Sark like most coaches wanted toget asmany of his players as possible.

Tome if Texas ever wants to regainnational status, coaches must evaluate, sign most of recruiting classfrom HighSchool and then develop them. And keep a balanced roster.

Really looking forwart to today'sgame could make or break season not to mention coaching staff.

TFloss y’all didn’t do staff prediction this week? I always like to see the thoughts.

The days of trying to fill a couple spots with Grad transfers is over. This is full on free agency and you fill as many spots as needed that way. Even highly rated 4 and 5 star kids are a risk.
