    Sitake to Penn State seems about as good a fit as Brian Kelly to LSU. I just don’t see dropping a Tongan LDS member with all of his experience and recruiting network on the west coast and mountain west into the middle of BFE Pennsylvania working out very well. 


    Regardless, Penn State can be competitive if it has a better NIL network than its competitors. This is doubtful so expect more mediocrity.

    Also, ON3 and Rivals are the same thing now. I don't even know how you got two different listed weights there.

     

    Google gave 1 weight for On3 and the link/click through gave a different weight on Rivals. Anyway, he supposedly will start out at edge and move inside when he reshapes his body. He won't see the field for a couple of years from what I can tell.

    If he’s already bulked up to 281 in high school, I feel pretty confident saying the weight won’t be much of an issue.

     

    Has he though? Gabe Brooks on 06/03/2025 said he weighed 240lbs. On3 has him listed as an edge at 240lbs. Rivals has him listed as a DL at 250lbs. ESPN has him listed as an end at 235lbs. I watched the Temple Reagan game this year where he had 1 sack and 2 tackles and overall didn't make much of an impact. His stats for 2025 were good, though, 68 total tackles, five sacks, six pass-breakups and a forced fumble. Those stats and watching him play scream DT but he seemed to get pushed around too much when I watched him. Anyway, that's why I called him a tweener. Tell me what you see though in the games you watched.

    Isn’t there generally a pretty poor hit rate on OL out of the portal? Apparently it worked out ok for Ohio State, but is that normal? Or is the expectation that some guys who might not otherwise jump into the portal could be encouraged to do so if the right school were interested? 

    Worked out well for Oregon as well as a few other schools.

    I think we have decisions to make at wr also wrt bringing in a transfer and also current roster retention/NIL allocation. 

     

    We have multiple years of Mosley and Wingo should be back. We will either keep Moore, or give him up to Ffrench or Lockett, or give up 2 of those 3 and pick up someone in the portal. Lot's of options and they are all good. 

    Our offense is stacked next year. We just need to improve the O-Line.

    Gerry Hamilton was adamant this week that UT wanted to keep Max Wright in the class.

     

    At what price? Is it pushed out or something else when SMU offers more money and UT isn't willing to match? He was always or should have always been considered a class filler. Personally, I never saw any way that he could see the field here because he was too slow.

    @Gatorubet covered most, but I'd say that Ukraine is getting modern fighters in numbers the Russians can't (along with the munitions for them), 

    That’s debatable. They were promised 100 Grippen but it wasn’t a grant according to the video I posted a few days ago. Ukraine will need to pay for them. Ukraine, however, has worse financials than Russia (again in the video). So, I am a little skeptical whether Ukraine will ever see the full 100. It seems to me to be more of just a letter of intent.

    They've actually come down quite a bit from their peak a year ago. A 5070TI is like $600, down from $950ish, and you can get a 5060 for $250ish and be set for 1080p gaming


    $600 for a 5070TI? That’s not terrible. But for someone who is gaming less and studying more, it’s enough to give me pause. I don’t know what else to get him though. What’s a good amount for a gift certificate to Sugar’s?

    Storage still cheap as fuck. Relative to the bottom its expensive but not relative to 2 years ago. 

    My oldest son had a graphics card fail. Those are not cheap as fuck.

    Yeah. Regarding big humans there should be a binary category on their 247 pages of “could they survive doing a cartwheel.” I’m fine with taking the guys that can. 

     

    Exactly, the problem is not cheap vs expensive, white vs. black, rich vs. poor. The problem is athletic ability. We keep bringing in guys who are slow. We have 4 guys recruited. 2 can move and 2 can't. Those 2 who can't should never see the field, but they probably will because of the numbers. And then we sit there and wonder why we can't run the ball or execute slow developing plays.

    (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.
