Hey guys, I have a request for y'all. Horns With Heart had a big day yesterday, and unfortunately I'm not the best with the Twitter. Can some of our more savvy posters (Looking at you @Longhornfrenzy) post all the good press we got yesterday. I know that much of this was pasted in the main recruiting thread, but I honestly don't have time to go back and scrape those pages for the links. Basically, we want this thread to be a living press thread, which we will then compile and use to show other donors and such when we pitch. 

It could be links to the news articles themselves, as well as the tweets or instagram posts or tik toks or whatever made by players, former players, news personalities, etc. Bruce Feldman, Quandre Diggs, 995ers, major news outlets, etc. We would really appreciate any help we can get compiling these things so we can turn around and utilize them to keep momentum going and ratcheting up the pressure. 

Thanks in advance, and please just post the links and tweets. Lets keep this thread as free of conversation as possible.

Also, anyone who has screenshots of Jeff Banks or any other UT coach liking our NIL related news or tweets would be great. 

just the way the twitter algo functions, these will be pulled far easier by whomever is running the hwh twitter page. the main feed should be filled with this stuff.

This dude rips Rovell and talks about Horns with Heart. SIAP

Quote

Why Rovell believes he should determine the market value of an offensive lineman instead of, you know, the people paying the money is anyone’s guess. Also a mystery: Why Rovell has appointed himself the arbiter of the “spirit” of a movement that has simply returned basic rights to athletes who never should have lost them in the first place.

Quote

So it is with the young men who eventually get those Horns with Heart deals. They’ve done the work to get recruited to the University of Texas, and a group of boosters there has decided that affiliating with them at the price of $50,000 per year is worth it.

That’s the market rate, and the players at the football powerhouses will be able to demand it, because that’s where the money is, just as it’s always been.

Eleventy billion. 

Basically the correct answer I'd imagine. First national championship in 35 years, better than even money favorite to win the Heisman the following year (even the dumbass AAS writers would have campaigned for him after he embarrassed their stupid votes in the Rose Bowl). He could have named his price. Hell, he could have been a spokesperson for every car lot in the city and they wouldn't even have cared that he was also doing spots for their competitors.

Not to make everyone sad, but in 2022 dollars, estimates for total NIL deals Vince Young could have gotten to entice him to stay for his senior year?

Already think about it often. We would've cruised to a repeat championship.
