    It's easy to shit on A&M/Elko for their insatiable appetite for bread, but what are their options here? He's been put in a bad spot by all the attrition and they've got to fill out their roster. Maybe they get lucky on a couple of these guys and they turn out to be plus players for them. Maybe some of those guys are just on the practice squad. Lord knows they have the roster spots available. Unless the guy is a complete knucklehead and killing team chemistry, there's not a lot of downside or opportunity cost here.

    Well the best option is to load up on grad transfers and guys that only have 1 year of eligibility. 1 year rentals don’t kill you but the guys that have multiple years and don’t move on are dead weight.

    In a surprising turn of events, it has been revealed that 2024 Houston (Texas) Clear Lake ATH, Hunter Moddon, is no longer considered a commit to the Texas Longhorns football team. This information, obtained by Inside Texas, has sent shockwaves through the college football community. Moddon’s initial commitment to Texas on September 2, 2022, was seen as a significant victory for the program, as he had offers from esteemed institutions such as LSU, TCU, Ole Miss, Georgia, Pittsburgh, Michigan State, Arizona State, and Washington State. However, it seems that Moddon has had a change of heart, and his departure from the Longhorns’ 2024 class has left fans and experts alike speculating about the reasons behind this decision.


    Hunter Moddon’s Rankings and Potential

    Prior to his departure, Moddon was highly regarded in the recruiting world. According to the On3 Industry Ranking, which compiles ratings and rankings from multiple recruiting media services, Moddon was ranked as the No. 107 overall prospect, the No. 15 cornerback, and the No. 21 prospect in the state of Texas. These impressive rankings solidified his status as a top talent in the 2024 class. Additionally, all four services rated Moddon as a four-star prospect and listed him among their top 200 prospects. Such accolades highlight the immense potential that Moddon possesses as an athlete.


    On3 NIL Valuation: A Measure of Moddon’s Market Value

    An intriguing aspect of Moddon’s profile is his On3 NIL Valuation, which stands at an impressive $124k. The On3 NIL Valuation, a proprietary algorithm, projects the annual value of high school and college athletes based on two key categories – Brand Value Index and Roster Value Index. Moddon’s high valuation signifies the marketability and commercial appeal he holds, making him a sought-after figure in the sports industry. This valuation system is a testament to the increasing significance of name, image, and likeness (NIL) in college athletics.


    The Implications for Texas’ 2024 Class

    With Moddon’s departure, the Texas Longhorns’ 2024 class has taken a hit. However, it is essential to note that the program still boasts commitments from several talented players who are set to make a significant impact on the team. Let’s take a closer look at some of these individuals:

    Freddie Dubose Jr.

    Freddie Dubose Jr., a wide receiver from San Antonio (Texas) Smithson Valley, is a four-star prospect according to the On3 Industry Ranking. Dubose Jr.’s commitment to the Longhorns adds depth and skill to the team’s receiving corps. His presence on the field is expected to contribute to the offensive firepower of the Longhorns.

    Santana Wilson

    Santana Wilson, a cornerback from Scottsdale (Ariz.) Desert Mountain, also holds a four-star rating in the On3 Industry Ranking. Wilson’s skills as a defensive player will be a valuable addition to the Longhorns’ secondary. His ability to shut down opposing receivers and make crucial plays on the ball will undoubtedly bolster the team’s defense.

    Trey Owens

    Trey Owens, a quarterback from Cypress (Texas) Cy-Fair, is a three-star prospect according to the On3 Industry Ranking. Despite his lower rating, Owens possesses considerable potential and could develop into a key figure for the Longhorns’ offense. His arm strength, accuracy, and decision-making skills make him an exciting prospect to watch.

    Michael Kern

    Michael Kern, a punter/placekicker from Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas, rounds out the Longhorns’ current commitments. Kern, a three-star prospect, brings a specialized skill set to the team. His ability to consistently pin opponents deep in their territory and contribute to the field position battle will be crucial in close games.


    Hunter Moddon’s decision to decommit from the Texas Longhorns has undoubtedly left a void in the team’s 2024 class. However, the program still boasts a group of talented individuals who are determined to contribute to the team’s success. The departure of Moddon serves as a reminder that the recruiting landscape is ever-changing, and commitments are not always set in stone. As the Longhorns continue to navigate the recruiting process, it will be fascinating to see how the team adapts and fills the gap left by Moddon’s absence.

    What I don't understand is how is it allowed by the NCAA, give a recruit's dad the lowliest faculty job and his kid gets a scholly that does not go into the limit? They made a good rule for dual scholarship players, the team that makes the most revenue loses the scholarship. But the above is skirting this logic.

    I don’t think that’s true because Price’s son was on the 85 man limit. They might find him money but just because your parent is faculty doesn’t mean it’s 100% paid for.

    SIAP- Kinda of Recruiting related

    Sark said 3 players who are in the portal will be practicing with the team for bowl practices. Casey Cain, Sawyer GW, and someone else.

    Sounds like he’s changed his stance on if you enter portal you’re done. More of a case by case basis, which is probably smart. 

    Old news he said this when the portal opened.

    I’m a member of the Florida gator Reddit page. They’re all unanimous in saying this guy is very slow, wildly overrated and not much of a loss at all. Is that mostly sour grapes or is there a consensus out there that he’s overhyped?

    I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic, so I’ll risk looking like an asshole and point out Mukuba committed to us about 20 minutes ago. 

    Yep I missed that I just meant if Florida was trying to use anything against Texas about early pt. I think we all know Mukuba and filsame don’t play same position but Florida might try to push thay angle.

    I coached against Evans in track, he threw shotput and has ridiculous explosiveness. I don’t know if production in football has equaled how freakishly athletic he is but he reminds me of a Collins. I think he could slide inside and play 3 tech.

    Can someone compare Dominic McKinley, Daelyn Evans, and Alex Foster as prospects?

    Actually I have (travel quite a bit). Here's where a study by US News and World Report has us: 32 out of 50 (2 places above Mississippi). Sorry if reality impacts you're "yeehaw Texas" worldview

    https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/infrastructure/transportation/road-quality

    That list was created with a lot of liberal biases. Worried about shit like equality and acceptance. They ding Texas on shit that doesn’t fucking matter. Give me somewhere you can live that you can afford to live in something other than a studio apartment and you can make decent money. That’s where I wanna live. Stay in your own lane and take care of your own.
