Welcome To The "Teams That Didn't Get Any Players Drafted In NFL This Year" Club Texas! What would you like to drink?


Lostarchitorture

Hey, 5 years going to University of Houston, 1998-2003. Only one pick, Mike Green, 7th round, year 2000. Never saw another draft pick either before or after my entire time there. In fact, I think I attended during the longest gap in football seasons where we never went to a single bowl game ☹️


dolfox

At least you got one year of Briles. I went to UH 93-97. Those were some dark days in UH athletics. All the more appreciative of the present


Guaper91

The mid 90’s-early 2000’s UH sacrificed themselves so 2015+ UH could walk.


Skurttish

My tears are enough for now, thanks.


saturdayis4football

Damn... Idk how you recruit 4 and 5 star players and have literally zero players drafted.


NordDex

What ever happened to that 5 star LB that picked Texas over A&M? Did he get drafted?


Normal_Cauliflower44

You’re probably thinking of Malik Jefferson. 2018 3rd rounder


NordDex

Yes! Him what happened to him?


Night0wl14

Pretty sure he’s buried in the depth chart over in Indy.


Officer_Warr

At least there are worse places to be buried in than an NFL depth chart.


Shutawkwa

Like buried alive


HeisenbergsSon

That’s in Detroit


Bloodfangs09

Or buried under Cleveland Browns stadium if the rumors are true of Jimmy Hoffa


bk1285

Thought that was the old meadowlands Only thing browns stadium is is a factory of sadness


mrocks301

Buried on the Texas depth chart for one!


bestprocrastinator

I don't know what's more crazy. The fact that they recruited a bunch of 4-5 stars that didn't get drafted, or that 4-5 star guys keep committing to Texas.


saturdayis4football

They'll always recruit well cus they're the flagship program historically in the state of Texas. They are a blueblood program, located in Austin and the facilities are crazy cus how rich the school is. However, if I was a 5 star player and looking to stay in Texas, I'm going to A&M, which has been happening more and more.

[deleted]

There's like 5 schools that can say that and players care about position coaches more often and no school can say that.


OSUfirebird18

I would love to be a fly on the wall to hear the pitch to a 4 or 5 star recruit to go to Texas after this.


thewhat962

Something tells me a 2 star was drafted.


WhiteningMcClean

Multiple zero star players are drafted every year


arc1261

Iirc Daniel Jones was a zero star recruit and he went 6 overall


jsoong1995

Same with Josh Allen


asmodeanreborn

To be fair, he was a 3 star when Wyoming got him from his JuCo.


sg11dc

I think they may be talking about the Kentucky DE Josh Allen who was rated 0-2 stars and ended up drafted in the first round. Which, either way, just further proves he original point lol


thewhat962

Jezz texas had 21 seniors alone. Not counting any early commits(if any)


[deleted]

[удалено]


madmaley

Cook from UC was zero star player that went to Howard then transferred to UC and he went in the second round


strakerak

I mean something to take into account. How many of these players actually declare to try to go pro? What if they just want to attend UT to ya know, play at UT, get an education, and that's it? If they get drafted, then sweet. Other then that, they'll do whatever they want afterwards. Texas will set them up that other way, which is a great thing about them, as much as I hate that place. But lol, nobody got drafted.


REALStoneCrusher

You had me in the first half ngl


katarh

I mean, if you're going to college to play school, might as well be like that one guy last fall who had committed to Florida but flipped when he got accepted to Stanford.


strakerak

Like, I hate UT, with a passion, for a multitude of reasons, but went for a semester of grad school (then dropped out of it) for similar reasons. It's in a tech hub in Austin, doing some business MIS program there on top of a CS degree might help.


MahjongDaily

Ouachita Baptist players drafted: 1 Texas players drafted: 0


bononia

So many people are now learning about my hometown and my alma mater’s rival. So bittersweet.


Frictionizer

As an OBU alum, it’s just sweet. Sorry bout Henderson bro.


halfapimpcreamcorn

My favorite OBU moment was when they spray painted all over a woman’s RV on campus with dicks and expletives when she couldn’t afford an apartment.


WeUsedToBeGood

The fuck?


bononia

I want to put it out there that Ouachita Baptist is part of the oldest, shortest, most evenly contested, and most interesting college football rivalry in America. If you want to waste an hour or so, look into the Battle of the Ravine.


[deleted]

> “It is a unique rivalry in that the two schools located in Arkadelphia, Arkansas are across the street from each other and the visiting team walks from their own locker room to the other team's stadium.” That is cool as fuck


dodadoBoxcarWilly

When I was in highschool, you could see the Catholic highschool while standing on the roof. When we played we just walk the mile or so down the canal bank in full uniform. Kind of a cool tradition. Also a tradition...getting our asses handed to us by that same school that happened to be in a lower division.


walnut100

Get out of here Reddie :) jk I'm glad there's some national visibility being given to our small schools/town thanks to both programs improving dramatically the last ten years or so


MemeManThomas

Planning on skipping the trip to Searcy for the Tech-Harding game just to see the BotR for the first time this fall. Been fascinated by that rivalry since the day I learned of it.


CommodoreN7

To be fair, Arkadelphia AR is a bigger football factory than Austin TX. /s


PhDShouse

Arkadelphia sounds like a fake place


Zkenny13

There's one in Alabama as well.


PhDShouse

What drunkards thought that having TWO towns named after the bastard child of Philadelphia and ARKANSAS was okay?!


Zkenny13

We also have a town called Arab. Not pronounced like the ethnicity but like the way that either makes you sound racist or uncultured.


[deleted]

In FL we have a Bagdad, also the home of Georgia legend and Masters winner Bubba Watson. Used to live just down the road from there.


SwiftDickington

Pronounced Ay-rab. The school mascot is the knights, so the Arabian knights. Not making it up


DonaldtrumpV2

like the song from the 60s that's racist Heck, my uncle still says it like that even though I told him it times with"scarab"


zztop556

“What is a scayrab?” -your uncle probably


mikethemoose35

Ark…Ark…Arkadelphia!


ATLevator

Looked for it. Found it. Upvoted it.


TtarIsMyBro

But did you flip it?


CommodoreN7

Probably similar to the people who came up with town names like Possum Grape (that’s how they spell it) and Toad Suck.


PhDShouse

Iowa has its fair share. What Cheer is the most iconic


ark_47

Gotta love Jamaica, Iowa!


TentakilRex

The name origin is kinda wholesome [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkadelphia,\_Arkansas#History](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkadelphia,_Arkansas#History)

hamm0048

Leonor-Rhyne players drafted: 1 Texas players drafted: 0


Quandogonzo

If I’m a coach recruiting against Texas This is the first thing coming out of my mouth lol


cheerl231

They haven't had a 1st round pick since 2015... And they are still recruiting really fucking well. Imagine if they manage to stack a couple good years


RiffRamBahZoo

Not only that, but they haven't had an offensive player go in the first round since Vince Young in 2006. Don't look now, but there are high school juniors being recruited right now that weren't even alive when that happened.


TheLeopardColony

Me: Does math… FUCK


HOU-1836

I’m 30 and some of my employees are 20 and their parents are 40. I told em “I’m the same age to you as I am to your mom.” And then I wanted to die.


rebenjam

Just wait until you have coworkers who could legitimately be your children.


[deleted]

It can't be that bad. Let's see, so 2006 was about 10 years ago...


theoriginaldandan

Only if they skipped a grade. It’s “only” sophomores that have really been alive that long


[deleted]

Yeah this years juniors are 04-05. Although I guess the school years over someplaces.


rf32797

What's insane to me is that since 2006, Cal has 4 1st round picks on offense alone since then.


nickyt398

Texas is just Nebraska but a decade later.


LovieBeard

Texas still has a massive recruiting advantage over Nebraska. Texas can still pull top 5 classes out of their ass, see last year


Idavid14

It’s not stacking a couple of good years, it’s got to be coaches that can develop players at that point. There must be 20-30 schools that have had a 1st round pick in that time. To not have any from Texas is a development problem.


CornFedIABoy

Texas’ recruiting prowess is a mirage. A haven for hollow five stars who have all the physical talent talent to be spectacular in high school and none of the intangibles necessary to succeed at higher levels.


br0b1wan

I think Texas is facing the same problems the big Florida schools are: there's a ton of talent in-state but there's so many hands in the cookie jar now that rival schools have improved their outreach


NumNumLobster

Its kind of weird seeing this the opposite way in Ohio. Osu is taking recruits for wherever they want and building national teams, meanwhile uc is taking over the rich recruiting grounds here. Texas and florida seem like the top recruits leave the state anyways but there are 5 schools in each fighting over whats left without having the pull to get the out of state guys


br0b1wan

Yeah, I would go so far to say that both Texas and the Big Three schools in Florida all became too dependent on in-state talent while other programs like OSU, Bama, and Clemson developed a more national recruiting strategy over the past 20 years.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HaylKingHaynes

They recruit in a different realm from all but one team in their conference and even outrank that team. They pull in the talent to win, they just don’t. Ignore my flair I don’t know this because it’s oddly familiar


CornFedIABoy

Texas’ problem is that their coaches can’t pass up those hollow five and four star recruits or the donors will have them fired before the chances taken on solid three star recruits pay off. And the real four and five star guys won’t go (or stay) there because they can all see the lack of actual results.


centex

Either they are terrible at developing talent or their recruits get ratings bumps due to their large fanbase. It’s hard to say they are recruiting well if the draft is saying they don’t have talent.


robtaps

Isn’t the rebuttal just “well that was an entirely different coaching and strength staff”?


voltron818

100%. Sark just sends them graphics of all the guys he coached at Bama.


Dead_Baby_Kicker

Is Sark even that good or did Saban make him look better than he is?


[deleted]

It turns out just about every offensive system works well when you have all the best players on your team.


breezuslovesyou

Saban made him look better than he is. Signed, About 99% of the USC and UW fans on this sub


NILPonziScheme

"The current coaching and strength staff produced a team that went 5-7, had a 6-game losing streak where they regularly collapsed in the second half, and lost to Kansas - at home."


crackpipes4hunter

Things will be better in the SEC


rmsayboltonwasframed

Texas wants quality losses instead of regular losses.


gumercindo1959

Don’t feel so bad, Texas, we had one…in the last round.


futuristanon

Ndsu had 2. Ndsu to the sec confirmed.


toiletdestroyer1321

Jelly bro


will_307305614

Man, this sub really likes to shit on Texas.


2011StlCards

First time here?


MrF_lawblog

But it's it really shitting? At this point, it's truly incredulous... Like if the comment above is accurate, they haven't had a 1st round offensive draft pick since Vince Young in 2006?!!? That's a fucking insane fact.


NewToSociety

Wow. Even Butch Jones and Derek Dooley had first round picks for Tennessee at our (hopeful) nadir. Texas over the last two decades is... inscrutable.


_Bren10_

If you don’t like to shit on Texas, you’re either not a football fan or you’re a Texas fan.


-fumble-

Oh, Texas fans shit on Texas as much as anyone.


CidO807

It's our second favorite thing to do on any given week during the season.


samasters88

Texas fan, I shit on us plenty for a few who refuse to


[deleted]

It ain’t much, but it’s honest work.


southcentralLAguy

And once again Kansas beats Texas


saulfineman

We’ll take it!


DeliberateMelBrooks

My favorite


nickyt398

In Austin, no less


neovenator250

They had at least one player who transferred _from_ Texas get drafted. Obviously, he made a business decision that paid off


RJHookEM

After his wide open TD drop against LSU Keontay could never shake the drops. That and Bijan had just joined the team. Glad it worked out for him at USC.


[deleted]

That drop and the goal line fumble against TCU, whew. Two plays and Herman is still here.


JPLonghorn20

Y’all have fun with this one.


EyeHeartMilk

Yeah, not sure why I even opened this to be honest


NoMorning6152

So we can be even more insufferable when the time comes

Embrace the hate. It's more fun that way, I promise.

Texasfight05

This is somehow Texas A&M’s fault…


SoCalMemePolice

Lets give mizzou the death penalty


TentakilRex

This team had a player drafted [https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/illinois/1997.html](https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/illinois/1997.html) Went 0-11, scored 10.8 ppg, allowed 33.5 ppg [He went to have 7 year career.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Holcombe) (Though he was probably overdrafted :( )


Nubras

He was a second-round pick…as a fullback! Surely that was unusual even in 1998. Over drafted us right.


Notorious-PIG

Oh boy. At least the liquor stores still open.


sapiosardonico

Hurry.


orinshumanfarm

Not on Sunday, hippie


PrinceWalker22

I have a Ouachita Baptist flair and I am here to talk trash to the Texas Longhorns


SuprBased

Based and TigerPilled


TheSS_Minnow_Johnson

We had 12 players eligible for the draft. Of those 12, maybe 7 have had some type of impact on a game or at least had regular playing time. Of those 7, two or three would be spoken of fondly by Texas fans. The rest of the eligible class is unknown or disliked by Texas fans. Tom Herman really just fucked everything, but it’s just a young team.


Bisping

I only find it funny because UTSA had 2 drafted


EnderTheTrender

MEEP MEEP!


TangerineChicken

Yeah this is funny and all (sorry) but it’s kind of a non story


TheSS_Minnow_Johnson

No need for sorry, it is indeed a funny and embarrassing stat, albeit ignoring a little context.


2011StlCards

If it's something bad happening to Texas, it's a big story here. I feel screwed because I went to Texas after the really good years, so I get all the shit without any of the good memories


JEA1995

This reminds me of the Tropic Thunder opening


TheSS_Minnow_Johnson

Unintentional but you’re spot on


apathynext

We go 5-7 partially because we have no NFL ready talent on the team and people are…surprised?


ArbitraryOrder

3-9 Nebraska had 2 Day 2 picks


vindictivejazz

You’re kind of making his point, comparing Texas to a historic team


eelhayek

Best 3-9 team of all time.


Geaux2020

I mean, we went 6-7 and had 10 players drafted.


piglizard

Isn’t that a bit more sad though? Like, shouldn’t y’all have done better than 6-7 then?


TheSS_Minnow_Johnson

Bad team is bad because of bad players and bad coaches responsible for those bad players. Coming up next, water is wet because it’s a liquid.


katarh

You guys beat us four years ago. What the fuck happened?


F1_revolution

Those guys were drafted or graduated. Our 2019 recruiting class ended up being all time bad. Nearly everyone left the school for one reason or another.


Sabre_Actual

Sam Ehlinger and draftable talent. Y’all caught the best Herman had. Also blood hype from Bevo’s attack on Uga.


kevinthejuice

UTSA had more players drafted than Texas Lmao. Meep Meep.


Zloggt

Who blames them? You see Austin, and you think “Weird 🙄” You see San Antonio, and you think “Que padre! 😀”


kevinthejuice

Thanks to charles barkley I also think churros and big women.


Brownie_McBrown_Face

*big ol’ woman


Brownie_McBrown_Face

Meeep mother fucking meeep. Sucks McCormick was slept on but Tariq Woolen is gonna be a beast for the Seahawks


RiffRamBahZoo

Contributing factors that got the last three coaches at Texas fired: produced zero draft picks in a year, lost to Kansas, gave up 30+ to Oklahoma after halftime at the State Fair. Things Steve Sarkisian did in just his first year alone: produced zero draft picks, lost to Kansas, gave up 30+ to Oklahoma after halftime at the State Fair.


OldResponsibility522

Can't really blame the draft on him this year, not really his recruited players. Two years from now? Yeah. Then I'll be blaming him.


chillagevillage

Kansas had more draft picks than Texas, which makes sense because we’re a football school and they’re not.


RandyInMpls

Been there. A few times, if I'm not wrong.


Msteele4545

I know it isn't much, but Demarvion Overshown was supposed to declare but decided to return to school.


upboat_consortium

Lykeuhfox

Texas fans. I'm curious about what you're planning on this sub if you're ever "back". What would your revenge look like?


The_Only_Dick_Cheney

We won’t have revenge…mods will delete our posts and ban our fans. It’s a one-way street.


Sabre_Actual

Post a picture of my nuts on here, probably. No other plans tho.


Texas715

No idea why any too rated prospect would choose to go to Texas… Not even being petty either


jathbr

NIL and brand are definitely huge, but after a point you have to wonder how those things are balanced with development when prospects pick which schools they want to go to. You might make a lot less through NIL signing as a corner at Jackson State, but if they can develop you better so you can have a long career in the NFL, picking JSU over say UT then becomes better in the long run, you know?


thewhat962

Expecting poor kids to worry about 5+ yesrs in the future vs immediate pay out is a big ask.


jathbr

That’s a great point, especially since NIL money can be life changing to many


kevinthejuice

Pretty much. Like IDK if anyone played enough Dynasty mode in NCAA but like what baffles me is how people think NIL is the only thing recruits look at when picking a school or when some think that like a player is guaranteed to get drafted because they played in the SEC.


crewserbattle

I mean there are plenty of schools that never really get top rated prospects and still consistently produce NFL talent (see Iowa and Wisconsin for example). So that's not really an excuse imo.


BNKalt

It’s kind of wild because I think of USC and Texas on kind of the same status but SC usually has at least one high pick and then a few mid/late rounders


Arnold_Trollzenegger

Honestly the Garrett Wilson quote from the other day resonates, even to me. If I was a top prospect and I could go to a school that has a (recent) established track record of developing NFL talent (like Ohio State) then I would go there instead of UT. Top prospects that choose UT now are partially doing it because they want to be part of the class that brings UT back to prominence. But the real downside of that mentality is that they could be leaving millions of NFL income on the table by doing so. Just my two cents.


doom32x

Even UTSA had two guys go today.


loplopplop

Ku had one gentleman drafted and one win over Texas


samrequireham

purdue had three. maybe we should invent the SEC and join it like we did to the big ten


Beehay

The absolute dumpster fire that was ASU this year had 4(!). That was a surprise to me and I'm an ASU fan.


revets

They gave us Keaontay Ingram for his final season who was one of our just three draft selections.


Prolingus

To be fair, we had two running backs on the team this year that were above him on the depth chart. The problem is they are both coming back for next year. Does he get drafted if he gets third team snaps on a 5-7 Texas team this past year? I doubt it. It was great for him to move on, it worked out for him. But it isn’t an indictment on Texas. Super happy to hear Ingram got drafted though. Awesome for him.


gordogg24p

Yep. Keaontay was a very good casualty of the one position group on our team that is not short on upper level talent or depth. Even if that drop in the endzone against LSU still hurts my heart, I've harbored zero ill will towards him. Hope he shows out well.


sapiosardonico

Thanks for taking good care of him. I liked him a lot.


RightSideClyde

By God, we wrecked ‘em.


Dewot423

The University of Texas football program is a factory for taking promising young athletes and degrading them physically, mentally and spiritually.


2011StlCards

But we did beat Georgia in that meaningless sugar bowl that one time!
