Humidor: Pulse of the team entering holiday, freshmen adjusting, recruiting news
Players are still in Austin and still working out on their own, but more organized activity can begin in just a few weeks. What freshman on the scene have taken advantage of their time in Austin? Who is Texas looking at adding to their football and basketball recruiting classes? The Humidor has it.
2020 Position Outlook: Linebacker
An advantage the 2020 linebacker corps may have over the 2019 squad is the man leading it. This site opined often last year that Todd Orlando the linebackers coach hurt the efforts of Todd Orlando the defensive coordinator. Orlando has been replaced by Coleman Hutzler, who spent the previous four seasons with Will Muschamp at South Carolina.
Herman announces several player position changes in light of new hires
Texas’ offseason following the 2019 campaign included sweeping changes to the coaching staff, but Longhorns head coach Tom Herman announced several alterations in roles for his players who are just over a month away from spring practices.

An important position change, tracking the Texas offseason conditioning work, quotes from recent offers, catching up with Billy Bowman Jr., and more in the Scoop.
Inside the Gameplan: The 2019 dime package
While the 2018 defense was paced by a deep group of seniors, the pieces didn’t fit together to create a whole greater than the sum of its parts or perhaps even equal to the same sum.
Fridays in the Humidor – 3/29/19 (Team)
You guys know the drill, it's zero-sum, which is an important detail this week as the offensive line is struggling with the defensive line. That's to be expected, but as you'll read, there's still plenty of optimism with Herb Hand's group.
Fridays from the State Fair – 10/5/18
What's the best way to get recruits to watch OU football? Give them tickets to a Texas game. This year is the Sooners' turn to host and there will be a few common targets in attendance.
More important than who is at the game is the outcome. The virtuous circle of winning begetting elite recruits begetting winning would get a nice boost if Texas could pull out the win. If this team sticks to its profile of playing 'up' to its competition we should be in for a dandy 24 hours time.
UT Practice Report: 8/8/18
AUSTIN -- Wednesday brought full pads to the Wright Whitaker Fields, though unfortunately the pads weren’t truly popping until the media was escorted out.
Upon arrival, the offensive line was working on one of the more unique drills I’ve seen covering Texas. Each OL had a rep individually bear crawling before rolling, and after that was completed the OL would jump on a simulated fumble from the hands of Herb Hand.
The Inside Scoop – 12/18/17
Texas is going to sign a talented group of players on Wednesday but a full class it doesn't make. For this class to truly be a success (on paper) it will have to continue rounding out rough edges by adding on the lines, at linebacker, and by landing a supplementary explosive athlete or two. In my years of doing percentages this certainly won't rival some of the most optimistic efforts. Perhaps some chickens are about to come home to roost due to tardy overtures from the staff? We’ll see. Plus quotes after the OV weekend in Austin. All in the Scoop.
