    That's why Sark reiterates every off-season that he is building a team and not just assembling talent. You need a cohesive unit of guys bought in to WE before ME to make it through a full season and the CFP.

    This may sound strange, but maybe we allow Williams go to Auburn to get squandered in year 1 with Freeze to make it easier for KJ Lacey to sell them on joining him with the Horns next January after Bond & Bolden et all declare for the NFL draft 🤷🏼‍♂️

    You don't use your normal insurance for an exotic rental, you purchase a policy that coincides with the rental contract. For like an event or weekend rental, it will cost you under $200 usually for the peace of mind that your ass is covered to a certain deductible if you f up while operating the beast. https://www.xinsurance.com/risk-class/rental-insurance-for-exotic-cars/

    I find this post very encouraging.

    Isn't he a grad transfer? UW shows him as a graduate.

    ??? Did you mean Silas Bolden lining up in the backfield as a RB along with Blue? In 21 you only have 2 WR along with 2 backs and a TE, so you could only pair up with Bond & Golden and not one of the remaining slash guys unless you really meant 20 personnel w/ no TE and 3 WRs plus 2 backs 🤔 For better pass pro and better numbers vs the run, I think the 21 is more versatile than 20 and you can still target Helm or maybe a Niblack/Yurosek type if we land 1 of them in the portal on a delayed release.

    That wouldn't lead to a 🤯 reaction though. Need a much bigger fish

    There is NO cap on numbers in the "off-season"!!! The 85 limit begins with the start of the new football season, so expect attrition to address whatever "surplus" may exist from the Spring heading into the summer when we expect 5ish additional freshman to join the team from the '24 class. Spring ball will go a long ways towards defining where the team is at roster wise, the pecking order in the position rooms, where any remaining deficiencies lay, etc. Post spring there will be another round of 1:1s between Sark and each player and then we'll inevitably see some more portal activity in/out with the end goal of getting the roster and respective players in the best position for success going forward.

    How is that possible? I started Fall '92 and got a university email address on my first visit to the UGL/Peter T Flawn Academic center with their Mac/PC lab since I didn't have a computer of my own in my dorm. Was able to score bob@mail.utexas.edu and was able to keep using it for several years post graduation via a pop server until a faculty member wanted to claim the address and they must have discovered I was no longer enrolled 🤣

    Maybe the odds of landing Ryan Williams just went up with Saban retiring. He lacks NCAA experience, but the upside is ridiculous. I think that's a trade Sark makes.

    Per Gerry's repeated insistences, but during Sark's signing day presser he mentioned Kelvin Banks as a comp and LT as a possible future. Either way, we could lose both Banks & Williams to the draft after the '24 season, so getting a guy that can lock down one of those spots this cycle is a win.

    Wingo & Livingstone are, but not Dubose (should probably RS and work on fully recovering from his ACL anyway)

    So none of them found quite the demand from the big boys they were expecting. Hopefully this is a learning experience for other prospective portal hoppers. (Assuming they don't need to jump in the motherfucker for reasons of they'll never play a down at Texas) I doubt these boys really wanted to leave, but the "honest conversation" Sark has with guys at the end of the regular season informed them where they stand in the pecking order. They may have had no option to stay at UT and still pursue a FB career after being passed up by true freshman & a former walk-on plus being recruited over with an über talented class of '24 group coming in.

    Still likely to be able to pick up both as UDFA. Maybe a 7th round selection if the pro day numbers impress.

    Golden Brown Blue Red Black Just need to find Gray, White and Green to have the most colorful team of all time 🤘🏽

    Stewardess, I read asterisk 👋🙋🏼‍♂️ It says: Freak'n Hook'Em
  19. Shonen
    Aren't they losing like 20 guys to the draft & heck even their HC to the Chicago Bears?
  20. Shonen
    They could always deploy the Charlie Weiss at KU recruiting pitch 🤷🏼‍♂️ https://secure-www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/weis-pitch-to-recruits-have-you-seen-that-pile-of-crap-out-there/

    Too bad OU didn't line up with just 10 defenders on back to back plays for us 🤘🏽
  22. Shonen
    TBF most RBs don't even make it to a second contract, but the league minimum is also more than most will get in NIL sticking around for another season. We'll see whether he likes the draft feedback he gets in December. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Brooks won't test off the charts at a pro day and is too young for a Senior Bowl invite, so unless he goes for like 1800 yds and wins the Doak, I just don't see him leaving for the NFL as a RS-So.

    If Neto was planning on transferring, his brothers likely wouldn't have picked Texas. Neto is in the McCombs school and getting developed at OG. I don't think he is leaving without a degree and is a play away from starting at LG as we saw with Hutson going down earlier this year with a knee injury. Flood knows you don't have to be a 4yr starter to get drafted - you need one really good year and preaches accordingly. If you're in the two deep, keep grinding. If you're only in the three deep and have been passed up by a younger guy, then we may have something to talk about, but in that situation the writing on the wall should be that you're likely going pro in something other than football and do you really want to give up the pancake perks in the meantime voluntarily?

    With the % of total targets we have set to matriculate to the NFL, the opportunity to come in and shine right away at Texas should be an easy sell for the Longhorns. If not Wingo, then a productive deep threat from the portal.
