Football Recruiting Catching up with 2023 RB Nygel Osborne

A little update on Nygel Osborne, he told me he still doesn't have a timeline for a commitment. He has also not been able to be on the field since mid-September.

Martinez played ok but

we beat Texas with Will Howard at quarterback. He would have carved them up just like he did with OK State and TCU.

Martinez put up some decent numbers, but every time he drops back, I hold my breath. It takes him forever to get the ball out and many of his passes come after sitting in the pocket for multiple seconds and/or having to extend the play with his legs. It's the exact opposite with Howard. He makes his reads quickly and the ball is always out on time.

Defenses also do not respect Martinez's ability to throw. They take Deuce out of the game and dare Martinez to beat them with his arm. Things opened up for Deuce more when Howard was at quarterback.

Again, I don't think Martinez is a bad player. I just think Howard is better and what he showed against OK State and TCU is better than anything we have seen out of Martinez (including the OU game).

Benching the Big 12 player of the week

takes brass balls but I wonder about the brains behind such a move. Same with slow walking down the field with little time left. Who’s running this show? I wonder if winning is their actual focus or is it appeasing the transfer Martinez. Kleiman raves about Martinez performance in post game. Hmmmm. Reminded me of his NU performances, which resulted in outcomes similar to tonight’s.

benching Howard’may have cost us a shot at the big 12 championship. Another outcome could be losing Howard to the transfer portal I mean if I’m the kid I’d take this personal. I go out and nab big 12 player of the week and get splinters the next week WTF coaches?
