2023 Transfer Thread - Texas Capitalized, ATM Victimized

35 minutes ago, BurntOrange&White said:

It appears this staff wants a few 6’3-6’5 guys to go with all our sub 6 foot guys. 
 

 

We have no healthy receivers for spring that can go up and get a ball. 
 

 

6’5 with speed to burn is Thornton Jr. 

Co-sign. This is why I've felt Ja'Kobi Lane would be a priority take over the other High School WRs UT is recruiting.

Agreed completely. Dorbah is the kind of high-ranking recruit that has killed Texas since 2010 forward. The services liked him, but the programs perennially in or around CFP contention weren't really on him. Good luck to him, in any event.

Agreed, hope he's successful elsewhere, but this is the type of player that used to stick around for 4-5 years and never contribute.  Glad to see 8 win Steve is taking a different approach to roster management.

We’ll see if you’re ecstatic when it’s verified. 

Not a attack on you, but outside of: Ewers, Sanders, Banks, Campbell, and maybe Williams on offense, and, Murphy and Barron on defense, I’m not sure I’m sweating a loss from anyone else. Haven’t reports shown that Ford, Sweat, and Watts plan to return? All the guys listed seem to be pretty damn plugged in to the program right now.

Edit: forgot about J. Thompson. He’s solid enough that it would hurt, and for some reason I’ve wondered about him transferring. But we know the staff is already trying for a S in the portal, not counting BJ Allen and Williams (we think) in the wings

Marion just started following this grad transfer:

https://fordhamsports.com/sports/football/roster/dequece-carter/11803

56 catches for 1166 yards and 13tds this season at Fordham

Wife's cousin was an OL there 2018-2021, I'll see if I can get any insider info. Carter went 7/120/2 in the Holy Cross game we attended in 2019. /csb

I'm intrigued by this Thornton kid now. Compare him to our WR room.

Respect to Troy O. Simple yet effective tweet.

Seemed like a good kid who got bit with injuries. Shit happens, good luck to him. I hope he makes a comeback somewhere.

There's the problem. We need fewer edges and more EDGEs

We’d definitely take him if he were interested in flipping from USC.

DJ Harris intends to portal.

@closetojumping has the EDGE name we didn't really want to hear get posted yet? guessing not Dorbah or Harris

guys left: Collins, Sorrell, Finkley, Bledsoe, Tapp, Burke?

Spoiler

i am assuming Collins just because that's maybe the only name the recruiting threads would be worked up about, but not sure

 

Didn't Coffey play well this year? or maybe I'm thinking of Thompson. Sorry my memory is absolute shit.

Thompson did. Coffey played sparingly.

Anyone hear any smoke on a my punters we are targeting.  I feel like we need to focus on a good punter

Jerrin Thompson got most the reps and played well. I still think he is the most over rated player on our entire roster, especially in PFF, since he was slow to adjust to routes and had frankly horrendous ball skills more often than not but he was much improved and a very good player overall for us. Coffey didn't make much an impact and I'm fairly certain we were recruiting people to jump him on depth chart out of portal /shrug.

No surprise - but was a nice luxury to have as a Jumbo TE.

Don't blame him, fiery dude who will start somewhere. He wasn't going to get too much PT here. He was probably about to get passed again on the depth chart.

Pretty sure all these guys so far have been processed in some form.

So Karic got told that he was not going to be in the mix for RT next year.

Would love to have kept him, but go do well as a starting tackle at a G5 next year bud.

Dec 4th is gonna be nuts, already getting crazy.

I don't remember anything about a particular edge guy leaving. I think I posted the potential transfers that were feared or expected on this thread a week or so ago. I assume I listed Dorbah, because I don't think anyone is surprised. Might not have mentioned Harris because, hell, I damned near forgot he was on the team. 

I don't consider Collins an edge. Popular opinion has been that he'll come back. My personal opinion is that I'm expecting him to transfer. We'll see. I'm cheering against him being at Texas or anything.

On the OL, SGW should be coming up with an announcement here shortly. I think folks will be surprised if there's anyone on the OL being told today that there's no playing time for them in the future unless Parr really wants leave.

I've said as few as 10 and as many as 20 will transfer. I think staff-supported exits will number at least 10. There will absolutely be some guys that Texas doesn't want to lose if as many as 20 are gone by this time next week.

The teams with the most talent, like Alabama, will be the teams sweating the most.  I wouldn't be surprised if Saban takes one look at the new landscape and walks away.  Who needs that aggravation? He's already considered the greatest college coach of all time.

The folks in the '23 recuiting thread who've been speculating that the committed TE from Mater Dei was candidate to be processed look foolish now. That TE can step right into Karic's role.

I don't know if he's wired that way. He's more likely to see it as a new challenge and something he would like to perfect before his 90th birthday.

Saban has been churning his roster for years, this just makes it easier. If he loses someone on his team, he’ll just go and replace them with someone from your team.

First one I actually care about. He would have at least been depth, with the potential to develop

Just now, RollingPresidential said:

He was the third corner early in the year but got passed up by Brooks and Austin Jordan.

Darn, I liked J Johnson. Oh well.

Jamier is likely the one people were hinting at. Solid kid, but he was gonna be in a dogfight for snaps next year. 

1 hour ago, Vertigo said:

I may be in the minority on this, but I don't think we should be targeting receivers who have not been highly productive already. Neyor, Thompson, Cook, Niblett, and maybe Worthy if he stays, are guys you are going to want to see the field. If a guy hasn't had 500+ yards receiving or isn't some super stud WR recruit that got screwed over somehow, then I don't see the point. 

Screwed over, you say? Well, his QB was Bo Nix.

 

I'm mostly kidding here.

I think he would have been in a dogfight to remain in the two-deep. Watts, Brooks, Jordan, Muhammad.

Does Jamier Johnson entering the portal mean that 2021 class CB from Dallas Skyline (or maybe another Dallas ISD high School) will stick around despite him getting in trouble multiple times?

Ishmael Ibraheem. Dallas Kimball. Probably not.
