Just need Caleb Burton to complete the cipha.
Da hell happened to BJ Foster? I hope he didn't really quit the team.
He hasn't. Was at his position group meeting and lifted weights with the team today. Not entirely sure what happened on the sideline last night.
OB getting reckless with the headlines.
There's been too much drama in that room tho. A couple of those '18 kids not taking getting passed up on the depth chart very well.
Dude wasn't good last year but he was injured damn near all season and was out there playing with one shoulder. They really wanted to move him to LB in camp, but he came in light asf at 195, likely on purpose. I still like him at safety, and a safety rotation of Sterns, Brown, and Foster should be really good. There are some concerns about his behavior possibly being part of a bigger problem(mental health) because dude has some wild emotional swings.
BJ came into last year listed as a starter at the nickel position, he's now backing up Chris Brown at safety. BJ has much more upside than CB but Brown is a coach's favorite and captain this season. Adimora passed up Cook.
Speaking of which, Adimora is built like a NFL player.

Just rewatched the game. Adimora is going to need to step it up in coverage, he is young and will probably struggle against the better teams. Watson II as well. Latter is too athletic to still be getting beat deep. DL held up against the run pretty well, UTEP QB was getting the ball out quick so tough to gauge the pass rush but it did appear the DL was beating their opponent off the line of scrimmage. Overshown was everywhere.
OL might be the weakest link on the team. Pass blocking was fine but the run blocking sucked ass. Didn't get a real push at the line of scrimmage. We are really deep at WR, 3 deep at RB, I hope Sam's accuracy downfield has improved that is likely going to determine how the offense goes against tougher opponents.
No word on Whittington yet, Jake Smith should play against Tech unless he has a set back.
BJ Foster did quit on the sidelines last night, but has met with the coaches and owned up to his fukk up. They have allowed him back on the team. May not play for a couple of games though.
This is a good dude. I'm really pulling for J-Moore.
Breh I rewatched bits and pieces of the game on Youtube, this might be the best weapons on offense I've seen in many years. It's not just the receivers, we are a legit three deep at running back, and we have some good tight ends finally. I liked what I saw from that entire unit (Brewer, Wiley, and Liebrock). A lot of good blocking from Wiley and Schooler too. I just wish the oline would move people off the LOS more. Hand is highly suspect to me breh. With a better line, I feel like Ingram would be a top 3 back in the nation. I love the way he runs.
With his putrid recruiting in '21 the OL better perform this year or Hand is out.
When Hayden committed people legit wondered if we should have taken his commitment because at the time the Brock's, Foster, DJack, and Byrd were all leans and now we are likely going to go 0-5 out of that group. Granted Hayden is underrated at this point as he has vastly improved but still now dude is our best OL recruit. Also Javonne stop going to class because he thought he'd never get his shot with what was coming in '21 and that didn't even play out. Dude would have likely won the RT job this year since Hoofkin got moved inside and Tyler Johnson and Reese Moore haven't developed yet. Carrington is going to be more involved in '22 OL recruiting but yeah it's going to suck if the OL holds this team back.
Remember when Oscar Giles was catching all the flack for the "poor recruiting"?
Next year's dline will most likely have...
Joseph Ossai (I don't think he leaves early)
Keondre Coburn
Alfred Collins
Vernon Broughton
Moro Ojomo
Jordan Thomas
Jatavion Sanders
Derrick Harris Jr
That's SEC size and strength Giles has successfully recruited to Texas the last few classes, yet I feel like he caught way more flack than Hand is now.
I wish we could have Sam back one more year with this dline talent next season. I think we'd be in the title race.
