  1. Yeah I'd take the UT money if it's a guaranteed 6 digits or UDFA/late round. The NFL will still be there next year.
  2. Tex-19

    Bert!

    Warning: may be triggering
  3. I believe @RGBIII said Moore is highly likely returning as of a few weeks ago
  4. Marvin Jones is a head scratcher considering how quiet we've been in the portal. That's pretty much the last position of need imo outside of QB
  5. Gunner Stockton has one throwing speed and it's very entertaining to watch

    Saban was perennially plagued by poor kicking until Will Reichard cam along so I'm not sure I'd take his approach as wisdom on this particular subject
  7. Per ESPN, Bert is 124th in the country in FG% this year at 64%. There are a lot of good kickers with eligibility to go tamper with, many from small programs. The top 20 are all around 90% or better. Fwiw, last year's 83% would be around 40th in the country. Solid but still not irreplaceable.
  8. Seriously. Seems like a good kid but could use a lesson in phone usage. He's already had several cringy social media moments this year (middle fingers, commenting on his own highlights as if he were on a burner, now this)

    What's the deal with Will Stone? Seems like he was pretty highly regarded out of HS and must have more leg strength if he's doing kickoffs
  10. I would like to see Banks go outside the box: 1. Find a shitty MLS player to kick FGs, Brandon Aubrey style 2. Find a 7-footer who does nothing but intimidate and block FGs
  11. Can we get a portal kicker from Austin FC? Seems like that strategy worked out pretty well for Brandon Aubrey and the Cowboys
  12. Good TE coach, time to take away special teams. Beat by another fake punt, extended a drive with a running into the punter penalty. On field coach limits are gone next year right? Go hire a standalone ST Coordinator
  13. I doubt 6 mil but I would not be surprised at all if Quinn can make more in college next year than NFL. A Day 2 pick earns between 5-10M over 4 years. Assuming Quinn is late 2nd or 3rd, that's only like $1.5m per year and probably not a ton of endorsements either. Meanwhile $3-4mil in college wouldn't shock me. But transferring could risk his future NFL status big time. And on a personal level, probably not too appealing to move to a new school, new teammates, etc just for one year while postponing the NFL dream. Not an easy decision
  14. I'd think it's Dante Moore time there. Maybe Larry Ellison wants a one year stopgap at Mich. Miami, Bama, ND might need QBs but that's a lot of cheds.
  15. 6 mil for one year? That sounds like bs.
  16. Bold strategy Cotton. I mean, which good players in the portal are even still available? Maybe Branch and Squirrel? The ISU DT? I'm usually trust the corches but it feels like they're really gambling with this year's portal approach
  17. Soo..the Brocks fucked?
  18. Nice, I didn't know Williams was that far along already. For some reason thought he had a torn ACL. I assume this means he'll be full-go by summer at least. Based on history I also wouldn't be surprised to see a veteran rotation CB brought in like Holmes or Cole. They seem to like having a solid 4-5 person rotation there and I haven't seen anything to indicate that exists for next year as of now. Right now I guess it's MM, Guilbeau, Black (who's been just OK), and others who haven't played any meaningful snaps. Other than DT, WR if Golden leaves, and maybe S if Taaffe leaves, I don't see much need for big headliner type of guys at any position BUT I would like to see a few depth additions similar to Brad Spence at CB, S, maybe WR and TE.
  19. So with Singleton and most of the other big WRs off the board, who is still available besides Branch? Odd that Dane Key doesn't seem to be in consideration
  20. Love this. Less Oregon competition for other DTs
  21. fwiw, looks like a lot of Clemson players are posting "Thank You Clemson" so I don't think it necessarily means portal. Now, clearly the 9.95ers think they know something with Woods but I don't think that tweet means anything.
  22. Gotta be tough to make portal WR plans without knowing what Golden is going to do. If you can get him to come back, problem solved but also not as much money to go after a big name. If he goes pro, WR is a major need. #playoffproblems
  23. Any idea how the House settlement / revenue sharing is impacting the portal market? I wonder if teams are making offers under the assumption they'll have that money even though it isn't official yet
  24. Damn, Auburn and Tech taking two of the bigger portal targets? Didn't see that coming
