2023 Transfer Thread - Texas Capitalized, ATM Victimized

All the shit about Texas the Brock twins were saying to croots we were targeting, yeah don't think I will forget that.

To be fair, they weren't saying anything that the rest of us weren't saying about Herman

This is business. If the Brocks could help us, bring them aboard. But I don’t think they can, so we should pass on them. 
 

Fuck Blake, though. I see him as the villain here. JMHO

To be fair, fuck ‘em.

Frock the Bucks

No surprises here with the roster opportunity. TE is wide open.

To be fair, DeMarco Cobbs would have slapped the shit out of them.  

So where's this badass safety and badass WR?

I believe that CTJ previously stated that we were told by a S, DE, and OL that they were coming. I wonder if this is still the case, and if any have entered the portal yet.

The portal will do wonders for his business.

Maybe I should start making edits...

Who risk going from a school where they had a scholarship to potentially landing without a scholarship

A lot of them didn’t have a scholarship to begin with. Those big total portal numbers always include walk-ons.

According to my Colorado friends, it looks like Trey Sanders is going to be a Buff.

And before he gets forgotten completely - there are better Wrs than JoJo Earle already in the portal - we don’t need him. 

Heard a couple weeks back he was going to hit the portal. Staff is meh on him

This is still all the chaff before the wheat. These are roster churn guys, malcontents or dudes with a destination already. The real portal prizes will probably come after the semester is done, do you think a dude that’s worth a damn wants his peers calling him a mother fucker during finals because he’s in the portal? Let things play out

Imo time to retire "fuck the Brocks." 2 of them were good Horns, looks like the last two weren't a miss after all. Time for Surly to move on

Ok, Blake… fuck off.

Also no sense giving the staff the chance to duck with your grades on the way out the door. Or more likely no sense taking away their motivation to fuck with your grades in a positive direction.

This is probably the best part of the portal, dudes that are too stupid to realize how valuable their scholarship and an education is bailing because they think they are headed to the NFL from the 2 deep on some shit ass team.

Nahlin guesses TCU for Earle.

Gonna be interesting to see how the different portal strategies between UT (recuiting on-the-field experienced & productive portal transfer players) and other in-state Big 12 schools like TCU & UH (recruiting portal players who were highly-recruited outta of H.S., but haven't proven it on-the-field yet at the college level) will work out long term.

This also shows how absolutely moronic the timing of this is. Before playoffs, bowls, signing day, and what will never ever be considered, academics. Portal should open after the end of the NCG

That's too late for some schools to get kids in for the spring semester, isn't it? I think this is the best option of bad options. Lets some guys go through bowl practice and bowl game to finalize their decision.

Guys have been announcing their intent to enter the portal all week, since their seasons ended. Not sure that would change if the official date moved forward a month.

God speed kid. Parr was a good soldier that was never a problem here. His problem was never his heart or love for the program, but instead, god given talent that got him passed over.

Best luck in your future endeavors!

So…we all know that they don’t actually transfer immediately upon entering the portal, right? Okay. Just checking…

Would seem to be an effective selling point in recruiting if Texas guaranteed 4 years of education, even if the kid hits the portal and winds up without an offer somewhere else. You play for Texas, you get an education. If things aren't working out on the football front, we made a commitment to your education and we will honor that.

I mean, you’re being a little harsh on our team.

But their scholarship can be revoked immediately, right?

Bummed about Parr, but I get it. Our O-Line was filled with Freshman and he couldn't cut it. Hope he finds success elsewhere, and thanks for believing in Texas in your recruitment. Hook'em

Majors is the only OL left from that 20' class.  Unless we're counting Goram-Welch.

We’re not.

Why isn't Goram-Welch going into the portal?!

What Happens to My Current Scholarship When I Enter the Transfer Portal?

NCAA DI schools are allowed to cancel or reduce a student’s scholarship as early as the next term after a student-athlete enters the Transfer Portal. Unfortunately, for those students who enter the Transfer Portal and then change their mind at a later date, they may have lost their scholarship (and their roster spot) by the time they finalize their decision. NCAA DII schools may also cancel or reduce a scholarship at the end of the period of the award on the scholarship agreement.

It's been covered already. He and Max Merrill are the same person.

Wait. Wasnt marky mark Brokermeyer still on the team this year?  I dont think he ever saw the field if he was.
