Here's a real gem from the Longhorns Wire...

When will they learn? It's not about this move or that move in recruiting or the portal. It's about player development and system culture. Texas isn't there...yet. Michigan lost more than a few pieces but they have more than a few coming back. If the core of the program stays (Herbert's strength and conditioning program) and they have some leaders in the locker room step into leadership positions vacated by JJ, Sainristil, Corum, Zinter, etc., they'll be just fine. Donovan can and should develop into that. Moore and CB1 can step into that. G&G at DT should step into that. The defense has potential to be better than this last year if the younger guys can develop into some key depth. Offensively, there are a few more questions to answer, particularly at QB, but that isn't due to lack of talent or ability, just playing time. They're going to be more than fine at RB and WR. Hinton and El-Hadi both have game experience on championship teams on the OL.
Intangibles were where this last team had an advantage over its competition. If they're going to be as successful next year, that will remain true and right now, there's little to no reason to believe that locker room isn't full of aspiring leaders that will take ownership of Team 145.
