My poor memory can not remember when TT did not have a pretty good passing QB plus fair recievers.

They did have pretty good QBs, but there was a reason they were going all out for a caliber QB like Ewers last year in the portal. They have no one on their roster near the Ewers/Manning level.  All I'm saying is if I was a WR and it was a pure football decision, Ewers/Manning trumps anything TT has.  Hell, Murphy would likely be their clear cut #1 right now.  Not saying that as a bad thing because I really, really like Murphy.  However, he has major comp at Texas and will be fighting to be #2.

 
Word is we had a certain 4-star DE from Arizona wanting to commit last weekend and we told him to slow it down.

Anyone know about this?

All the ones on that list before Hudson are easier to swallow now based on our QB situations during those lean years.  Plus, you factor in Herman (not Stewart) and Strong eras and the turmoil that followed.  I 100% agree with you there.

However, there is nothing you can do about Hudson picking TT over a Ewers/Manning led offense during his time.  That my friend is what you call an anomaly.

The fact Herman didn’t offer Jackson Smith-Ngiba was a major head scratcher

I agree, but you misspelled NIL in the last sentence.

I doubt NIL was a deciding factor.  He presumably grew up a Tech fan, and they were apparently able to convince him that they would be able to prepare him as well as TX for the NFL. He will get more targets, but also more double teams. Assuming he plays up to his apparent potential he will be ready for the NFL whichever team he chooses.

On QBS has Horns ever had a QB that won a pro. championship?

Let me introduce you to Bobby Layne. He led the Detroit Lions to the NFL championship in 1952, 1953, and 1957. In the 1957 season, he was the starter the entire season before breaking his leg in the 11th game (they only played 12 back then). But they did go on to win the championship. 

In 1954 they were going for the 3 peat but got beat in the championship game, a loss that Layne explained by saying "I got too much sleep last night". Let's just say Layne was known partier.  

 
We got awinner. I remember when Cherry took a single tailback and made a T formation QB. Layne also coacheda all starteam that beat Penn. all stars so bad they canceled next years game.

 
Most recruiting boards think Modon will decommit. He is Texas's highest ranked player

.If he leaves Georgia's 1 thriugh 15 players are ranked higher than any Horns player for 2024. If he stays only 10 ranked above him.

And yes I know Texas has 5 and Georgia has 19. Bulldogs did not rise to top recruiting low 4*. They joined Ala. and went out and got the best. And if Texas is going to compete in SEC they will have to do this every year. 

And yes Texas will get some high ranked recruits later.

 
According to IT, there continues to be positive communication with OL Brandon Baker since his official to Austin last weekend, and there's some growing confidence on Texas' side of things.

The interesting note is Baker saying he doesn't have any plans to visit Oregon again before a decision, but he will head to Georgia this weekend.

One person commented "it sounds like Texas is running a close second," and Hamilton responded he wasn't so sure about that hinting Texas may have pulled ahead.

I believe Baker's mom is Polynesian and got very close with Lefau and Akana's moms if I'm not mistaken. Small thing, but might be helping a bit to have that connection.

IT saying OL Nate Kibble of Humble Atascocita will be in Austin this weekend.

They followed up on Kibble this morning saying this shouldn't be seen as just a normal official, and that Texas would very likely accept a commitment.

It was said he's no lock for A&M (there is a heavy Ag influence at Humble Atascocita) and him moving up his commitment timeline recently is noteworthy.
