Again, I'm going off of what I think the coaching staff will do. At his size, I doubt they're going to spend a spot on a one-year rental that is potentially limited athletically/size wise and isn't guaranteed to beat out Overshown or Ford. For the same reason, I don' think Texas would be an attractive landing spot to Diamonte. He wants to trade up and start.
We are 1 injury away from being completely butt fucked at that position.

As a grad transfer I think he's worth looking at.

The recruitment of Jordan Addison, the Biletnikoff Winner and Pitt transfer, continues.
As previously reported, Inside Texas has learned that Addison has narrowed his decision to Texas and USC.
Some close to Addison, as recently as yesterday, were pushing a possible return to Pitt as a third option, but Addison is said to have moved on from that possibility.
**
I’m not going to sit here and say definitively which school Addison will choose. I don’t know the answer to that.
However, I can say without question that there is growing confidence in Austin and around the Texas program.
**
Some may try to compare this recruitment to that of Ochaun Mathis, the former TCU defensive end who selected Nebraska after most believed for a long time he would naturally pick the Longhorns.
But, in this instance, Texas feels more like Nebraska, the dark horse nobody took seriously until the very end.
Nobody gave the Horns a real shot at Addison and just assumed Addison would be going to USC once he entered his name in the portal given the behind the scenes discussions with Caleb Williams and Williams’ father prior to that.
But Texas is very much in this. Sarkisian’s success getting the ball to multiple talented receivers is resonating with Addison, as is Addison’s prior relationship with receivers coach Brennan Marion, and his feeling from being around the team.
**
Earlier this week, I was told to look for a timeline of Thursday for a decision. But this could easily carry into the weekend and early next week.
Addison and those are around him are being thorough. And he understandably feels no immediate pressure from a timeline perspective but does want to get to work with his future team as soon as possible. Both Texas and USC return to work in the next two weeks or so.

Eric Nahlin:
These are touchy and difficult recruitments to cover that are susceptible to swings. We’re very confident things have gotten quite interesting in recent days. If your read is, he’ll simply go to the school that motivated him into the portal, your read is broken. While that is often the case in these recruitments, largely due to pre-existing relationships, that’s a bad assumption here.
The midweek visit last week should have been a good reminder who the strongest relationship was between, and that’s Addison and Brennan Marion. “He just visited to do his old coach a solid,” wasn’t the case. That visit threw a major kink in USC’s plans and Addison left UT with the impression he was not going to make a rushed decision. Any first-mover advantage USC had appears to be gone as of earlier this week.
As far as not making a quick decision, Addison held true to his word and since the USC visit, dialogue between Addison picked up right where it left off from his visit. This isn’t him stringing things out for appearances sake. If that was the case, he’d just wait to announce for USC rather than still being fully engaged in the recruiting process with Texas. Given his relationship with Marion, do you think he’d string him along?
We’re not going to make a prediction, at least not yet, because of the unknown associated with these recruitments. What we do know with certainty is Texas remains motivated and the midweek confidence from last week, that was premature in some circles, seems to be rising with the people who do matter as we get closer to resolution.
One final word, don’t waste your time trying to piece together nonsense on social media. To their credit, and to the environment Steve Sarkisian has fostered, the players are staying on Addison, but social media isn’t a reliable indicator of where things truly stand.-

Not sure where this Connor love has come from. Only one player was responsible for a sack in the Spring game between Connors and Jones and it wasnt Jones. Jones did give up a pressure on an inside rush. That play ended with Card in the end zone on a 20 yard scramble, probably because it was a ridiculously undisciplined pass rush. Connor got a lot of help in the spring game with RBs and chips. Banks is the key. I did not see anyone on the field during the spring game that looked like a solid option at LT.
Probably from watching Christian Jones be complete dog shit last year.

So, Addison's visit to USC helped Texas more than USC. What the fuck happened, was Albert Hollis on the visit?
Knowing how most LA teams pitch playing in LA to athletes I’m going to assume it had very little to do with football and all about the “Hollywood lifestyle.”

On Jordan Addison
The visit high seemingly wore off quickly from the Biletnikoff winner’s midweek official visit last week. Our reporting followed suit, at first running hot and then colder as our expectations were tempered.
But portal recruiting is susceptible to wild swings and we’re right back to watching this one with extreme interest, even after his official visit to USC.
There’s a good chance he’ll visit Alabama in the coming days but Texas is squarely in this recruitment. We aren’t aware of a set timeline for him to decide but we’re buckling up for a potentially interesting week.-

IT Scoop:
Annual recruiting headwind rears its head
It’s that time of year again where the Texas football staff must overcome NFL draft futility. Predictably, and somewhat justifiably, rival schools are using UT’s struggles to put players in the NFL against the coaches. It’s justifiable in that Texas has struggled to put players in the draft, but that leaves out some important context — namely last year’s team only featured a few of this staff’s hand-picked players, and one of them, Xavier Worthy, will eventually be a first round draft pick.
Time and distance from the draft should dull those negative recruiting efforts somewhat but it will remain a headwind until the program produces more draft picks.
Class momentum will ultimately rely on the confluence of landing Arch Manning amidst a successful June official visit bloc, but as things stand right now, the staff is fielding calls from people wondering where the draft picks are. The short answer is, they’re on the way.
Tre Wisner, RB, Desoto (Texas)
When the On3 four-star committed to Texas after the spring game, it sent shockwaves throughout the state. The long-time Oklahoma lean really clicked with Tashard Choice and decided to jump in the 2023 recruiting boat. But Wisner still wants to take a few official visits. The 5-foot-11, 180 pounder holds offers from LSU, Florida, Texas A&M, and Auburn and he wants to see Oregon and Florida State in an official capacity. After tallying 2,231 total yards and 30 touchdowns in two seasons at Waco Connally, he recently transferred to Desoto, joining fellow UT target Johntay Cook. Inside Texas will be at the Desoto spring game this week.
Tausili Akana, LB, Lehi (Utah) Skyridge
When his big sister, Keonilei Akana, committed to Texas volleyball over the weekend, it was a strong data point in the Longhorns' pursuit of the On3 four-star linebacker. Texas has worked on the 6-foot-3, 215-pounder for over a year, including hosting the Kahuku (HI) native last summer. He's yet to schedule any officials, but he told Inside Texas he's looking hard at the Horns. He holds 30+ offers including Georgia, Nebraska, Michigan, and Texas, and is coming off USC and UCLA visits. He's also set to see Tennessee on Memorial Day weekend. Oklahoma and Oregon should also get visits, and he prefers to have a commitment decision before his senior season, meaning Texas will want him to schedule and official visit soon. The key here is getting Akana back on campus, and with sister moving in around early June, that could certainly line up in the early summer.
Peyton Woodyard, S, Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco
After playing baseball, Woodyard (good last name for that sport) is back on the football field for spring ball and camp season. The On3 Consensus No. 19 overall prospect for 2024 recently took trips to Oregon and Michigan State and is looking at visits to Alabama, Geogia, and Texas this summer. At 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, Woodyard holds offers from Notre Dame, USC, Ohio State, and Oklahoma among others, and has committed to play in the All-American Bowl in San Antonio. Notre Dame is definitely one of his top schools and the program to watch in these sweepstakes. He’s probably the top safety on the 2024 Texas big board.
Cedric Baxter, RB, Orlando (Fla.) Edgewater
When Tashard Choice was hired at Texas, many wondered if the Longhorns would have a realistic shot at the nations No. 1 ranked running back. Fast forward to May, and Texas is in the final five and Choice has the Longhorns in a solid position. Inside Texas still leans to Florida or Miami winning out at the end of the day, but the Texas side has some quiet confidence. Texas A&M and Arkansas round out the five in serious contention. Baxter had not scheduled any official visits as of late last week, but he is expected back on campus this summer. Edgewater High plays their spring game Friday. It will not be a surprise if Choice is in attendance to close out the spring eval period.

Plonsky, she fucking sucked as a womens AD and instead of getting fired gets put in charge of compliance. Fuck that cunt.

There is a new place behind Helotes Country Club called Helotes Beer Garden....it's ran by the smoke show of a granddaughter who owns the Country Club. Cheap beers and on weekends you can hear the shows at Floores perfectly.

Just going to ask here because this thread gets more traffic but do y’all have any recommendations for a landscaping/lawn service company as well as handyman? Buying a property and need some work done. It’s on west side 1604/Potranco outside the loop.

OL eval and development is hard. Alabama's post-spring training depth chart shows both Brockermeyers running third string. Either they aren't as good as expected or 'Bama's so damn loaded they can't crack the two-deep. Not a knock on those guys, per se; I wanted them here so bad I could taste it, and I'd take them in the portal faster'n a cat can lick its ass. I guess we should keep in mind that OL procurement/composition is far from an exact science.
They suck

OT is completely different because of the talent we've brought in through 2022 class. LB is a whole other animal that doesn't have the same kind of talent coming in via 2022 class.
