    Nahlin (IT) is putting in a CB / RPM (80%) for Houston DT Jamaree Caldwell to sign with Texas. 
     

    Nahlin said they have no update on CJ Daniels (Liberty WR visiting Texas today), but that Texas is still evaluating multiple WRs, TEs, and DBs. 

    In answer to a question from a poster - Nahlin says that Dorian Singer is another receiver they are having discussions with.

    It feels like he’s just trying to fill out an 85 man roster, regardless of quality. 

    This. By the time the portal window closed, and the recruiting class imploded, Melk-O was down to something like 60 scholarship athletes. They need bread just to field a team.

    Ok, I'm sold...not that it took much, you guys had me at Akina

    What's everyone's infatuation with Akina coming back here...I just don't get it.

    Seriously though - there have been so many bad years in the secondary people are nostalgic for what it was like during the Akina years.  The guy is 67 years old and in semi-retirement, while I think he'd be a nice add as an analyst - I don't think he's going to move the needle too much when it comes to performance.  And he spent 13 years in Arizona before coming to Texas - so he might not be as nostalgic for Austin as Texas fans are for him.

    do you not know what wish cast means?

    Yes, which is why the post I was responding to didn’t make any sense. Neither of those (Nansen and Singer) would be wish-casting.  That’s why I clarified Singer was in the portal - thinking maybe the poster was unaware.

    I hate that I know what this is. 

    I sang it as I read it. 

  5. Nahlin posted that if Nansen is the choice at LB coach he probably has a pretty good evaluation of just how good (or not) Dorian Singer is.  Might be he enters the conversation for Texas.

    For those that don't remember - Dorian Singer had a big year for Arizona in 2022 and was one of the top WRs to enter the portal after the season.  USC won the recruitment and then Singer went on to have a very underwhelming season with the Trojans.

  6. CJ Daniels should be an interesting recruitment.  We've been told that one of Freeze's biggest selling points to the 2024 class was that this year is a rebuild and that he expects young players opportunity to win jobs for 2024.  He also doesn't have an established starter (worth a damn) at QB.

    If it just comes down to money - and Freeze wants him - then ok we move on.

    But...

    If he's looking at opportunity and situation - Texas has the AD Mitchell role wide open for him to step in to and he'll have a Heisman favorite QB (given time by an established and experienced OL) to throw him a ridiculous amount of TDs.

    Do you know the numbers for Sweat and Murphy last year? They both made significant jumps, which makes me wonder how Collins and Caldwell this season compare to Sweat and Murphy last season.

    Here are the 2022 grades for Texas DL:

    And here are where they ranked nationally (2022):

    B Murphy:  29th

    T Sweat:  52nd

    A Collins:  250th
