WETSU Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 55 minutes ago, JustAFan11 said: Texas fans have been telling everyone these last couple seasons that Texas was lacking talent and development. Strong and Herman really struggled with developing players and elite talent has been leaving Texas for SEC and Ohio St for years. Some of these guys will stick as free agents like, Poona Ford, Lil Jordan Humphrey, Andrew Beck, PJ Locke, and Calvin Anderson. I believe that Sark has hired really well and is assembling some talent. We’ll see if they can develop. I don’t completely agree with that first part. There is talent there. The problem is development like you said, but mostly this is still after 10+ years a culture problem not a talent problem. How many times have we looked at a Texas staff and said the same exact things you said at the end. “I believe coach X has hired well and is assembling talent… etc.” To me Sark is just the same as the last 2 at this moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

514 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Do you think Beamer at V.Tech or Dabo at Clemsom would have had the runs that they had in today's microwave got to win now times. Do you think that after their first 2 or 3 years they would have been in the hot seat or fired. Not everybody inherits a program like Oklahoma or Ohio St. right out of the bat like Day and Riley. I don't know if Sark is going to get the job done either but you sure cannot judge him by 1 years worth of work. Their was a time when you given at least enough time to get your type of players in to see it it was going to work out or not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WETSU Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 The baseball team has had the wheels fall off it seems. It’s crazy how this team went from the clear front runner to now probably a 2 seed in a regional. But keep them out of the College station regional if we host one lol. The Texas team looks like it could be that underachieving team that turns it on when it matters and makes a post season run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a couple bullpen arms figure it out over the next month they’ll be that team no one wants to see in their regional. The lack of a veteran presence in the bullpen has really hurt the young guys that were very good to start the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobo97 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 So Texas has 2 players that were approached and offered lucrative deals to enter the portal and transfer to their program. One of those players is Xavier Worthy. So is this what we’re now allowing? Just offer any player you want? If this is what the NCAA is now going for, then college sports as we knew it is gone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s looking for the quick fix instead of recruiting hard and building his roster. He was spoiled at OU, Stoops left him and OU in a great spot to run with a ready to win roster. Clay Helton left USC in rough shape. Lucky for him USC recruits itself and there isn’t much competition for top recruits on the west coast. Still it’s going to be interesting to see if Riley can build his own program. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas definitely hasn't taken any transfer portal guys to try to make a quick fix at a position under Sark. I highly doubt Lincoln Riley talked to Worthy, but you know who probably did? Caleb Williams You can't fix this problem until you find a way to police players from recruiting other players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAFan11 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Anyone want to take a stab at how the QB position shakes out before fall camp? Card or Ewers? Will Sark play both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Card starts. Ewers has far more arm talent, but Card has more game-speed snaps. Both will play. Sark will give Ewers ever opportunity to steal the spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
