UT is working hard beefing up the defense. The Horns just got a commitment from Sydir Mitchell 6-6 340 4 star Defensive Tackle. Saw a picture of this young man on Twitter. He is absolutely massive. Where’s the Beef? At Texas, new freshmen class starts with 6-7 365# freshmen 6 offensive linemen ends with a puny 6-5” 298 linemen. Sark is building the foundation at Texas.

Cool Guess time will tell but seriously, why all the hype on him being some great HC? 5 years at Washington = 51-42 (548%) 2 years at USC = 12-6 (667%) 1 year at UT = 5-7 (417%) 8 years total as a HC = 68-55 (553%) Pretty sure he had MUCH more talent last year than 90% of the teams he faced.

I’ve never considered Sark as a great coach, just giving him and his staff some Kudos for assembling a very good recruiting class.

I'm not doubting that at all and the next class is shaping up nicely. But go back and see when it was that UT ever had an 'average' recruiting class. They have always done very well there. I They have consistently had very good recruiting with top notch talent but get beat by teams with FAR LESS talent. They have done less with more for many years now on the 40 acres and it shows by what happens with the majority of 4 & 5 stars that have gone there the last decade or more. Just refer to NFL rosters to see what I mean.

I actually like what Sark is doing. He's building depth in areas like the OL where the Horns have lacked for about a decade. It might not show this season, but next and there after it certainly will.
I expect 8-3 this season with being the dogs right now to to Bama, Baylor and Okie State. But if they can show a respectible showing against Bama, I might revise the Dog's to Okie Lite and Baylor.

It is what he and his staff do with these recruits that will tell the tale. 8-3? They have 12 games on their schedule and hopefully another one for the b12 title game. The schedule is favorable with 7 games at DKR. The big ones on the road are TT, Okie St, & K St. If they just take care of their business at home and find a way to beat OU at the cotton bowl again, they could do even better than 9-3. Even 8-4 is respectable providing the losses are to legit teams and they are competitive. He loses again to Kansas and he will be looking for another job and UT will have a good coach because he is already on campus waiting!

Just refer to NFL rosters to see what I mean. The one thing I've been complaining about for years is O-Line and D-Line. In the previous 10 season Texas recruited a total of (26) 4 star linemen (either side of the ball) and (0) 5 star linemen. That's (1-1/2) 4 star offensive linemen and (1-1/2) four star defensive linemen each year. In 2022 alone Sark brought in (10) 4 star linemen and (1) 5 star. Once you dig into the recruiting classes, you start seeing some things that don't look nearly as good as a Top 15 class should look. To me the recruiting rankings get way over inflated because you can go out and get (10) 4 star defensive backs and look great in the rankings, but what the hell are you gonna do with them? That's kind of how Texas has been doing things. The numbers aren't what they seem.

THey simply haven't been able to land those 5-star lineman. The bottom line is if you are consistently in the top 10 in recruiting classes and if your staff are not COMPLETE 3 toed booger picking morons, you recruit what is needed and not 10 4-star DBs all in one year. lol

I've been watching quite a few highlights on Manning and though the kid is definitely good, he is NOT the top QB out there or even a 5 star IMO. The competition he is playing against would be equivalent to 3a in TX HSFB!
And before anyone takes this somewhere it is not meant to go, I'm not saying he will not be a hell of a college QB because he sure has the bloodlines to do just that. I'm saying when he gets to UT the size, speed, and athleticism is going to be a big shock from what he is facing now. He would not be putting up the numbers he has playing 6a or even 5a TX HSFB

They have obviously been going after them but not bringing any in. That has seem to finally change for at least one year. It’s ridiculous that the University of Texas can’t get decent linemen from the state of Texas. Gotta be incompetence, laziness, or both on the behalf of Texas recruiting. On the rest, I honestly think the staff for the last decade has been as you so eloquently put it, “3 toes booger picking morons”. I don’t know why they were recruiting the way they were. Maybe they wanted to look good on paper? Maybe they were going after athletes to try to keep up with OU? I don’t know, but those high recruiting classes don’t look nearly as good once you start digging into it. And don’t get me started on player development….. God I hate college football. It’s the greatest sport ever created.

Manning has a lot of raw talent, but it’s pretty raw. He’s not gonna show up and start, he’s gonna need some time.

Agree Ewers is the man I think and will be the next 2 season so Manning has to grow a lot to challenge for that job!
