  1. There's not really a "way" to take advantage outside of the initial USC NIL yeah. People are throwing out, in most cases, ridiculous numbers based on false assumptions from the settlement. Texas is not, thats why it feels like we've missed on so many key recruits. Right now it's just a waiting game as Texas is playing with "real money," as in legitimate sources and avenues to their NIL while others are not. So while our recruiting summer has been relatively uneventful when considering the lead up. The goal is to instead have it also be a relatively uneventful transfer portal with guys looking to leave because their NIL deals can't be fulfilled.
  2. Hopefully required reading to participate in the thread. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/article/we-dont-know-the-rules--big-12-coaches-still-wrestling-with-new-world-order-after-player-payment-changes-013454522.html
  3. I want to personally apologize for posting that Finley graphic. I thought it was mature and classy for him to thank the schools who recruited him in a direct and concise way. I thought it was nice and welcome in the world of bidding wars. I didn’t realize he threw the Texas hat, I personally don’t care but many people here seem to. Not for me to judge for them. Im more just sorry that it deviated the thread for near 2 pages comparing the kid and his family to a legacy who was openly shitting on our coaches and development like the Brock’s did. I’d almost take the Ojo price bloviating and lamentation at this point again. I’ll be more cognascent of the shit I share here in the future I guess.
  4. Tangentially related to recruiting, but Kaydon Finley tweeted this today:

  6. Not sunshine pumping here, but the 995ers have been saying to keep an eye on Lee later on down the line for a potential flip. That or circle back to other options. Not worried, more just pissed the kid was straight lying to the staff.
  7. You saw that softball nil commitment right?
  8. Kinda funny in this cycle we have a TE the size of a OT, and an OT the size of a TE. Obviously I'll trust Flood's track record of development here/
  9. This shit is so funny. I hope someone in that recruitment for our side said. “See that highly valued DT D’antre Robinson? He took more money to go to Florida and already transferred out. Don’t be a D’antre, be a Maraad Watson.”
  10. Boulevard of Broken Bagmen has the alliteration going for it if we go that way.
  11. the only suggestion that made me laugh reading it. including my own. well done.
  12. Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: An offer they can't refuse until signing day
  13. Now can you please save your bleeding vagina for signing day. We're all well aware that you think we should be buying tractors for uncles rather than showing off Lamborghini's in DKR.
