Haha, Charlie got one of the top QBs in the country, and that kid might start in game 1. Now, I'm not saying that the kid is going to light up the Austin skies, but if he's better than the others to start day 1, I'd say that's recruiting a needed position.

---

That's rich, being posted on a TexAgs message board. Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray say, "Hello."

---

Those two QBs have literally nothing to do with what I posted. Charlie needed a QB, so he went and got one of the best in the state of Texas. A&M needed one, and they did the same with Allen and Murray. Really confused about what's "rich" about what I posted...

Getting a "top QB in the country" doesn't directly translate into a great offense, is the point. Now, an outstanding one with a high football IQ and freakish athletic talent? That's a little different, if used properly.

Is Buechele that kind of guy? And if he is, can Sterlin Gilbert make the best use of him? Or get him killed behind a weak O-line?

And not to put too fine a point on it, but the way college football has changed over the last five years, expecting a QB to play every game for the entire season is asking a lot. That is especially true if the QB is dual threat and runs a lot.

Who is the back-up for Shane?

I honestly don't know who the back up is, and honestly I don't care in regards to this conversation. The quote was that you don't "see the narrative that Strong is a good recruiter," and that he didn't recruit "positions in need" like QB and O-line. Literally after you said that, Strong added another O-lineman today, possibly another if fortune permits, and recruited and signed one of the nations best high school QBs of last season, i.e., recruiting and filling the positions in need

I almost feel sorry for Booshelle. He would be a lot better off with a redshirt year. The fact that Charlie has to start him says a ton about how bad Swoopes, Heard, Locksley and Merrick are.

This I actually do agree with. QBs and the handeling of QBs at Texas has been astoundingly underwhelming the past few years

And I submitted that a decent back-up QB IS a position of need these days.

You are free to disagree with that assessment, if you choose, but Urban Meyer seems to agree with me.

You get it, Junction. Of course we are both old enough to remember when Marshall had to get on bended knee and beg the NCAA to be able to even play freshmen at all after the plane crash killed nearly the entire team.

Freshmen playing at the varsity level was not allowed nor even common after it was allowed until a few decades ago.

So I started doing some light reading on a couple of other B12 boards and A&M's board. After reading through the boards and gathering a consensus about what other schools think and believe about Texas and Co., I came to one conclusion....... the empire is rising and the false kings of the lands are taking notice.
Most of these boards labor on about how Strong won't be there next year, and how these kids are going to Texas to waste their talents, or that they beat Texas with highly rated recruits before so this makes no difference. But, from their tone, it does make a difference. These fans and supporters from other schools need Texas to be down to have a chance. It's palpable, the tension that they feel that Texas and Strong have shifted the landscape back to the Horns.
These fan continue to believe that they are still in the Mack Brown era of Texas, where we stockpile talent and let that talent develop on its own by being nurtured within a cocoon of Texas love. Yet, they don't realize that Strong has gone out and recruited talent with an edge, or like some would say a "dog" mentality. Strong brings them in, Moorer put them through the grinder, and now we have the coaching staff that will mold them with precision.
They think this is the same ole Texas but they have never seen Strong with a team of "his" guys, they haven't seen Texas with a system offense, but this it what they will see. Texas now will roll out with plus ATHLETES at almost every position and athletes win games when it's played in the wide open. This is why the fans of other schools hate that for the last two years the Malik's and Warren's of the high school ranks choose Texas, and why Baylor was infuriated that Sterling is bringing Art's system to Texas. If you take a system that was created to help lesser teams play against more talented teams, and substitute more talented players in the system, you have a recipe for domination. Add in to that recipe players on Defense that can play in space because of their athletic ability and now you remove 10-13 pts off the score board, and you have the start of a new Empire.
It's here ladies and gents, the new era of Texas football. We are the dog behind the fence, we are the sleeping giant, and we are the fighter that was knocked down. But those days are over, we are rising, we slowly pulled ourselves up off the canvas and brushed away the sweat and blood from our face. We've taken the punches and now it's time to punch back, it begins on Sept. 4!

Hey Zeus H. Crisco that mother ****er must be radioactive pumping that much sunshine. This guy sounds like some damn cheesy supervillain who's gotten his ass kicked like 50 times trying to rob a bank, but THIS time he'll achieve world domination.

UT will retain Strong through the 2018 season, going 5-7 each year. Then, in the spirit of Title 9, they will hire the very best female football coach in the world and giving her a six-year contract at $10 mil per year. It will be a surprise that this "football" coach coaches a game called soccer in the USA.

If Herman really wants the sip job, he'll get it, whether Strong has been fired yet or not.

BUT, I've said before that Herman is kind of an odd duck. Money is not a huge motivator for him and if he likes it in CougarTown, he'll stay awhile.

Meh... I think Herman would jump to Texas for $5+ million per year.

Today from Burton:

Does Charlie Strong's recruiting success potentially buy him more time if the Horns have less-than-expected production on the field this year?

I'm told the answer is yes. With appropriate caveats.

1. The decision makers want to see if these recruits actually live up to the hype to determine if there really is a light at the end of the tunnel. In other words, are these recruits really as good as Strong and staff are portraying them to be?

2. The decision makers want to see more points scored from the offense, at least the start of something that looks like it can and will compete nationally in due time.

In January, I would have told you that Strong probably needed to win eight to keep his job. I think that number is still a safe bet. I think Texas should win at least that many this season.

But I could see seven wins being enough if those other pieces of the puzzle are also in place.

Favorable schedule this yr for sip, with ndame, tcu (no boykin, & lost their top rb and top wr), wvu (tough at home, marshmallow on the road), and iowastate all having to play in austin.

But it tells you what sip really thinks about the current sip coaching staff when the sip fanbase and sip media view Cal as a tough game. Cal is gonna be a 4-8 team this year -- with no defense and an offense that lost its top 2 rb's, top 6 wr's, and 4 yr starter at qb.

I do wonder how Charlie's 4th "new offense" in 3 yrs will do if buechele gets "david ash-ed" into next week.

This. The lack of depth at the QB position (again) is the huge question mark. There were a ton of injuries to QBs in the Big XII (and other leagues for that matter) over the last two seasons.

And the sips have Swoopes and Heard who have endured how many scheme changes each? Especially Swoopes. Started under Mack (burned his RS in a crap game), then Watson, then Watson's HUNH (not) reboot, then Jay Norvell and now Sterlin Gilbert. Heard through both iterations of Watson, then Norvell and now Gilbert.

They may have been moved to other positions at the moment, but the chances they may be pressed into service should not be ignored completely. Not with a true freshman starting. Baylor was down to a WR starting as QB at the end of last year. And Briles normally is stacked at that position, but still wasn't enough.

TCU managed to have a comeback for the ages with a back-up QB aided by Oregon's defensive collapse, but that's an anomaly.

And let's face it, Charlie Strong isn't that lucky, nor is he smart enough to plan ahead for when his unlucky streak hits.

I'm blown away how anyone (Burton) could think that Texas 'should win at least 8'.

I'm having a hard time seeing them get to 6. It is an undeniable fact that offense is dominating college football right now. They do not have anything at QB (at least yet). The freshman may be good at some point, but the best they can probably hope for is average play as a true freshman.

The other thing that folks are failing to mention is how incredibly thin they are at DL and their OL is really not that much better. They have recruited some really good skill players, but have trouble in the trenches and at QB. Sorry, that's just a recipe for disaster, IMO.

Buechele one of the best qb's in the USA? He might turn into a good college player, but to say he is one of the best hs qb's is a major stretch.

tx should be able to close their eyes, swing a stick and find 8 wins in that putrid league.....
