    Nick Harris just put in a flip pick for Owens to ATM. Not real surprising. The bags are back
  2. Tex-19
    I don't think that was real. And Barstool wouldn't get anything out of funding CU Football
  3. Tex-19
    Yeah all the CBs are Florida but that didn't stop them from swiping Hicks so you never know. Other possibilities: Ruben Owens, Collin Simmons (unlikely but posted hourglasses yesterday), or some other recruit

    Seems strange for a Freshman db to have the scoop on an OC hire before any other rumors which makes me think more likely recruiting related. Not sure who else they're even chasing rn though besides Hill. If Riley goes there, can only assume it's an insane amount of money, like $3mm/year

    How tf did he go from 13 to 3.5 sacks?

    Imo time to retire "fuck the Brocks." 2 of them were good Horns, looks like the last two weren't a miss after all. Time for Surly to move on

    Interesting, his high school recruiting profile on 247 shows a bunch of CBs to Texas

    I'd say Tunmise is the most interesting so far. Starter as a true So. before injury in a talented room. Not a ton of exciting names yet though. I bet most of the big ones wait until next week when it's actually open. I'd think the guys that are getting a bunch of inbound interest have no reason to announce early since they're already negotiating.

    I'm not saying that. But there's a difference between a fun yet effective practice and just running a bunch of wind sprints while getting yelled at. This is a good time to lighten up a bit and lean heavily towards the former.
  10. Tex-19
    Sark's #1 focus in bowl practice should be team bonding and getting these guys to have some fun out there. This portal shit is crazy.
  11. Tex-19
    This got me thinking who our most pursued guys would be. I'd imagine, in rough order: Worthy, Banks, Ford, Barron, Murphy, Sweat. Banks would be the biggest loss by far. Staff needs to get him paid whatever it takes. Hopefully I'm just worrying too much but this one concerns me given how his HS recruitment played out (Oregon bitcoin).

    Lane Kiffin would join that alliance in a heartbeat

    Such a terrible structure. The NCAA has to do something or the schools need to split.
  14. Tex-19
    Saw X and Barron at the bball game last night. At one point during half they were chatting with Sark and wife who were sitting courtside. That'll be 9.95.
  15. Tex-19
    Yeah I'm not doing any math but if you took those guys out, their "superclass" would almost certainly not even be #1 in 2022 (Bama). I still won't be surprised if Jimbo keeps those '22 troublemakers though. Losing you #2 and 3 recruits from 2021 ain't great either. Pretty sure LJ was the backup RB and got some carries until he quit the team. Probably was in line to start next year.
  16. Tex-19
    I thought the portal technically opens Dec 5? How are guys already getting offers?
  17. Tex-19
    Has Jimbo ever kicked someone off a team at either school? Other than Demas after his two domestic assaults went public which meant no option there. I mean shit, Mckinley Jackson missed like 2 games and his felony Ketamine charges were loaded with blatant evidence. Maybe they decide to leave on their own, but I will be surprised if any of those guys get kicked off.
  18. Tex-19
    Not surprising but losing him would be a dick punch. Hopefully the money is there to retain him
  19. Tex-19
    NFL minimum salary is $700k IF you make the team. 7th rounders get like $100k signing bonus I think. UDFA signing bonus much less, as low as nothing. So a lot of risk/reward if you're on the bubble for making a roster.
  20. Tex-19
    Harris posted something seemingly recruiting Dameon George to ATM, so shockingly (or is it shocking?) Jimbo might be keeping those guys around. Which would be hilariously on brand. Or maybe he just hasn't told them yet.
  21. Tex-19
    So is Jimbo gonna let Denver Harris and the other troublemakers stay? I mean I guess his NIL opps elsewhere are probably limited by the off field stuff. On the other hand, how many strikes do you get..
  22. Tex-19
    To me, this is the most underrated and absurd part of the NIL landscape. Literally one crazy booster can outweigh every "market-based" factor like program revenue, overall alumni wealth, corporate density, etc. And it's not like the boosters get any financial ROI either. It's like European soccer except with zero connection to revenue and without any ownership. Phil Knight is an unsurprising first example, but at some point I'm sure another billionaire will do the same. And it could come completely out of the blue from a school like Cal or Duke. Or Elon Musk just fucking with people by building UT-RGV into a powerhouse lol
  23. Tex-19
    Yeah that makes sense. I guess I'm mainly just curious if guys are in general happy to be at UT (are they having fun, do they like their teammates, coaches, school, etc.). Obviously every team will have a few unhappy guys for football reasons or otherwise, that's life. But I feel like making sure the kids have some fun and build bonds will be even more important in the portal era.
  24. Tex-19
    How does the locker room seem in general from your conversations? Publicly seems pretty strong other than this and maybe Worthy, but never know behind the scenes

    "cap" means lie. He's refuting FCB. Obligatory "how does FCB still have his job"
