  1. There's not really a "way" to take advantage outside of the initial USC NIL yeah. People are throwing out, in most cases, ridiculous numbers based on false assumptions from the settlement. Texas is not, thats why it feels like we've missed on so many key recruits. Right now it's just a waiting game as Texas is playing with "real money," as in legitimate sources and avenues to their NIL while others are not. So while our recruiting summer has been relatively uneventful when considering the lead up. The goal is to instead have it also be a relatively uneventful transfer portal with guys looking to leave because their NIL deals can't be fulfilled.
  2. Hopefully required reading to participate in the thread. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/article/we-dont-know-the-rules--big-12-coaches-still-wrestling-with-new-world-order-after-player-payment-changes-013454522.html
  3. I want to personally apologize for posting that Finley graphic. I thought it was mature and classy for him to thank the schools who recruited him in a direct and concise way. I thought it was nice and welcome in the world of bidding wars. I didn’t realize he threw the Texas hat, I personally don’t care but many people here seem to. Not for me to judge for them. Im more just sorry that it deviated the thread for near 2 pages comparing the kid and his family to a legacy who was openly shitting on our coaches and development like the Brock’s did. I’d almost take the Ojo price bloviating and lamentation at this point again. I’ll be more cognascent of the shit I share here in the future I guess.
  4. Tangentially related to recruiting, but Kaydon Finley tweeted this today:

  6. Not sunshine pumping here, but the 995ers have been saying to keep an eye on Lee later on down the line for a potential flip. That or circle back to other options. Not worried, more just pissed the kid was straight lying to the staff.
  7. You saw that softball nil commitment right?
  8. Kinda funny in this cycle we have a TE the size of a OT, and an OT the size of a TE. Obviously I'll trust Flood's track record of development here/
  9. This shit is so funny. I hope someone in that recruitment for our side said. “See that highly valued DT D’antre Robinson? He took more money to go to Florida and already transferred out. Don’t be a D’antre, be a Maraad Watson.”
  10. Boulevard of Broken Bagmen has the alliteration going for it if we go that way.
  11. the only suggestion that made me laugh reading it. including my own. well done.
  12. Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: An offer they can't refuse until signing day
  13. Now can you please save your bleeding vagina for signing day. We're all well aware that you think we should be buying tractors for uncles rather than showing off Lamborghini's in DKR.
  14. Griff and Bishop at 7on7 today. Photo Creds is EarsToTheStreets on twitter.
  15. Don't forget Dylan Berymon. Our D-Line Haul could be: Corey Wells - 4star Vodney Cleveland - 4 star Dylan Berymon - 4 Star Potential ---- James Johnson - 4 star Kendall Guervil - 4 star Those are all intertior guys. Not to mention Wesley - 5 star, and we're still chasing Carolton and Henderson. I can't remember the last time we signed such a DL heavy class. Obviously it'll be a task to keep them all in the boat to signing day, but man, things are looking great.
  16. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/thats-not-normal-florida-states-rev-share-contracts-are-raising-eyebrows-agents-and-industry-experts-say/
  17. Found on Twitter. Not crediting the OB in the top right hand corner. Fuck OB
  18. Is this something we can pin? I'd like to not have to remember this is on page 118 or that its post 5860.
  19. I don't know how long you've been in the recruiting thread, so apologies if it comes off disrespectful. From my POV we're carpet bombing the DT board because real legitimate contributors are hard to come by and even harder to win in the portal. Maraad Watson was a welcome anomaly, but you're not going to find true difference makers in the portal on the DLine. Everyone wants them. I know we've had good experiences with our past portal haul, but the idea is to raise the floor and develop lines from the HS ranks rather than have to drop a few million on a DT every transfer portal period. I think it's extremely unlikely that if we get to 5 or 6 DT commits that they're going to start looking around. At the very least they'll stay a year, collect their money and the cream will rise to the top. Thats what an elite program looks like. Quit being a pussy about the numbers.
  20. DISCLAIMER THIS POST IS ABOUT THE SCUM FUCK KETCH. IF YOU DONT CARE DONT READ. Seems like Ketch isn't following through with the Merger? so IT will be the new Rivals site, and OB is going independent.
  21. He's rocking Texas gear at the Rivals 5star event in Indy today. Has posted in Texas gear before as well on his twitter. https://247sports.com/player/ismael-camara-46152366/
  22. Anyone willing to put in the legwork to see how many decommits we’ve had in the NIL era? Would love to see the math on who commits versus ultimately ends up in the class. Same thing other teams are saying in regards to “it’s a long time to signing day.” Especially with CTJ saying yesterday they’re not just accepting commits from anyone. But in reality it feels since NIL our signing day 1s have been pretty quiet. TIA if anyone takes it upon themselves.
