Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Hell Is Empty, and All the Devils Are Here
CJ Thoughts from the Weekend It has been roughly 80 hours since the portal opened on midnight of January 2nd. In that time, Texas has secured four signings: Three specialists and a 380-pound nose tackle from Arkansas who logged more than 460 snaps last season. Geffrard, in particular, fills a clear positional need Texas identified heading into January. The Longhorns have also hosted the No. 1 player in the portal in WR Cam Coleman, as well as Michigan OT Andrew Sprague, Florida State DB Edwin Joseph, and several others are slated to visit Monday and beyond. For about a month now, myself and others have been preaching the 'All In' mentality that Texas was set to bring to the portal. I believe now, I will be referring to Texas in the portal to being 'Aggressive' from here on. It's a bit misleading, going All-In typically indicates you are completely committed to a cause and will exhaust all avenues to achieve something. Texas should still put together a very aggressive class. But what I want to shy away from is the idea that if Texas is linked to a player, that means that player will be in burnt orange next year. It just isn't that simple. The Isaac Brown ordeal from Sunday night reminded me a bit too much of the Kenneth Grant or Mason Graham saga from last year. Or the rumors around Peter Woods from Clemson after the CFP game. Or Chris Bell, who also returned to Louisville. Or even for guys who did enter the portal. Remember the Jordan Addison deal as well? Or the connection to David Bailey and Lee Hunter a year ago. It is no secret agents and players use the Texas name and logo to garner extra dollars from the school they originally wanted to stay at. The list of names Texas is rumored to be after mirrored that of an all-conference lineup. Some have entered the portal. Some have not. If Sunday night taught us anything about the rumored targets, it is that there is both reason for optimism and hesitancy. I hate being wrong. And when I said it sounded like Brown and Texas were nearing a marriage, it's because that was what was portrayed to me. Yet, I was wrong. Louisville went full LA Clippers in 2015 to re-sign DeAndre Jordan this weekend. And it worked. What gets overlooked at times is, hey, some other schools are in positions where they need to match the desperation of Texas. However, there is no reason Texas should not be one of the most aggressive schools in the country when it comes to the portal this window. Arch Manning's final year + one of the game's most instant gamebreakers in Colin Simmons spearheads your defense. Again, I do believe Texas is going to fill the majority of its needs If going All In is the true message this year, there is no reason to penny pinch. No reason to sit on money. No reason to look for deals. You do what is required to get the deal done. That goes for Cam Coleman, the Michigan offensive linemen and for now, whatever is necessary to get a true bell cow at Texas for 2026. I guess to wrap this up, my approach to Texas in the portal moving forward is this: Texas will be aggressive. How aggressive? I don't know. History tells me they will finish 2nd or 3rd in portal fights that they would have liked to have won when looking back around week 3 or week 9 of the season.

We should not use much 12 personnel, our worst position grouping from success rates.

In a 12 or 16 team playoff the bare minimum expectations should be playoffs.

By all accounts we tampered to get him to the portal and failed. That’s on Sark and Brandon Harris.

Just another year of player x and player y are going to portal to Texas for them to not portal to Texas. Par for the course honestly.

CTJ is probably happy about the brown news but also probably made because of something else regarding the portal so far

Honestly it doesn’t seem worth it to subscribe to a Texas 995 site at the moment. Every news they break can be seen for free on Twitter or through the national guys.

Sean Miller is already losing me
Key difference is Scloss is and was considered one of the top 3-4 coaches in his sport. Miller is not and has never been.
