  1. Portal closes tonight at midnight, right?
  2. You pointed out how I got my rep to which I replied at least it wasn’t from cloak room like some posters. What a professional victim.
  3. Wasn’t talking about you specifically but those who get a majority of their rep from there.
  4. Better than spamming cloak room for that rep tho
  5. You actually like ztejas? 😬
  6. Yeah I was shocked when I heard that stat earlier this week because I figured it would be more as well. Of those 51 fewer than 10 rushed for 1500+ and Jeanty is the only 2k+
  7. Texas gonna Texas Bobby Burton Posted 1 hour ago Some folks have suggested multiple reasons for Texas’ recent swoon in recruiting. Well, I’m here to tell you that there’s really only one reason - NIL. If this were just a year ago, and Texas had more funds to distribute, there’s little doubt in my mind that the Longhorns would hold the no. 1 recruiting class in the country. The reception Texas has been receiving on the recruiting trail has been enormous. But, unfortunately, it’s not last year. The House Settlement was passed and the recruiting class of 2026 must abide by it (at least some of the schools seem prepared to truly abide by it, Texas included). So we’re effectively entering a new dawn of recruiting, one where resources must be allocated. Teams are jockeying for the best players all while the best players are jockeying for the most money. About the only thing we’re assured of is that this will not be the final solution, this will not be the last stop on the recruiting merry-go-round. What could recruiting look like in the future? Some have recently suggested college football move to an NFL draft model. What a world that would be?!? We don’t know what the future holds. But for now, you have to play the cards you’re dealt. Texas is recruiting the nation’s best players all while Texas already fields one of the nation’s best rosters at a cost well above the House Settlement cap. The question must be asked: would you rather keep Ryan Wingo next year or take a highly ranked high school receiver? Something’s got to give. Now, I want to add this. The sky is not falling. Far from it. Texas will still simultaneously construct an elite roster and an elite recruiting class. Of that, I have no doubt. But at times, it’s going to feel and look different than what we saw in the anything-goes NIL era.
  8. Out of all fbs Tre is one of 50ish RBs to rush for 1000 yards last season. Imo they are choosing him for this because they expect more out of him this season behind a like that could have more push.
  9. Yeah they’re definitely hating. Even when LeBron or curry were hurt or missed games they were still voted higher by their peers. v12044gd0000d1ifconog65isf0n6mag.mp4
  10. In terms of hype and media exposure or what?
  11. They are close to finishing the HEB off 1604 near Hills and Dales. It’s going to have one of those bbq spots in it
  12. Z tejas is overpriced dog shit. Good riddance
  13. Lol no they won’t. Only one school has ever been ass fucked by a governing body of college athletics and that was SMU. there is no point to go by letter of laws for any school considering the NCAA and everything else is powerless due to litigation
  14. Texas continues to operate by a different rule book by everyone even in this era. We always have ever since the 80s. And for what reason? So some old fucks can feel morally superior why other programs continue to win national titles by cheating and pushing the rule books.
  15. And yet Texas operates like a pussy while others continue to push boundaries.
  16. What’s better 150-200k from a bagman that doesn’t have to go through verification and is straight to pocket or 750k from Texas that gets denied by Datoilet or whatever that 3rd party is
  17. Gerry has already been on record of this line of thinking. Now it seems Bobby is on the line of thinking as well But the guys here said no way it would!
  18. They’re not talking about players leaving for NFL in terms of mass exodus.
  19. Has Ohio state had a mass exodus? Georgia?
  20. There are none now. Who gives a shit…if they say anything just sue.
  21. Bobby The old saying, “Recruiting can change in the blink of an eye” certainly remains appropriate. But in a sign of the times, I think the statement deserves to be updated. Recruiting can change in the blink of a new NIL offer. That’s reality. I’m not bemoaning the existence of NIL by the way. Texas has been the benefactor of NIL as much or more than any team. After all, NIL finally equalized a long thought to be advantage of other less scrupulous teams who historically have been willing to circumvent NCAA rules by paying players under the table. NIL allowed Texas supporters to change the paradigm. And they did, successfully. In fact, I was told yesterday, as the 2024-2025 academic calendar came to a close and every penny had to be paid to athletes, that Texas athletes received more NIL this past year than in any previous year. I am also told that there was a year over year NIL increase in every single sport on campus. The end result? Well, Texas won the Director’s Cup as the nation’s best athletic department. The football team is as talented as it has been in decades, etc. Without question, NIL has been good to Texas athletics. But other teams, like Florida, have strong NIL programs, too. That’s apparently where the rub is today. Yesterday afternoon it became apparent that longtime Texas target and lean Kendall Guervil, a defensive tackle from Fort Myers, Fla., would likely sign with the Gators rather than the Longhorns. An increased NIL offer was cited as the reason. Texas is currently sitting in a unique situation. The Longhorns have an immensely talented and relatively young roster. That roster and the corresponding salary cap is already accounted for in 2025. But GM Brandon Harris and coach Steve Sarkisian must be looking ahead to 2026 and wanting to keep the vast majority of its roster intact. That desire and need to reserve capital for the existing roster can and will limit what the Horns have to spend for class of 2026 recruits. In other words, some schools may just have more gun powder left for recruiting. We’ll see how Texas navigates this in the coming days, weeks and months ahead. my guess is we’re sticking to the “strict salary cap” of revenue sharing and using TOF as “legitmate” NIL only. While teams like Ohio State, Georgia, USC are continuing as normal in addition to the revenue share cap.
