Soooo.... Elephant in the room. If Huntmiller didn't pay up front, everyone moved up a spot, yes? I'm cool either way. Just curious.
If that’s the case, it’s a 3rd place finish for ctj, baby!

Illinois State
Temple
Kent State
Ole Miss (lost almost all starting talent)
Missouri (since when is Missouri a threat to OU)
South Carolina has an amazing player on each side of the ball. They lost the rest of their DL. They’re the most overrated team in the country.
That leaves needing wins against:
-Michigan
-Auburn
-Texas (neutral site)
-@Tenn
-@Bama
-@LSU
OU beat two of those teams this past year. Winning 8 games against that schedule is not a feat of strength.

This is some next level dork shit, here. Good grief.

I've heard the dad is great dude. He's apparently done very well for himself and was a founding contributor to FSU's NIL program. He's been helpful in keeping OT Goosby focused on developing his future at Texas, which paid off for everyone late in the season.

rumor is that the WR that's been getting a lot of hype..Javonnie or something.. might have a broken leg
I’ll see if I find anything telling on Sooners Illustrated about it.
That said, their WR room is dogshit. That’s better than their TE room, which is dogshit wrapped in catshit. But they’ve got Burks, who this time last year was being hailed as the greatest non-QB portal pick-up/steal of all time. Turns out he’s a smallish bully against weaker competition and basically quit during the season due to soft tissue injury and a lack of heart. NIL and promises brought him back. After that dude, it’s a bunch of hobos named Bob.
At TE, Mitchell allegedly brought a handgun into the locker room. He’s too young to carry legally and those are off limits in the facilities, even at OU. On top of that, he was chronically late to practice and film room, allegedly has developed a drinking problem and was banging cocktail waitresses two at a time. He needed to be straightened out, so mentor and TE coaching savant, Joe Jon Finley, promptly kicked him off the team and pushed a non-consent story. The TE room now has 6 guys in it, including some dude they brought in from Pittsburgh State who has like 3 catches in his D2/D3 career.
Even Lehman and Plank have had to admit on their show that TE is going to be mostly blocking and a pass-eligible OT. Looking at Mateer’s offensive output, that’s probably okay. To say that he calls a WR dominant passing game is putting it mildly. That brings us back to the shittiness of the OU WR corps. I wonder if teams like Texas and Alabama will be able to get their heads around stopping a passing game dependent upon the legs of some random, shifty white dude and multiple WRs playing far above their expected levels.

I’m becoming somewhat fascinated with the OL group in this class. I’ve coveted Turntine for more than a year and now he really looks like he’s fading. Nonetheless, there are multiple other guys who fit the same LT profile with bigger bodies and similar rankings. Texas looks really good for more than they can take.

Gerry seems bullish on things:
Texas Hoops: Size everywhere, more portal additions to come
For years Texas fans have clamored for a roster with true bigs and size across the board. Well, Sean Miller is already proving he is your guy in that regard.
The three portal additions so far are a 6-foot-8 wing/F that will be an NBA draft pick when he leaves Texas, a 7-foot center that will very likely be an NBA prospect after two years in Austin and a very athletic 6-foot-7 wing/F that shoots it from three at 39%. And there will be two more portal additions to the roster, with one being another big man.
The current Texas roster now features five players that stand 6-foot-8 or more, with more 6-foot-10 addition on the way.
Texas current 2025-26 roster...
Tramon Mark, CG, 6-6, Gr. (10.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists)
Jordan Pope, CG, 6-0, senior (11.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists)
Chendall Weaver, G, 6-3, senior (6.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists)
Camden Heide, F, 6-7, junior (4.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, 39.2% from three at Purdue)
Dailyn Swain, F, 6-8, junior (11.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.6 steals at Xavier)
Matas Vokietaitas, C, 7-0, sophomore (10.2 points, 5.4 rebounds at FAU)
Malik Presley, G/W, 6-5, RS-sophomore
Nic Codie, PF, 6-8.5, sophomore
John Clark, PF, 6-8.5, freshman
Jamie Vinson, PF, 6-10.5, sophomore
Xavier player in portal Texas leads for ...
Lassina Traore, C, 6-10, senior (11.9 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists in 2023-24 at LBSU)Portal targets ...
Texas will take one more combo guard, and it will be a shooter with enough size.
The 13th scholarship…
Texas will be patient here. Could be a young PG or a skilled big to develop.
Sean MIller's staff ...
Chris Ogden - General Manager
Adam Cohen - Associate Head Coach
David Miller - Assistant coach
Ulric Malagi - assistant coach
Ryan Anderson - Assistant coach/Director of player Development
Ryan Reynolds - Special Assistant to the Head Coach
Cam Miller -Director of Operations
Andy Kettler - Head of strength & conditioning

OU is really putting in some work on the development end under Venables. This dude was a 5 star who reclassified and was still a highly rated 4 star. He got to campus and immediately exploded north of 275 lbs and disappeared into the garbage pile at TE.
I’m interested in seeing what happens with Fasusi.
Stone’s allegedly “flashing” this spring.
They’re defaulting to having to play the Edge guy who was heralded and been an absolute bust so far.
Peyton Bowen isn’t lighting the place on fire. The Tatum guy has been hurt or middling so far at TB. Arnold flamed out hilariously. Kanak is now a TE.
I know I’m missing a few but the results look like Texas results in talent development from 2010-2021.

50 minutes ago, BlackCat said:Campbell is a good dude and he could fund Tech NIL at a&m jimbo retard levels every year and not even blink, there's some other guys helping too. I did think it was funny how he thought just because CDC would take his phone calls and be cordial on the phone meant we were actually going to play Tech every year when we left.
He’s not a “good dude” for Texas. Outside of him showing up with embarrassing offers to land transfers in various sports, the guy has been behind legislature meddling on two fronts.
One, he’s actually tried to build a coalition that would force Texas to play in-state schools in non-cons across all sports, with a rotation format. Fuck him in every orifice for that alone.
Two, he’s been involved with trying to get Tech a share of the PUF or whatever it is called regarding the land UT owns and already shares, via legislature bullying years ago, with ATM.
So fuck that guy and his shitty university.

If it is true that this guy was making $80k and now he’s jumping to $2M+ overnight, he could truly lose his mind running through coeds and blow before next season even starts.

Hahahahhahaa. The spin on this guy this spring was great. Dude exploded north of 275 lbs. Venables claimed they wanted him to bulk up and then the talking heads started bleating that he “looked athletic” at that weight. Now Fawcett tweets that he’s at 245 lbs. Right. Maybe in photos from high school.
If you are a top 75 recruit, sign with Venables at OU if you want to see your career collapse in real time. Good lord.

If it doesn't count then what's the point? And knowing the newer generation of OSU fans they'd be calling for firings for losing a spring scrimmage to ou. If it's drills subject to the same conditions as intrasquad practices intended to limit injuries, fine. Putting a rivalry into it makes zero sense. Why risk injury?
You make my point for me. You seem very drab.

His idea of a Bedlam spring scrimmage sounds like a terrible idea. Fans would read way too much into it and the players, mostly backups, would probably get too chippy. Maybe if they agreed to make it a true scrimmage, like running sets or situations and not full blown drives, no scorekeeping, and basically a practice session for reps. Maybe that's what he was proposing, but the headlines and blurbs made it sound like a spring game.
You come across as a blast at parties.
Bedlam in the spring would be awesome.

"Pay" as in drop a bag (or an envelope), or some sort of actual binding contract? Because if someone gives me a bag of money to commit 8 months before I'm allowed to sign an LOI, I'd probably do that and then figure out where I really want to go.
Would you do it if it retards the process and potentially leaves you without a spot at one of the more attractive schools? We're not talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars for a commitment. It's usually 4 digits, low 5's.

I have spoilered Kurelic’s latest from Bucknuts. In reading that board and having a vague understanding of who’s who there, the impression I get is that he was a recruit OSU was keeping warm, but his offer wasn’t committable. One regular had him in a group a while back that was “not NIL relevant” or “ready”, can’t remember which. His older brother was offered and recruited by OSU and went to Clemson, which still pisses them off. Not sure who that was.
They seem to think that ATM pulled the momentum play and paid him to commit. I can’t tell if that is bullshit or not, but LSU, USC and ATM are all allegedly doing that in this cycle. Other programs view that as desperate.

With Katoa heading elsewhere after the Robertson commitment, I’m assuming they’re locked in with the other IOL they covet and couldn’t make promises to Katoa that others could. They’re picking who they want at OL in this cycle.

I still have some questions for the positions of need, with what is out there, I assume there is no must take WR/TE/DL left in the portal? assuming no more coaching changes, what is the next group up? in case of a "break glass" situation? sort of like Velton Gardner at RB last year
I wrote about the transfer/NIL outlook in the Archmania thread on the football board a few days ago. I’m too lazy to go find it, but it’s there if you want more info.

Is Helobious becoming self-aware?
It’s like SkyNet setting off a nuclear war, but the mouthbreathing rube version where he just starts launching one dumb fucking post after another, setting off barrages from other counterparts with the same room temperature IQ.
We’re here to be victimized by it all, just taking blow after blow until we each throw our hands up and go do chores. We need to send one of the least messed up, most intelligent representatives of this forum back to 2018 and somehow prevent all of them from registering.
