Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

IT reiterated today they expect DT T'Vondre Sweat to be one guy who will hit the portal.

 
Isn't this the kid that @java knows? Any reason why he's leaving?
If I were to take a guess, it would be that he has one year left (Jr this season) and wants to start somewhere.  He's currently second or third on the depth chart and will still be behind Coburn next season assuming Broughton or someone else doesnt move to NT

 
Texas may have a bowl game. There are 84 slots and I can only count 75 bowl eligible teams at this time. There are four games pitting 5-6 teams against each other, so that will bring it to 79. That still leaves five slots. Unlike some of y'all I don't want the season to end yet.

agree.  I dont think you ever turn down an opportunity to have 15 or so more practices before spring training.  If seniors want to sit this one out, then dont try to talk them into it.  Move guys around and use the game to see what you have in a real game situation.

Coburn's gone he was honored yesterday on senior day.

If your numbers are correct, Texas will be an attractive draw for a lower level bowl. Could see someone like the Pinstripe, Poinsettia, or someone like that thrilled to get a name like Texas in their bowl. Given the injuries to Casey and Card along with the disapearance of Wright, Ballard may have to be the starter at QB.?

Thought Sark said something post game like the safest thing was for each of them to walk and possible future plans would be discussed afterwards. If so, Coburn may not be completely gone. Although with some of the reports, not sure I'd expect him to be encouraged to return.

If he ends up going pro, then that's a dumb decision. He's overweight, slow and didnt dominate this year.  His resume to a pro team is not going to look good and I doubt he grades out very well at the combines.  Heck, Dicker had as many tackles as Coburn did in the game this week and the same amount of TFL, Sacks, and forced fumbles (which is zero)

He definitely needs another year.

I thought he moved pretty good sideline to sideline his freshman year.

Seemed to have a good motor then, but it appears the added weight robbed his energy and slowed him down. I can't see his draft grade being very high either. 

You're right. He needs another year and drop some weight.

Or he could leave and get drafted an no longer have to go to school and could focus full time on football and reshape his body and regain energy.  Frankly that’s what I would do
