No it's really not. Texas is expected to have the second best OL in the conference. They didn't produce a 2000 yard back on "questionable" talent that's ALL returning.

RRS rushing yards

2016
Texas 46 180 3.9 2
OU's D average 160.8 4.6

2015
Texas 58 313 5.4 1
OU's D average 149.2 3.6

That's Connor Williams and companies career vs Oklahoma. If it's just him, he's having an easy time bulldozing OU's defense. :dhd:

Our defense was a mess most of last year. Stupid ass alignments, blown coverages, and I still think we were trying to play Will Johnson at OLB. :L

For sure starters

Connor Williams - 2016 All American (no need to tout him)
Zach Shackleford - 2016 Freshman All-American 2016 HM All Big 12 2017 Rimington Watch List
Jake McMillon - solid player, OL improved when he was inserted into the starting lineup. Coaches love him.

Something to prove in my eyes but media loves them. Probable starter. Road grader, shitty pass blocker.

Patrick Vahe - 2017 preseason All Big 12. 2015 Freshman All American. 2015 HM All Big 12. Step back in 2016.

The weak link

Whoever the fuck starts at RT. Lots of talent, but nobody has stood out enough to be the guy. It might be time to pull some of our young guys being groomed for LT and let them play. Upperclassmen aren't getting it done.

We will for sure start 3 guys with plenty accolades. And that was on a shitty team. Vahe is well thought of in college football because he just mauls in the run game. But he is equally terrible at pass blocking so I can't really with a straight face sing his praises despite all his accolades.

So I guess Texas recruits like french kisses from their coaches?

only halfway to signing day-must say that so far, not bad. Just win some games this year with who we got, and the future is bright.

Luke Schoonmaker, Hamden Hall, Tight End

This one is a surprise.

BREAKING: Michigan picks up surprise commitment


Since TE is supposedly a position of significant need for the Wolverines, I guess Harbaugh is still going hard after 4-star TE Mustapha Muhammad out of Texas, who has been considered a strong Michigan lean for quite a while.

Mustapha Muhammad, Ridge Point, Tight End

Isn't he 1st one of the top 10 from Missouri that you've gotten ? I know State of Missouri is loaded this year.

OSU keeps going, picking up Marcus Hooker, the younger brother of All-American/1st Rd Pick Malik Hooker.

Marcus Hooker, New Castle, Cornerback
I love having the younger Hooker on the team. That being said, the 3* drops our avg down a bit. I could care less on what * these recruits come in as. Malik was a 3* I believe as well. It's about development and Schiano is a master at this.

The more Hookers the better.
