The thing with Texas is you have to keep in mind how boosters operate within the state. It's not how much money they have, it's if they want to support the coach or not.

Sark got off to a rocky start, so they didn't fully open up the pocketbooks. He went to the playoffs this year, so the checkbook is opening up. They can buy whoever they set their sights on basically.

Same thing kind of played out with Texas A&M. Jimbo beats Alabama, their NIL money goes through the roof, bring in a huge class. He starts losing? They don't want to help him keep his job so the spending goes back down.

He’s going to have to visit Baumhower’s, Dream Land, Archibald’s and a few more to add a few lbs. Hopefully, we get him.
Last weight I saw was 278. I believe it was an announcer during the Texas game that said he makes up for his lack of weight by his strength and technique. He also has some quickness. He was on the second all Pac team. Adding some weight will probably only make him better. Bama would be lucky to get him.

Hate to be cynical, but I`ll be more than a little surprised if he shows up. If UT wants him bad enough, Sark will make him an offer he simply can`t refuse and with which we cannot compete.

It seems UTx is doing the exact same thing aTm did with their "greatest recruiting class of all time". It should be interesting to see how Sark manages all these "high end" players and their egos. Wins still have to be won on the field, so there aren't any guaranteed wins in recruiting "wins".

Because those large offensive linemen do so much better in pass protection?

He's at 275 on the link, so he's already started.

The truth is technique can solve a lot of issues on the line. Proper protection calls can make a big difference as well. Let's see how the team responds to the new OL coach.

I suppose it's possible, but I get the feeling that he's only the "favorite" because he just finished his visit. Everyone likes to kneejerk react to everything, so they give a crystal ball the second he takes a visit. He had a pretty classy Twitter response to DeBoer leaving, and it sounds like theres a lot of mutual respect there. I'd be surprised if he didn't at least listen to DeBoer. There's a reason Texas doesn't want him to visit us

Sark has to deliver an NC sometime soon or those boosters will get restless...........and if he doesn't win the SEC soon, it will get hot. They expect him and Texas to dominate the new conference and dictate how things are done like they did in their old conference............I think they might find that a little difficult
 
Agree with him 100% on Downs. Proctor gets a pass from me, though. He didn't leave because of the coaching change. He left because he was homesick. It happens, and I can respect that a whole lot more than what some of these other guys are doing. He will end up at Iowa.
No big loss in Proctor. He gave up 12 sacks this year. The whole Washington Husky Defense gave up 12 sacks. Perspective!

I wouldn't go that far. He was a freshman, and he got a whole lot better as the season went on. He was hurt in the CFP, so that's the reason for some of the issues in that game. I was really looking forward to seeing him as a sophomore.
