  1. How many NIL promises were made this winter under the assumption football would be getting the bulk of rev share? If this holds up, some schools are gonna be so fucked
  2. What do we think about the two PSU WRs in the portal, Omari Evans and Harrison Wallace? Yeah I know they struggled vs ND but decent overall production in the Big 10 on an iffy passing offense.
  3. I think Mark Cuban has a kid at UT. He likes sports.
  4. The QB who brought Texas BACK
  5. Wouldn't it be nice to have a donor whose funds were dedicated to revenge tampering lol? Like if tOSU tampers MM away, we go offer Downs a big deal. Assuming they match, you offer Jeremiah Smith a big deal. And keep going down the list to make them feel some pain. Even if you don't get anyone from them, just make them pay a little extra for their own retention. Maybe that keeps them from tampering with us as much in the future.
  6. Speedster from Killeen. 19 yards per catch this year. Go get him Sark
  7. Important to remember that every departure theoretically frees up budget money to be used elsewhere. So these "losses" may end up being more like trades for other portal prospects TBD. The unfortunate part is that we're so late to the winter portal party bc of the playoffs that no one is really available until spring.
  8. I don't know if that was his plan but making a playoff run complicated things. Until now he didn't know who would be staying/leaving and how much they'd cost. Now the winter portal is closed and the good players are taken so there isn't really a choice. If not for playoff timing, I think it would be dumb to focus on spring portal. You want guys here for spring practice.
  9. IT reporting they expect Cam to go pro
  10. Wow that's saying a lot coming from one of the biggest mainstream draft guys
  11. MM's cousin got an Oregon bag and MM has been openly talking about getting paid for a while now. He's gotta be one of the concerns. Hopefully it's not too late to get back in on Thaddeus Dixon (UW CB). Has Tacario signed? Simmons was my other biggest worry but hopefully IT is right about him being locked in.
  12. and Muhammad. Simmons and Hill probably worry me the most. Obv Arch but I doubt he leaves.
  13. He was the odds-on favorite at Betonline earlier today. Now he's been slightly passed by...wait for it..Jason Witten LOL Kellen seems like a sensible choice though actually
  14. This thread is such a beating that no one even bothered to ask or tell what this actual transfer update says
  15. What are the chances of Jerry convincing Belichick to ditch UNC?
  16. Also they tried to get tricky doing a rush up to the line and immediate snap. QB sneak/push is a skill and Arch needs to develop it but I agree it needs to be used more. It should be an automatic 1-2 yards with him. Idk how you practice that though if the QB can't get touched. The between the legs direct snap is a great way to keep defenses a little honest for it too.
  17. Kliff is a TX guy who probably grew up a Cowboys fan. It'd be real hard for him to turn down head coach of the Dallas Cowboys with an established franchise QB and WR.
  18. Idk what it says bc paywall but Bobby has an update on OTF, maybe that's where
  19. I know this doesn't really mean anything but Bovada has Deion at EVEN odds for the Cowboys job rn LOL (Joe Brady and Ben Johnson next closest fwiw)
  20. I'm not saying to design a bunch of run plays for him. I'm talking old school QB sneaks with 1 yard to go. Even his slow ass uncles did those.
  21. It's a balance for sure. If you take too many, the young guys won't get enough reps to develop, so then you can get into a cycle of portal reliance at a position. Sorta like DT right now (although that was probably more of a HS recruiting issue). On the other hand, again, you don't want to be dependent on a true freshman immediately stepping in, or even someone like Butler/Livingstone who hasn't faced live fire in college and who must not be good enough yet to get snaps (you never know how fast they'll develop). So yeah, 1 or 2 would be the smart move imo and that still give you plenty of reps for the youngsters. If a youngster breaks through, then awesome, there's a good chance you'll need them anyway with injuries.
  22. A freshman WR can be good but that is an exception for rare talents like Smith, Ryan Williams, etc. Imo you should almost never be counting on a true freshman to be a difference maker at any position. It's just a big gamble. As a coach, would you really want to roll the dice on the Arch era by counting on a WR who's never played a college snap? Especially when the other two sure-fire starters are young and somewhat unproven themselves. And then you have to consider the possibility of injuries. If Wingo or Moore go down, that room is extremely green. I'm not saying we need 3 transfers (I thought that was overkill last year) but I do think 1 proven starter would be prudent assuming Bond and Golden leave, which appears to be the case.
  23. Random question but how do QBs work on QB sneaks if they can't get touched in practice? Tush push with Arch should be an absolute slam dunk in short yardage next year but QB sneaks are a skill that he probably needs to develop. The between the legs direct snap is a great counter to keep defenses honest too. Also, agree with others that he seems to need some work on not fumbling.
