Hicks is in.

Damn Sark, I thought you were an offensive wizard. This defensive class is a bunch of pipe hittin' mofos. That secondary class with the 2 corners and Williams/Hicks at safety is nasty. 

If Sark keeps this up, along with our get 2 TDs then run you into the ground on offense style, they're going to have to change the moto to All Diesel no Air Brakes.

Naw I'd rather Texas take the players that are scheme fits as opposed to them just having a bunch of stars by their name.

Trust the coaches, got it. There is no need for you to contribute any further, we understand your position on every issue moving forward.

Wiley was a loss, but aside from that, extremely solid day.

Where did he go? That's a bit surprising, guess that's an extra LB they're going to have to identify and land in the portal. 

Outside of an extra DT and LB the only glaring miss this cycle ended up being Dakorian Moore. But when a dude hates his family so much he's fleeing to the PNW wilderness, there's nothing you can do about that.

Miami…despite Miami refusing to allow him to take an official visit

Will Sark sign any punters or placekickers straight from high school going forward?

OR will that strictly be rolling the dice to HOPE you can get them from the portal every year?

Has he said anything about future philosophy on getting punters or placekickers?

There's always solid K/P talent in the Portal. We didn't chase it last year since we thought Auburn and Kern could do the job (oops)

Interesting how the money is flying around right now. Gerry mentioned because profit sharing will change so much next year that teams are emptying both barrels right now. I am still unclear how profit share will impact NIL. Are there going to be new rules around what guys can do on the NIL side?

Not according to the supreme court as well as all other precedent of professional athletes making money with endorsements and appearances. Is there a governing body that limits what you can be paid?
NIL is untouchable

He'll take walk ons for those, but I'm sure portal will be the top avenue. 

Think it would have to be an elite talent to use a scholarship on out of HS

I still think Kern will be fine, but we definitely need to K in the worst way.  Auburn is getting worse each game.

I’m on the other side-if you want to beat up teams with strong defense you’ve got to pair that with a reliable punter.  
 

Particularly with the offense poised to be more inconsistent next season with the new lineman and TE.

That dude is cushioned with his fantasies by the ineptitude of the ACC. The two times they went up against SEC teams this year, they were smaller, slower, and crushed at the point of attack. I'm sure they'll do awesome in the playoffs, should they somehow actually beat SMU. I'd love to see Texas face them.

They open next season against LSU.  Home game for Clemson.  Should be entertaining seeing as how Brian Kelly is 0-3 in season openers at LSU and his teams have looked so undisciplined.

He should try to get one from that ProKick Australia group.

There's no more walk ons? Hadn't heard about that.

Kern is a true freshman who didn't get to campus until July and played hurt.  Give him an off-season in the S&C program and he'll be much better next year.  His average this year was almost identical with Dickson his freshman year.
