As a Katy ISD product from about ten years ago - if you go to the higher performing ones (Seven Lakes, Cinco Ranch etc...) the classes are large and really competitive. I had an A average and a pretty good ACT/SAT score, played sports and did some other shit and I wasn't even in the top 10%. And at the time of my graduating UT had already dropped from top 10% to I think 8%. I had to transfer into Texas after a year. 

As much as I love Texas and being a Longhorn was my only dream in life. Looking back taking some money from Arky, or some other university. Probably would have been smart. Still would't change a thing though. 

Evidently UT failed to teach you about sentence fragments, so yeah you should've just saved your money.

Texas and Oregon put the CFB world on tilt with their respective NIL efforts. Many alumni bases are reacting pragmatically and trying to build something competitive of their own that fits their specif

Color me surprised that people promising NIL as enticement have not followed through at all and those who have done everything by the book have set expectations that will be met.  It's almost lik

Buddy of mine has a son in the Honors College at UF. He turned down 2 ivies for the full ride to UF. I think UF is a top 30 school now and in the top 5 of public universities. Getting in to UF is rough for in-state kids, and very difficult for out of state kids. 

This is correct. Florida isn’t begging anyone to come. They have plenty of candidates.

Mario Williams committed to OU without ever stepping on campus because of his relationship with Caleb Williams. The fact he actually visited other places should be telling of his legit interest in at least looking around for non Caleb Williams destinations. 

I think he just has time and figures why not just visit for the hell of it. We of course want to try out of hope. He is going where Caleb goes imo. 
 

I hope the Addison smoke is real. That would be an absolutely insane WR core.

The "seven" number is a one time additional up-to seven spots made available on a one-in-one-out basis of outgoing transfers. They can be used in the same fashion the usual 25 counters are used; "new scholarships", meaning signees or incoming scholarship transfers. So, assuming no room from previous classes, you can take 32 transfers and no signees, or 32 signees or no transfers, for this class. 

They'll likely change this one time rule to permanent annual rule, but they haven't done that yet. 

That makes sense, thanks.

So right now we have 27 HS commits, plus hopefully D Campbell and maybe Champ Lewis still comes. Let's say 28. Making up numbers let's say we count 5 of those guys towards last year's class. That means for 2022 we'd have 23 HS counters and room for 9 transfers?

I have no idea where they found the numbers, but supposedly there are eight spots left, which is seven if you're counting Campbell as already being in

Translation: Texas definitely didn't tamper with me. Nothing to see here. Move along. I'll just be choosing them over Alabama and Clemson in a few days.

Gary Patterson isn’t allowed to speak to former players as a civilian?  No tampering here.  What’s the NCAA gonna do about it anyway?  Fuck em.

Marion posted showing a slide with some players' rough NIL earnings "before Clark Field"

Is it better than Sumlin's slide that he used to show with the number of SEC draft picks vs the Big 12 draft picks? The B12 was in burnt orange and the SEC was in Maroon, but they were all Bama, LSU, Florida, and Georgia's draft picks.

Are you sure about that ctj? I thought I read a couple months ago that the maximum number of transfers a school can accept is 7.

Yes, I am certain. Fud already handled the data supporting my original post and all of the other posts I've written dismissing the numbers discussion.

Under the recommendation, schools can sign 25 new players while gaining additional signee spots for each player who transfers out of their program—up to a limit of seven, sources tell Sports Illustrated. The transferring player must have left academically eligible. For instance, a school that loses five players to the portal can sign 30 new players. A school that loses 10 players to the portal can sign 32 new signees.

Its 7.

You don't have a fucking clue. It's so fucking tedious to witness, too, because then you pummel the thread with insipid volume trying to guard your clueless takes.

Just assume, when you have any doubt about your position in a discussion on this board, that your instincts are heinously incorrect and maybe you should just watch other people with a fucking clue help you better form your opinion on a matter. This isn't my advice to most folks, but it is incredible to me how exactly wrong you are repeatedly on a wide and varied array of subjects. 

********

For anyone else worried about numbers:

1) No, the transfer "limit" isn't 7. If you consider yourself a reasonably intelligent person, spend 30 seconds thinking about the difference in a purported "ceiling" and a limit. If there was a 7 transfer "limit", it would have garnered a fuckton more news coverage than the moving of the cap did. Texas State's entire "recruiting" strategy in the last cycle was to fill the entire class with transfers. Had that rule suddenly changed, you would flat out know it.

2) There are so many workarounds and bureaucratic tricks that savvy staffs can pull off when fucking around with the caps that it makes the numbers flatly meaningless. I've said for 4 months that there were rumors about: a big attrition push + a maxed out class + the new ceiling of 7 more spots + the need for a roster overhaul, voiced by Sarkisian and the staff to friends of the program and people covering it = 35-40 new guys by August. That remains my view. It doesn't matter if you think the "cap" is 32, or if some nitwit spouting numbers on a recruiting podcast believes that.

3) Stop worrying about the fucking numbers.
