I hate relying on portal players.
Thank you Mr. Positivity.
QB - Worse
RB - A lot better
WR - Same or better
TE - Worse
OL - Worse
DL - Worse
LB - Worse
CB - Worse
Safety - Worse
So youâre sayin Coogs 2023 Big 12 Champs
Hell, probably. Lol
Why is the OL worse?
From what I can tell there were 0 seniors on our oline�
And will CB/safety really be worse with all the injuries we had and the guys who did play this year getting all that experience�
Because our LT is going to be NFL bound, most likely.
Safety. We lose Owens and Mwaniki.
CB. We lose our best corner, Art Green.
This is just on paper. Games arenât played on paper. We could be better at every position next year. Up to the players and coaches. But on paper, weâre worse across the board. Other than RB and WR.
And if he isnât the coach kids will be leaving and the next coach will have a total over haul facing him.
As a sophomore???
I donât see it.
It was already talked about in the preseason. And he had a good year. And measurables you canât teach. His brother was also drafted last season. Patrick Paul is a lot better than his brother. And he knows it.
HmmmmâŠI dunno man!!!
Iâd imagine that a year as a blocker against P5 pass rushes and another year of weight training would improve his draft stock.
Weâll see.
I donât see him on any draft lists at this point.
I think heâll be back.
Maybe, but in my opinion, it would be a big mistake. He needs more experience and consistency against better competition. Paul has good upside.
If yâall thought we were going to have players hit the portal due to Holgy staying⊠Wait and see the portal if he gets firedâŠ
There isnât a single person on the roster with the exception of McCaskill that canât be replaced. This team just went 7-5. Itâs quite possible a new coach could bring in a slew of transfers from the portal to make the team even better. IF, and a big IF, UH goes in another direction, the decision shouldnât be based on fear of players leaving the program. Just my two cents.
While itâs clear that the program took a step or 2 back this year, every season is different. We may end up surprising a lot of people next year.
