Hahahaha. Where the fuck did this come from? Whoever wrote that couldn’t be more full of shit.
The 4 candidates include: a dude that Sarkisian fired, a mormon lifer that may have never left Utah were it not for games being played in other states, and 2 playcalling DCs. Right.

Who is going to pay anything for a guy coming off knee surgery that hasn't shown he is healthy or has any of the explosiveness that made him a five star?
Sounds like just the kind of guy A&M would pay top dollar for!

Well I’m sure before he is offered the OC position that texag will contact c-weg and ask him about c-kle and his thoughts.
Don't forget about checking in with "c-doc" also - you know, wiggy's concussion doctor

Yeah. Which shitty sub-.500 Big 10 team got left out. Talk about pitiful bitching.
Go lose in the NIT losers.
I'll have you know that the mighty Texas A&M Aggies are in the SEC, sir.

Can we go ahead and update this thread title to "NIL Recruiting News - Watching BO&W Repeatedly Step on Rakes" ?

Title IX is another reason this will never work and why a break away is more likely
So you think Title IX is an NCAA rule that would be optional if the conferences broke away?

Would y’all pay $300 for the Russell’s 13?
Also, Colonel Taylor Small Batch for $120. 🥲
EHT Small Batch usually goes for around $80 on Facebook.
RR13 can be found for $250, depending on which batch. Batch 1 is going to be higher.- 1

Maybe somebody should ask Juice Wells to invite Nyckoles Harbor to join him in the portal. He'd be amazing sliding into that JT Sanders role.

No. They’ve been very clear since the very start that they would factor in injuries to key players when making their decision. If FSU had destroyed Louisville 59-0 like tOSU did to Wisconsin in 2014, and if Texas had struggled with Okie State (or hadn’t even played in a CCG the way Baylor and TCU didn’t in ‘14), then FSU would’ve gotten in. But that’s not what happened. Louisville played a dreadful game and FSU still only scraped by. The 3rd string FSU QB played like hot garbage. The result of the SEC CCG didn’t matter, the winner was getting in based on either an undefeated season and #1 ranking for UGA or a 1-loss champion Bama who beat the #1 team. FSU played their way out. I think Texas was in even if their CCG win had been less decisive. (And as I said before was never ever going to get passed over by a 1-loss non-champ.)
It wasn’t a hard decision and the committee got it right. It sucks for FSU but they should’ve known it was going take extraordinary circumstances to keep their playoff hopes alive after they lost Jordan Travis. It shouldn’t have come as that much of a surprise. Maybe if they hadn’t also lost their 2nd string QB to injury then they would’ve made it in. But they did so they didn’t. Brock Glenn is no Cardale Jones.
Also, FUCK MICHIGAN!
Your problem is that you believe everything they've said about their selection criteria. There's no reason to take anything they say at face value.
They were always going to admit the SEC champ. It became extremely inconvenient that it was Bama, because there was no way they'd be able to put Bama ahead Texas. So they had to move both of them in front of FSU. If it had been Georgia, then FSU would have been admitted and Texas would have been left out.
The Jordan Travis injury just became a convenient excuse.

The funny part of all of this is we were getting in no matter what happened on Saturday (with a Texas win of course).
We didn't need a Georgia L or a FSU L.
I disagree. If Bama had lost, they would have had
1. Georgia
2. Michigan
3. Washington
4. Texas / FSU
It would have been way easer to justify leaving out a 1 loss Texas vs a 0 loss FSU, and I think they would have done so.
However, since Bama won - they had to decide whether or not to leave out the SEC champ that just beat Georgia, which was a much harder proposition.- 4

There's a better chance Sark hires Mike Stoops
Never heard what he did, just saw the chatter recently that he was hoping to get back on.

Marcus Majors and Daylan Smothers in the portal from the OU RB room. sounds like Majors was expected, Smothers was less so.
edit: missed the third guy
i mean it's just because of the COVID year
plus he can go earn more on a NIL deal than he probably earns year 1 out of college anyway. good for him in this situation

Seriously. We need to get a giant pool of assistant coach money, and give half to Tashard Choice and the other half for Demarco Murray to stay at Oklahoma.

He/his dad reached out to Deion last spring about him transferring over, since he'd looked at Jackson State during his recruitment. Allegedly there was a tepid response about competing for playing time and no NIL so Taylor stayed put and collected his money.
There's going to be some pain for Texas in the portal this cycle, but Texas should also win again on a net basis from the portal. There is a lot of interest coming UT's way across the board.
I would expect Texas to lose, to the portal:
1 QB
1 TE
2 WR
4 OL (SGW, Merril, Kirkland, Cajoe are the most likely for varying reasons. They do not want to lose, but may lose, several other back-ups if there's NIL craziness. The only way Cam Williams is leaving is for a giant pile of cash from another major P5 that Texas simply cannot match or doesn't want to match.)
2 DT
2 DE
2 CB/Star
2 S
I would expect Texas to take, from the portal:
1 TE
3 WR (they are looking at cream of the crop stuff here, and they may decide to be picky and take 1-2 and see what happens this spring)
1 DL
1 LB
1-2 DB (they will take elite DBs only, and apparently Korie Black qualifies)
Texas is going to sign 23-25 HS players. So if they're losing 15-20 in the portal and 15-20 to draft plus graduation, that would have them net zero to net down 9 max. If they're going beyond potential net down 3-4, I assume they're making that up in the portal.
There are roughly, supposedly, 15 guys on the roster that they'd be fine losing, although not necessarily being aggressive with that many.
I expect there to be 3-4 transfer announcements shortly and then a relative trickle until the playoffs are over. There are going to be a few guys who, as soon as they've met with Sarkisian, are going to feel like they need to get the fuck out and get a landing spot somewhere quickly. That will outweigh the desire to be a part of a playoff team. I'll be shocked if it is more than 5 guys and the same if it is like 0-1. We will all know a lot more over the next 36 hours regarding transfers out since the guys they're the most bullish on not being a part of the program going forward will be met with quickly, immediately following anyone, if there is anyone, who they view as a real flight risk ahead of the playoffs that they do not want to lose.
One caveat to all of this is that no one knows to what extent the culture being created, and the opportunities being presented, puts both a lid on guys leaving and the quality of the guys they can bring in. Everyone is assuming some pain on the portal side related to NIL expectations in the market, and the unknown aspects of the depth and breadth of that, and whether or not Texas can handle it. There's a legit chance the program can happily play inside of all of these numbers, but no one is preparing for the best case scenario.
Are the coaches entertaining the idea of allowing Kris Ross back on the team, or is he persona non grata at this point?
