  1. Inside Texas dives into the latest from five-stars Ryan Wingo, Dominick McKinley, Terry Bussey, Tre Johnson, and more in the recruiting Humidor.

    Ryan Wingo, WR, St. Louis (Mo.) St. Louis University

    The On3 Industry Ranking five-star and Texas continue to connect multiple occasions per week. Steve Sarkisian and Chris Jackson are big in this recruitment and are making Wingo feel wanted and needed.

    He’ll be in Austin for the Texas-Wyoming game on September 16th and will visit Tennessee on September 30th.

    Wingo has said he’d prefer deciding in mid December, but too many indicators point at a decision in season.

    Dominick McKinley, DL, Lafayette (La.) Acadiana 

    The On3 Industry Ranking five-star began his 2023 season last night. 

    The 6-foot-5, 300-pounder is set to announce on September 1st. He’ll chose between Texas, LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M. Word coming out of Lafayette last night was that Texas and Texas A&M could have the best shot a week out from an announcement. McKinley really likes Larry Johnson at Ohio State, but the distance is a factor. 

    Texas continues to have productive conversations with the Pelican State product. McKinley and his family have spoken with Steve Sarkisian and Bo Davis multiple time this week, whether via phone call or texts. 

    Terry Bussey, ATH, Timpson (Texas) 

    While On3’s No. 2 athlete in the class of 2024 still recovers from his off-season knee surgery, he’s looking at a number of visits before his announcement on September 28th. 

    He’ll be at Oklahoma next weekend, then Tuscaloosa on September 9th for the Alabama-Texas game. That weekend looms large. 

    Bussey tells Inside Texas he could be visiting Austin for the Texas-Wyoming game on September 16th, or he could be at LSU. 

    The one school to watch is Texas A&M. He still hasn’t taken an official visit there, but we could see that happen in October.

    I happened to see this little blurb on ESPN today and Jimbo said what he learned after going 5-7. 

    His answer was "I learned that we were 6 inches short. Our losses were one possession games and we had 1 play in each game that we missed by an inch and it costs us the game."

    Holy. Fucking. Shit. This is how I know they are doomed to the wilderness for the next decade. Also.. that's what she said.

     

    He's not wrong but this also applies to a lot of teams that go 5-7, such as 2021 Texas, and I don't think any of us would defend that year's team as anything other than dogshit.

  3. It will be interesting, because their collective is probably shit but like the McKernans or Maruccis or Hollingsworths or whoever have been the big donors for the bags before probably won't want to do a whole salary, year in, year out (baseball seems like an exception?)

    Hospital funds . Seriously , they took hospital funds .

     

    Lousiana is a broke ass state , and their fans have no idea what NIL is going to do to them 

    Louisiana the state may be broke, but there are plenty of rich individuals that'll boost sports. That's the case for most of the Southeast.

    Also I'd be willing to bet that if they funneled hospital funds through a hospital for a guard, they've done worse for like, Ryan Perriloux. My high school basketball coach's Dad was his lawyer when he kept getting in legal trouble and Nathan Fisher wasn't cheap. Nathan would also bring Perriloux to our games for some reason. Dude was swagged out in some pretty nice clothes that I don't think he bought in Reserve.

    Jesus fucking christ man. I'm not going to neg you, but for like the dozenth time in the last week to various posters, let me be fucking clear to you and everyone else on the board:

    NO ONE IS EVER GOING TO GIVE ANYONE HERE OR ELSEWHERE DETAILS ABOUT A PLAYER'S FUCKING DEALS. NO ONE IS EVER GOING TO GIVE DETAILS ABOUT JACK SHIT. 
     

    If you had a fucking A to B financial relationship with someone, like say a banker, and they fucking spilled the details of your financials and compensation for the world how the FUCK would you feel about it? How the fuck would the player and his family feel about that happening? How the fuck would that influence recruiting to Texas moving forward? How is this not COMPLETELY common sense to every single person on this board? Jesus fucking Christ, it's like I'm playing card's with my fucking sister's kids. 

    Stop asking. You don't have a right to know shit. 

    Noted! Was merely asking for the hypothetical mechanics of such things, and not for any specific details here.

    What a bitch.

     

    Also - Spiegelman just updated his RPM to Texas.

    "It's not about straight up recruiting" coming from an LSU guy is very funny to me. Jai Eugene called Lloyd Carr after flipping from Michigan to LSU in 2007 and told him that he wanted to go to Michigan but that LSU offered his family too much money to pass up. It was reported in the Advocate (Baton Rouge paper).

    It means their vaunted "Market leading NIL Initiative" which awarded loyalty points for NIL donations is now dead in the fucking water. Wonderful. 

    Is it dead because of lack of money or potential legal troubles (or some more hilarious reason)
