Update: Joe Milton struggled a little bit today….. Hooker had a really good day……Bailey struggled really badly…. Opinion…. Feels Hooker would be the starter right now….. Maurer showed up to practice today but was sent home by staff due to his Instagram post….. Calbert has surgery scheduled and is done for the year like they thought he would be…. Cannot wait till tomm.
HH just quietly earning this job 👀
 
Age and maturity. These things go hand in hand.

He is a sheltered college athelete who has no other worries in the world but figuring out how to play football and finish school. (He literally has everything done for him at UT only has to go to class and play football)

He is not an adult. He is still a kid.
So his sheltered world has caused his maturity not to catch up with his age, and thus he is an adult that is still behaving like a kid.

Sorry I think kids should be taught that there are consequences for their actions. That doesn't mean you dislike them as a person or are wishing for the earth to swallow them whole. It just means we should be held accountable for what we do. Life is better that way. Now not only are kids not being held accountable, they keep getting excused until they decide they are an adult?
 
Yesterday he mostly stood in the background sans headgear. Had he already been told he was out of the running as starter?
He had his helmet off bc he wasn’t going to get any reps…. Thinks he was told after day 4 that he was fourth string…..didn’t hear it directly but from secondary convo talking about the situation….. his reps decreased each day afterwards.
 
E. Cain on fingers report said it looked like Milton/Bailey and then Hooker. Then you get this report. They are doing a good job of not letting it be known until they want it. Probably know more after tomorrow and especially Tuesday.
Yep….. the scrimmages will tell what the coaches are truly thinking.
 
Is there a thread on depth chart guesses? I'm curious to see what everyone thinks. I checked out so much during Pruitt's last 2 years that I don't even know the roster as well as I normally do.

Very interesting that BM showed up at practice.

Need the scrimmage notes like ASAP - can't wait.

Wonder what Heupel's philosophy is on when to flip the switch from "finding our guy" to "get our best guy ready for the first game."
 
It was surprising Maurer stayed after spring. Injuries, inconsistency and decisionmaking have been issues for a while. Good for him for competing and no reason not to wish him well, whatever he decides is the best path. The writing's been on the wall for a while, and his growing frustration isn't helping anyone.

Think someone said they wanted to know with 2 weeks to practice and hoped to keep it a secret until the first game but doubted that could happen here. Don't quote me though because I have read a lot lol.
