I would guess we take Bond and we are done with WRs from the portal. Take a big swing at Williams but I feel like he is looking for a reason to go to Auburn.

Well, Auburn's turmoil might give him pause.

I posted this on the FB board but will post it in a few threads here too: Some of us just sorted a whole bunch of NIL stuff for the 2024 cycle for Texas football on behalf of everyone else. Texas

The shot with Williams is as the compromise school. The dad wants Auburn and the player doesn’t seem really interested in Auburn. 

Dude will not be cheap though. 

How much of what goes into Football for NIL is targeted for Portal vs Recruits. Seemingly getting Bond would have an impact on funds for Williams?

I didn't mean to insinuate anything other than that. I thought it was fairly common knowledge that recruits are shown what they could be making when they get here. Sorry if my question came off incorrectly?

That's fine, my Bobby Layne should cover it.

I love J Whitt but he left a lot to be desired at the 3 spot. Obviously he was a great blocker and team guy. 

J Whitt was EXACTLY what we needed at the 3 spot. Dude almost NEVER dropped a ball, was absolutely clutch on 3rd down conversions, always picked up tough YAC, was an enthusiastic blocker, and never complained that he wasn't getting the ball more. He's one of my favorite dudes on the this year's team.

I'm stoked if we get Bond, but the appropriate reaction is to hope for similar production as AD and not expect it. But AD wasn't exactly a sure thing when he transferred either. He had excelled in playoff games, but was hurt in 2022 and put up good but not great numbers in 2021. Maybe we get the same from Bond. But we also don't have anyone as proven as Worthy on the roster. There's a fuck-ton of potential, but none of it is proven.

Lulz.

Aggie board.  Disappointed with the (lack of the)  Wiggins effect - err, "affect".

I could be wrong, but I don't think the coaching staff is "supposed" to be directly involved in those talks, but they can direct them to people who will discuss it.

Is a Cook/Bond/Golden/Wingo/Moore receiving room the best in the country? Ohio State is the only team that comes to mind as better... and their QB is *checks* Will fucking Howard

Nibblet is legit.

I have high hopes for Nibblet. However, we didn't really hear anything about his progress this season. I wonder where he's at on the dev curve.

No idea if we have space but if we do then we have the obvious connection

I was pissed last year when we didn't chase him though it did sound like he was locked to Washington before hitting the portal. Not sure CB is a big enough need to justify what he would likely cost considering our situation at DT and TE right now (and safety if Barron does decide to declare) though. 

Jabbar is certainly better than Brooks but he will cost a fortune.

Did you even see our receiver room this year? Sark isn't like our past coaches who rotated players in and out just to get them on the field, he's a continuity guy. Cook was lucky to get what little playtime he did, and that's only because
Sark knows he's taking X's spot next season.

You say all this until you see someone play that position who would house some of the catches J Whitt made. Like I said great blocker and team guy but leaves a lot of big play ability to be desired. Yes I’m aware he’s had some great catches and I’m not talking about that kind of big play type.
