  1. Rest & Recovery Take Priority Over Texas Bye Week (Thursday 11:45 a.m.) - Vogel (OTF) Primary injuries notes from the article below: DB Michael Taaffe, barring any setbacks, is still on schedule to return to the field for the trip to Athens. DB Jelani McDonald is in protocol still. There is hope he will be cleared early next week, but it is no guarantee with brain bruises. WR Ryan Wingo is not expected to miss time according to Steve Sarkisian, but how impactful will he be? That remains to be seen. Thumbs are important for wide receivers. WR Daylan McCutcheon was in a sling after the game on Sunday, but is expected to be available for next week. McCutcheon ended up seeing time on the field in the 2nd half vs. Vanderbilt. DB Xavier Filsaime was dinged up at the conclusion of the game last Saturday. I do not have any new updates on Filsaime and his status. I believe it was a stinger to the shoulder, but will double check.
  2. There's also probably pressure on paying anything that has been paid back (at least verbally), unless it's explicitly stated in the contract (which I'm not sure is allowed, anyways).
  3. Texas is making strides in areas that matter down the stretch - Howe (OTF)
  4. Recruiting: Coaches on the road; 5-star visit update (Thurs. 5:30am CT) By Gerry Hamilton Recruiting: Coaches on the road; 5-star visit update Members of the Texas staff will be on the road starting today. Stops include LSU 4-star+ OT commit Brysten Martinez, 4-star defensive line commit Corey Wells, 4-star+ defensive line commit Vodney Cleveland various stops in the Lone Star State and likely a coach in the Sunshine State. OTF dives into the latest on the recruiting trail as the coaches begin their stops for the week. November 22-23 visitor list ... 5-star Richard Anderson, DL, New Orleans, La./Edna Karr - *LSU commit (maybe/likely) There were reports of Anderson possibly visiting for the Texas A&M game. That is not what OTF was told Wednesday night. It's the Arkansas game weekend that Texas is targeting, and had discussions about with Anderson and his circle yesterday. There is some pressure from those around LSU NIL to not make any visits. Texas coaches are expected by the school Friday. 4-star+ Brysten Martinez, OT, Gonzales, La./East Ascension - *LSU commit Texas had a very successful unofficial visit last weekend, and now are expected to receive and OV. Who and when LSU makes their hire looms large here. 4-star+ Dre Quinn, EDGE, Buford, Ga./High - Ohio State or Texas decision expected by the 6-4, 230-pounder. The Buckeyes may have the slight momentum edge currently. 3-star++ Toray Davis, DB, Boulder, Colo./Fairview - Washington very much in it after a recent OV. November 22-23 will be a first visit to Texas. Defensive line recruiting ... Four junior college prospects are being evaluated. Two at defensive tackle, and two at edge. More on that in the coming days. Texas continues to recruit 4-star+ DL and Florida pledge Kendall Guervil (Fort Myers, Fla./High). This is the first week that Guervil has been a little more shaky about coming in for a visit. Florida collective applying a lot of pressure right now to stick. Texas would accept a flip commitment from 4-star EDGE and Baylor pledge Jamarion Carlton (Temple, Texas/High). Texas is also staying in contact with 5-star LSU EDGE commit Trenton Henderson (Pensacola, Fla./Pine Forest).
  5. Relevant to this discussion: Thursday By Bobby Burton While the focus for many fans rightly remains on the rest of the Longhorns’ regular season, behind the scenes is a different story for much of the Texas staff. Steve Sarkisian and his personnel team are prepping diligently for next spring and the 2026 season from a roster construction standpoint. Gerry Hamilton wrote this morning about a number of potential high school prospects (and possibly a junior college player or two, as well). While adding new talent to the mix is always important, it is far from the only moving roster piece currently receiving major attention of the Longhorns’ coaches. There is the 1) retention and 2) attrition of current players on the roster to be concerned with. And then there are 3) potential additions via the transfer portal. Texas is working on all three aspects, plus 4) high school recruiting. We hear a lot about high school recruiting, but not much about the current roster. That is by design during the football season. No one wants to take away the focus on the season itself. So Brandon Harris and the personnel staff are like ducks swimming in a pond right now. Things may appear calm, cool and collected above water, but beneath the surface, they’re paddling as fast and efficiently as they can. To this point, outside of a couple of players, like Jerrick Gibson and Will Stone, no other current Longhorn has announced a decision to enter the transfer portal. Surely there will be more attrition. But who and how much? That’s what no one, including Texas or even the current players, knows for sure. Perhaps the biggest factor lording over the situation is the new revenue sharing limits. For many teams across the NCAA, that will mean more money to distribute to rosters. For some, like Texas, it might mean less than previous years. And that will be the most interesting aspect of the off-season. How do the new revenue sharing rules and limits effect roster construction? Will it hurt a team’s depth? After all, a second teamer at Georgia could be a starter at Maryland. Will it change the personnel focus from high school recruiting to player retention? How do you best combine all of those four aspects to create not only the best team for 2026 but the best program for the long haul? We don’t have the all the answers quite yet. No one does IMO. So I get the distinct feeling that this may be the most interesting off-season in college football ever. Prepare yourself for it now, just like the Texas personnel staff is already behind the scenes. I think it’s going to be wild.

  7. Texas at Duke (75-60) thoughts: Morning after - Gerry
  8. UPDATE 10:40 pm: Berymon tells OTF he is still “100% committed to Texas” and remains in the class. Though now more willing to listen to schools elsewhere it appears.
  9. Bobby's thoughts on the matter:

  11. 2026 DL Dylan Berymon Re-Opens Recruitment By CJ Vogel 38 minutes ago Texas loses a commitment from one of its 2026 defensive linemen. Ouchita Parish (La.) DL Dylan Berymon tweeted late Tuesday evening he would be re-opening his recruitment. Berymon had been flirting with other SEC programs with Ole Miss being the biggest contender. Berymon committed to the Longhorns on June 7th after his official visit in the summer. Now, Texas moves forward with 20 commits in the 2026 class, with Corey Wells, Vodney Cleveland, and James Johnson as members of the defensive line haul.
  12. I know the opponent sucked, but it was great to see Preston (7-10, 16 pts) and Lee (9-14, 3-5, 21 pts) looking to score. That wasn't either of their MOs last season.
  13. Tuesday - Bobby
  14. Texas Monitoring New 2026 In-State Cornerback | Tuesday 9:50 a.m. - Vogel
  15. It would be incredible, but I just don't see SCar winning at Kyle.
  16. No mention of McCutcheon or Filsaime
  17. Recruiting Tidbits | Jamarion Carlton - Vogel Jamarion Carlton Visit The Baylor edge commit was back on campus Saturday for the first time since his pledge in July. Texas was quite a ways away from the NIL offer made by the Bears at the time of the commitment, but the interest in the Horns remains from Carlton's side. Keep an eye here. Baylor sits at 5–4 on the season, and while the NIL offer was one that was clearly hard to say no to, there are other factors here that lean in favor of the Longhorns should they give the green light.

  19. I just hope we aren't bitching about Kirby stealing Sark's lunch money for the third-straight time.
  20. Lol, I looked this shit up and still screwed it up. I meant to type week 12. The Vandy thread's week (says 9, not 10) was incorrect, and that threw me off. Thanks and edited.
  21. Yeah, which is why the title says "week 12" instead of 11.
  22. Texas vs. Duke: Injury notes ahead of Tuesday's season opener (Sunday 2:38pm CT) - Gerry I am excited for Miller's tenure here and have a lot of optimism. However, lay the points in this one. It looks like it's going to the typical blowout by Duke. Duke -7.5 seems too small given it's the first game of the season and Texas isn't full strength.
  23. Sarkisian Made the Adjustment, Now He Must Stick With It (Sunday) - Vogel (OTF) More about how bad we've been in 12 personnel and how good 11 has been.
