  1. Bubba Chandler is really fucking good and his ranking is a victim of lack of camp evals and preference for baseball. As a RHP/SS, he's mocked to go first round in the July draft and won't likely make it to Clemson. Great eval by Dabo.
  2. Especially if we land guard x. Experienced depth there would be nice for a change and upgrading one of Ramey/Jones puts you in the top 5 conversation, imo.
  3. They only need an injection of Rodney Vincent's patented "burning desire" to get over the Brock hump.
  4. The states are allowing basically anything so far, but the NCAA is hopelessly appealing to the supreme court/congress to restrict the states. Once the SCOTUS ruling is handed down, expect the NCAA to pass restrictions greater than the current, which is pretty toothless and generic. What likely happens is a monetary cap on the engagement type. So, (these are arbitrary) max 1k for a Twitter post, 10k for autograph signing, 25k for a commercial, etc. The engagements themselves, or "proof of work" will be a big component to avoid 300k for showing up on campus. The stars will reap the most benefit from the Texas brand. For example, those Capital One mascot commercials would almost certainly be full of athletes if created this upcoming season. Something like 12 mascots were apart of the commercial, including Texas, consisting of the most prominent national brands. This is the lucrative opportunity. Additionally, without a pro sports team in Austin, the visibility of the brand and ease of contracting players will create more demand for engagements than...say...Miami where they'll be competing with an NFL and MLB team (Marlins and Dolphins also using opendorse). If we wanted to play by the letter of current law, the pitch to recruits is to piggyback your personal brand on the most lucrative brand in college sports. In addition to very lucrative opportunities to use your NIL thanks to the Texas brand, a steady flow of engagement opportunities will be available to you that would not be available in smaller or more crowded markets. While Georgia is pushing a lump sum payday, Texas can push a wealth building strategy. I think the market will ultimately do a lot of the heavy lifting in providing these opportunities, but there's a place for small business owners and fans as well. Then the bag is a tool, not an obstruction.
  5. Hoooooly shit. This really will be the wild west. Anyone can book anyone for anything. This is the first I've seen this https://opendorse.com/solutions/sports-fans/
  6. A grand for a social post is a good place to start The larger question is how to get a listing for Texas players on Opendorse and it looks like companies will have to buy into the platform and be vetted as well. @immamac better get to work on legitimizing the surly llc. Just setup a promotions business where you're brokering appearances at orgs without the wherewithal to get on platform themselves.
  7. This has been confirmed by the University - they're using Opendorse (opendorse.com) Exactly correct.
  8. The value of a players name, image, and likeness is relative to the player. Texas is not selling Booster contributions to the NIL slush fund. They're presenting the opportunity to develop your brand under the Texas brand which comes with more visibility and increases the value of a player's NIL. They still have to perform at a high level to build their own value. The best thing that can happen is current players start making real money and evangelizing. We'll start to see what opportunities the admin has already lined up (in the NIL Tinder app they've talked about), but what we're seeing now is all entrepreneurial, imo.
  9. Is this the first scholarship out of high school for Regents? Hine walked on. I’ve only seen them when they were 6-man and coached by Brydon. They were fun then, surprised they were able to make the competitive jump so quickly.
  10. At the very least, get them all together for a rousing rendition of the school song. They’d love that.
  11. You’ve clearly thought about this before
  12. Hell, idk. If/when Flood tries HC again, I imagine we'll have some reshuffling, especially if the OC is an internal promotion.
  13. If Coleman were to be replaced, I would expect to pursue an elite WR coach and recruiter. "I haven't heard he sucks" doesn't scream elite to me. Were we to bring in a volume recruiter to backfill Drayton or take over TE, I'm all in on Samples which is not dismissing his abilities as a coach.
  14. I agree that Samples would be the ideal backfill for Drayton, but in a world where we haven't developed talent in 10 years, I don't want a volume recruiter in place of a legit coach anywhere else. Were Coleman to be replaced, we should be looking at guys like Wiggins, Chiaverini, Gonzalez, etc. Not Samples.
