  1. Agreed. I try not to be the ‘overreact to one game’ guy but I would feel semi comfortable with 1 badass RB from the portal + Cooper + Clark if it meant we could use the funds elsewhere. I don’t know how you don’t portal if you are Simon after how this bowl season/practices played out (getting passed by Terry). I’m sure Clark is going to have coaches crawling in his DM’s too the next week.
  2. IT said they are hearing the flu bug might be going around the team
  3. FCB portal/NFL update: Goosby: "There are some big arrows pointing to Goosby returning to Texas next season, but Goosby is getting a lot of positive feedback about where he could be selected if he entered the 2026 NFL Draft." Gave it a 55% chance of him returning. Endries: "Endries went to New York City for the Heisman Trophy presentation as an invited guest of Heisman winner Mendoza, and sources said the 6-foot-4, 240-pound Endries indicated then that he was done with college football and would be entering the NFL Draft.". Gave it an under 50% chance he returns. Kanu: "There are arrows pointing toward a return in 2026." Gave it a 55% chance he returns. Robertson: "sources close to the situation believe Robertson will return in 2026" DL Emmanuel Oyebadejo (Jacksonville State) is a name to know in the portal. He shares an agent with Brandon Harris. "There are two Power Four receivers who have yet to announce their intentions to enter the transfer portal who could surface as options for Texas with the Longhorns likely only taking one. The most appealing of those two receivers, in my opinion, had a nice game against Texas in the 2024 season." (Sounds like TJ Moore) "The Longhorns have at least two high-priority players on the current roster (not named Arch Manning or Colin Simmons) they really, really want to keep who are being pursued like crazy by other programs. The market cuts both ways." "I was told by a couple of agents of players on the Texas roster when a high school recruit who gets a six-figure commitment from the Longhorns and then doesn't play significant snaps, those players will receive a reduced offer the following season. Experienced agents, such as those certified to represent NFL players, understand that and explain it to their clients. But as we heard from Sarkisian on Tuesday, Texas isn't always dealing with experienced agents."
  4. Good timing. I was talking baseball over the holidays and getting excited for the season. I really don’t think there are that many unknowns at this point. Starting 9 seems pretty straightforward to me: C- Tinney 1B- Borba 2B- Mendoza SS- Rodriguez 3B- Becerra RF- Robbins CF- Williams LF- Pack/Larson (Larson was injured most of the fall so he’ll need to hit the ground running in January) DH- Livingston Rotation will most likely be some form of Volantis, Harrison, Flores and Leffew. Ruger and Grubbs will be the Swiss Army knives and Burns the likely closer. This has to be the deepest pitching staff I can remember in a really, really long time. Kade Bing was our Tuesday starter last year and I’m wondering what type of role he is even going to have this year.
  5. I don’t think they have an issue paying what Tre Wisner was asking for. They just weren’t going to pay it to Tre Wisner.
  6. Wingo outperformed the #1 receivers at Georgia, Tech, Ole Miss and Bama this year.
  7. We are not getting two RB1’s to play with each other + Cooper and I’m not even sure we should want to pay for that.
  8. Just said the 3 schools main schools mentioned for him were us, OU and OSU
  9. Some connected posters on the Florida On3 board seem to think Texas will be involved and they are upset about losing him
  10. Probably because agents are involved. Although considering how the Goosby family has operated with both Trevor and his brother, I'm assuming they have a good process/representation and aren't just looking for money grabs.
  11. Gerry made an interesting comment on OTF this morning that his Florida sources don't think they will be able to keep both Baugh and Dallas Wilson. Likely only one.
  12. Portal update from IT While anything truly new is hard to come by when it comes to certain portal targets before they actually become portal targets, we’ll do our best to give you the latest. We’ll include a layer of important retention notes as well as a look at what to expect when the portal opens on January 2. Portal WatchAs we’ve mentioned, Texas would be an ideal landing spot for Florida RB Jadan Baugh. Following Jabbar Juluke to Austin wouldn’t surprise a handful of people behind the scenes. At the moment, the new Florida staff doesn’t really know where it stands with Baugh, according to sources. New head coach Jon Sumrall spoke with Baugh and his family last week and came out of the meeting feeling like they made their best pitch. Still, there’s growing sentiment that Texas could ultimately be Baugh’s destination. Juluke was the coach who stood on the table for the Peach State product in Gainesville. There’s a sense the Forty Acres would be Baugh’s top spot if he enters the portal this week. With a handful of bowl games being played over the last few days, don’t be surprised to see several players declare their intentions to enter the portal who would fit Texas quite nicely—most notably at wide receiver and defensive tackle. We’re monitoring a pair of former TXHSFB prospects and former Texas targets, among others. RETENTION EFFORTSTexas still has a few loose ends to tie up before the transfer portal opens on January 2. The two most notable are Trevor Goosby and Ryan Wingo. Both will be playing in the Citrus Bowl on Wednesday while their agents handle the business side of the business. Sources tell Inside Texas that both want nothing more than to return to Austin for a national title run in 2026. Both are viewed in the highest regard by the team and staff. Both are considered priorities and would be difficult to replace, however, the school understands it needs to have back-up plans just in case. There’s some confidence that both situations will be resolved before the surge hits college football in five days—but it’s something we’re still monitoring Monday morning. Moving on: we still cannot rule out a negative surprise as some lower profile, but still-important negotiations are ongoing. Texas should put these little fires out but you just never know. LOOMING CHAOSTo be sure, it’s already a chaotic mess behind the scenes. While Inside Texas remains confident in Texas’ ability to land a great portal haul, a ton of work remains. We don’t get the sense that paperwork is going to start rolling in right as the portal opens and/or players are officially in. Again, nothing can be “done” until the player is officially in the portal on January 2. To our knowledge, there is only one player who seems like he’s for sure heading to Texas. The window from Jan 2-16 is likely to be crazy throughout and beyond. Expect a lot of movement once the portal officially opens, with Inside Texas tracking developments in real time as dominoes begin to fall.
  13. Pass. He was committed here at one point and there was a lot of stuff during his recruitment that raised red flags. He had a decent year this year but how much of that was because of OL/schedule.
  14. On3 National reporter said we have made contact with this guy and are interested
  15. IT We’re still watching retention for Texas. The ball is in Trevor Goosby’s and Ryan Wingo’s court in that regard. Both would love nothing more than to return to Texas—but you know how it goes these days. More on Goosby this morning Re: The Goosby thread. Like we've said, the ball is in Goosby's court on his return to Texas. The Draft is not their preference due to his age and relative lack of experience. If Goosby walks, potentially to the portal, Texas does have a backup plan but it likely won't improve the line while still leaving issues to address on the O-line. This is a "risk on" move. Hopefully he just comes back.
  16. Garrett Wilson couldn’t find any other good pictures besides from his high school prom?
  17. This always seemed like a delicate situation because he had to be our de-facto RB1 the last few years due to injuries and poor decision making outside his control. Now, heading into his senior year, we were going to ask him to, at minimum, be in a 1A/1B type role. Money considerations aside, he probably wants more of a sure situation in his final year.
  18. How did Nic Codie start for this team at one point
  19. It was tiring to hear the 9.95ers rave about him being the first player to practice every day and how he was molding his game after Jordan Whittington when his actions the last two offseasons have been the opposite of anything Whittington would do.
