    Someone needs to validate this but Disney is not the good guy here...

    Yeah, its some bullshit. We already had disney+ for the kids, and I got the bundle with ESPN and Hulu for $1 per month more than disney plus by itself. Then I canceled yttv and saved myself $80. Bandaid for a year, but I will just cancel it later.

    If you went to bed early on Thursday night, you missed some recruiting fireworks.

    Coming out of staff recruiting meetings held on Thursday, the Longhorns decided to offer three new high school recruits:

    TE Charlie Jilek of Portage, Mich. (previously committed to Minnesota)

    RB Jett Walker of Georgetown (committed to Minnesota)

    OL Kaden Scherer (committed to Stanford)

    Jilek committed to Texas last night. He, along with Walker and Scherer, are slated to visit the Longhorns on the weekend of the Arkansas game.

    While the offers may look sudden, they actually are not. The Texas personnel staff has been evaluating players across the country for months.

    Texas also recently offered Josiah Vilmael, a corner from Fort Bend Travis, who will also visit the Longhorns next Saturday.

    As Texas closes out this class, it’s clear that the Horns are relying on their own evaluations over that of the recruiting industry star-ranking system.

    It’s also evident that this recruiting class could easily push into the mid-to-high 20s in total.

    **

    Are these new offers a sign of possible heavy attrition this off-season from the existing roster?

    Possibly. But not necessarily. These offers fill existing needs within the recruiting class.

    The Texas recruiting class did not have a tight end commitment until Jilek pledged last night.

    The RB unit has been hit by attrition during the season. Jerrick Gibson has elected to transfer and Ricky Stewart is no longer with the team.

    And the OL was long on the lookout for an additional 1 or 2 signees.

    **

    Take a look at Jilek’s video. There’s a lot to like.

    He’s an all-state performer in football and an all-conference player in basketball. At 6-5, 230 pounds, he’s a sneaky good prospect.

    I’m in Athens this morning. Headed to the campus and the football stadium this morning to walk around.

    As a reminder, I’ll be at Botica in Buckhead this afternoon with the Atlanta Texas Exes who are hosting a happy hour for all Longhorns coming to the game.

    Please come out and join us if you’re available.

    An early Flipmas gift!

    Texas has flipped 2026 Portage Central (MN) tight end Charlie Jilek from Minnesota!

    A quiet process behind the scenes comes to light as the Longhorns steal away a future B1G tight end to add to their 2026 class.

    Jilek had been committed to Minnesota since October 1st. The 6-foot-5-inch tight end holds offers from UCF, Minnesota, and nine others. 

    Texas has a loaded room at the tight end position and is expecting a departure of Spencer Shannon following his senior season. Jilek will continue the numbers game at the position and provide a developmental piece for Jeff Banks and Jason McEndoo.

     

     First off, what the hell is a 3 star ++? I get the 4 star ++ thing I guess, but are we really doing it for a 3 star?

    Secondly, when did Ricky Stewart leave the team? I did not know that had happened. 

  3. I feel bad for the kid. Yes, he is not doing himself any favors with his lack of work ethic, but Bo Davis has fucked him over twice and now it appears that Brian Kelly also fucked him over by essentially cutting him from the team.

    Lol at everyone saying LSU is the stupid ones. Kelly will take a settlement of like $30 million to go away, and LSU will have saved themselves $20 million. He can’t go toe to toe with them in a court battle. 

    Why not? The guy is a head football coach making north of $5 million per year for the last decade plus. You don't think he can afford to spend a few million in legal fees to gain a $20 million delta?

    They could have, but they would have cut their throats on future coach prospects. JMHO, that’s why they didn’t invoke. 

    This. If they go into a protracted legal battle over a settlement that they so clearly owe, I don't think that any marketable head coach will touch this job until the case is concluded and they see what happens. Kelly didn't do shit to the school except underperform on the field. Outside of being an asshole, there is zero to go on for cause.

    You are talking about the same school/fan base that was blown away that it's possible to produce historical AC temperature settings. 

    Wait.. you can do that?

    The only reason some of you think the freshman WRS should get more snaps is because they haven’t gotten any. That is literally the only reason. As mentioned above McCutcheon got snaps vs Ohio State and he is also a true freshman. I know a lot of people like to think there is a game day stud just sitting on the bench dwindling his thumbs because the coach doesn’t like the way they practice but that isn’t always the case. I’d also like to mention Butler was also ahead of those guys and he isn’t anyone’s favorite.

    Then you go ahead and explain Parker Livingstone to me good sir.

    I'm not sure why everyone is so caught up on the mitigation aspect at this point. He's been fired less than a month, and it's not college football hiring season. Additionally, him seeking a job can be him taking a gig at ESPN for a year or two at a few hundred K, he can't be legally forced to work only in coaching by a contract. 

    LSU wanted a lower settlement to make him go away, BK told them to fuck right off, then the clownshow started. Even if they reach a settlement, the news will report the number, but probably not the payout structure. This started with the two parties arguing over the total payout. Then the state of Louisiana decided they were going to try and pay zero. And here we are. 

    Other than that, how is it going?

    This thread has usually been in overdrive for years, but it is moving very slow due to the lack of tears. Let's take care of Georgia so that we can put ourselves in a position to give aggy a fountain of tears.

    The drop always comes, just a matter of time. Personally, I would love to see them go the playoffs and then get bounced in their first game by Tech.

    A Georgia fan complaining about a simulated snap, that’s fucking hilarious. Georgia’s DL does this multiple times a game and seems to never get called.

    I seem to remember those late line shifts when we played them last year resulting in multiple false starts.

    Yeah, but LSU fans are dumber than Helobious, so no damage done.

    From a PR perspective this is an unmitigated disaster for LSU.

    They have a governor openly stating that they want to reset the market in a negative way, they are pulling some bullshit legal nonsense to not pay their current coach, and yet they are somehow expecting Lane Kiffin or Nick Saban to walk through that door.

    Lawson Luckie is in concussion protocol but it sounds like they expect him back anyway. Elyiss Williams is a true freshman that is coming on and will be the next big thing at TE for Georgia. Generally speaking, it doesn't matter which one you were referencing, they're both really good to go along with Delp. I have faith in Texas' LBs to cover their TEs and backs from an athleticism perspective, but not from a scheme perspective. Whatever criticisms of Mike Bobo people want to offer, and many are justified, the guy knows how to get his TEs and backs open. 

    Georgia also has an annoying white guy 3rd down back, named Cash Jones, I think, and he's someone that Texas is likely to magically let open just when we need a stop. I feel like Georgia always has a guy like this. 

    Cash Jones is just a dime store Kai Money.

    On the whole the SEC has been a net winner in realignment but taking aggy is universally viewed in the conference leadership as a dumb choice.  They are a net financial negative to the conference and generally one of the, if not THE, lowest revenue generator.  There is a 0% chance that the SEC is going to lube aggy's trip to the conference championship game.

    Huh? I dislike aggy as much as the next guy, but saying they are a financial negative to the conference is way off the mark. Financial engineering aside, they are still a top 10 revenue generator in college sports. They are annoying, they are idiots, but they aren't a financial negative. Ask Greg Sankey to choose between A&M and Miss State, Vandy, or Mizzou and see what happens. Hell, I am not sure Auburn or Ole Miss would even survive that conversation.

    Oh boy here we go again just posting every single player that enters the portal without any regard for if we have any interest or ties to them. I promise you posting them here won't make the coaching staff aware.

    Look man, preseason All-Ivy players don't just show up in the portal every day. I bet this guy was even an honorable mention all district player at one point.

    This discussion is crazy.  Anytime you put 4 OL in the NFL in a single year, that OL was elite.

    The issue we had last year was more about the structure of the offense than it was OL talent. Teams figured out that when we were all bunched up in those tight formations that they could send the house at us and get home almost every time. That really came home to roost with Kirby in the Georgia game last year, but we had been seeing glimpses of it all season. Plus Quinn's pocket presence and elusiveness were embarrassing. 

  15. If I am James Franklin and I wanted to be a real motherfucker, I would sign on to coach at the next university for minimum wage due to the offset language in the Penn State contract. Then I would go to my new school and say "Use my coaching salary as an NIL warchest". You would turn some shit around super quickly and hamstring Penn State in the process.
