Tarik Black transferring to Texas

Maybe he will have a quarterback that doesn’t over throw all his receivers.

Honestly I’m looking forward to the more twitchy receivers we have coming on in their second year/first. The big 3 all had issues creating consistent separation and Patterson sure as hell was not going to throw them open

Bet he does well there and goes in the first 4 rounds.

Ohio States best wide receiver is a lowly 3 star ranked almost 400 in the country. Maybe it's actually about the route running and effort that is put in rather than what rank they were in high school. None of their four stars were drafted except Hill, and he got drafted after DPJ. Remember, Michigan wanted Olave really bad.
Olave wasn’t draft eligible if that’s what you’re saying. With DPJ going to the NFL too early and now Tarik transferring, clearly the receiver room was in turmoil last year as the rumors have indicated.
What I'm saying is people are hung up on the stars way too much. I think the trio of receivers may have been overhyped and now it's someone else's fault besides theirs. Injuries to Tarik derailed him and DPJ never lived up to his hype. Also, people are always on here talking about OSU's offense, well it got one receiver drafted and that was after DPJ. Maybe their big 3 or 4 were criminally underused as well. Time will tell what Tarik does at Texas and what DPJ does with the Browns but I'm not sold on either being all that.

Bunch of games with 16 total pass attempts will do that...
Hope we do not see much of that in 2020...or whenever football returns.

And maybe because he won’t face a team that likes to play defense in the Big 12.

Nope, it will have to be because of better coaching, better qb play and a better scheme.
Better coaching? They struggle to win 8 games in a conference that plays 0 defense.
Texas has wins over Oklahoma and Georgia in the last couple years, that's a lot more than Michigan can say.
And they also lost to Maryland a couple of times. It is laughable to try and claim that Texas has better coaching is a fact, Texas has averaged 4-5 losses a year so far under Herman in a weaker conferences than the Big 10. Also a conference where very little defense is played.

Yep. Even in their rough years the last decade they were also able to beat Oklahoma a few times, while we roll over against Ohio St .
I hope he puts up ridiculous numbers in that no-defense conference!
At least he went to an ally
Sam Ehlinger is going to be his QB, which most regard as the best QB in the Big 12 for 2020.
The new OC at Texas is Ohio State's QB Mike Turcich.
HC is Tom Herman.
I hate admitting this, but he's probably better off someplace else. Sad to see him go.

Sometimes you just need a fresh start somewhere new. I wish him the best. Hope to see him in the NFL. Godspeed Tarik. Thank you for your efforts
