What's the word on McDonald, the kid out of Waco?

He had a farm. Film at 11.

Duce

I thought that was possibly a flip hint.  To me, it's Moore if it actually means something.

Agreed it’s probably Moore or Lane.

It can mean sarcasm or resigned frustration. My guess would be that either Moore or Robinson is not coming to Texas...or neither is coming.

You know we might could get somewhere if this Sark and staff figured this recruiting out ??

No in all seriousness, if they can stacking talent like they have the last couple of cycles the wins are going to be there. We saw it this year in that we improved greatly and were a few plays from probably being 11-1. The team is just mostly so young. Quinn get another year under his belt and the OL get another year and man it’s going to be a good time for us. Also the defense great improvement this year and the recruits they have defensively. I’m not ready to drink the Kool-Aid just yet but man things are looking exciting on the 40.

Here's my PSA for this morning. You are missing the boat if you don't follow the On3 Consensus ranking. It is the only composite that equally weighs the 4 recruiting ranking services. You can also pull up any player and see a side-by-side ranking for each of the 4 ranking sites for that player. Plus several sorting features by team and by player.

Here's a perfect example of why you should follow one of the 2 composite rankings. Although one is better than the other ?

The On3 Consensus has Akana ranked as the 102nd best player in the country. 247 has him ranked 34th, ESPN has him 113th, Rivals 121st, and On3 286th. Not uncommon for one or two of the services to have extreme outlying numbers like this. And they take turns being the outlier.

And ESPN has ou higher than Texas in the overall rankings.... hmm.

Okay TC, I'll try to save some koolaid for you, but man it's going to be in great demand next year. Some of us are just slow learners.

I'd rather enjoy nine months of great expectations than nine months of fear of disappointment.

A live look at my family Christmas party. Truckloads of Koolaid arriving daily.??

 

[okiehorn]

kids all over the place. I see the portal in his future 

 

[texbound]

Is it safe to believe that Texas is done with 23 HS recruits other than Jelani McDonald and possibly (long shot) Duce Robinson?

I'm going to assume DeAndre Moore will not be part of this class moving forward.

Time to turn our attention to the transfer portal.  What are the biggest priorities there?  1 each at WR and S stand out to me.  Maybe at DL as well.

No some of us have been through 12 years of mostly terrible football with a win sprinkled in every now and then to get our hopes up. Seeing teams that don’t recruit in the top 25 hammer our teams and watch their players and fans do the horns down. Or talk about how 5 star culture is better than 5 star players. Man I could go on and on. These kids nowadays don’t have a clue who Earl Campbell or Ricky Williams or even Vince Young. That’s why I am cautiously optimistic. I have wished for every one of these coaches to be successful and for many reasons it hasn’t worked out. I sincerely hope Sark is the one. Cheers on the Kool-Aid, here’s hoping it works.

In the end rankings mean less than good evaluations.

Mike Singletery being the perfect example.....

Me neither... but I'm stirring in the sugar.
