Hey man if the end result is Cooper, that's completely fine

Agreed, especially if Rickey Stewart indeed redshirts. Texas doesn't necessarily need two RBs in every recruiting class. Certainly not for '26 and maybe not even '27 if the entire RB room remains intact.

Take the money from positions of less or very less need - TE for instance - and divert it to the entire RB room and bring in Cooper.  Just a thought from someone who doesn't know shit about fuck.

$9.95ers really setting this one up to crush our souls

There's nothing about the situation today that crushes my soul. We're in all these recruitments and winning many of them, adding more meat to a roster that is already nearly empty of fat.

These are great days my friends.

One of my favorite parts of this recruiting cycle is when we lose out on someone, we say "Texas has fidelity. They have a monetary cap on recruits, and they aren't going to go over and get in a bidding war...that's for someone like Tech or Baylor to do." Then when there's a chance to get a really solid player, the tune changes to "Holy shit empty the bank and go get that guy!"

To be clear, I'm 100% on board with your strategy. Cooper would be a great get. I also know shit about fuck.

I thought knowing shit about fuck was a prerequisite for most of us.

Or maybe that was knowing fuck about shit.

I see this kind of post all the time. Like a message board is supposed to be some kind of hive mind. I see it from content creators who depend on engaging with their audience, then blame the audience for demanding contrasting actions on the part of the content creator. I mean, I see it from all segments of the population regarding all sorts of things. 

There can be a group that thinks Texas should be fiscally responsible in terms of their overall budget, their budget within positions, their budget with current players and upcoming retention --- contrasted with their budget for the acquisition of new talent. And then there can be an opposing segment that so desperately wants the dopamine hit from a talented teenager creating validation and affirmation for their favorite college sports team that they excitedly wish for other people to spend a small fortune to get the kid to say yes.

People can hold contrasting opinions. Within the same person, frankly. One of the things that makes people most interesting to me is when they can simultaneously feel strongly in support of two opposing sides of the same position. It happens to me, too. 

But mostly I think it's a group of people who are very comfortable with spending someone else's money with no real limitations, and then a group of people who hope Texas has a plan they're trying to follow in terms of roster payroll.

I'm in the Texas has a plan (it's similar to NFL payment validation for positions and players) and hope they follow it. This is a developmental/plug year for us. No recruit other than potentially Wesley will see significant playing time other than maybe special teams from this class for 2 or more years. That's what we need.  Backstopping our DL, OL, secondary, a LB or so to develop. Would like to flip M. Lee if reasonable, Cooper would be great - big back but stay sane on it.  People aren't looking at our current roster talent enough. We need to keep those guys that have a year or so in our system first (Becton is greatness). We can develop now and have time for it ... unlike the prior 10 or so years. Get the best talent in a reasonable way, develop them, profit with wins.

Ojo is a great example of what not to do. He needs the Goosby plan but his TT deal is for 3 years. Ideally he would develop over 2 or so years then contribute. TT has put themselves in a position that he may get a year if lucky and will struggle or may never get it. His recent tape shows this.  Every EDGE we looked at or have (Wesley) showed how raw he is on skill. It's geared for the defense on those drills! Wrong. No hips, no flex, no use of power, bad feet, too high, bad first step, etc. Can be coached but needs time. Their deal doesn't allow that. Maybe it works OK in Big 12, not here for that price tag.

Good post @SL Xpress.

aggie has done a great job on recruiting. They need basically, everything. One of their main recruiting strategies is similar to their Soviet campus design "isolationism" from what CS is really like. They can buy players ala 2022 but I suspect their current class will, as usual, have massive defections after a year there. Maybe Elko sold them though. Will be interesting. Especially on WR.  Reed is not good - watch their Spring game.  Turn off volume because every play some goober is talking about how great he runs while he can't hit a WR unless (2nd half) they use 2-3rd string secondary for him.  Reed not at SEC media day.  The 2nd guy is better and that random guy they brought in looked better but Reed can run!  

They're going to have trouble keeping those OOS kids once they realize life in CS. They'll start well but at best 8-4 imo would be the top. Recruiting, this relates because we can flip some after November. There's only a couple I'd want though. Never been sold on Krempin, maybe Roseborough? We never seemed to engage Arrington, who knows?

Their defense can only improve after wasting NFL talent that Wisner abused. But Elk is taking charge there, so who knows.  

Defense for them - man coverage and stuff the run with contained blitz on Reed (he can run).

Sounds like a great way to torpedo a position group and a roster.

Whoa, they aren't taking their franchise QB to media day? The guy who is going to lead them to the promised land with a victory in Austin, the SEC title, and the CFP?

Of course not. Who would be so foolish to put a third year QB in front of the media hordes. Or is it whores? I never can remember.
