A little, but there's a real sense that more is needed or else.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend ("It's not even close")

We missed on Tray. Period. THat was one of the last classes in the dinosaur era of evaluating.
The nerds and the coaches are usually wrong about the same percentage.
VY? Many of them were prior to the current ranking system but would have been 6.0+ back in their day. Again, HS rankings weren’t what I was posting about. I was posting about the fact that the best college careers do not translate to pro careers as often as expected.
The hit rate of super Blue HS QBs is higher but not a given. VY, Russell, Ryan Leaf, Mark Sanchez, JT Daniels, (others) were all 6.0 + types
This is accurate about Flood, and ou's coach.
I'm sure they've said this to Fasusi repeatedly--it just may not be sticking.
A sales pitch that we can hope gets traction with Fasusi.
Has Texas had any players of recent Nigerian background? Has Oklahoma? Their ancestry seems to be important to Fasusi's family. Maybe another relative advantage to highlight if it exists.
agreed, I was just thinking Five Star talent and showed flashes. In his case he never put it all together.
Facts. One kid was booted. One kid left after 1 season for NIL money. One kid is now at Texas State, if he were elite he wouldn't be at Texas State.That's a lot of excuses in one sentence.
It's true. I had a steadfast belief that he would end up in the NFL back in 2020 when he was struggling at left tackle and was pretty vocal about it.
It’s kind of been the same every year for Quinn. I keep waiting for “he’s lighting it up and gonna explode this year”, but it’s always “Quinn looked solid. Quinn was sharp and didn’t turn the ball over.” Or something along those lines. I’m projecting him to take another decent step up, just because it’s year three for him and Sark has a history of guys showing marked improvement year to year, so I’m kind of giving benefit of the doubt to a degree, but I can’t say I’m confident he will end up in NYC.
Sarks ratio of taking QBs and turning them in to plus players and putting them in the NFL. So, I am not worried about what is being said or not said about Quinn at this point. I trust that he will be fine this year.
Maybe a big season in the SEC will change some of the minds!
Hopefully. Otherwise not sure what else they can do.
How many super blue chips has he signed as a coach?
How many have been successful?
When talking about quarterback, that's probably correct. Yet, if we look specifically at Texas, the ones he has signed and used are very, very highly rated.
Dying on a hill defending OU and their coaches is a super weird hill to die on bro. Maybe, just stop.
Then you must have known in 2020 that Herman would be replaced, and subsequently Herb Hand as well… because CJ’s growth and development correlates directly with the coaching from Sark and Flood’s development of him; Tope Imade and Denzel Okafor have said as much about Flood’s importance to their own development.
It’s just a shame both of those players didn’t have an extra season or two under Flood’s tutelage.
That being said I don’t doubt that you saw potential in Jones; a lot of us were hoping for him to take that next step. But… there was nothing to indicate that he would develop into an NFL draft pick/player with Hand at the helm. To say otherwise is a revisionist’s history.
I say this because I’m a huge fan of CJ’s; both as a player and certainly as a person. I wish him nothing but the best. The original indictment of CJ has nothing to do with potential, but instead that of Herman and his staff…
According to your information, which I trust, is 4 signed, 0 successful.
But it's much more nuanced than that simple analysis. You can't blame the OL coach for failing to develop a player that does something and gets booted off the team. You also can't blame the OL coach for a player going back to his home State after 1 year for NIL payday.
If we are being honest Green was a starter as a true freshman, was he not? So how exactly are you measuring his success?
Details always matter fam.
And I'm way more impressed with putting lower ranked players in the NFL, than ready made super blue chips.
Can someone explain why we give all the OL $50k a year? That’s $200k over 4 years to those that never play a down. I see why they don’t leave when they’re getting paid and not on the two deep.
The NIL should be about attracting the top talent versus paying for participation. Then we could pay Fasusi and others versus losing them.
