Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

I played against Anderson in HS. We scrimmaged them every year before game one. He covered me when we were seniors. I assumed he’d have done well at CU, but I don’t remember seeing him play much. Good shit talker on the field though. -

You’re really into that Spiegelman update, aren’t you? I’m not ready to be hurt again. -

South Carolina is going to start out ranked and close the season as a dumpster fire. Should be interesting to see how it shakes out for them with that in mind. Sellers basically lost all of his surrounding help and it’s even worse for Stewart on the defensive side. -
I’m traveling but can try to help. If someone wants to post a concise list of questions, we can get them answered. Don’t be a fucking idiot and ask anyone to predict the future. If there’s a basic couple of things that need clarity, they can get answered and we can post them. Maybe @RGBIII can help out if he’s not as out of pocket as me for the next week.

I went Rage rather than Neg. I’m not seeing a path to top 5 at this point. -

I assume he’s going to OU. Kind of crazy that Florida isn’t in the final 3 since many thought they were neck and neck with OU. -

At WR, they're having to account for retaining: Wingo, Lockett, Ffrench, Terry, McCutcheon, and Mosley for the 2026 season. They have 3 WRs that they like already in the fold. If McJaggerson, Niblett, Butler, any, some or all, also turn out to truly be contributors, that's 1-3 more guys on the payroll. Paying a premium for a 4th guy who is very, very unlikely to contribute as a freshman with that lot in front of them, just doesn't make any sense. I see the logic with putting a defensible offer forward and standing on it. If a legacy can't make that work because they need to grab another $500k elsewhere, fuck'em and move on. Honestly, I'm not sure putting as much of a commitment on the last cycle's signees at WR makes a ton of sense either, but they got into a feeding frenzy. Another thing of note is that Moore, McJaggerson, and McCutcheon were the cheapest guys signed in each cycle. We know Moore is a starter who was a big contributor last year. We all know we're being told that Jaggy is about to be a surprise contributor. The staff is telling everyone who will listen that McCutcheon is the most likely freshman to play and contribute early at this point. It's just not clear right now that focusing massive NIL is smart at the HS WR recruit level. I don't think it can be said that is stupid to do so, either. I am glad we were aggressive with Wingo and the haul from last year, of course. Still, I am sure the assessment of this strategy is ongoing. -
I took the wife and kids last night to see this. Not a racing fan, and neither is anyone else in my family, but I heard good things and my wife likes Brad Pitt, so, in. I thought it was a lot of fun. I had zero expectations, so maybe that was key, but I enjoyed it and so did everyone else. I know it was 2.5 hours, but it held the attention of my kids for that period of time and that isn't easy to do. Would recommend.

Texas A&M Recruiting 2026: The World's Drunkest Elk

From last year's recruiting thread. @bizzle had them at 9-3. It reads like most of us were thinking in the 7-5/8-4 range but a lot you guys were convincing yourselves of ATM beating ND to open the season. -

I think I am going to start an ATM 2025 football season thread on the football board in a similar manner to what I posted for OU. The current cycle recruiting thread doesn't make great sense for such and then the meta thread on the football board isn't great for that either. I say this because it's a pain in the ass to go back and find what we were saying about them before last season, much less the seasons before that one. Penn State had a public conniption fit about Pribula leaving during the playoffs. You can google that. Some of it was about the current state of being the middle of the playoffs, some of it was about not wanting to lose Pribula's talent. Missouri does a good job of evaluating talent and managing the portal. They scouted and chose Pribula. So, they like him. I assume Missouri goes something like 8-5 or 9-4 because they're not great and they have an easy schedule. I also assume they're good enough to beat ATM on the road, given that I think ATM is mediocre team this year and they're pussies on the road, historically and lately. -

Given how deep Texas is in the secondary, the Matthews recruitment just has a feeling akin to the WR position this cycle. What I mean is that SCar will be more desperate to sign the guy than Texas, they’ll bump up their offer into a range in which Texas has to change theirs, and Texas chooses to stand pat. Then, suddenly, darn it, no Matthews to Texas.
