They don't expect the Marshall kid to pick Texas. They have Umanmielen as a wild card and unpredictable. Expect Texas to grab a grad transfer or two.  It’d be cool for Texas to get Savion and Dixon.

HearEmaGrowlin Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Before we know it, UT will rocket up the team recruiting rankings. Bijan got bumped up to the #1 RB in the country along with a few others. Other fan bases will be all puffed up about it quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there are years where some teams sign significantly less players than other teams, and it does make a difference. Team A may have more points simply due to signing 3-4 more players whereas Team B has a higher average ranking per player. There's also the punter/kicker factor. Even the top kickers in the nation will have low scores that hurt averages. I'd love to see recruiting rankings for years 2-3 years after signing. For example, where can I find recruiting rankings based on 2017 with players only counting if they are still on the team. Re-rank the players based on their current level of play.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Bijan being the #1 RB is a no brainer, character matters. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said that since last summer. I'm glad Texas got him, and I can't wait to see him play. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearEmaGrowlin Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Juwan Mitchell is in the transfer portal! Why?????!!.. He was coming on as a major contributor and was going to be a crucial player next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdawg16 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 From Burn Orange Nation  There were concerns about Mitchell’s future, however, when he was the only player to leave the field before the Eyes of Texas following the win over Texas Tech to finish the regular season. Then, in the Alamo Bowl, former walk-on linebacker Cort Jaquess started over Mitchell, who did end up playing significant snaps and recorded five tackles.  Little adversity and something doesn't go your way...tuck tail and run instead of working 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobo97 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Juwan Mitchell has withdrawn his name from the transfer portal. I didn't understand why he was considering a transfer anyway, seeing as how he is expected to start next season. Either way, good news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red90fly Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Hopefully Mitchell gets his head on strait from here on out because he looked pretty good this past season and he's going to start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red90fly Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 TFB says the 2nd DL coach has been hired and will be announced after NSD2. Currently coaches in the Big 10. Looks like the finish will be Collins and Dixon. Rakestraw is still a toss up and Umanmielen doesn't look like it's going to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearEmaGrowlin Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Duncanville CB Rakestraw commits/signs with Missouri over Texas and Alabama. Was wearing a Missouri cap and a Texas hoodie and committed to the Tigers..from Duncanville.. I will never understand these Texas kids who have an offer from an A&M or Texas and another school like Missouri and decide to go there instead of one of their home state universities. I fully understand it’s their life, but it just seems dumb. Most of the time these guys have zero ties to a place like Missouri and grew up in Texas, UT wants them to play at the state capital. I just don’t get it. Missouri over Texas just doesn’t make any sense to me. If he chose Alabama I’d understand that more due to all the success, but Missouri??....

Just my opinion, but if you look at the three schools involved which team offers the best opportunity for him to get on the field? He could go to all three schools and end up being a stud, average or dud. His chances at being a stud are greater at Mizzou than the other two schools.

JustAFan11 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Best of luck to Rakestraw but just for after football opportunities Missouri was a bad choice. If it’s just about football and getting on the field as quickly as possible then that’s his best option but kid do a little research on the state and university that you’re going to be connected to. Any FBS university in Texas would’ve been a better spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
