  1. Unfortunately, he did not like Texas at all during his recruitment.
  2. I believe Sark talked about this in the presser that they may carry less players on the roster. In a time where every player thinks they deserve money and playing time, it's not realistic to manage 85 kids let alone 105. I wonder how much of this is them trimming the fat and going to a 65-70 roster. From a financial stand point, it makes no sense to pay a 4-5 star 3rd stringer that is going to transfer after 1 year. I could see a shift at going atter 15 HS recruits and being selective with who they bring and pay and filling the rest of the 2 deep with portal guys that are ready to contribute and have had 1-2 years in a college football strength and conditioning program
  3. My goodness. Some of the posters here need to grow some balls. The constant doom and gloom is nauseating. Texas just landed one of the best RBs in the portal and here we are bitching, still. Bunch of pussies in here complaining about losing two OL that stayed at their own school bc they like it there after we just whipped their ass a week ago with 7 starters missing on defense. Same OL that couldn't run the ball against ou, the same ou team our shitty OL punked. Stop with the constant complaining. You idiots realize there are more than just 1-2 good players in college football right? The Louisville guy that CTJ didn't even want never entered the portal, so we go get another stud in Raleek Brown. If Sprague wants to stay at UM and turn down 1.6 mil... well guess what... we'll tamper another very good OL that will take the 1.6 mil. If Baugh wants to stay at Florida, well there will be another badass RB that will take that offer. We were 1 Florida loss with some mediocre players from making the CFP. We don't need the number 1 guy at every position to win it all. We simply need upgrades which we will get.... some of whom are at the top of the portal rankings like Mascoe and Brown. More guys are going to show up, more guys are going to enter the portal. We're going to win some and we're going to lose some. At the end of it, we'll likely have one of the best portal classes and you stupid fat fucks will still be crying while jerking off to Michael Dell's tranny wife.
  4. Brown to Texas. Plenty of high level players in the portal. Let’s go!
  5. Yup! Wisner is at 5-7 FSU now for maybe 15% more money than Texas offered. Great choice buddy. You get to hope to make a bowl game and hope you get developed there.
  6. Washington was passed up by Endries, Townsend, Winston, and Shannon. Black got beat out by Phillips and he's not starting over the Rutgers transfer. There's going to be more transfers. I'm surprised 1-2 of Lockett, Ffrench, Terry haven't hit the portal.
  7. I would also just not try to tamper with Michigan players in the future. Those guys tend to stick together and regardless of their coaches being dipshits, their players seem to have a good culture and seem to like it there. If we have 1.6 mil to spend on a RT, I don't think we'll need to go that far down the list.
  8. Exactly. These aren't guys that are looking to leave. It's obvious we've been tampering a while with select players and some of them got big offers from their schools to stay where they wanted to be in the first place. I think everyone here expected to land all of them but it's looking like we may only land a handful. Good thing is we have money to spend and we can tamper with other good players. There was a point we didn't get Max Claire and we ended up with Jack Endries. It's not the end of the world.
  9. All teams have to operate with a cap now. While I'm sure Texas would love to retain everyone, you can't keep guys that want stupid money that is going to eat the cap space like Wisner, Moore that have not produced. Then you have backups that are getting offered starter level money from smaller schools. Do you want Texas to match and not use that money on the elite guys they are battling for in the portal? All the guys we are letting walk are going to schools like Baylor, Kansas, Colorado. Who have we lost that was a guy this staff values and wanted to keep? If Kibble wants to go make more money and start at Baylor, well we'll find another Nate Kibble that will gladly be a back up here for less money allowing us to throw bigger offers to get some elite starters. We can't just money whip everyone. That isn't reality.
  10. Bo wasn't a pipeline player. It's why he didn't get reps this year. It's why we offered him a paycut. Auburn lost Cam Coleman. UGA just lost two 5 star level OL into the portal. Bama has lost a ton of high level players. Ohio State just lost a 5 star WR to the portal. Michigan may lose their starting tackle to Texas. Florida has their best edge player in the portal. Tenn just lost their starting LT to the portal. Should I keep going?
  11. We had the #1 recruiting class last year. I would say they know how to take advantage of it. I mean... it hasn't even been 24 hours that we beat out Ohio State for likely the top portal CB. We're also battling them for the Wisconsin LB that may be the top portal LB. 90 % of the idiots on this board are upset that we couldn't lure in the #1 RB in the country into the portal. The only reason Sprague and the other OL even entered the portal was because Texas was tampering and offered them big money. Michigan matched and they wanted to stay. Other schools have 20 million or more to distribute as well. Half these idiots are complaining that we lost a few OL to Kansas and Baylor. Good fucking riddance. And then we have some intelligent posters here complaining we didn't take a 6 foot 290lb OL from Wyoming. Yeah, no thank you. I've seen how that plays out against SEC DL. They will go down the list and tamper with multiple good OL until one says yes. 1 week ago, we had no idea about the Michigan duo. We're likely not going to know who plan B and C are until they visit. I'm sure all are talented. With all the said, I'd bet Nick Brooks wins out and takes one of the guard spots for next year so this isn't really going to matter anyways.
  12. Lol, please don't give Herman credit for Christian Jones. I'm pretty sure we can find posts of everyone here bitching about Jones and wishing he would transfer out. Dude improved under Flood drastically to the point that he got himself drafted. Same with Connor, most here wanted him replaced. He improved under Flood and got drafted. Neither player was on anyone's draft boards prior to Flood coaching them. DJ Campbell is about to get drafted, so your narrative about not having IOL drafted is going to be dumb. Then Baker will get drafted, so that will be 2. He hasn't run off the entire OL. We're keeping the talented ones and letting the ones that aren't high level players walk to bring in high level players. Brooks is still here, Chatman is, Cojoe, Coleman brothers are. So guys that mattered are staying. First you bitch that we didn't get transfer last year and just wanted to develop the guys on the roster. Now you are bitching that we are looking for transfer and not retaining the same players we've kept that you initially were bitching about. The stupidity on this board has reached new fucking levels. I think there are maybe 10 or less posters on this thread with actual fucking brain cells. We were 10-3, beat all our rivals, and barely missed the CFP. We have a fucking talented roster and the coaches are doing what they can to bring in even better players and letting the guys that are eating up dead money walk. Stop complaining. We're going to have a top 5 roster again for likely the 4th fucking year in a row. We're going to be a pre-season top 10 and a heavy favorite to win it all. Let the fucking coaches do their jobs that have landed 5 straight top 5 recruiting classes, record level NFL players drafted, multiple award winners, and have a damn good record against teams not named UGA and Ohio State. They are also doing this in a time where everyone is navigating through portal and agent bullshit. Let the portal window close and lets see what we end up with. Holy fuck, did all the idiots from OB and 24/7 start posting here?
  13. Barnes was a borderline 5 star HS player. Those guys generally have expectations of playing time. He didn't get it whether it was guys ahead of him or he simply he wasn't ready yet. Sark and Muschamp clearly felt the need to go get LB. The Wisconsin guy will be drafted and looks to be a high level LB. If you had to pick between him and Barnes, who do you pick? If you're Barnes, do you sit another year knowing a stud in Atkinson is on the way that is going to take reps and seeing how the staff is already looking for a starter? This stuff is going to happen in the portal era. Roster churning and guys leaving due to NIL or playing time is a problem for every team. I'd say Texas has been one of the few teams that has actually kept it's roster together. But yeah, if I were Barnes, I'd probably portal out too knowing I'm going to have limited playing time my sophomore year.
  14. I'm guessing this has more to do with potentially the Wisconsin LB or Cal LB and Atkinson coming in. I imagine he's leaving due to playing time/role.
