There are people in the program that are trying to convince Christian Jones to stay another year. If he does that’s going to cost us a young lineman.

The McCall kid? He is a headcase. Norvell basically pushed him out the door.
Yes, it’s him.
But the Aggies need some recruiting momentum and they will get to tell their fans how they just went into Florida and got a National top 50 level recruit.

IT said Catalon is taking a visit to Texas next weekend.
Biggest lottery ticket in the portal.
if he gives you a healthy season you hit the jackpot.

Aggies are to suppose announce a “big time” transfer this weekend. Safety from FSU.
I thought they they had their safeties of the future already on the roster so curious how this all plays out if true.
and yes, definitely offering a nice sum per the kids family.

In regards to a certain WR there are two things at play. 1 - His current team is absolutely aware of all the “rumors” and understands how much the potential transfer would hurt the school’s perception. Desperate times call for desperate measures. 2 - The family has been made some very big promises in regard to OC and scheme change. I doubt you see any movement until the OC is hired. That’s going to work in Texas favor cause it doesn’t seem like the big splash promised is going to happen.

No, it’s from way way further out of left field
Cool.
there is some talk of a South Dallas kid who might be a little home sick. Might just talk at this point so I was just checking.

@closetojumping I have a question and if you can’t answer I understand. Just trying to see if what the kids are saying has some legs.
is the Edge/DE that was suppose to enter the portal that Texas felt good about, from the DFW metroplex?
-
The North Shore staff is absolutely in love with their Freshman and Sophomore classes. They are going to be filled with D1 kids. The coaches thought this would be a down year talent wise.

Whoever is proven and talented will be needing a metric fuckton of NIL money from CU to go there, or they'll be going there out of the sheer kindness of their hearts. A school, not Texas, went after Chappell at ATM and ATM matched for a ridiculous sum. That dude projects as a day one pick apparently.
The other school might be one of the most well-heeled, but the true ballers will be getting 6 figures. CU has zero NIL infrastructure. So either Deion has already found a benevolent Daddy Warbucks CU backer, or things are going to be harder than everyone else is thinking. I'm interested to see if Hunter follows him to CU because he could land $250k+ anywhere else.
I’ll say this:
Two of my old kids have plans to transfer/attempt to transfer to Colorado. Both power five players. There are inner city parents who are absolutely enamored with Coach Prime. Parents seem to be more enamored than the kids.
The word is Hunter has already been taken care of and that was taken care of before Deion took the job. But like everybody has said plenty of times, when it gets down to crunch time let’s see if the money is actually there and how much money you’re willing to turn down.
more than likely Colorado is about to take a lot of highly ranked high school prospects who flamed out and feel like a change in scenery is going to help them. People will see their high school rankings and swear Deion is putting together a talented squad.

Is Deion in the business of recruiting shitty CBs? What the fuck would he want with Taylor?
Bobby can/could play at Jackson State and be successful at that level so him transferring there made sense. There will be better options in the portal for Deion at Colorado.

I’m not the biggest Prime fan but that Colorado locker has some culture issue. One of our coaches accompanied a kid on his official visit to Colorado last year and it was a mess. The kid loved campus and was enjoying his official visit until the head coach’s wife made an ignorant comment to a parent as a “joke”that unraveled the visit. The kid asked his host about the coach after and his host told him and his parent flat out not to come to Colorado and that him along with most guys were planning to get out the program. The host and his roommate both hit the transfer portal.

Fuck this pussy for shitting on Texas. I hope his life pans out as well as his football career.
Really? I never knew he talked bad about the program. I was told he hated Herman but left because of injuries and a change of scenery because he was close to Jake and took his passing very hard.

I believe that CTJ previously stated that we were told by a S, DE, and OL that they were coming. I wonder if this is still the case, and if any have entered the portal yet.
It’s DE, WR and S.

I think that's good logic. Especially if it still the situation some of us have been hearing about for a month+.
I can guarantee you that it won't be IT fucking it up. The liabilities are the same as they ever were - Chip Brown and Geoff Ketchum/Anwar.
I really respect that IT can be in the know and not ruin things for Texas. Eric can be an ass at times but IT does look out for Texas’ best interest.
if Ketch or Chip ruin this secondary player for Texas after the work that has been put in to make it work, Texas has to pull their media credentials.

So now that Williams to CU is official, who are the prime suspects on the DL that he’s supposed to take with him @closetojumping
Watch for Smoke, Anthony Lucus, Bobby Taylor and Denver Harris if his grades allow him to transfer. Those four have been contacted directly by the “new” Colorado staff.

The read on him (and not just from bizzle) is that he's VERY immature, but not actually malign. You need to surround a kid like that with driven peers and a good cultural structure. And you can't have too many of them at once. Sooo... you just have to do that math. Could work if you think he's the guy to invest that effort into.
His family believes he is just immature and easily influenced. They SWEAR Chris Marshall is the bad apple who has influenced Denver negatively. His family has been trying to get him away from Chris. But that’s the problem, people needs to make him have some accountability and not just blame his action on others.

Do we even give it shot with Harris or take a pass?
The kid needs to take some time away from football and figure out what direction he wants to take his life. Of course his people won’t let him do that so hopefully he finds a program with very strong leadership and discipline. He is not even welcome on North Shore campus right now.

Of course a bunch depends upon how Texas fares in closing the class and who they lose that they do not wish to lose. That said, I will be really surprised if Texas doesn't take at least 3 DBs, 2 DEs, and at least one LB. If they get Hill, they lose Burrell, still need at least one LB. Remember what I've said about a TB and understand why no $9.95er with a relationship with recruits would say that they'd go after one at this point.
Beyond that, knock me over with a feather if they take a TE. I've heard that they're thinking about an OL with P5 starting experience but I am dubious on that premise, personally.
It sounds like 6-12 guys from the portal depending upon unwanted attrition and how much of a feeding frenzy they can get into with high quality guys who suddenly really have an interest in Texas.
Was really excited about Burrell. I think he will be a dog in two years. I get that you have to take Ant Hill if you can get him tho. Hope the LB from out west is as good as Choate believes he is because most people believe they like him much more than Burrell.
I would expect 2 WR, 1 Edge, 1 Safety 1 CB, 1 QB, 1 LB and a OL if they find one that can play inside and is a clear upgrade. They want size inside. But they don’t want young size because a young guy causes them to lose somebody.
This is all dependent on who they can get and who leaves of course.

Those are great options, would Sark take a swing at his buddy Wiggins from Bama?
Will he? I’m sure he will. Sark loves anything Bama. I’m also sure he would like to interview Tee Martin. But truth be told Wiggins hasn’t shown me anything especially these last two years. Recruiting to Bama is easy but that WR room outside of Meechie hasn’t been developed well.

Texas related - Marion still an option for Tulsa
Tulsa must have told him no, cause there is no way he takes this job while still in the running for Tulsa.
if we lose Marion I hope the first two calls are to Samples and Jeff Scott.

Really going to be interested to see who Herman is able to get to join his staff. Wonder if he tries to get the old gang back together.

Who coaches the nickel currently for us?
Barron showed a lot of growth and improvement.
I’d be perfectly fine with an upgrade at CB coach but I know they really like Joseph’s recruiting connections in the boot.
individually I think Gideon and Joseph are decent but collectively they don’t seem to be on the same page as PK all the time.

They have a minimum of one guy set up to portal at the EDGE role. I don’t think you guys will be pumped about him, but there’s a ton of potential. They continue to search for a proven difference maker as well. I wouldn’t conflate the portal with a late riser that they’d redshirt for this position.
Dammit on the not pumped part. We need a difference maker at edge bad.

The issue is you’ve told him and his family all year that next year is his year. To compound that you wasted a year of eligibility this year for him. You didn’t preserve his redshirt this year like we did other linemen. Didn’t even try. And it’s not like he burned his redshirt getting OLine snaps. You burned his redshirt on field goals and extra points. When his family had questions about the wasted year you told them that there was no way he would be here longer than 4 years no matter what, because where you project him and talent to take him. So lose a year of eligibility and then have to sit another year. At least give him a chance to compete, preferably at tackle where he has been all year. It is not 100% he will transfer but Flood and Sark are going to have to do a major sell job. Some kids take you at your word and really want to compete/play.
