The thing is that the coach that put those two guys in the NFL is gone. So yes claim it but it can easily be countered.

I understand, but the DC is the same, so the scheme hasn't changed.  Plus, Texas and Sark have demonstrated the willingness/ability to find high quality replacements for departing position coaches.

That has not been shown to be the case at either ou or USC.

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

Shit, forgot about that rule already. Tough luck :(

What is irritating about your first post is the way you indicate that "they" have conveyed to someone, maybe only you, that that guy is the target. All Gerry did, in a generic portal thread, was state that Arkansas' stud punter was in the portal. That doesn't immediately indicate that he's thinking Texas is in on the guy. Christ.

We need to go after all these DTs in the portal, no matter the cost. Even if some of them never see meaningful snaps it means that other teams don’t get them. I want a 12 deep at DT that costs 5 million dollars a year. It will all pay off when we’re in the playoffs and other teams are starting linebackers at DT because every human over 300 pounds in the portal came to Texas. Chess not checkers.

2 DTs in back to back drafts.

I love Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 starts with 2 drunk dudes driving to the Texas/OU game.

TCM2 is actually a roman à clef written by cafe society and me, and we were really headed to the SWC Basketball Tournament. Everything else is true. Leatherface was a pussy.

This notion of "need" regarding DT has gotten out of hand across the longhorn netdom and the media it follows. We "need" oxygen. The football team "needs" depth and a standout QB. It would be nice to have another anchor at DT for this season. I hope the plans for one come together and Texas has another excellent option on the roster by the summertime.

That said, all aspects of the defense are going to be better around these spots, and that lessens the urgency that many are espousing. Texas has better depth across the board, better experience at every other spot, and better talent everywhere else. There's also quality talent at the DT positions and that talent can be realized. Texas isn't trotting out Alex Norman and Gerald Wilbon on the interior DL this year irrespective of whether they bring another guy in from the portal or not.

Burton is fixated on this.

Brah, the Internet does not lie, and I was assured up thread that it was a done deal that he was going to USC and UT shouldn't even bother.  

I wonder with Alexander reaffirmed, if it might've changed some things? Don't know but fuck sc.

Don't even get your hopes up. It is USC. They almost had him in the Winter portal but he wanted to see how that new defensive staff would come together first. Apparently he liked what he was hearing from people he knows on that roster. Unless something really crazy happens I doubt he even takes other visits. Maybe he will use it as an excuse to get some free travel in but USC came in way over market value to make sure this one doesn't turn into a bidding war with others.

Obviously something could change but I've been expecting this one for weeks. This info per one of the bigger contributors to USC's NIL efforts. 


Nailed it.

In 2023, Sapp graduated from Texas Seminary Christian University with a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Sports Management. The conferment of his degree allows him to be hired by Head Coach Deion Sanders and work as a Colorado Buffaloes football team staff member.

He was our only QB take in that class.  Charlie may have been the worst coach in Texas history but Tom Herman was begging dudes like Max Merrill and Charles Wright to come to Texas at the end of his tenure.  Im not sure I truly realized how shitty this roster was and Sark has done a fantastic job turning over this roster in just 3 years.  Hell we are losing guys like Tapp, Guillete (rumored to be entering), Walton…. Talented P5 level players bc they are 3rd string on this team.  AJ Milwee saying Bama’s 2nd team would whip the Texas starters when he arrived here makes a lot more sense looking back.

Or he said to himself "what am I even doing at this junior college" and got a job

Didn't even wait around until ski season, and I thought chilling in a mountain vacation town was the point.

Toia apparently has a little brother class of 27 who is a fucking wrecking ball.

Freshman on varsity highlights.

After the first or second highlight, I wondered why he needed to do the circle-himself thing on Hudl, since it was very obvious which guy he was. He's the giant fucking mammoth blowing up anything in his path.
