  1. Well, shit. Maybe I am just too used to team message boards that lack the mental capacity for sarcasm and self depreciation. No comment
  2. Tangentially related to UT recruiting, but even though USC is more of a competitor it is still pretty funny to watch Nebraska shoot itself in the foot. https://www.on3.com/db/dylan-raiola-147035/
  3. To your credit, Georgetown Law is a premier authority in what does not constitute a destination law school. Really digging deep into the thesaurus for this one. Much like legal writing, shitposts should be in plain English.
  4. @immamac - let us know when to expect the Burnt Endz capital call
  5. I’m not sure we’ll see a 4-wide set work out like this if we have to take Sanders off the field. More likely it would be our five wide set. Maybe they work in some packages with Whittington in the backfield to allow the flexibility of multiple looks while maintaining a plausible run threat. But that’s approaching Ian Boyd levels of wishcasting.
  6. Drew Hughes, who was somehow good enough to survive the Urban Meyer purge and is now in his second year with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
  7. I see a lot of descriptions of our linebacker commits refer to them as “off-ball” linebackers. As a casual fan who does not want to venture to the football board and has been afraid to ask: what does this mean and what is the difference with an “on-ball” linebacker?
  8. Come on now, this is low effort, in bad taste and disrespectful to our current & future students. What starts here changes the world, and we are better than this.
  9. Shocked they found actual game footage of him to use for the photo…
  10. Yeah that is a very weird tagline. Could have referenced his role as productive jumbo TE. Probably not the right place to discuss this, but I’m curious to see which of the 22’s the staff use to replace him in the bowl game.
  11. Ugh. Yes, I’m sure the all of the other recruits are going to ignore Arch and Baxter and flip to Houston because this one charismatic DE from humble is there preaching the praises of Landry’s seafood.
  12. I am continually floored by how good Kyle Flood is at his job and what a stark contrast he has been from the past 16 years of Texas offensive line coaches. How often have we seen Texas identify a prospect before TCU or Baylor? Noting the normal caveats that he still hasn’t hit campus yet and careers are unpredictable, Cojoe is looking like another positive data point. One of the reasons that he is still committed here despite our heavy depth chart is that Flood has always recruited him the hardest, especially early in the year when no one else wanted him. Holgorsen and his staff didn’t think he could ever see the field. Baylor and TCU weren’t pushing, and either SMU or tech was probably the runner up when he commuted to Texas. Now, all of these schools are trying to sneak back in but hopefully it is too late.
  13. Last cycle, Arkansas was one of the schools that (allegedly) was aggressively recruiting kids before they hit the portal. I seem to recall Drew Sanders having followed the entire Arkansas coaching staff on Twitter before entering the portal. Hopefully our staff wont be working with as big a handicap this go around.
  14. So you’re saying she’s not going to let him drift around aimlessly?
  15. Matthews in particular seems like someone who does not enjoy the school, but is having success on the field and received considerable $$. Wonder if LSU will be able to put together a competitive enough pitch to bring him back to LA this off-season.
  16. You are correct and I am mistaken: it doesn’t look like there is NCAA rules on point. I confused it with the Texas NIL statute language, but there is arguably ambiguity with respect to whether it covers enrolled collegiate athletes and is only limited to Texas. Sec 91.5246(j): No individual, corporate entity, or other organization may: (1)enter into any arrangement with a prospective student athlete relating to the prospective student athlete’s name, image, or likeness prior to their enrollment in an institution of higher education;or (2)use inducements of future name, image, and likeness compensation arrangement to recruit a prospective student athlete to any institution of higher education.
  17. “Offered…over a million dollars to pull him over to another team” is not “indirect” inducement, it is plain inducement. Which, whatever you think the consequences will actually be, is against the NIL rules as written. I don’t think anyone here finds the idea of directly tampering with opposing players who have not entered the portal appealing or noble. But it may very well encourage a race to the bottom if there are no consequences and the behavior continues. Hiroshima-style carpet bombing the other Texas schools with leaflets advertising how much the average O-Lineman gets paid at UT would be more of an indirect inducement.
  18. Love the idea of bringing in the O-Line commits together on visits.
  19. Just donated. Didn’t realize it was tax deductible. Will likely donate more when sufficiently inebriated.
  20. Okay but if he talks shit to my wife I can’t forgive that.
  21. @immamac berated my date. But 10/10 would come again.
  22. Didn’t they gift him a Land Rover too before he signed? Seems self inflicted
  23. Not sure if Gerry’s post is exactly on point, but Marshall’s problem isn’t physical talent. A lot of competent programs met him and his circle and decided to pass…
  24. With the amount of offsides going on, they were way better than expected even with those two pass rushers lining up next to them too.
