We are the Joneses - The Official Texas Longhorns Athletics Thread

[dtownreppin214]

Every player on that bus would be running gassers til somebody snitch. Then I'd run the kid til he quit

These new kids don't realize not everything meant to be shared for the world. Dumb ass attention seeking generation

They just need to pull the white player in the video and ask him who was sitting behind him. Case closed.

Texas Longhorns vs Houston Baptist Huskies


Looks like Beard has changed the culture already. Not sure I have seen the Erwin center this packed with this much energy for an early season game.

Take notes Sark.

The Texas womens team won by 95? How does that happen in sports? I’m fact, why does those type of scores continuously happen in WBB?

I hate this team.

Roster needs a complete overhaul.

Dude on IT posted this info about the team:

Spoiler

Some stuff I know:

Some of the SEC transfers in this offseason were utterly disgusted with the approach that the players already here took to offseason practice and S&C. Said that players in the SEC approach the game and season with a completely different intensity and the players here were mostly just having a good time. Said the coaches who came from the SEC were similarly surprised and disappointed.

After spring practice the coaches were not bullish on the talent left on the roster.

The coaches were extremely excited about Hudson Card, but noted he was late with his throws and often held the ball too long and took sacks.

I thought we were an 8 win team, but that’s partially because I didn’t predict Baylor improving. I thought that because I predicted difficulty at QB (although no one expects the Spanish Inquisition), continued underperformance at TE, bad WRs, bad linebackers, and an average at best OL. I expected more of the defense, but clearly I got that wrong too. For the most part, except Baylor, its gone more or less as expected.



Some stuff I think I know:

As a group, the WRs were viewed as shockingly low on talent and the most probable group targeted for roster turnover. I suspect we will also have a new WR coach next season.

S&C is not magical. You get out of it what you put in. Maybe the new regime isn’t any good, more likely 95% of what they do is the same **** every S&C program anywhere does and the players who haven’t responded aren’t self starters like the staff is used to.

The majority of the roster enjoys being at Texas and in Austin more than it enjoys working extremely hard year round to maximize performance in games.

Guys who previously coached at Alabama are used to players not needing a lot of external motivation. Alabama players are trying to go to the NFL and know that there are 5 stars behind them who will happily perform in their place. For this regime to work, this staff is going to have to recognize we don’t have guys with that same internal motivation, we have guys who worked hard (sometimes) for Herman due to fear or prodding. Going to have to figure out a way to improve that.



Some stuff no one knows:

If 2022 is going to be any better/different, we are going to have to find an edge rusher or two, at least one starting safety, at least one starting linebacker, at least two starting WRs, several pieces on the OL and, most importantly, a quarterback. Most of that is going to have to be addressed in the portal. I don’t know if we can do that.

The staff is going to have to do a hard internal evaluation about how it sets out motivating this team. These second half swan songs are not capacity, they are intensity and desire. I don’t know if they can do that, but Sark needs to hire an ******* somewhere.

They need to add someone with Texas high school ties. Baylor got good on that. Traylor has made hay on that. We don’t have that and I don’t know where we get that.

I’m not convinced that they can figure out how to adjust with the lower level of talent we have. With Herman, we wanted big boy coaches. Now we have big boy coaches who want players who can’t do what they ask. Different disconnect, same result. Unsure these guys will get there.

We’re going to have nail evaluations because money isn’t a differentiator anymore. Everyone does NIL. We aren’t unique. I don’t know if these guys have that in them or not.

I agree with most of that except hiring someone with Texas high school ties. We have Chris Gilbert for that. But the staff is going to have to find a way to get what we need from the portal by any means necessary.

That'd be too easy. Exactly what those players would want

I wonder if we can pull Rattler out of the Portal?

They need to do whatever they can to get the Brockermeyer twins too.

Apparently there are some backdoor communications going on with a bigger fish at QB. We honestly need help at every position group on this team though. Its almost to the point where it appears Charlie left this team in better condition than Herman did.

Yea man its so many holes to fill. Hopefully the incoming freshman come in hungry for a starting position because its definitely attainable.

 

[SnugglesDaBear]

CBs for Evan Stewart and Jacoby Matthews to A&M coming in. Lol this is a nightmare for you guys.


When are you guys going to get another black QB1?

Casey Thompson is black breh. Do you know who his dad is? A&M wasn’t mentioned in the Evan Stewart recruitment up until about a month ago. So we all know what happened there. Matthews will flip back to LSU if they make a good hire.

Quinn Ewers is who Numpsay is talking about. Keep hearing rumors on various forums about Ewers.

Charlie did!! Compare Charlie's last full recruiting class cycle (2016) to Herman's last full recruiting cycle (2020). The UT fanbase & media were way more excited about the 2016 recruiting class than they were about the 2020 recruiting class. Herman's 2020 recruiting class was considered a disappointment compared to his 2018 & 2019 recruiting classes.

I know him and I know people from his high school. Boy a square and kind of a weirdo. Yall need another real live brotha at quarterback. Yall had it with Milroe till he got pushed out. Now he's leading workouts at Alabama. Never recruited Hornsby. Yall making the same mistake this year not recruiting Kevin Jennings from oak cliff he'd be a perfect #2 and A&M already got in front of the recruitment of Jakoby Banks from Fort Bend.

But hey what do I know.

We have Maalik Murphy committed for the '22 class

So if you knew Casey Thompson was black why did you ask that question? Jerrod Heard was also black, so was Tyrone Swoopes. I’m still failing to see what point you are attempting to make here. Hornsby is a huge project at QB, the guy that recruited Milroe to Bama is now the head coach here. We also have a black QB committed in the ‘22 class. So yeah what do you know?
