This narrative that “we have to get X many position players every year” is garbage.

How many of our current RBs are gone after this year? None the last I checked. How many did we get last year? Two. Year before was also two, IIRC.

If we swing and miss this year, it makes it more likely to get a dude next year.

Y’all step away from the ledge.

Stop. Stop that right now. It is time to close our program down. We missed. It is over.

Has the Lott news not been posted?

 

 

Couple of afternoon recruiting notes

Wanted to pass along a couple of afternoon recruiting notes.

Confidence around Texas remains with 4-star+ EDGE Dre Quinn and 4-star+ DL Vodney Cleveland. 

Texas is also doing pretty well with 4-star+ DL/EDGE Bryce Perry-Wright. But the Texas A&M visit looms. Clemson also in it. 

OTF doesn’t have as much confidence with 4-star++ WR Jalen Lott. Texas had a solid visit, but we believe there is still ground to be made up. USC is strong. Oregon takes their mighty swing this weekend.

USC and Oregon are beating us due to offering more money?

While money is always a thing, he's seems like he's liked the idea of the West Coast from the jump, too. DK Moore was like that, too.

This sucks.  Losing DK Moore was understandable but losing Lott would be very disappointing given his ties to Texas.

I'm not saying he's gone, but I'm just saying close to home isn't the winning sell for some recruits. (Worked out for us with Ffrench).

I know we'll sign an RB, but I honestly never really expected two of the quality Sark favors. We're pretty young at the position, and another winter portal will be here by the time the first 2026 HS guys hit campus. Not sure if a new name emerges this summer, but I have a hunch we'll sign a receiving specialist as Sark's next toy out of the backfield.

If it was about proximity, I’d have mentioned as much. Don’t insert it. His dad is as much in favor of him getting all the money he can as the kid. Fuck both of them and I hope he rots in USC purgatory with Riley if he goes that route. If Oregon, fuck him there too. He has everything he needs at Texas.

Come on lol it’s not even that serious. I hate losing out on him to (if that what happens) but no need to bash.

Wish we got him, we didn't as of now (Edwards). With our current roster, I'd be fine with no RB this class. Get Kent, short yardage - run here, bingo. He is bigger than some OT we are recruiting - which I think is his place. His footwork at LT would be great. I'm all in for aggie paying huge money for a class.

We need to take at least one RB. Let’s be real with ourselves.

Being content with taking no running back in the class is like when Mack Brown was ready to take Terrell Cuney as his only OL commitment for the 2014 class before getting fired.

Wisner and Baxter are draft eligible. Maybe Wisner has a year similar to last and gets a top 3 round grade. That would leave Texas at 5 scholarship RBs before thinking about Baxter jumping to the draft, or even a RB transferring for any number of reasons.  I read Niblett would be involved in the backfield in some capacity this year but I'm not counting him in the numbers until I see it.

Just go steal Ball from Oregon. It's not like they have NIL money to be able to hold onto him.
