Bird in the hand wrt Biles/Uluave Moore vs Coleman is an interesting one. I’d say both if possible, but I think Moore provides a different dimension to our team and we could find a 50/50 ball winner for much cheaper if we don’t wanna put Lockett in that role yet. Lockett also had an issue with Moore during their recruiting cycle so maybe he leaves (darn) if Moore actually comes

Texas Recruiting Notes 2027: I remember watching his dad play
Recruit these guys to build the relationship with them so when they hit the portal you can get them cheaper if they haven’t produced yet, or you have an in if they have to leave home for a opportunity, do well but would like to play closer to home.

Easier to coach up mature, less heralded players than less experienced, highly rated players. Lower ceiling as a team, but many of the highly ranked, high potential guys won't reach their ceiling in college.

Transfer G Dylan Sikorski
Doesn't matter how fast you are if you take bad angles or can't make contact with good balance. His feet don't look great in those highlights though. I'll check him out whenever I get the time/motivation

That evaluation risk makes having a strong scouting/recruiting department all the more important. Shit is fucking costly.

To be fair, we saw Austin Goosby turn down a much larger NIL offer from BYU to sign with Texas.

We offered more than Oregon for DK Moore. It was primarily a location issue.

They moved JJR to LB for the bowl game and he out snapped Barnes. To my limited eyes, Barnes struggled to run fit for much of the game. It sucks to miss out on our primary targets, but missing them along with all these guys coming off the books means we have a lot of money and motivation to get quality guys looking for a place to play. The staff just needs to identify the right ones.

OU Recruiting 2026: Burnt Vegetables
Maybe the diehards, but you would be surprised at how many people don’t know more than 4 people on the team in any given year. It’s much less fun not being able to follow guys from hs recruit to contributor on your team to eventual NFL player. Whatever. There are many ways to have fun in this life.

Ohio State just lost Quincy porter, which is a bigger hit than Bo. Georgia just lost Bo Hughley USC lost Matai Togiai Alabama lost Qua Russaw and James Smith I’m sure there are others, come on man.

I agree that there are no parameters, but you have to stick with what you budget for in order to keep shit from spiraling out of control. Not saying that is the issue wrt Barnes

Having set financial considerations for players by position and pedigree, clearly it’s all speculation and maybe they did that. If his motivation was matching Atkinson’s agreement, then that would be how to mitigate that issue better. IT seems to be saying we wanted to give him a pay cut though, so it sounds like we didn’t care to keep him around.

This is the biggest entry we’ve had thus far. Probably heard what Atkinson got and wanted to get the same. Would be nice to have a real GM right about now.

Who was lost that was truly available? Tre Wisner? Parker Livingstone? DeAndre Moore? Inertia is a bitch

The scramblyn tag is in reference to his brain Did they ever describe what all in meant? Not to my knowledge, so people taking it to mean they were going to spend willy nilly like Tech are the ones to blame. You pay someone more than Colin Simmons reupped for and you think he and his team won’t force a renegotiation? Agents talk, so prudence is our friend as far as making the most of our resources.

What stops a kid from resigning with a school then entering the portal anyway? Didn’t Damon Wilson do that last year?

The Michigan state TE has committed. Michael Masunas or something like that.
