Man, TCU commits dropping like flies. One of the Horn recruiting guys says he has a juicy story about the Okafor recruitment re:TCU that he'll share after signing day. Wonder if these decommits are related to that.

I'm not real sure, I haven't heard any of that stuff. I do know the Brown kid is from Oklahoma and OkState had pushed for him pretty early and he was on a visit for the beatdown in Stillwater.

I haven't read all of this but here is my take on the ags since many non-ags seem to be interested

I think we squeak out a win by pounding the ball with Carson. I think Kyler starts, but Allen finishes. I kind of hope for this actually. I think Allen is the better QB. Murray isn't ready. I also think that if Murray stinks it up again and leaves the door open, Allen starts against LSU and in the bowl game. This may allow the ags to go into the offseason with a wide open race at QB. I think this is best case scenario as it would possibly prevent a transfer from happening as both guys will be confident in themselves to win the job.

What I see our main issue is lack of offensive identity. Defense will improve, but who are we on offense? A spread team, or a Power running team. We line up in both but not really a power run game as our linemen don't put their hand in the dirt, and we put a semi fullback in the backfield but not in a postion to take a handoff. This forces Carson to basically beat his defender on every play assuming each person has a defender responsible for them. Carson can't make guys miss. He's a thumper. This results in too many short yardage or no gains. If we want to be a power run game, put two backs in the backfield that require the LB to have to be responsible for each of them as a run threat rather than just one. Put your hand in the dirt and put a TE on the line of scrimmage.

If you aren't willing to do that, give me 5 WR or 4 wr, and one RB, and spread/air it out.
Just find an identity and own it. This offensive formation with Smith in the backfield just doesn't work.

Maybe that is TCU's recruiting philosophy this year

OU's screen game is going to eat TCU alive this week. Those big uglies on those little linebackers is not going to be pretty.

Listening to the press conference. Sumlin is not naming a starter, he stressed consistency and turnovers.

I still think Murray starts.

@suzhalliburton: After Kyler Murray struggles A&M reopens quarterback competition https://t.co/x73gFtQMby @StatesmanU @statesman https://t.co/bmmd1CPSTN

which one is more likely to bail if this back and forth continues?

It's been strange to see how it's been handled it from the outside. Sumlin keeps preaching it's an open competition and it's based on practice. He's said Kyle is fine. I know there's the media / fan answer and then there is inside the program but it just seems been handled wrong from the outside looking in. It seems they have no clue who they should start and they creates division / controversy with players, media, and fans. It's an interesting turn of events going from QBU with two 5 Stars (as we were constantly reminded be the Aggie TBH faithful) to the mess it is right now.

I was interested to hear what Sumlin had to say today so thanks for posting it.

It is a tumultuous time for Texas and a portion of the fan base is attempting to will Charlie to Miami. He oughta do it, but how do you not play the guaranteed contract card... If the powers that be have begun a vetting process, it's time to go public/pay the man and let him sign elsewhere.

[Brock Middlebrook]

I would assume we lose the kid that doesn't get the start for LSU and the bowl game.

I still think Murray starts but I don't have any inside info.

I also assume a QB offer for 2016 goes out at some point.

I think if that happens it is a deal between Strong, Miami, and Texas to all get what they want and a win-win for all parties. This is assuming Texas wants Strong out which I don't think they do after season two.

Thanks for the reply. I would agree with the 2016 QB offer. I would think Allen has a higher transfer probability rate than Murray since he's a legacy.
