Phil Steele's 2019 Magazine hit the Texas shelves this morning. This is usually a great preview of what's going to happen. Phil also calls each head ball coach about two weeks before print so he has the most current info on the teams.

He has the following rankings: #5 OU, #11 UT, #14 TCU, #21 Iowa State.

Items of note, TCU is maybe the second heaviest OL in the Big XII this year at and average of 307lbs. It lists Coy McMillon starting over Kelton Hollis at Center and it shows Coy at 280 lbs. Oklahoma averages 321 lbs. Coy needs to add another 15 lbs this summer. We are taller though than OU.

It lists Alex Delton as the starter at quarterback, the Ohio State kid as the #2, #3 Mike Collins, #4 Justin Rogers.

He thinks TCU will challenge for the Big XII crown this year. I think this season comes down to the East Side being up and rocking by the time UT comes to town and making a revenge for the loss we had up in Ames two seasons ago to Iowa State. That game was AWFUL to watch our offense!

Gary would not have let Phil Steele put the Ohio State kid at #2 if he didn't think he would play this season. Also.... Shawn Robinson was not listed to be available to play at Mizzou this year despite his parents' efforts to trash TCU out the door.

Jalen Reagor is on the cover of this year's regional edition of the magazine.

I got mine at Barnes and Noble.

Only head scratcher I read was Phil saying he can see Texas competing for the national title this year. They lose 14 starters from last year and didn't TCU beat them 4 years in a row something like a combined score of 155-35 and they have to come to Cowtown this October. That will be their third and final game away from DKR that month and they will have already been potentially beaten up by LSU and OU before they roll into Funky Town. Just sayin'

I know coaches play nice with Phil but I also know that nobody is more paranoid than GP. I personally wouldn’t put any stock in a depth chart listed in any publication.

Depth chart is very reasonable though as that is exactly the order of healthy to unhealthy at the moment.

The problem with us running the wildfrog is that, even when it "works" (which I will concede it does work more often than not, but it should when you only need to gain 1 yard), it just looks so damn hard too often.

All that tells me is Rogers is number 2 and getting close to healthy. GP mind tricks at its best

One other small note from the Phil Steele magazine is that someone at TCU told them that Amon Carter's new official capacity is 50,000 even. I like it. Both size appropriate for our fanbase size but also large enough as "big time" football. If TCU does that north endzone project at some point, maybe that takes us to 55,000 and call it good.

This year’s immediate eligibility rate is 80% regardless of reason. It’s gotten much easier. His waiver is very similar to Tate Martell’s which was granted. Not only is the waiver similar in context, but they went to the same school and are dealing with the same situation. Additionally the NCAA granted Justin Fields a waiver that negatively effected Baldwin. Add in that the waiver sites personal issues that are prompting a transfer much closer to home. We are much closer to home. The NCAA often rules in favor of these transfers even without the other factors.

Added all up, the odds are massively in favor of Baldwin getting a waiver.

FYI...I’m sure you saw where last week the NCAA passed a rule to tighten up the transfer waiver rules..It likely just got much harder for Baldwin to win immediate eligibility. He now has to not only meet waiver criteria but has to actually get OSU to provide a letter to the NCAA on his behalf.
