  1. Gerry said another recruit told him Lee was there so he reported it.
  2. IT mod put in a flip pick for Jamarion Carlton to the good guys. Was at the game again tonight.
  3. No. Derek Cooper committed to Texas a month after we weren’t in his top 5 because of the academics.
  4. Gerry said later in the thread it is straight NIL
  5. 10 point leads with 20 minutes to go against ranked opponents usually don’t go easy
  6. Also an obvious offensive foul.
  7. There are a lot of great coaches who didn’t have good first years at their new schools, even in the portal era. I see some big picture signs that give me hope (recruiting, an actual system being implemented), even if the wins don’t come in bunches this year. Crazy thing to do after 7 games of a tenure but I’ll give him some time to untangle this thing. There weren’t exactly a lot of great things going for the program when he took over.
  8. IT said Jamarion Carlton might be back on campus again on Friday. Seems like that is trending nicely.
  9. Traore and Codie have been the biggest negatives for me so far this season. Traore is basically Ze’Rik Onyema with a few more rebounds and Codie can’t protect the basketball, defend or score outside of dunks.
  10. Eddie said he didn’t expect Ketch to pay up, he just bumped the tweet where Ketch offered the bet as a joke and to basically embarrass him. Then Ketch of course took it to another level and made a fool of himself.
  11. We would be favored over both on a neutral field. What about BYU’s season should scare opposing teams? They also have a QB who wears #47.
  12. If a 9-3 team with 3 top 10 wins doesn’t get in, I’d like to see the 9-3 resume that does get in once it eventually happens.
  13. Texas apparently has to go 3-2 vs 5 top 10 teams to make the playoff and have zero slip ups elsewhere. Meanwhile all Texas Tech has to do is go 2-1 against Utah, BYU and Arizona State and that is good enough to be ranked 7th. All Oregon has to do is split home games against Indiana and USC and is rewarded with a top 10 ranking. What a great system we have in this sport. OU plays Michigan out of conference and defeats Alabama on the road but gets ranked behind Texas Tech and their impressive non conference schedule of Kent State, Oregon State and Arkansas pine bluff.
  14. SEC bigs are going to have him on the bench early and often. It’s a huge concern with him. He was one of the most frequent foulers in the country last year playing in the AAC.
  15. Someone last week on a 9.95 site posted a list of recruits outside the top 1000 we’ve signed the last 10 years or so. A few more success stories than I would have thought. OL Devin Coleman RB/WR Savion Red OL Max Merril LB Jaylan Ford DL Sawyer Goram-Welch OL Sam Cosmi QB Matthew Merrick DE Breckyn Hager RB D'onta Foreman OL Elijah Rodriguez OL Alex Anderson
  16. Update from IT on 2026 guys Inside Texas delivers the latest from last weekend’s official visitors and where the 2026 class sits weeks from NSD in Monday’s Scoop. Richard Anderson, DL, New Orleans (La.) Edna Karr – LSU commit Catching up with sources, it appears the Longhorns shot their shot with the five-star LSU pledge. Anderson enjoyed the trip, interacting with coaches and staff, and seeing the game atmosphere. I’m told Anderson is likely waiting to see who LSU hires as its new head coach before making any decisions. With National Signing Day looming, this recruitment is one to monitor closely. Brysten Martinez, OT, Gonzalez (La.) East Ascension – LSU commit Martinez and his mother thoroughly enjoyed their Austin trip, sources tell IT. But this is a complicated recruitment in that there are different factors on and off the field. His proximity to Baton Rouge isn’t as his important as proximity to his family. I’m told if Martinez did flip, there’s a good chance some of his family might move to Austin too. Right now, its LSU or Texas. And the Horns continue to recruit and evaluate the Uber athletic four-star OT. Kaden Scherer, OT, Georgetown (Texas) – Stanford commit I like Texas’ chances of flipping the Cen-Tex three-star. He told Inside Texas we could see a decision over the next few days. Rocky Cummings, LB, Carlsbad (Calif.) – Cal commit I love the chances of flipping the Cal three-star LB commit. We expect a decision on Wednesday for the West coast senior riser. He’d be an excellent floor joining Tyler Atkinson and Kosi Okpala. Josiah Vilmael, DB, Richmond (Texas) Fort Bend Travis Texas really likes the Fort Bend product, who took his official visit to UT this weekend, but we believe they want to see Toray Davis before waving anyone in. Toray Davis, CB, Boulder (Colo.) Fairview – UCLA commit Davis rescheduled his official visit to Austin for this weekend for the Texas A&M game. We can see Texas taking one of Davis or Vilmael.
  17. A quick google search brings up these 2026 schedules Vandy: NC State, Austin Peay, Delaware Missouri: Arkansas Pine Bluff, Troy, Kansas Auburn: Baylor, Southern Miss, Jacksonville State Ole Miss: Charlotte and Wofford (don’t have a third team scheduled yet) Miss State: ULM, Minnesota, Troy
  18. West Coast recruiting guy for On3 on Rocky Cummings Great visit for Cummings and safe to say Texas is in a VERY good spot. He still needs to talk with Cal coaches and wants to wait until after his Championship game on Tuesday to put anything out so look for an announcement from him sometime Wednesday.
  19. You are giving the committee too much credit in how deep they actually analyze this stuff.
  20. Is Alabama going to get in at 10-2 with a loss just as bad as Texas’? If the answer is yes, then don’t blame the Florida loss for Texas not getting in at 9-3.
  21. There seems to be this assumption that every team in the playoff must be a quality team. We watched the lower seeded teams get the crap kicked out of them last year. In a 12 team playoff, you are still going to have only 4-5 teams who actually have a realistic shot at winning the title. Will be same if they expand to 16. No #11 or #12 seed “deserves” to be in the playoff. They are ranked in that range for a reason.
