Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Full Roster Weaponization
tokamak replied to closetojumping's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Here's my thoughts on our needs. I'm using the excellent Google Sheets roster maintained by @AP101S: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TzoBTIvCXfZIk7Sz3C9txMg0yPvrXyVM/edit?gid=1327300395#gid=1327300395 QB: Not a big need. Supposedly Owens is gone. Arch is the starter with Lacey backing him up. I could see going out and getting another Caldwell-type, just for an emergency. RB: Sark says "potentially". Conventional wisdom says they'll be looking for a potential starter. Expecting this room to clear out quite a bit. WR: Personally, I could see us passing. We have a lot of numbers here and plenty of needs elsewhere. Latest reporting I've seen is that they'd like to keep the young guys around if they can. TE: Not a big need, especially if Endries is back. They like the young guys on the roster. Maybe a blocking surface if Shannon moves on. OT: Starters are set, but how good do they feel about the 3rd option if someone gets injured? Dunno how you bring in a portal option to be your 3rd tackle, though. IOL: Dear God yes. Dire need. Two guys AT LEAST, please. DE: Good numbers, and good quality already on the roster. Expensive. I think we're set. DT: Acknowledged by Sark as a need. Seems like the numbers are OK. Either they must not love Watson or believe the young guys aren't ready yet. LB: Sark says "potentially". Seems like a need, because you have Lefau, Smith, and then nothing. CB: Losing Muhammad, but seems like we're in OK shape here with Littleton/Black/Phillips. S: Depends on a lot of things. Does McDonald return? Is Derek Williams SEC starter quality? Jonah Williams going to focus on baseball? I'm guessing this is why Sark said "potentially". -

I'm a little surprised to see Sark say that interior DL is a need, especially in such a straightforward way. Next year we'll have Kanu, January, Watson, Lavon Johnson (?), and then Terry/Sharma/Charles from last year's recruiting class. Seems like you could get a 4-man rotation out of that group, unless they're just really down on Watson and Johnson. -

I think the picture is becoming clear that the staff is trying to decide if they want Wisner to be The Man next year, and Wisner is trying to decide if he wants to stick around without a guarantee of being The Man. Purely business decisions on both ends, I presume. -

247 prediction where are they now: Quarterback Dia Bell Texas Running Back Derrek Cooper (Photo: Andrew Ivins, 247Sports) Texas Carthage (Tex.) four-star KJ Edwards committed to aggy in June and stuck with it Wide Reciever Pearland (Tex.) Shadow Creek three-star Chris Stewart Texas Aledo (Tex.) four-star Kaydon Finley just never really seemed like a match, ended up at Notre Dame Frisco (Tex.) Panther Creek four-star Jalen Lott we wanted this guy the whole cycle it seemed, circled back one last time late but he stuck with Oregon Norman (Okla.) North four-star Mason James I don't remember this guy ever being on our radar. Signed with Washington Tight End Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei five-star Mark Bowman got an insane NIL deal from USC Brunswick (Ga.) four-star Heze Kent seemed like we decided we weren't that interested. signed with Florida Offensive Line Mansfield (Tex.) Lake Ridge five-star Felix Ojo signed with Tech for huge NIL Klein (Tex.) three-star Nicolas Robertson Texas Melissa (Tex.) three-star Max Wright flipped to SMU like a week ago Clearwater (Fla.) four-star Samuel Roseborough A&M Fort Worth (Tex.) North Crowley four-star John Turntine III Texas Defensive Line Fort Myers (Fla.) four-star Kendall Guervil we tried a lot with this guy but never could pry him off his Florida commitment Tupelo (Miss.) three-star JaReylan McCoy I don't remember much contact with this guy. signed with Florida Monroe (La.) Ouachita Parish four-star Dylan Berymon seems like we might have cut him loose. 247 doesn't show him as signed with anyone Richland (N.J.) St. Augustine Prep three-star Damari Simeon don't remember this guy. signed with Ohio State EDGE Temple (Tex.) four-star Jamarion Carlton flipped to Texas like a week ago after being committed to Baylor forever Prineceton (N.J.) Hun School four-star Luke Wafle we were a finalist but USC came in with big NIL supposedly Norcross (Ga.)

Edna Karr three-star CB Hayward Howard Jr. — Texas Westlake Village (Calif.) Oaks Christian four-star S Davon Benjamin we really wanted this guy but Oregon beat everyone Houston (Tex.)

My work blocks Twitter, so this is what this post looks like on my screen. I was thinking to myself, "hmm, I doubt $1/week gets it done for a guy like Henry". -

5-star WRs committed to Ohio State seem like a good investment to me -

Going shopping with whatever we had earmarked for Anderson perhaps? -

I think RB has to be considered alongside the chatter that we will be pursuing a big time contributor there in the portal. Cooper is a good get and it doesn't make a lot of sense to get 2 right now if we're going to the portal. -

I specifically remember someone (Bobby?) saying two years ago that he believed the junior Turntine to be the best OL in the state regardless of class. -

Wisner maybe? Just a wild guess. -

tOSU also went out and bought the best defensive player in college football off another blue blood's roster -

At least they’re consistent. They were big mad at Joe Biden that he didn’t wave his magic president wand and lower the price of everything. Now same deal for Trump. I have some really bad news for them about the next guy (or gal).
