Yeah, it was pretty obvious that something happened on the visit. 

I imagine the coaches do not want players that are coming here strictly for NIL, the Bear Alexander types.  Also, if the rumored 7 figure ask is true, I find it hard to believe they will shell out that much when WR is not the biggest need.  That number may be higher than what we paid Worthy, Mitchell, Bond and I'm not sure Singleton is that talent level even if he has the speed.  Considering we have Moore, Wingo, Butler, Livingstone, the incoming freshman, we can probably find a WR that will cost a lot less and get the same type of production.  Shit for 7 figures, get me the Clemson WRs instead.

If you return Moore and Wingo and have two five star freshman coming in, it has to be a pretty special player to demand that kind of NIL. If we just wanted another experienced receiver there are plenty of good ones out there like Malachi Fields that would cost a lot less.

Texas is still in the running for a National Championship this season, but that doesn't mean the work behind the scenes for 2025 is slowing down.

Of course, the Longhorns are mighty thin on the defensive line for the upcoming season with just 86 snaps on the roster at the moment. The addition of Purdue DL Cole Brevard will help, but Texas is going to need a few more bodies out of the portal to get the 2025 roster to where it needs to be come SEC play.

A look at some interesting options in the portal at the moment:

***

Iowa State DL Tyler Onyedim

6'4"

295 pounds

Redshirt Junior

1,194 career snaps

The former Iowa State Cyclone is one that OTF believes Texas has interest in at the moment. Onyedim has been a contributor for Iowa State over the last three seasons with 21 starts in the past two seasons. Originally a native of Richmond, Texas, it would not be too surprising to see a return to the Lone Star State for a fifth season of college football for Onyedim.

 

Utah DL Keanu Tanuvasa

6'4"

301 pounds

Redshirt sophomore

973 career snaps

Tanuvasa entered the portal Monday morning and immediately hit some of they criteria points of recent Texas DL additions. At Utah, Tanuvasa started 19 games over the last two seasons where 799 of his snaps came over the B-Gap or as a 3-tech. Interesting option there.

 

Washington State DL David Gusta

6'3"

302 pounds

Redshirt Junior

1,253 career snaps

Gusta is a pass-rushing specialist form the interior. Pro Football Focus had him ranked as the 3rd highest rated pass rusher among all Power Four interior defensive linemen for the 2024 season. With 28 QB pressures and 11.3% win rate, it is easy to see why that rating is where it is. Really intriguing piece in the portal at the moment. 

 

Wisconsin DL James Thompson Jr.

6'5"

290 pounds

Redshirt Senior

932 careers snaps

Texas has yet to show interest in the former Wisconsin DL who played a bit more of the 5-tech look for the Badgers. Thompson has offers and visits set for Tennessee, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and several others at the moment. One hiccup here is the redshirt senior played in just one game in 2024 due to injury.

 

North Carolina DL Travis Shaw

6'5"

330 pounds

Junior

590 career snaps

Shaw was a solid reserve piece for North Carolina over the last three seasons. He was not credited with a start over his three years in Chapel Hill, but he does have notable size for a guy with 83% of his snaps coming as a 3-tech.

ETA Regarding Singleton:

I thought the word was that he didn't mesh well when he visited. I got the impression that the cooling was mutual.

My guess is that he led with NIL demands.

When he entered it was alleged that it was Georgia that lured him to the portal. There was a rumor that he had ridiculous NIL request to them and they said no thank you.

M'pemba was one of the guys that was busted for reckless driving, right?  Doesn't look like he played at all this year. Seems like they're picking up more bread

M'Pemba was cited for driving 88 in a 55MPH zone I believe. He was a reserve with 6 tackles over 15 games played in the last 2 years.

So aggy purged the roster of headcases and players with questionable character under Jimbo.  Elko is changing the culture folks!  Lmao, that lasted a few months.  I see they are back to taking players that were basically told to fuck off by their current teams in Micah Hudson, Julian Humphrey and now the more recent UGA edge.

It was his sister, and they had the inside track on him because of that. She is now at UNT, but Wesco has fully drank the Dabo kool

I think it was his sister (an OU athlete) but who knows.

Sure seems like aggy is taking a lot of players without proven production. 

Craver seems decent, but will be wasted in Kleins offense.  The Colorado (when healthy) and the Florida EDGE guy may be decent rotation guys.  The rest of the takes are bread.

That’s how you know we’re back in the early 2000’s talent wise. 
 

we lost Singleton the #1 player in the portal and not a lot of ppl even cared cause we have so much talent specially in the WR room

4 five stars (Wingo, French, Lockett, Terry?),

4 four Stars (Moore, Butler, McCutcheon, Niblett,) and

Livingston who according to reports has been balling) and we still don’t know what Golden will do, along with Arch at QB. 

I think we’ll be okay

@closetojumping is punching the radio that his daddy won and tuned it to a country show that he was rocking in the cradle to the crying of a steel guitar to!
