Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting

[UTEE97 3522]

Don't like the fact that the staff is not going after Austin Stogner. He would be a huge upgrade to what we have in the roster. Of course, we don't do what makes the most logical sense.

It's likely to be monthly payouts as a practical means of managing the process, carrying float for further gains, and keeping players from doing idiotic shit.

Remember when you guys are thinking about this stuff that all of this work is being done to set floors (now and evermore) so that recruits and coaches can know what the future, should they come to Texas, looks like. None of this can be used as an enticement, yada yada, but in the future, matter of fact history is not ignorable and will be front and center for recruits and transfers to understand. That's a big point of all of this. 

That considered, remember that this doesn't include any corporate NIL work for players that is very real and will only get bigger for the bigger names, which is why corporate density in Austin and Texas is a bigger deal, and a competitive advantage, than people understand right now. The 3rd string DE will still pretty much just get his expected floor, but the starting QB or point guard probably get far above the floor if they're worth a shit and have a symmetrical face. It also doesn't include crowdfunding efforts from the fanbase, memorabilia set-ups and signings, etc. 

Plonsky and crew are on the cusp of being able to pay female athletes more than any other college program in the country, and more than most semi-pro female sports leagues as well. She's not that stupid. Bickering over "equity" will come a lot later. 

agreed.  I'm just looking at it from an initial level(floor) as I am sure you have access to bigger picture.    and hopefully you are right on Plonsky.  hartzell will have to control the academics.

I also believe this was part of the reason for the move by Riley.  LA is gonna be nuts.  I wonder if Kelly heard that Notre Dame is going to push back/limit on playing the game and that's part of the reason he bolted(yes I realize mainly it is for money, he's 60 and he's got about 6-7 years).  Notre Dame just has a traditional feel to their responsibility in the academic world.  this would feel dirty to them(and of course, I understand the irony there).

[Dbeasy 15068]

2023 comment but still relevant to 2022. This NIL announcement, plus the one coming, plus the Malachi Nelson commitment to USC, really helps keep Arch Manning from looking West to USC, and while the Manning dream to Texas is shaky right now, it’s not dead yet afaik.

*You may have seen a “reach” or two offered lately. While those offers did catch us by surprise, we may see a couple of more O-linemen go to the portal than we initially thought, and Savion Red offers versatility and toughness to a roster in need of it.

*IT feels pretty good about UT’s chances with Kobie McKinzie. He’s a straight line missile at linebacker but the game isn’t played in straight lines. He’s more of an OLB. He’d be a really good replacement for Eoghan Kerry, but also for a portal candidate.

Both of these are nonsensical statements. How does Savion Red help with OLine portals?

Also, Kobie is a missile! But we don't use missiles, but we will use him on the outside.

I think it comes down to priority.  We don't have enough spots available (33) to take everyone we'd like - and I think TE is probably pretty low on Sark's priority list (especially given we just recruited 3 of them last year).

So, if they get to the 150,000,000 they want on the fundraise ask as @closetojumping said is the goal- the endowment will throw off something like $12,000,000 a year.  So- back of envelope math there are about 700 scholarshop athletes at UT.  If you paid them out all equally this would be something like $17,000 per person.  I think it would be the height of folly to pay them all equally. 

 

FWIW, there are approximately 520ish student athletes at UT.

All of this is true and I've never understood how so many people have had a hard time from the beginning understanding how big this is- but I guess when a paradigm shifts some people just can't see it until the paradigm whips out it's dick and slaps them repeatedly across the face with it- and even then some of that subset will still need to be told what happened there.  The fact that there are people in our AD, and high up, that are in this subset of mouth breathers and morons b/c they are more worried about protecting their personal fiefdom than seeing all boats rise together and making their job and organization that much better is distressing, but if one were to worry about all the things morons in a position of power did I guess one wouldn't ever be able to sleep because of all the stupid in the world.

I hear what you are saying about Plonsky.  And that's logical and reasonable, but never underestimate pettiness and stupidity. I put the over under on bitching about this endeavor at 2.8 days from the first random tweet or text and I put serious bickering over "equity" at 3 years. Feel free to take either side of that bet- we already have the Tom Herman Rulz bet outstanding.

Thanks for your part in whatever is coming down the line. As I said when I met if you need me to scrape $50k to drop a bag on a mid 4 star offensive lineman I could probably handle that but what you envisioned (and I never didn't believe the scale- just knew I wasn't a part of that) was way beyond me. I think, if the TE camp comes to fruition I will be in about $10k on the efforts we are doing here on Surly and I'm pretty comfortable with that- just waiting on the TE fantasy camp getting finalized as we've already made a $7000 pledge to that.  But yeah- that's pennies on the dollar compared to what you were doing.  Good job man. 

Thanks. I am considering changing my handle to "Cobb" and putting the Dicaprio inception jpg in as the avatar.

Yeah, watch as more of what is unfolding comes to fruition and then think back on all of the folks as recently as yesterday dismissing the concept of the bag game eventually becoming a corner case game. LSU's bag slush is $250k per year and Bama's is double that.

These programs are not going to amp their dark market efforts by 10x, 20x, or 50x and coaches across the board are going to have excuses for playing the recruiting and transfer game above board. Uncles won't, but everybody else will. There's still a black market for bootlegging in this country and liquor is legal. There will always be a dark market in recruiting, but the size and scope of the alternative are going to completely fucking dwarf it.

really gonna be cool if we can keep really good baseball recruits from going to the draft now.  I also wonder if the 3 year rule for baseball goes away.

some kid can bank maybe 100K total over 4 years and that can turn into 600K easily by the time you are 60.

 

600k if he has the worst financial advisor in the history of the planet an/or just kept it in his savings account at Wells Fargo.

This is exactly right, and the perfect way to go about it. Use our insanely deep pockets transparently and above board. No need to drop smaller handfuls of cash in a dark alley when we can legally transfer WAY more money electronically. "Game changer" is exactly right.

More IT

Spoiler

QB Devin Brown, Corner Canyon (Draper, UT) - 2022: While UT went to see Brown on Sunday, Ohio State did the same. The Buckeyes are pushing hard for the On3 No. 27 overall prospect after hosting him on an official two weeks ago. Steve Sarkisian is set to see Brown next week, which is good, because Ohio State is growing confidence in this pursuit. With Jack Miller and another possible signal-caller headed to the portal, Ryan Day and Corey Dennis have zeroed in on the On3 No. 2 QB in this 2022 class.

Brown and his family really like Sarkisian, so that in-home will be crucial in keeping up in this recruitment.

OL Devon Campbell, Bowie (Arlington, TX) - 2022: The 6-foot-3, 315-pounder is just as big on the basketball court. In front of UT coaches Kyle Flood and Jeff Banks, the On3 No. 22 overall prospect put on a clinic in the post. As for his recruitment. Texas remains in a strong position for the nation's top guard. Alabama, USC, and LSU are still in this race though, with Oklahoma on the outside. I wouldn't be surprised to see all three of those schools swinging by the Campbells house soon. Sarkisian stops by the crib next week.

OL Malik Agbo, Todd Beamer (Federal Way, WA) - 2022: After Texas went to see the On3 consensus four-star on Tuesday, the Horns remain the strong contender for the 6-foot-5.5, 320-pound offensive lineman. With Oklahoma going through a dust storm, UT and Auburn have separated from the pack. As of today, I like where UT stands in these sweepstakes. He can play guard or tackle at the next level and fills a need on the roster. Agbo is announcing on December 15th.

LB Kobie McKinzie, Cooper (Lubbock, TX, - 2022: One of OU's de-commits might have Austin in his sights. The On3 consensus four-star linebacker picked up a UT offer yesterday and was absolutely thrilled. To the point, it's safe to say Texas is leading this hunt. The UT staff is set to see McKinzie on Friday for his playoff game, and he's coming to Austin this weekend. One school to watch is Texas Tech, with Joey Mcguire who had a previous relationship with the 6-foot-2, 245-pound inside-backer. An announcement this weekend wouldn't surprise IT at all.

DB Xavion Brice, Seguin (Arlington, TX) (OU) - 2022: Catching up with the 6-foot-1, 180-pound On3 four-star defensive back, he's excited to see Austin soon.

"All I know is I had a lot of fun," said Brice, about his Austin trip last summer. Now he'll return with a different mindset.

Brice loves the corner position, a spot that UT absolutely covets with him.

"I love playing corner," said Brice. "It's an island with you and that wide receiver so I can just lock that man up."

Texas Tech will get a visit as well, but the Horns have Brice's teammate, 2023's Jamel Johnson, committed, and he's certainly helping the Horns cause.

Watching the light bulb come on for some of your folks after spending months literally outlining how this should/could be done, down to demographics of population density, corporate presence, living alumni, endowments, all of it...is fucking hilarious. So many of you dismissing this concept while some of us outlined it time and time again now finding Jesus. Well, at least you understand now. You layer it all up. You get basic income, plus the ability to earn more, way more, if you're a productive player. Bijan's boxing deal doesn't go away with this. It's just more. And more and more and more.

It's going to vary. It could be walk-ons depending on sport if you want it. It's PRIVATE MONEY. 

The money can be sliced any way you want it to be, there's no legal requirements. But it won't be a 1 time payment, and it will be yearly, as is the design. As has always been the design.

Ah, here we go. 

His 300k might not be taxed. And yes, his NIL money will be taxed. But even assuming 4 years (maybe 5 now) and a 25% tax rate, he's at net even. Plus all the other NIL deals he can make at Texas. Say, another one that sponsors WR. Say, all that Tik Tok money. Say he's a stud and gets a car dealership deal. Do you know how many car dealerships there are in Austin versus College Station? I fucking do. He could walk out of Texas at worst with the same as aTm AFTER he pays taxes, and he could also walk out of Texas worth 2 million. He can't do that in College Station.

I'm no bagman fan - but honest question.  $100K/yr via NIL is going to be taxed, right?  Stewart's $300K+ won't ever be taxed.

Guys like Stewart won’t get the same money as the 3rd string right guard. The imbalance potential is massive. 

Beyond that, the whole point is that incentives in the future for virtually everyone will change. Once it’s proven and consistent that star WRs will make 6 figures yearly, schools are going to need alums to competitively make that happen. Things like that start to sap the Uncle Fund. But keep arguing that the bag game will reign supreme, I guess. It’s obviously important in this cycle, in any event. 

BTW, Evan Stewart’s dad is the “uncle” here and to think Stewart is getting the jack is incorrect. Every cycle will include the random uncle or two, no matter how much above board money is also in play.
