Heads up. If you want a brutally honest assessment of our roster, read this:

https://utdonors.thefootballbrainiacs.com/thirsty-thursday-honest-chat-part-ii-2-qbs-in-22-hoops-notes/

Its the first subject in the column and breaks down each player on the roster who had a high ranking coming out of high school.

A couple of samplings:

"4-Star QB Hudson Card (A converted WR in HS that didn’t start at QB until his Junior season, Card was benched during his 2nd career start after failing to muster any points after 7 consecutive drives. He’s behind a player that still has two seasons of eligibility remaining and will probably transfer after the season.)"

5-Star ATH Ja’Tavion Sanders (Refuses to play Defense. Level 1. The highest-rated recruit that Texas has landed over multiple cycles has been rendered useless and is redshirting at a position that Texas doesn’t utilize in the passing game. Two 3-Star recruits at the same position from the same class -Juan Davis and Gunnar Helm- have earned snaps over Sanders this season.)

5-Star LB Ben Davis (Career back-up that wasn’t even a Texas recruit. Never started a game at Bama despite being a legacy recruit and doesn’t play any real snaps for Texas. Colossal bust.)

Didnt click the link, but card was not a converted wr.  He played qb in sub varsity and youth league from my understanding of the situation.

 That's correct, and has had a personal QB coach since middle school. The coach recognized he had a great athlete that he would like to get on the field and get touches. HC was willing to do what he could to help the team and himself. He's a better QB because of it.

 It's a shame to see wasted talent. Finding a way to get athletes on the field somewhere is from the days of rotary phones, a mostly lost method.

Thank you sir and I truly apologize to both you and Aaron for my part in that.

I'll join you in that apology. I should have kept it on ignore.

It's all good, I know it's difficult to resist engaging with people who clog up the board.

No worries, I understand it's difficult not to say something when most everyone just wants to read updates without a bunch kf back-and-forth.

 I thought this was the discussion thread? You had asked to not interrupt the recruiting thread, so this seemed the go to thread for discussion? How is anyone supposed to know a forum is not for discussion?

I might suggest a locked thread if you want a place just for news and updates from you? Your job is hard enough already.

Every thread is for discussion if it's not off-topic, the info is placed in the wrong thread or there are weird arguments/trolling going on for pages like in past days.

Sorry for adding to the clog and certainly didn't enjoy bringing up the painful memory of the guy who shall remain nameless that followed Deloss. Thanks for cleaning things up.

Duly noted. However, DT Leal from aggy also played QB in youth league.

But Card was put at WR and changed position to become QB at LT. So yeah, thats a conversion.
