  1. Talk is cheap... Our new player's NIL initiative has only sold 359 of their 4k available passes at $199 each. We have 1/2 million living alumni and thousands of season ticket holders that make annual gifts well in excess of that amount just to keep their seats and OU priority, so I'm disappointed they haven't sold out already.
  2. I can see that... Nice to have options you believe allowing at least one of the '23 guys to RS.
  3. I think he has the inside track for the move TE position post Billingsley and will be a special teams player and depth guy this year.
  4. Not a + recruiter, but maybe a +size recruiter 🤔
  5. Vacek? Should give it to Ethan Burke first!
  6. I wasn't questioning the date (I had heard the same). I was just having some fun with the typo 🤣
  7. rubmlings? hmm... sounds like his source is a "masseuse"
  8. Oh.. just a certain NFL QB's son from Ramapo High in Franklin Lakes, NJ
  9. You do know that on the big USA map only the staff spots are posted for Texas. For the players from the state you have to go to the adjacent Texas only map which naturally has big clusters for the state population centers.
  10. Wrong! Notice Agent Zero is still wearing 31 in that picture, so that pic was not from last season.
  11. Technically no as that would be an inducement to attend, no? The beauty of position room endowments is they can be announced in the media without targeting any particular recruit Setting that floor fairly high while players know they can layer on their own merch, sponsored posts, autograph signings, etc can puts Texas in a very competitive position vs anyone else's NIL opportunities.
  12. *Want *Our
  13. That source is basically just a guy and his buddies throwing out opinions and speculation.
  14. Fitting because the coach is Dookie https://youtu.be/iOcrKFiB_ts
  15. that was the short-lived Pelini defense that a tweener like Thornton didn't really fit and that they ultimately abandoned when they canned him. I didn't watch a lot of '21 LSU so have no idea what they ran last year or what the new staff there is going to run, but altering scheme on the regular is a sure recipe for bad defenses
  16. In a world with zero initial counter caps maybe that would be the case, but fishing for a center upgrade in the portal is further down the hierarchy of needs than getting: 1) a viable edge rusher that can pressure opposing QBs while holding up in the run game 2) a competent off-ball LB that can get off blocks 3) a safety that can reliably run the alley and make open field tackles 4) a WR that can consistently make contested catches 5) a OT that isn't a total turnstile in pass pro nor a drive killing penalty machine Maybe some true freshman or existing roster guys can step up to fill some of these needs, but that's where I see room for the portal to help the most.
  17. LSU based out of an odd front (3 man line) where the OLB was a standup edge player, so Ray Thornton was an edge player for them too.
  18. If he signed an NLI, other coaches would have to cease contact with him, so that didn't happen.
  19. Worthy was not a portal guy... He never enrolled at Michigan and was released from his NLI there
  20. I guess the recruiting inducements aspect is harder to prove/enforce with portal transfers as opposed to HS recruits who in many states are barred from inking a deal prior to actual enrollment at the school.
  21. You got me. He was quite the journeyman prior to his stint with Texas. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Davis_(American_football_coach)
  22. apart!!!! my eyes bleed every time someone thanks a group for allowing them "to be apart of your" apart is separated from a part is an element of 😣
  23. Arkansas? He came to Texas from North Carolina with prior work at Tulane and subsequent at Iowa, but I recall any stint at Arkansas.
