Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
MM's cousin got an Oregon bag and MM has been openly talking about getting paid for a while now. He's gotta be one of the concerns. Hopefully it's not too late to get back in on Thaddeus Dixon (UW CB). Has Tacario signed? Simmons was my other biggest worry but hopefully IT is right about him being locked in.

and Muhammad. Simmons and Hill probably worry me the most. Obv Arch but I doubt he leaves.

He was the odds-on favorite at Betonline earlier today. Now he's been slightly passed by...wait for it..Jason Witten LOL Kellen seems like a sensible choice though actually

What are the chances of Jerry convincing Belichick to ditch UNC?

Also they tried to get tricky doing a rush up to the line and immediate snap. QB sneak/push is a skill and Arch needs to develop it but I agree it needs to be used more. It should be an automatic 1-2 yards with him. Idk how you practice that though if the QB can't get touched. The between the legs direct snap is a great way to keep defenses a little honest for it too.

Kliff is a TX guy who probably grew up a Cowboys fan. It'd be real hard for him to turn down head coach of the Dallas Cowboys with an established franchise QB and WR.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
I'm not saying to design a bunch of run plays for him. I'm talking old school QB sneaks with 1 yard to go. Even his slow ass uncles did those.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
It's a balance for sure. If you take too many, the young guys won't get enough reps to develop, so then you can get into a cycle of portal reliance at a position. Sorta like DT right now (although that was probably more of a HS recruiting issue). On the other hand, again, you don't want to be dependent on a true freshman immediately stepping in, or even someone like Butler/Livingstone who hasn't faced live fire in college and who must not be good enough yet to get snaps (you never know how fast they'll develop). So yeah, 1 or 2 would be the smart move imo and that still give you plenty of reps for the youngsters. If a youngster breaks through, then awesome, there's a good chance you'll need them anyway with injuries.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
A freshman WR can be good but that is an exception for rare talents like Smith, Ryan Williams, etc. Imo you should almost never be counting on a true freshman to be a difference maker at any position. It's just a big gamble. As a coach, would you really want to roll the dice on the Arch era by counting on a WR who's never played a college snap? Especially when the other two sure-fire starters are young and somewhat unproven themselves. And then you have to consider the possibility of injuries. If Wingo or Moore go down, that room is extremely green. I'm not saying we need 3 transfers (I thought that was overkill last year) but I do think 1 proven starter would be prudent assuming Bond and Golden leave, which appears to be the case.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Random question but how do QBs work on QB sneaks if they can't get touched in practice? Tush push with Arch should be an absolute slam dunk in short yardage next year but QB sneaks are a skill that he probably needs to develop. The between the legs direct snap is a great counter to keep defenses honest too. Also, agree with others that he seems to need some work on not fumbling.

Texas 2025 Roster
Damn I though Moore was likely to come back. He really hit his stride second half of the season, really hope he returns.
-
Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
Now that the season is over, does anyone have the full story on Bond? Was his disappearance really all injury-related or did he get in the dog house? He suited up for almost every game but became essentially non-existent and started getting outsnapped by Wingo who didn't do that much either. It was also surprising to see Vasek suddenly getting real snaps last night. Has he played all year? Interesting time to throw him in there. Didn't watch him closely but seemed like he played well. Might be able to pencil him into the 2-deep next year. Also, I withdraw my previous surprise about looking for a portal OG. Please get that USC guy.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
If Moore comes back, DE seems pretty loaded with him, Simmons, Burke and a rotational body from the youngster ranks (Lance Jackson or Vasek most likely). If Moore leaves, then yeah probably need someone. WR and S definitely depend on NFL decisions, but if those guys all declare (which seems likely for the WRs at least), there is very little returning production in those rooms. You'd only have 2 WRs (Wingo and Moore) and 2 S (Jelani and a recovering Williams) with any meaningful playing time. Going into a season with that little experienced depth would be very dicey. Part of my surprise is also just bc Sark has been so aggressive with WR portal until now. I mean he took 3 last year despite plenty of young talent in Wingo, Moore, and Johntay.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
Surprising portal approach from the staff so far this year. I did not expect DE, iOL to have as many visitors as WR and more than S as we near the end of this portal window. Quite interesting. I would've though G was pretty set with Hutson, Campbell, and Neto. Then again, clearly run game needs improvement. Sounds like Oregon and Tenn are the main competition for Pregnon.

I mostly definitely didn't have EDGE as a portal need but this is the 2nd guy linked to UT. Interesting..

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
Apologies for the transfer talk but do we think we'll take a portal WR during this window? Seems like a position you'd typically want here for spring camp. Sark has historically been very aggressive at portal WR so I'm surprised they haven't shown much interest in anyone other than Singleton. Window is closing quickly though.
