Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
Not overthinking. It's not a super hot take to think that the kid who chose to go to the ag school in Corvallis, OR and aspires to live miles from his nearest neighbor might not fuck with the big city vibe in Austin when compared to other options. Just an observation. Like I said, I'm speculating and there are obviously other factors at play. We'll know soon enough. It's fascinating to watch pay out. I think Williams may have really fucked himself. Or, conversely, if it plays out in a way that shows UW/B1Ghave essentially no recourse even with their supposedly beefed up contracts, maybe this is the case that leads to structural change.

UT does not have an ag program and Austin might as well be NYC compared ro Corvallis, Knoxville, or Fayettenam. We do like to play dress up in cowboy hats though and of course we have Bevo, so we've got that going for us. Just saying there's an obvious potential culture fit issue if money/oportunity is similar across other suitors. I'm just speculating of course, maybe a fat bag cures all.

There are better options than this but Flood is a size queen. Also his Oregon State bio says he's an ag major, enjoys hiking, camping, and fishing, and wants to be a cattle rancher after football. Something tells me Austin's not a great fit. Although I have to say, starting six games and not giving up a sack with Maalik Murphy back there is an accomplishment.

Unsprurpsing that Clark would try to maximize his earning potential between his bowl game performance and our RB depth. I can't imagine they let him walk unless it's truly stupid money. Whatever. I don't want to have to give up on him just yet but of the three 2025 wideouts, he's the least valuable. Not worth overextending for. Lucas Lovejoy has produced some bangers for us. Also unsurprising since his brother left and we're linked to portal edges. The Florida kid was one thing - if you can stack the two deep with NFL talent and move Spence primarially off ball, you do it - but bringing in a JAG from Oklahoma State is another. I assume he is gone. That stings. Thought Black might be squeezed out with the Rutgers CB coming in. Not a great loss for depth but if he wants a bigger role at this stage of his career it probably won't be here, so I get it. Saftey room is a little light, would like to keep Filsaime even though he looked iffy this year. Get the Akina off him for a year.

Eh. If anyone thought Texas was a serious contender there, that's on them. Would have frankly been a miracle. God that would be a disaster lmao. Just glancing at 247, there are some servicable OL options still uncommitted in the portal. Not holding my breath but it's possible they stumble into a couple decent pickups and patch together an OL that approximates average P4 level play. We're probbaly playing at least one guy either out of position or before they're really ready next year though. Names I'd look at on the interiot are Emmanual Poku (two year starting OG at ECU, 2nd team all AAC in 2025) and Paki Finau (6th man OL at Washington, started afew games at G. I watched several of their games this year and he is servicable). Of course, no idea where Texas is looking or if those guys are viable at this point.

Was going to post the same thing about these two specifically. Ralek Brown is a legitimately good get and a clear upgrade from Trey Wisner. But he needs to be part of a package. Mohammed really flashed late in the season as he got more carries, shredded Oregon, and would probably have run for 1,000 yards next year (he was behind Jonah Coleman this year) as Washington's featured back. He has an NFL future and I would hope Texas kicks the tires. Bryson Washington I think is probably a bit more JAGgy but he's still produced 1,800 career yards in a P4 league and a 5.5 ypc average at volume. Both are guys that can play at 215-220 and fill the workman inside runner role.

NFL free agents do visits too. Obviously it varies by player but scheme fit, meshing with the staff, etc. do generally matter. And it's a two way street, a chance to make an impression that maybe solidifies a staff's view.

Honestly not surprised if it ends up true. They need outside receivers in the worst way, and while Livingstone is simply P4 replacement level, he isntantly becomes their best at the position. He'll get a ton of run there and I'm not surprised they would give him the crazy money Texas wouldn't. Probably not going to tell them much they don't know about the Texas offense but that's a nice bonus for them too. He better know where Jelani McDonald is on every snap next year though.

Yeah it's hard not to be pessimistic on where the OL is trending. I think the Michigan C/G is an obvious take if he can be had but I'm not sure putting a square peg (Baker) into a round hole (Guard) is a good idea just to get the Michigan RT on board. Flood has been horrible on IOL evaluations to the point that if his preference is to play Baker at G, I start thinking it's probably not going to go well. Also you have BO&W saying Baker is a G in the NFL (narrator: "He is not."), so another sign that's stupid. We'll see how it all plays out of course. I'm sure there's several names we haven't heard yet that will pop up on the radar just as King did. But passing on a three year FBS starter with strong pass blocking grades, from a program that's done a pretty good job finding unheralded OL, because of vibes (his listed weight is avtually above Hutson and Robertson, though I know those can be fudged to varying degrees) does not seem like a great start. Like the early returns on defense and I know you've mentioned issues with Issac Brown and toughness/durability but he's a career 7.7 ypc guy on 266 carries. I can tolerate a bit of bullshit for that.

NFL Week 18_ 2 pseudo playoff games and the NFC#1 Seed up for grabs
Nasty performance the Seattle defense. 8-1 on the road in the NFL is crazy work. Active night for Byron Murphy too.

2025 CFP First Round - The "U" @ aggy
- Texas Roster 2026
- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
I doubt this goes well, both because I'm not sure Ewers will be ready and because the Dolphins in general are terrible, but despite the cold the Bengals defense is a good draw for a first start. Hope he balls out.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
In a vaccuum sure, but I doubt this was Sark walking into PK's office out of the blue with a pink slip. If PK was lining up his exit to USC or wherever then it's Sark's perogative to move forward with a clean break and secure what he views as the top option.
