Quinncent McManning, Jr.

Put it this way. In how many games was our punting better than the opposition this year? I can’t remember one. I’m sure there are a few but never did I think our punting flipped the field on anyone this year. There’s no way we don’t find a portal punter this year with a narrow window with arch as qb1.

Think of how much better the defensive stats would look this year if we could pin the opponent inside the 20 with any regularity.

Impressive young man!

Michael Taafe replacement? Not necessarily due to the obvious similarity but due to great production

I like key a lot. He is bigger. 6 3? Sategna is a track guy ran 10.8 in hs. I could see both types of guys being targeted.

Seems like a natural fit but wonder if they would wait for a bigger fish

I think blue is the keilan type and that is fine if he returns. If not I would guess it’s niblett if niblett doesn’t portal. Gibson needs to stay. He’s got a lot of potential once he figures out blocking and not fumbling.

Hard to believe sark would just say let’s let kern develop give that punting was literally the weakest part of the entire team. Sure he may get better but injury or not this year have to think sark will bring in a second punter. My guess is they mostly know what they have with stone after the last few years so either we are fine with that or we will bring in someone new.

I’m particularly disappointed Bledsoe wasn’t a bigger part of the equation this year. Not sure how much is we had a great 6 man rotation versus he’s just not ready. Of course we’ve see how development goes in this room so maybe there is still hope. Sweat went from okay backup to Outland trophy. Collins went from disappointing 5 star to now possible 2nd or 3rd round pick.

Glad to be able to add the two DTs in to the known category today. Still need at least 2 more experienced ones in the portal.

Jesus take the wheel?

Forgot to add on DT - Question marks Bledsoe and Bryant leaving?

Excited to see how the 2025 recruiting class fills out, but we will be in full swing of the portal season as well. Looking at the current depth chart, there will be a ton of talent that comes back next year, though we will still need to supplement through the portal (i did not list everyone, but mostly next in line / higher regarded younger players): QB Knowns - Arch, Owens, Lacey. Question marks - Ownens ready to be QB2?. Portal needs - None RB Knowns - Wisner, Gibson, Simon, Stewart. Question marks - how Baxter and Clark recover from serious injuries, could Blue go pro? Portal needs - possible experienced between the tackles runner. WR Knowns - Moore, Wingo, Livingstone, Ffrench, Lockett. Question marks - Will Nibblett stay at UT and if so still be a WR?, Debose's recovery from injury, Butler's development, could Bolden return? Portal needs - speed experienced WR1/WR2 TE Knowns - Washington, Shannon, Townsend, Winston. Question marks - Michael Terry H-back role if he commits, Niblack returning?, Randle development? Portal needs - possible if there is attrition in particular, also if there is a true difference maker OL Knowns - Goosby, Hutson, Neto, Robertson/Cruz, Baker likely starting 5. Question marks - Could DJ Campbell return?, development of youngsters like Cojoe and Chatman, Portal needs - unlikely given Floods's assembly line of studs EDGE Knowns - Burke, Simmons, Jackson. Question marks - could Moore return?, Vasek's health, Zina's development. Portal needs - only a true difference maker DT Knowns - January, Hills. Question marks - all 2025 recruits until ink is dry, Mitchell returning? Savea leaving for sure? Portal needs - yes, yes, and yes. LB Knowns - Hill, Lefau, Smith, Barnes, Cunningham. Question marks - Akana's future, Guellete's development. Portal needs - only a true difference maker CB Knowns - Muhammad, Guilbeau, Black, Roberson, Mack, Wilson, Philips. Question marks - Cole's future. Portal needs - experienced CB2? S Knowns - McDonald, Johnson Rubell. Question marks - Taaffe really gone? D WIlliams' recovery, Filsame's development, will J Williams be slowed by baseball / late football start. Portal needs - starter level player K Knowns - Stone (kickoffs). Question marks - Auburn's reliability. Portal needs - starter level player P Knowns - crickets. Question marks - does Kern have more upside than we think? Portal needs - starter level player P/K returner - no obvious ones now. Question marks - do we have someone that is suited for either role if Bolden is done? Portal needs - suspect at least one of the spots could be taken by a portal WR. Big picture is that we are in an enviable state. Clearly need experience / speed at WR, a safety transfer, special teams help, and DT starters / depth. All others additions seem to be mostly gravy.. big game hunting, unless there is unexpected portaling out of the program. Thoughts?

I thought surely this would be a Texags documentary made before the game

That historic 2022 aggy class continues to impress

Would keep this down low if this was a new finding though who knows if reed will be the qb at aggy next year. That said, I would think his limited reads scanning half the field would be a bigger factor than this.

Aggy about to flip the 5 star wr that usc just lost. Can’t imagine going that game and saying yup.. that’s the offense for me.

Quote should be framed and put in the recruit lounge asap

Props to the mspaint master

That is a win win if I ever saw one

Thank god he still has an ankle

Hope Hilson makes a football decision as Gerry was alluding to for so long and not just a pure money decision because we saw on the field where he would be developed better

Huge win to maintain a clear distance in where the programs are. Will be big for 2026 recruiting.

Love his upside. With increased scholarships would certainly give a guy like this an offer. Along with 5 punters and kickers

Devin Sanchez to the burnt orange telephone please
