DB2point0 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 2 hours ago, Red90fly said: Yep, for the first time in a long time, Texas has for the most part a staff that can develop and recruit. I was never on the "Fire PK!" bandwagon as the guy had a decade plus of fielding high rated defenses and we saw huge improvements on that side of the ball this year. You couldn't ask for a better LB haul than what Texas signed. Sark made a pretty good point in the presser yesterday about these guys have actually been playing off-ball LB and not Safety or somewhere else that you'll have to train to play LB. I wish Texas could have gotten one more interior DL and another DB, but other than that I don't think you can complain about anything. I’m still not a fan of the Def playcalling. 3rd downs were awfully predictable. Just curious as to how much/little influence Gary Patterson has on the def gameplans. PK helped the DL out in development though, no doubt. Offensively Sark is a first half genius. He just needs to get rid of the coasting mentality. Score, score, score. The defense will feed off of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many times in the past, we've gotten a "4/5 star" that came from consistent 3 win situations. Sark is bringing in a lot of guys that have won state titles or at the very least, come from successful programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The route running and burst is what has Sark drooling over him. He's also pretty strong...he's a nightmare against man and press coverage. Huge pickup for Texas. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorrel flashed at times, other times you didn’t know he was on the field. Burke barely played and is an unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsfanatic1 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 (edited) Sark and Co. have done an excellent job of putting this class together.

Hall has had a tumultuous college career, and that includes a transfer from Alabama following a suspension for a violation of team rules, and then once he got to Texas, he scrubbed all mentions of the Longhorns on social media. Hall also was arrested at Texas for criminal mischief, and also suspended by coach Steve Sarkisian. Hall played in 3 games for the Longhorns in 2022, and made 1 catch for 7 yards.

He has spurned two big-name programs. Not sure if another big-name program will give him another go, hence the lesser programs comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
