Red Five

I bet she's worth it.

There must be some obvious joke here I'm missing.

I don't think we'll carry all of Manning, Owens, Lacey, and Bell in 2026. I know who I'd bet on being the odd man out.

Well they're both white I guess. Shipley's speed/quickness was on a completely different level.

11-4 at the moment. https://texaslonghorns.com/feature/lonestar-showdown

Yeah he's retired.

Here's the weird thing to me: It didn't used to. Certainly not coming out of high school, or when he first got here. Obviously injuries played a part there, but you never really saw the gunslinger version of him again after his first season.

He's coming to Austin tonight with no other visits planned and no current plans to take more visits.

And we have depth. Everywhere. Not trying to pick nits here, but we're really loaded. Any takes from here on out are pure luxury takes. ALTHOUGH... if an all-conference caliber RT were to drop in our laps, say a Christian Jones/Cam Williams level player, that would be pretty cool.

We don't have any "needs" at this point. Everything is a luxury pickup.

1 TE, 1 WR, 1 K, 1 DT, 1 best player available. ... if no one else leaves. Edit: Not sure how I screwed up counting to five but I did. Add in an APB/return guy.

You are forgiven.

Around the same time Shipley showed up in Norman?

Right. Said better than I did above. It's a little depressing that we're talking about a guy who had round one pick one talk just a couple of years ago, but that's the reality. He's already made a good deal of money. If he can hang around the league for a few years at least he's done ok.

I'm not really comfortable even putting their names in the same sentence.

VY went to two pro-bowls. You would most likely lose that bet.

I would be so confused watching Ewers' film if I were in an NFL draft room. Honestly I have no idea where I would slot him. He was obviously banged up most of last year, but he pretty much went from a guy with the golden arm who could make all the throws, to a guy who could somewhat manage a game and throw accurate balls around the line of scrimmage.

Hold on guys. If the criteria is that Ewers needs to be Kirk Cousins in order to not be labeled a bust, then yeah 96% is probably pretty accurate.

So the criteria to not be labeled a "bust" is to at some point become an adequate starter? I'm not sure that should be the bar if Ewers is drafted in the 4th or 5th round.

Just typing out loud... 2 TEs, 1 WR, 1 DT, 1 kicker. I suppose if an all-conference type RT were to fall into our laps we'd take that. We'd also take a Keilan Robinson clone at RB. That's seven.

It will be interesting to see how this works out. We have two kickers on scholarship, but will obviously be in the market for one. Maybe we'll trade kickers with Texas State.

He had just gone 5-7. He would have been fired after another losing season.
