I’ve never met you but now I hate you, Tex

Edited by Dbeasy

This kid plays like Ant Hill, but with more of an understanding of the position. I'm not saying he's going to be Hill, but he's going to play early and probably have that same role Hill did last year.

To have him and Anthony Hill back to back makes me believe our defense is in very good hands and will continue to be top caliber. Not to say the defense never had great players -we have so many players that started in the NFL and were not developed - but linebacker has been our weakest point.

Damn... 🙄

Texas LB Elijah ‘BoBarnes is entering the transfer portal. Barnes appeared in four games for the #Horns, where he had four tackles and one sack

Mack Brown won a title here. Les Miles won one at LSU as did Orgeron. It doesn't take a genius to win a title, ergo, your take is bad.

Has there been anyone out of Dallas Skyline since Grandmama who has lived up to the hype?

Under 22 yo kids with idiot adults whispering BS into their ears. Simplest explanation is some team wanted to money whip this kid and some “trusted” adult told him to jump on it. Texas decided not to match the demand. Maybe there’s something else but as the Talking Heads said “same as it ever was.”

Really bad take

I guess only Skyline Players who played for Texas count. Hodges Mitchell averaged about 5 yards per carry while at Texas and had 2 1000+ rushing yard seasons at Texas. Basically, it was shitting on a HS because the Texas staff seems to have fucked up a current player NIL from that school. However, as I pointed out there are a decent number of pro level athletes out of Skyline including some world record holders but since they didn't go to Texas lets cast shade at them and forget the good ones who did play well for Texas.

What’s the latest here? Did Muschamp bring Barnes back from the edge or did he go to the portal?

I think he has potential but we can't meet the ask nor the promise of minutes. Just the way how it goes in this era of portal.

I just can't imagine how minutes were a problem. Until the news this weekend, we had 1 scholarship linebacker on the roster with any experience.

I think it's simple as some programs overpaying because of desperation. It's hard to turn down money now for "potentially" more money in the future when you are a 18-20 years old young man. Even adults have trouble with these kinds of decisions.

Looks like the guys picking Kentucky are just looking for the highest deal. The left tackle they signed is the ultimate mercenary.

Agents win when the client takes the highest deal. If the player defers to the agent's influence, the player will always take the highest deal. In special situations where the player has smart people in his corner with his best interests in mind, like Arch does, the agent's ability to manipulate the kid is limited. The majority of players are not going to be drafted in the early rounds, no matter what, so for them their best opportunity to make money will be through NIL. Bo Barnes, does he have a chance to be drafted in the early rounds? I haven't seen anyone say that yet. He will have more playing time at Kentucky but I doubt he will be developed as well as Muschamp would've developed him.
