Obviously this year was a disaster, the interior in general has fluctuated from meh to total shit show, and the recruiting takes post-pancake factory seem extremely iffy absent serious development like Goosby

This hearkens back to my comment that he's a good coach but needs a better GM telling him who to target and how many.

Other than OL, RB and WR, it's a good class. Surely, the coaches have plans to fill those holes, right?

RB isn't too bad. I think Cooper is the real deal. I would have rather gotten Ezavier Crowell, as I think he's more ready for the college game, I'm not unhappy. It's better than Choice recruiting shit like Rickey Stewart, Jr and Gibson, who havw both already departed. Who knows about Clark and Simon? 

WR recruiting is flat out shit. Just say it. It's beyond turd-level. Bishop is a freak, but outside of him I don't see a quality starter, unless either turn out to be Malachi Toney, which is highly unlikely. 

OL is horribad. Turntine is going to take at the very minimum three years to develop and add weight, Robertson I like, but Scherer does nothing for me. Had we flipped Scherer from Stanford when Tim Drevno was there, then I would feel much better about his abilities.

I think RB has to be considered alongside the chatter that we will be pursuing a big time contributor there in the portal. Cooper is a good get and it doesn't make a lot of sense to get 2 right now if we're going to the portal.

Honestly can’t believe this kid signed with no drama. After his Oregon commitment I had zero expectation of him sticking with Texas. 

There were multiple out of state guys whose recruitments I thought would potentially be dramatic and they just weren't at all. Wesley, Atkinson, James Johnson, Derrek Cooper. Cooper was the only one we ever heard even a little bit of chatter on.

Feels like the top guys stay pretty locked in, and its the middle of the class that gets lured away because that's who we aren't willing to get into bidding wars for.

Also, they won’t be available next year or ideally until two years from now. As things stand, development will have to happen, which is another reason we want good coaches. 


develop who exactly? We signed 3 guys, one who is depth who probably won’t develop and one who just needs to add weight. That is not nearly enough to “develop”.

OL (numbers and overall quality) is unacceptably poor.

DL (numbers, not quality) is lackluster now pending the loss of Wells and without a true interior tech. We’ll need to take at least one multi-year guy in the portal like we did with Watson last year; not just one and dones. 

DB has numbers, and I expect Davis will be a baller, but I’m not sure the overall quality is great in that group either. 

However, with the increased scholarship limits for 2025-2026, taking a HS class of 25 still allows for significant portal grabs without huge roster churn. Hopefully, Sark learned from last year that he needs to bring more players in. I can’t imagine it won’t happen given it’s the final shot with Arch.

We had one and let lane scoop him up. 

Billy Glasscock - General Manager - Football Support Staff - Ole Miss Athletics - Hotty Toddy https://share.google/8mEQEqJgISwNwKz4D

I don't want to exaggerate the testimonial on it, but I was talking to one of the GA's that worked under him at Texas and he said good things.  That said, I'm more intrigued by schools hiring NFL guys that have more of a scouting background and are used to the role or have been a direct report one.  

None of which describes Brandon Harris, of course.  Paying that dude $600K a year when Glasscock makes $425K is nuts.

Hasn't really been the best End of November/ Earl December?

And yet we're still 9-3 with an outside shot at the playoffs, a top 10 recruiting class, on what most consider a bad/ down year.

Say what you want but we've raised the bar.

Don't think he's worth a 2 for 1 and that's how Auburn got him.

Yeah, they took his brother who was committed to South Alabama, I don't think that's justifiable for us. Its just unfortunate that our two flips were at the same position, turned a class strength into a weakness.

Don't really see why it wouldn't be justifiable. We literally took triplets last year and the roster limit is 105 so we definitely have the spots. To me the issue is more do they both expect to get paid.

IOL: Coleman, Cruz, Kibble, Cojoe, Chatman, Christian, Umeozulu — majority are not stars, but most college programs manage to develop lower rated players, and it was determined that these players could play at Texas. It’s somebody’s job to make sure they’re capable, or free them up to go elsewhere.

With the redshirts in this last class and what you can get in the portal at WR any given year one baller at WR in this years class was really all that was needed. It’s a fine WR haul.

From Wiltfong

Update 3:40 CT: On3’s Pete Nakos has confirmed that Texas has made a big NIL offer to Chris Henry. The intel still favors the Ducks right now with the Buckeyes also still in the picture.

I watched some ESPN coverage earlier and they were talking to Lamar Brown. He was like I have to talk to my agent etc. it’s actually kind of wild that this is like a free agency draft period now instead of traditional recruiting for the top guys. 

they should have a hs football combine and shit lol

well that last update in the article was at 2:45.

 

Wilfong reported that at 3:40, so maybe thats why

Ya I’m thinking Texas just threw in a bid at the last minute and is just making others pay more.

How the hell do we lose wells. We needed to throw a couple hundred thousand more at him and make him sign the paper. Damn. Yes his brother I know, you take him. He knows the deal….maybe he didn’t. 

It's hard to trapdoor someone's brother after a year.  So the family is going to expect you to pay both for 3-4 years.

Seems like a dumb use of NIL money for us. We have much bigger needs than another HS WR.

If Baugh hops in the portal, Sark better be the first to offer him. You could say Baugh is the reason Texas didn’t make the playoffs this year.

Oh yeah, I mentioned that elsewhere that the haul itself is underwhelming, but getting an elite WR in the portal is the easiest position to fill. You can get any given recevers you need. We didn't get Concepcion or Craver, but I would argue we got the sane level of quality with Mosley, who has been the truth so far. Every year we have gotten extremely good to great WR, so this class doesn't matter to me just because Sark will get WR'S in the portal every year regardless of who we recruit.

I'm assuming the only reason we have a shot is because Hartline is leaving.  The best way to find a surefire star at wr is to steal Ohio St's no 1 choice.

Mater Dei (Calif.) 5-star receiver Chris Henry elected to not sign with Ohio State after news of Brian Hartline taking the South Florida job surfaced. Henry has been committed to the Buckeyes since July 2023 so it would take something significant for him to not sign with the school.
Texas was in early pursuit of the son of West Virginia great Chris Henry but couldn’t break through Hartline’s grip on the player. With this latest development, Texas is taking a very aggressive swing at landing the 6-foot-5, 210-pounder. Both Texas GM Brandon Harris and head coach Steve Sarkisian stated today they’re continuing to work some angles.
The Horns are not alone in their attempts to flip Henry at the last second. The Oregon Ducks are doing the same. Henry is said to have a good relationship with head coach Dan Lanning. 
Though he’s at Mater Dei, the same high school as Texas wide receivers coach Chris Jackson, Henry is originally from Ohio. You’ll recall his late father was a stalwart for the Cincinnati Bengals. 
I would actually put Texas’ chances at third right now, simply because I’m not sure the Horns have strong enough relationships. Not all hope is lost, however. Texas is making it known how much Henry is coveted and recent misses on the offensive and defensive line certainly has the staff extra motivated. 
This one is going to be tough but it’s worth following.

I wonder if the staff would've kept Dylan Berymon if they knew what they know now about both Cleveland and Wells.

Should we start Side-Eyeing Baker?? I mean imo We weren't as good as usual on the D-Line then we just lost most of our D-Line recruits

My work blocks Twitter, so this is what this post looks like on my screen. I was thinking to myself, "hmm, I doubt $1/week gets it done for a guy like Henry".

Wasn’t Berrymon basically dropped from the class? Someone mentioned he had a knee injury and didn’t look like the same player.

We signed arguably the best DL class in the country just last season. I'd guess this is more about NIL allocation.

Yes. I'm wondering if they still would've done that if they knew Wells and Cleveland weren't in the boat.

I would hope not. Just signing kids you don’t really want for numbers sake shouldn’t be happening.
