    (Eric Nahlin) Texas Recruiting Strategy: Balancing Portal Spending and High School Talent for 2026

     


    That was a stupid article. yeah we need help in the portal but not at the expense of bringing in high school athletes. You have to be able to recruit quality linemen like Banks and not just look for them in the portal. And developmental guys are fine: wright and Scherer should never see the field though: they just aren’t athletic enough. Developmental guys are like the 2nd LSU line commit from MS, Tyreek Jemison from Georgia, Samuel Roseborough from Texas. 
     

    and what the fuck is he saying about Cooper, that we don’t want him? That’s just dumb.

    1. Early last week, I mentioned there was some good recruiting news headed the way of the Longhorns that no one was really talking about at that time.

    Absolutely nothing has changed in that regard; in fact, it was only further solidified yesterday. The only thing that has been fluid is the timeline of the recruit in question.

     

    Carlton is fine - He's big and athletic with decent stats: 54 tackles, 38 solo tackles, 5 sacks, 2 caused fumble, 4.9 tackles per game. 

  3. I think we will need to add 2 starters on the offensive line and a lock down corner. That probably takes up our entire budget. Don’t know about kickers but they are cheap. Linebacker and wide receiver maybe but they are a luxury at positions where we have invested a lot in high school recruits.

    We probably also need to cull the roster a bit to free up money and improve the locker room dynamics.

    Brysten Martinez, OT, Gonzales (La.) East Ascension - *LSU commit
    OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star+
    Where it stands: Texas has their work cut out for them should Lane Kiffin announce he's headed to LSU in a week. But, Texas seemingly has a better shot on the surface with Martinez than Richard Anderson. Made OV with his mom. 

    Kaden Scherer, OT, Georgetown (Texas) High - *Stanford commit
    OnTexasFootball ranking: 3-star++
    Where it stands: This one isn't cut and dry on the flip due to being a Stanford commit. But Texas has true proximity on their side. Made OV with his family. 


    Below, kind of sets a framework for what we should expect as a team over the next 4 years. The staff doesn’t think it is a problem, but I do. We would have 2 spares with Scherer and Wright. We would have an athletic, skilled undersized tackle who will need to move inside for the NFL. And we have a solid interior lineman. That my friends is absolute crap recruiting  for a team that has title aspirations. We have 2 guys for 5 positions as long as neither ever gets injured or misses playing time.

    Can’t wait for Wilcox to join Sark staff and the whole gang is back together partying

     

    You know he almost replaced Will Muschamp at Texas. He will be a DC somewhere next season.

    Trump says US plan to end Ukraine war not 'final offer' for Kyiv

    5 hours ago

    President Donald Trump has said a US plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war is not his "final offer" for Kyiv, after Ukrainian allies voiced concerns over proposals.

     

    Earlier on Saturday, leaders from Europe, Canada and Japan said the plan had elements "essential for a just and lasting peace", but would "require additional work", citing concerns over border changes and caps on Ukraine's army.

    On Sunday, security officials from Britain, France, Germany, the US and Ukraine will meet in Geneva, Switzerland.

    President Volodymyr Zelensky earlier warned Ukraine faced "one of the most difficult moments in our history" over US pressure to accept the plan seen as favourable to Moscow.

    Trump has given Ukraine until 27 November to accept the 28-point plan, while Russia's President Vladimir Putin said it could be the "basis" for a settlement.

    When asked on Saturday whether the current draft plan was his final offer for Ukraine, Trump told reporters at the White House: "No, not my final offer."

    "One way or another we have to get it [the war] ended, so we're working on it," he added.

    US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff will be among those taking part in talks in Geneva on Sunday. National Security Adviser Jonathan Powell will attend on the UK's behalf.

    Saturday's joint statement at the G20 summit in South Africa was signed by the leaders of Canada, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK, Germany and Norway. Two top EU officials were also among the signatories.

    The statement said: "We believe therefore that the draft is a basis which will require additional work. We are ready to engage in order to ensure that a future peace is sustainable. We are clear on the principle that borders must not be changed by force.

    "We are also concerned by the proposed limitations on Ukraine's armed forces, which would leave Ukraine vulnerable to future attack."

    It added: "The implementation of elements relating to the European Union and relating to Nato would need the consent of EU and Nato members respectively".

    UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who is at the G20 summit in Johannesburg, spoke to Zelensky on the phone on Saturday, followed by a call with Trump.

    On the Trump call, a Downing Street spokesman said Sir Keir "relayed the discussions that have been taking place between Coalition of the Willing partners [Ukraine's allies] in attendance at the G20 summit today".

    They added: "The leaders agreed their teams would work together on the 28-point US peace proposal in Geneva tomorrow. They agreed to speak again tomorrow."

    Sir Keir earlier said he was concerned about proposed caps on Ukraine's military in the US plan, saying "it's fundamental that Ukraine has to be able to defend itself if there's a ceasefire".

    The widely leaked US peace plan proposes Ukrainian troops withdraw from the part of the eastern Donetsk region that they currently control, and de facto Russian control of Donetsk, as well as the neighbouring Luhansk region and the southern Crimea peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014.

    The plan also includes freezing the borders of Ukraine's southern Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions along the current battle lines. Both regions are partially occupied by Russia.

    The US draft would also limit Ukraine's military to 600,000 personnel, with European fighter jets stationed in neighbouring Poland.

    Kyiv would receive "reliable security guarantees", the plan says, although no details have been given. The document says "it is expected" that Russia will not invade its neighbours and Nato will not expand further.

    The plan also suggests Russia will be "reintegrated into the global economy", through the lifting of sanctions and by inviting Russia to rejoin the G7 group of the world's most powerful countries - making it the G8 again.

    On Friday, Trump said Zelensky would "have to like" the US proposals, adding otherwise Ukraine and Russia would continue fighting.

    Earlier in the day, the Ukrainian leader addressed the nation with a stark warning that the country "might face a very difficult choice: either losing dignity, or risk losing a key partner".

    "Today is one of the most difficult moments in our history," Zelensky added, pledging to work "constructively" with the Americans on the plan.

    On Saturday, Zelensky announced that his head of office Andriy Yermak would lead Ukraine's negotiating team for future talks on a peace deal, including any that may involve Russia.

    "Our representatives know how to defend Ukraine's national interests and exactly what must be done to prevent Russia from launching a third invasion, another strike against Ukraine," the president said in a video statement posted on social media.

    Kyiv is critically dependent on deliveries of US-made advanced weaponry, including air defence systems to repel deadly Russian air assaults, as well as intelligence provided by Washington.

    Putin on Friday confirmed Moscow had received the US plan - but said it had not been discussed with the Kremlin in detail.

    He added Moscow was willing to "show flexibility" - but was also prepared to fight on.

    Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

    In recent months, Russian troops have been slowly advancing in Ukraine's south-eastern region - despite reported heavy combat casualties.

    Exactly. 
     

    I think most everyone wants him to conquer those and be successful no matter where.

    I think it is hard for some people who don’t like the NFL, or don’t watch it, or don’t think it’s a better job than Texas to accept that a HC may think the NFL is better than ANY college HC job. Including Texas. What we think doesn’t factor into that. Period. There are HCs who believe the NFL is the pinnacle of their profession and what we think doesn’t factor at all. 

    Also, the schedule and lifestyle is easier - recruiting is a year round job and there are few breaks and in the NFL you don’t have to coddle kids who think they are men.

    Couldn't get accepted to the trial, then I think it was released recently but Medicare wouldn't approve "off-label" since it's primary is lung cancer. I took the oral version and it did nothing. I might be getting mixed up with something else though. 


     

    No, that makes sense. No oral version though.

  9. Seribantumab doesn't look great in clinical trials

    Patritumab deruxtecan is further along but I have my doubts 

    Hummingbird Biosciences has some interesting stuff but it is too early stage and for the most part being done outside the US anyway. I think the company is in Singapore.

    It's an nrg1 protein fusion. 

     

    Well, after increasing problems the last few weeks, I got the call yesterday that the extensive liver tumors have started to majorly block liver function and failure is on the way. Unless some miracle happens and they start to shrink my timeline is a few weeks to a few months. 

     

    That sucks. I'm very sorry to hear that news. Stay strong.

    I assume they already tried zenocutuzumab (Bizengri). I can't remember offhand what else is in development, but I'll check it out.

    What Trump doesn’t get is that Europe is not going to let Ukraine fail.  


    I hope this is true. And I hope the US doesn’t try to interfere. You know Russia is trying to splinter European support. My fear is that we will do it better than Russia ever could. Supporting Slovakia and Hungary while sanctioning our long-standing allies could do it.

    He's got a bad habit of not linking articles.

    A quick Google search of the headline led this: https://unn.ua/en/news/high-efficiency-ukrainian-f-16-and-mirage-2000-pilots-neutralized-over-1600-russian-targets

    Yeah, I usually link long articles or at least include the author. Short ones, it depends, but I probably don’t provide the link because I don’t think people really care.
