This is going to be like the Hershel Walker trade to the Vikings where we sent Hudson Card to Purdue and then they sent us like 5 players in return.

Hudson was out there handing out Austin travel guides and taking the team down to his family's house on Lake Travis on bye weeks

Do we know what is going to happen with Niblack? I’ve just assumed he is moving on.

I know everyone is pretty high on Jordan Washington but it gets pretty scary behind him. Spencer Shannon, Will Randle and 2 true freshman. Adding a proven guy would make a lot of sense.

So just postulating here...

But if Texas signs a pretty good DL haul from the portal, it pretty much has to be taken as fact that it's because Helobious really fucking knows his way around other men's shafts, right? Like a once in a generation dong director kind of skillset. A real boss of the hog. 

A succesful portal outcome makes this fait accompli. Or his skillset makes a succesful portal outcome fait accompli, however you guys like to view it.

Nobody knows, but it sounds like he came here to be developed.  Helm and Davis will be gone next year so we need at least one more TE even with Niblack stepping up.

That would be six scholarship TEs. If we still need to add another one there needs to be some cleaning done to that room.

I think there's a non zero chance that some cleaning might come on it's own. Nothing insider here. I don't see Arch's boy leaving, but Spencer Shannon could be a casualty.

Yes, he's sure a handy guy to have around supporting the team.

As compared to 10 years ago, it seems to be getting a little easier predicting who will be a bust in a recruiting class. Ross, Bryant, Mitchell, etc. were all flagged as pretty big risks when they signed, except by a few fanboys who blindly love everyone Texas takes, usually with a “trust the coaches” reference.

This feels like revisionist history.

I don't remember any of those guys being flagged as "big risks" whatsoever when they came out. Some folks weren't as high on Ross becuase of concerns, but "big risk" seems like a stretch. Everyone assumed a kid on a college S&C and nutrition program would be able to gain 20-25 pounds on a college nutrition and S&C program. Instead the fucking guy came in and lost 10. I feel like that's a pretty rare occurrence.

Mitchell was coveted by everyone at the time, including GA, and he was a big win. Yes, he was a big body, but everyone was high on that guy, and he still has great qualities. His problem is his head. I don't remember ANY large segment of guys saying he was a Finch from wildcats style fatbody who would never amount to anything. This shit is what's happening in retrospect. 

I don't really remember any of Bryant's recruitment either way.

Odd that no one is mentioning Jaray Beldooe here, who basically enrolled academically by the skin of his teeth, and succesfully doing that was a shock to many. People threw around terms like "learning disability" at the time, yet we never hear that mentioned as part of his bust factor.

I was just about to respond similarly. This board was giving Bo Davis a sloppy blow job after the 2022 DT/Edge class.  Same thing with Sydir Mitchel. The revolt against Davis came later.

In the hypothetical world where I’m not one of the straightest posters on this site, I think I could do a hell of a lot better than giving out handjobs to dollar-bin sports agents or fatfuck d-linemen from losing college teams. You guys have dumb fantasies

From what I recall of the ‘23 DT class, we liked Mitchell as a high-upside take but hated only signing one DT

I know that whenever I hear someone go out of their way to tell me just how straight they are, they're absolutely, never ever overcompensating or trying to misdirect people.

That being said, I've never seen someone follow up in the next sentence by "offering to do more than just give out handjobs." The ole' "I'm straighter than the equator, but I could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch and spit it back on as a disco ball" dynamic, eh? 

If you want to throw in some mouth work or even spread your cheeks for some truly talented roster beef, no one here is going to stop you. We're going to fucking cheer you on, man. You're the absolutely-no-joke-super-straight-handjob-hero we need right now. God bless.

I figured the staff was ready to develop Washington as TE1 for next year but it never hurts to have productive players at the position. This could also be a bad sign for Niblack.

You can also use 2-3 TEs at the same time
