JustAFan11 Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 Brandon Jones has a legit shot to be a high draft pick before he missed games because of injury. I believe he’ll come back and I think it’s in his best interest to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 With LJH declaring for the draft, Texas has a wide open depth chart for slot WR. Josh Moore will be coming off injury. Whittington will get an early jump on the other freshman WRs. Maybe they move Duverney inside with Burt stepping in where Duve was. LJH was Sams chain mover and whoever replaces him needs to be able to take a hit from an LB and catch everything. Finding his replacement just became high priority for the spring.

Texas will have a lot of talent at the position. Personally, I think Burt continues to play backup. I think Duvernay has his biggest season as a Longhorn. If they want another big receiver at slot, Brennan Eagles or incoming freshman Marcus Washington could be a good fit. I also think Joshua Moore is capable. Jake Smith and Jordan Whittington are also options, although I expect both of them to be more contributors as freshman than leaders. The good news is, they have 8 months to figure it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Marcus Washington is way underrated. He was a top 50 national recruit and then ran a slow 40 at a camp with an injured hamstring and they dropped his rating a lot.

He certainly has the build to fill in for Humphrey, but if you want to talk about a slow 40 time, it would be Epps. Marcus Washington just won MVP of the UA game. I wouldn't classify him as underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, LSU had key players out....9 from one side of the ball to be exact. Georgia had 1 player skip the bowl, and one injured. That's no different than your regular football game. Case and point, Texas also had a key player out with injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschool32 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I think Jones needs another year but if he goes I'm not terribly sad to have Sterns and Foster on the back end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatbambino Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I'm hoping Brewer or another TE could be a weapon over the middle like LJH was. Or one of the young slot WRs, who have a little more shiftiness to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote according to an annual study conducted by Ryan Brewer, an associate professor of finance at Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus. The Longhorns are worth $1.1 billion, according to Brewer’s analysis, which moved them into the top slot after Ohio State had held that role for the prior three years. Brewer’s study calculates what a college team would be worth on the open market if it could be bought and sold like a professional sports franchise. Brewer analyzes each program’s revenues and expenses along with cash-flow adjustments, risk assessments and growth projections. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct the picture I posted from ESPN was after all the games had been played. That’s a good way to determine who playED the toughest schedule.
