  1. My guess is that hes a guy who was cool with not getting a schollie knowing he was going to get paid and also someone who would not necessarily cause too much ire as trying to flaut the scholarship system being a specialist, knowing that it UT gave them one more scholarship so a guy didn't get asked to transfer
  2. With schools having 48 hours to officially process and put in portal requests, I do wonder if we will get to a point of having specific teams being tagged as “not portal friendly” due to their consistent slow walking of paperwork? In truth, is there any benefit to me from a schools perspective not to make it my policy to wait the full time frame before processing a portal request? The students has limited power here and if it leads to even one case of the school being to persuade a student to pull their name and stay due to the extra time to try and come to some form of agreement, why would any school process anything sooner? I personally don’t believe that dragging it out has much impact for the star or starter level caliber player, as many of those have offers in hand before entering the portal, but how does this hurt the lower tier transfer depth or development guys wanting to move on? Does adding 48 more hours impact how has spots left enough for this to really matter? Interesting question that has enough facets to it that it could have some interesting unintended consequences that could be studied…
  3. So hypothetically, 30M in hundreds is approximately the size of a small uhual carrying 30 2.4 foot cubes… Say you drive from LA to Miami in a 48 hour span to a marina in coral gables. It is then a nice 1000 mi boat ride to the 1000 mi 2 1/2 or so day boat trip. Then take the same boy back and then drive back to Texas and be home tonight…. I don’t know nuthin about nuthin and if anyone asks you guys saw me Tuesday in Austin so there is no way I was out of the country that day….
  4. Diddy is still in Miami and his plane left without him.. Makes you wonder why...
  5. IS-K is going to be my guess. What will make this weird is that the standard Russian response would be to drop a ton of troops into that region and slaughter everyone, but there is not enough manpower or equipment to do so without pulling parts of it out of Ukraine. So if this is a “false flag” it would be odd to try to steer it towards the IS-K unless the entire goal is to use it as an exit strategy on Ukraine by saying we are stopping our annexation here as we have achieved our “de-nazification” objective and have annexed all parts that are significantly Russian… If it is IS-K and not a false flag then things will get real complicated as what is a valid Russian response? How do you mobilize the troops (which they probably want) but then have to find out how to do the logistics and supply to support this 2nd active operation without being able to also strip troops from Chechnya?
