I don't think the Cook departure impacts anything. Attrition has been baked into the plan at WR for this next cycle. Also, maybe don't drop perfect passes when you're wide fucking open and then you'll likely get more PT.
A complete implosion in the final stretch of games for OU will lead to Bedenbaugh being shown the door and could be enough to persuade Fasusi to reconsider. Someone should also let him know, maybe, that there is a lot of pussy in Austin as well. I mean, don't ask Carl to do it, but you get what I'm saying.
Georgia is going to try to oversign at DL because they can't handle the thought of standouts from their state going to their enemies. At the same time, there are guys who are damned good who can also look at a depth chart and others in their signing class and say "man, I like that school as much as Georgia, and I can get playing time and still go to the NFL as well".
Anytime ATM gets hot, so does their access to NIL. Interest undulates with losses, though. They seem more volatile on that end than places who have focused on a foundation. The Elk clearly also sees the world as Jimbo did - you must sign all of the DTs and Edges, even if it is at the expense of everything else.
Folks seem intent on believing that there are going to be a few late breaking surprises in Texas' favor for this 2025 class, mostly because it's happened in every class prior to this one. Maybe that's the case via Fasusi or something. I don't have the same POV as others for this cycle, however.
