Keeping a guy you don’t really like just because numbers are low at a position is a poor way to operate (if that is how Texas felt).

We'll see who they get to replace him in the portal before I call it the right decision. They cut bait with several "returning starters" in the secondary after 2023 and it paid off in a big way. Returning production means very little if it was mostly bad production.

Lefau graded out as the 46th out of 59 SEC LBs with at least 90 snaps this season. His best games seemed to be the first one and the last one. The 10 in-between were pretty meh.

Baugh non-update from Nahlin Given the hiring of Jabbar Juluke from Florida, we're following the intentions of running back Jadan Baugh with a bit more interest than a week ago. Could he really enter the portal? Here's the latest. The stud Florida running back is well aware of Texas' interest in should he elect to test his market value. Florida's main issue right now, and the hold up—it has yet to name a replacement for Juluke. Candidates include Tim Harris, Derrick Nix, and Chad Scott. Tim Harris is currently the receivers coach at Florida State but has served as running backs coach at previous stops, including Miami, UCF, and FIU. Derrick Nix is currently at Auburn but made his name at Ole Miss where he was both running backs and wide receivers coach. Florida already hired Marcus Davis from Auburn to coach wide receivers. Chad Scott, well, you know Chad Scott. He was at West Virginia for a while before serving as Texas' running backs coach this past year. He was fired because, as best we can tell, Juluke was made available. I must say, this is interesting. Jabbar Juluke not only has the relationship with Baugh, he also has the best resume at the position. I was expecting to hear the Baugh affair would be wrapped up for Florida today or tomorrow. Instead I heard this. My source has been adamant Baugh would remain in Florida but admitted to being a little less certain today. Speculate away!

I have a really tough time seeing Lagway at LSU. Lagway has more INTs than TDs against P4 opponents. And it wasn't like that Florida offense was lacking talent. He also isn't much of a runner and is hurt every other game. That doesn't really add up to someone Lane Kiffin would be chasing.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Malakai Lee: The Hawaiian native and Michigan signee is looking at getting out of his LOI, source tells IT. Lee wants to see who Michigan might hire over the next few weeks, but the source indicated he’s trending on his release. Texas would certainly have interest and we continue to check all angles in this recruitment.

IT with the likelihood a handful of players return Potential Transfer Players WR DeAndre Moore: IT thinks it’s likely the junior receiver will test his best financial option, whether that’s through the portal or the NFL Draft. This would be one of those tough choices for Sark, as Moore is held in a favorable light within the program. Percentage: 20% OL Connor Robertson: After finally getting real playing time, we’ve wondered if he’ll give up the sport or come back for one more season. After the A&M win, he looked somewhat satisfied with the way the year played out. We think Texas is working to keep him, however. Percentage: 40% OL Nate Kibble: IT had heard the young guard would test his options in the portal, but the staff has done a great job of explaining the big picture to him. He is in their plans. Percentage: 85% Edge Colton Vasek: There’s been a lot of talk about the local Edge entering the portal, but he is still practicing. Does that have something to do with Ethan Burke not playing? That gives him the chance for more snaps and perhaps to increase his transfer value. Or is he simply staying? I have not received great recent intel on his intentions. He’s a talented player but snakebitten when it comes to injuries. Percentage: 50% CB Kobe Black: The A&M game and thinning of the depth chart has Black’s return on a good trend line. Percentage: 85% CB Wardell Mack: The fact he’s still practicing gives Texas a chance to keep him, I suppose, but a coaching change, at minimum, likely needs to happen to have a chance. I hope he sticks because they’ve invested a lot of time in preparing him for Star/nickel. Percentage: 25% There could be more players in question, but these are the ones we’re focused on. I don’t have a great feel for the tight ends. We’ve heard Will Randle will transfer, but everything else has been quiet. Potential NFL Players OL Trevor Goosby: Texas has been preparing to keep Goosby all season. Everyone knows the importance of securing Manning’s blindside for next season and Goosby stands to benefit substantially from another year. He’s still a young guy. Percentage: 70% DT Hero Kanu: He’s made strong relationships in his short time at Texas and played well in his first year. Texas has a great selling point of developing older D-tackles and improving their draft slot. That is resonating. Percentage: 75% S Jelani McDonald: He understands if he returns he can be the first safety off the board in the 2027 NFL Draft. Texas knows getting him back is imperative. This one makes too much sense for both parties. Percentage: 75%

IT with the likelihood a few coaches return WR Chris Jackson: Jackson’s contract is up at the end of this season, and we’ve heard of no attempts to re-sign him. That doesn’t mean it isn’t happening or will happen in the coming weeks, but it’s a bit odd we’re at this point. It seems to foreshadow a coaching change. Percentage: 25% OL Kyle Flood: You can stop scrolling now. With Texas bringing in a new running backs coach, and likely a new wide receivers coach, will Sark make a change on the offensive line? That’s a pretty big reset ahead of a massive season. While we’ve heard of Flood’s agents putting feelers out in a couple of cases, our most recent information, largely based on connecting portal “dots,” makes it seem like he’ll be back. Percentage: 60% S Duane Akina: We hear he’s going to be replaced and options are being researched. It makes zero sense for him to return. Percentage: 10%

Texas at UCONN- 7pm on FOX
I’ll hold out hope that the SEC taking a small step back from last year overall will keep us in the fight the next few months but my confidence is low. I like what Miller is doing in recruiting and we really do look better coached (low bar I know), but just hope this year doesn’t burn up too much goodwill.

I don't think Williams was ever getting feedback this high. He also had the knee injury during the draft process and seemed more raw than Goosby. Isn't this supposed to be a weaker OT draft class?

IT posted some more portal/NFL notes: -Nate Kibble and Kobe Black are expected to stay -Colton Vasek was leaning towards leaving but now they consider it a toss up -Still believe Kanu, Endries and McDonald are likely to return - No more departures expected in the safety room aside from Derek Williams -"On Wardell Mack, Texas thinks he’ll stay. I stand by my reporting by saying that hasn’t been the plan, but things could change with him having a clearly defined role and a change in leadership in that room."

Cross posting from the bowl game thread: Nahlin reporting Hill, Trey Moore, Guilbeau, Burke, Muhammad and Taaffe are all opting out of the bowl game. Everyone else is currently practicing and expected to play, including Kanu, McDonald, Endries and Goosby. Said that doesn’t mean they are locks to return but it is a positive data point. DeAndre Moore is nursing a minor injury but is also expected to play.

Most hires are going to be guys a coach has worked with previously or has a connection to. If it's not one of those two, it's a recommendation from someone they trust (Banks recommending Chris Jackson since they played together, etc.)

Poster on their 247 board: I've got it in pretty good authority that Nansen wants the job, and is talking to former players about joining him on staff. That's directly from one of the coaches Nansen is gauging interest in joining him in Pullman.

FCB with a few portal/roster notes -Texas wants Connor Robertson to return, but Robertson knows they are about to load up in the portal at OL so he is unsure what he wants to do for his final year. -"It might be unlikely for both Kobe Black and Warren Roberson to return. I'm hearing Black, who is coming off of a strong performance against Texas A&M, which included an interception, is leaning toward returning as long as his exit meeting with coaches goes well." -Wisner is leaning towards returning -Gibson did not like Chad Scott. One of the reasons he left the program midseason.

Guilbeau opting out of the bowl game, unless he is hurt, reminds me of when Brennan Eagles opted out of the 2020 Alamo Bowl to "declare for the NFL draft". What type of advice are these kids getting? - 2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
