  1. Are you kidding, the recruiting services would have shit all over Walter because of his lackluster 40 time.
  2. You don't need to be a track guy to be a deep threat (of course it helps). A guy with long arms and a big catch radius doesn't need the same speed a little guy might. And someone who runs great routes is going to have the ability to get deep even if he doesn't run a 10.4
  3. Quote from Nahlin (IT) just now:
  4. Update on where we are stand 25 days into the Dec/Jan 45 day portal window. The portal closes on Jan 18th and will not open again until May 1. Team needs are taken from the Inside Texas Portal Tracker: QB (0) RB (0) WR (1-2) Thus far, bupkis. No offers reported. No visits scheduled. And our WR1 shit his pants on national television last night. Casey Cain played pretty well though - so we got that going for us, which is nice. TE (0) OL (0) DL (1) No offers. No visits. LB (1) No offers. No visits. Was reported that Texas did reach out to the Tulsa LB who ended up at OSU and the Stanford LB who transferred to Utah. CB (1) Texas very quickly identified, offered, and scheduled a visit for Gavin Holmes. He committed, and a young but talented DB room just got better and more experienced. S (1) Texas offered and scheduled a visit for Safety Ja'had Carter shortly after the 6'2" Syracuse defender entered his name into the portal. Unfortunately Ohio State was interested as well and appear to have taken the lead in his recruitment. P (1) We got the 4 yr Stanford punter to commit very shortly after entering the portal. Jeff Banks and his monkey doing work.
  5. Is inability to track a ball is spectacular. That first deep shot was short but it was short to the sideline because the DB was running stride for stride with Worthy. If Worthy had any idea where the ball was going he could have downshifted and made the catch.
  6. Not that PFF grades are the end-all be-all, especially for OL, but Hutson was the lowest graded OL on Texas this season - and the second lowest graded in the Big12. Campbell (he only played 20% as many snaps and much of those in garbage time) was the 4 highest graded overall on Texas and the highest graded pass-blocker. *11 Bowl games not including playoffs left to go. I look forward to the flood of talented players Texas has been waiting for, to hit the portal.
  7. For those curious - here are the snap counts for the game against Washington. Thompson and Red played 5 & 6 snaps respectively.
  8. Neyor was class of 2019. He RS'd in 2019. 2020 doesn't count. Played in 2021. Could use Medical for 2022. So 3 years of eligibility left? But realistically, if he has a good season, he'll be gone.
  9. What an absolute disastrous performance for him if his intention was to use this game to get paid again.
  10. Not great. Looks like he misses a shit-load of tackles.
  11. Not transfer portal related, or is it?
  12. PFF shows him as a 'Starter' in 3 games: Alabama, Oklahoma, and Kansas
  13. Adari Haulcy. From Missouri City. He apparently doesn't have the length Texas is looking for at safety - he's only 5'10". Allegedly recruited into the portal by aggy and then ended up at USC. Doesn't seem like Texas is interested in getting into bidding wars at this point.
  14. Thats the point - its beginning to look like those guys might not become available. I think portal may play out like Free Agency where the top guys on a team get taken care of by collectives but there isn't enough money to keep those next tier of guys around. Is Sark willing to sign that next tier - or is he just big game hunting?
  15. This. Deion may be a great coach - I don't know - but I do know that a couple of great players (like Travis Hunter) aren't going to have the same impact playing in the P5 as they would in a lower level like HBCUs.
  16. That may be true - but why the hell would anyone take his word for it? There are roughly 400 5 & 4 star players in a class - you're saying half of them reached out to Deion in 12 hours? Or even if you're talking a couple of classes 25% Guy is a world-class self-promoter and its ridiculous to take anything he says at face value.
  17. I don't have as much faith as you do that there will suddenly be an abundance of talent entering the portal after bowl games.
  18. His highlights are underwhelming. A lot of him Mossing some 5'6" DII defensive backs, but not many of him actually getting separation and getting open. He does have some pretty spectacular catches so the hands might be really good.
  19. Well, that sucks. I thought that was the one position Texas would be aggressive looking to fill via the portal. But it looks like they are being ultra selective about their offers to the point that if they don't get a portal safety they're ok with that.
  20. God damn - DII? Thats a hell of a jump up. My first thought was he must be a hell of an athlete - then I found his 100m PR is an 11.73
  21. DTD is from Norfolk and I assume that's where his mom lives. Google says the Kimmel Breast Cancer Program at Johns Hopkins is one of the best in the world.
  22. He's had two good seasons at Utah St - and would have been nice to have as depth here at Texas. Or maybe you're just a really big Jett Bush fan?
  23. That would be a hell of an olympic event.
