2023 Portal Recruiting (Opens December 5th)

With the portal closing in a few hours, IT mentioned they aren't hearing anything on any other Texas players deciding to transfer out.
 
My understanding is that while players must declare and submit the paperwork by midnight tonight, the schools from which they are transferring have 48 hours to input the information into the portal. So it is possible that a player who has decided to portal tonight may not be known until Tuesday. That is, unless he makes it known, as most seem to be doing.

So what I’m saying is that technically we’re not completely out of the woods with respect to potential players portaling from Texas until midnight Tuesday.
 
We want Malik to stay a Longhorn:headbang:
It was great seeing how happy he and his father were after Malik's outstanding play at Spring game.

But doesn't that mean that some **** has gone down with Ewers?

Don't get me wrong, I like playing whoever gives us the best chance for big plays and wins. But I don't see us as 2006 Florida with Leak and Tebow. If Murphy is playing, it's because something has gone horribly wrong.
 
From what I know about Murphy’s talent I feel that Sark will put him in at anytime, lead or not.
Back to portal news.
Seems that a bunch of pundits were hugely wrong on us losing more players to the portal. Proves the world is full of so called “experts” hoping to report negative crap.

Or it means that Sark has designed a package or two that he can insert Murphy at any time to discombobulate the defensive coordinators.

Sark has proven he is not apt to freely substitute qbs.
Personally, I have always believed that 2nd string qbs should play at least one series in every game. If a series is 3 and out, then one more series. I know there is only so many series a game, so caution must be taken.
I like a backup qb having some experience in stressful situations.

Not too many QB's get through the season unscathed. I suspect Ewers will miss at least a game or two again. OL is improving, but still not where it needs to be.

Pom,

With those thoughts, you must have pulled a two week drunk celebrating when Mack Brown left.

Actually, I had conflicting feelings when Brown was let go. He brought us back to prominence. But I think he lost his zeal and was burning out. I remember thinking he needed one season of sitting out to recharge his batteries.

I'm all in for the discombobulation offense!
As for those who believe we should insert 2nd string QB in every game regardless of the situation. Well, I'm betting those same folks would be the first to say "Why in the hell did Sark put QB2 in and lose the game for us?!?" when the less experienced QB throws a pick 6 to lose.
Regardless, I'd like to see a healthy dose of MM against overmatched opponents.

a half empty glass type of guy I see.

Suppose the first string throws a pick six. Will he come in the next series because we suppose the second the 2nd string will throw a pick six also since he is not as good as the first string?

Nope, I'm def a glass half full type - positive about the Horns in virtually every circumstance. Would like to see more of that from some. Wouldn't yank #1 for a pick 6 because he's #1 for a reason and #2 is that for a reason too.

This was one of several near fatal flaws with Mack Brown. Hey, he did take us to the Promised Land, so there’s that.

All throughout the 2009 season I was begging him (figuratively, of course) to play Gilbert. Although many games were contested well into the 2nd half, MB had plenty of opportunities to play the backup. True, Gilbert was excellent for much of the Alabama game but the additional experience he didn’t get during the 2009 season could have translated into a win that night in January.

56 of 85 scholarship players at CU are gone? Not sure if this is crazy or genius, but changes are for real in Boulder.

so obviously they'll suck next year and he has the prefect excuse. he can promise early playing time to top recruits telling them they'll be drafted after 3 years.

i'd hate this if i was an alum, but i'm not so whatever lol
 
Coaching Jackson State in the SAC differs dramatically from coaching a D1 in the PAC. Yet, taking over a 1-11 team would make anyone look like a genius. That’s probably why he took “that” job.

Sanders will win six or seven games this year, be on the cover of every magazine, and all over social media as he seeks and will revel in the attention. He always does. After that he will probably top out at about eight wins.
