Today is boring. Not enough clearly tampered commitments going on.

It's been repeated here several times by people in the know that a small handful of medium donors are carrying most of the NIL weight for us right now and they are close to being tapped out. Apparently TOF is not where it needs to be yet, either.

I assume aggy is in a similar position, probably even worse since they just had to pass the hat to buy out Jimbo. Where the fuck are they getting the money to re-up a guy like Nolen?

You're assuming aggy is making rational rather than emotional decisions.  You're asking the question assuming they're not blowing way more than they can afford to re-up him, and that they won't pay the price by not having enough for other needs.

If you assume that they'd spend whatever they have to spend in order not to be mocked for losing him, it starts to make more sense.

So we may not get any bangers??

Yes. It’s to the point where Aggies are celebrating a player that has been a huge disappointment not portaling as a recruiting win.  It made it laugh at the absurdity of it. 

They’re gonna make a trophy out of that.

If you give Nolen a raise after entering the portal, you're just encouraging more of your players to enter.  That's how you get more money, by scaring the money guys. 

But they aren’t getting paid a dime….

[Snake Diggity 4714]

Wish list:

WR: Juice Wells, Julian Fleming

TE: Tanner Kozial

DL: Walter Nolen

Why Fleming? Dude is injury prone and hasn’t lived up to his ranking.

There are much better WRs in the portal than Flemming. 

[Hornlover 8943]

Maybe somebody should ask Juice Wells to invite Nyckoles Harbor to join him in the portal. He'd be amazing sliding into that JT Sanders role.

Random side observation but kinda crazy that his snap counts across three years were only 2 snaps different at most

Bobby said this AM that Texas has been in contact with a WR who hasn't been linked to Texas yet (not Burks or Wells).  They're also looking for a "disruptor" on D.

Excellent reporting by bobby there.  Every team playing football wants this.

Honest question - why is Deion Burks so highly regarded? His numbers aren't that special

Hopefully Will Sheppard gets a call

[Hiphopopotamos 21191]

FWIW - in the ‘Portal’ thread on IT, Nahlin has DB/S listed as needing/expecting 3-4 guys from the portal.

I’m told they would also like a few guys who score a lot of touchdowns.

The sad part is he actually already missed one full half (minus 10 seconds).  Seems like you get a harsher sentence if you do it early in the half vs late.  Targeting 10 seconds before the end of the game, gives you first half of next game.  Targeting 10 seconds into the half gets you the entire second half plus another one.  They should go by a rolling 30 mins.  In this case he would only miss 10 seconds of the next game.

Hmmm.... 3rd in the country in Sacks per Game, and 6th in TFLs per game? Sounds good.

Lulz.  This is from the Horns 247's article on Mukuba being in the portal.
