No one is moving goalposts and I didn’t imply anything other than the fact that we have a clear need at DT and that we walked away with 2 guys that look like depth players and struck out on 3 other guys that we seriously pursued in Alexander, Toila, and Williams. Nothing wrong with what I said. But yeah, you didn’t respond with your usual passive aggressive bullshit like you always do. This is also an open forum to discuss Longhorn recruiting and news. Feel free to chime in but I don't see any posters here asking you to educate us or help us understand NiL so stop policing this board as if we’re here for your hot takes.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Now We Have a Machine Gun
victory88 replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Nasir Wyatt just committed to Oregon. I wonder if that is the player Gerry was alluding to. -
According to Gerry, he thinks he’s a 2nd- 3rd found type of guy. I’ve seen enough of Broughton to know that he’s nothing more than a rotational guy that still doesn’t have the strength or lower body to hold up on the interior after 4 years in college. I don’t expect Williams to be a Murphy/Sweat type of difference maker but a lot of coaches went after him hard. Either way, doesn’t matter because Devon Campbell is going to pancake him come October.

Bro, you need to chill out. Where did I say that other teams don’t have holes in the roster? Where did I say that Texas isn’t going to make a run? You’re making a lot of assumptions. I was making the observation that we fell short of getting a difference maker at DT, after months of Bobby and Gerry both hinting that Texas would be prepared and you’ve had a history of posts also implying Texas has a “war chest” as well. Bobby just said, they came in and asked for more money and Texas didn’t budge and ou may have. If that is true, how is that not losing a player due to money? It’s the fucking definition of losing a guy to money. I get some players are not a fit for Texas or Texas doesn’t think spending the bucks is worth it… whichever way you want to paint it, our additions were very “meh”. Quit acting like a little bitch and having a temper tantrum on here. Sorry my post and others rile you up so much. Maybe take a day off the boards, you sound more pissed about Williams not ending up at Texas than anything I wrote. Geez, this board has fucking gone downhill with the stupid cheese posts and ctj and select others having their little bitchfest anytime someone makes an observation about our NIL or criticizes it.

I think Texas clearly has a strategy and has success in the portal and how they distribute NIL. With that said, this year is a year where we are 1-2 players away from making a run for a title. I would think it would be the time to over spend to make the run if that’s is what’s needed but it’s not my money they are giving away. After all the talk about having a war chest and the snippets about waiting for big names to enter and that Texas wouldn’t be beat out… seems we were beat out on all the big name DTs and all of it came down to money. Market value is what the market sets and clearly other schools are spending more setting the price for players like Toila, Williams, Nolen, Alexander, etc. Perhaps the coaches feel good about developing the young guys, but I hope we don’t look back in a few months and regret not spending dollars on a good NT which is a clear weakness on an otherwise stout roster.
-
So he wants to go to ou and is using Texas to drive his price up with ou it seems like? Good for Texas for not budging. At best he ends up at Texas at a price Texas is comfortable at. At worst, ou over extends themselves and has less NIL for recruits and other transfers. It's pretty obvious this has been ou from the start as they were the ones to get him into the portal and it's his last visit the day of his commitment. Hopefully that's not the case.

10 draft picks! Let’s goooo!

lol the NFL can be idiotic at times. There is no shortage of hot heads in the NFL. The dude fucking makes plays and has for years against tough competition and does it in clutch moments. Hell, Tyreek Hill beats women and teams don’t care. Not saying it’s right, but the Colts got a damn steal at 52. Dude is a physical mismatch and has elite hands.

Double, I need this bitch to go to $32 to break even lmao

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
victory88 replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Charlie went tried this tactic and we had about 15 players leave that season. I remember reading and celebrating the purge at the time. Aggy is in for a rude awakening. Luckily with NIL, it's easier to turn over a roster with talent. But they are bringing in bread. They are going to SUUUUUUCK and this will be a 4-5 year rebuild for them to get this program competitive. They will never see it though because they will fire Elko after 3 years and the next coach will repeat the process.
