Texas' non-corporate NIL stack for the 2024 season was just less than $25M. Corporate was trending towards 8 figures. 

Texas is not middle class on this stuff. Neither is OSU, Oregon, or Michigan. Don't expect that to change. 

If someone brings a knife, [TEXAS] will bring a gun. If someone puts one of [OURS] in the hospital, [WE] will put everyone else in the morgue. That's both the Chicago way and today's NIL landscape.

There is no true terrain for Tech to take and hold in this game that Knight hasn't already taken. You can't move Lubbock and make it more desirable. You can't improve on the surroundings and non-sports experiences. You can't brag on academics or offer branding value. The only thing they can offer is a lot of money. That works at times, but if it worked a ton, their team would look a hell of a lot better than it does. They do not remind me of Marlo Stanfield at all. They're Brother Mouzone. Hired muscle that can be a pain in someone's ass, but a side player never reaching the big stage. 

ATM is Ziggy. Come on. 

I guess I wish I were familiar with The Wire so I could appreciate how funny this is. It feels very funny.

Brother Mouzone is actually a bad comp for Tech. That dude was always reading and quoting smart stuff. That ain’t Tech.

Tech is more like Nick Sobotka, who wants to be a player and thinks he is smarter than he is. He wants a seat at the big boy table, but doesn’t have the skills to be a big player. He gets a little money, buys a pickup and thinks he is king shit. But ultimately isn’t cut out for the game.

According to 247Sports sources, a few schools to consider for Lewis are Maryland, Villanova, Georgetown, St. John's, Texas and Indiana.


Lastly, for Texas, they are still in the hunt to deepen their backcourt and just hired Kenya Hunter with DMV ties and recruited Lewis during his first recruitment.

I hope we can land Devin Haid. That is the kind of player I like to get in the portal.  Proven all-conference players who still have multiple years left to play for Texas.

He was 2nd team All-NorthEast conference as a freshman. He is already a great FT shooter, and I bet he makes good gains in his 3P% over the next couple of years.  This guy plus Traore would be awesome.
