Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Pining For IOLs Who Can Fog A Mirror

Once a player decides to enter the portal a school has 48 hours to convince him otherwise before they have to file portal paperwork and make the entry official. The announcement is what starts the clock.

That's interesting because didn't Derek Williams announce he was going to enter the portal back on December 11. Then he announced he was returning to Texas on January 6, 2026, 4 days after the portal opened. But all insiders said he never "officially" entered the portal.

Texas has 21 players in the portal right now. 11 of them are from Texas.

22 and 12. 247 still hasn't put Zina on their list for whatever reason.

I’d guess the official request starts the clock. Not a social media post

The social media post is them just stating they've made the official request.

I hope we reach out to Horton and start working that recruitment while we wait for Coleman to go elsewhere.

Horton hopes we reach out so it drives up his asking price

When discussing Texas NIL in this portal cycle, does that include or exclude corporate deals the players have made while player here?

I saw it noted we weren't the highest bid for Coleman. However, I assume he could make up the difference here with corporate deals.

I don’t think anyone could beat what he’d make as the spokesman for Double Eagle Energy Holdiings.

Riiiiight. I’m sure the agent has a zappier integration that just fires off on form submittal

I could see a minimum 2 year-ish contract becoming a thing in the future, especially for HS players.

I'm old enough to remember when there was as big stink in high school recruiting in which players wanted 4 commitments on the LOI....good times.

Christ....this place is the football board for the forseeable future.

Coleman hasn’t made an announcement. It’s just Lucci being a dick and making it seem like Texas is in the lead, so it will be seen as a loss for us should Coleman go elsewhere. So, a win for aggy even if they don’t get him.

They don't. Everyone transfers now or never.

1 window, unless your coach leaves.

Can we just call Mack Brown head coach? Then we can name Sark, Gameday Sideline Offensive Genius, and fire him without being subject to a new portal window.

Obviously there's nothing official about a twitter post, so congratulations. But most kids who say they "intend to enter the portal" word it that way because they don't get to decide the exact moment they get put in, the schools do, and by rule, they have 48 hours to do so.

We could use some of her money for NIL. Shit, her sister can contribute as well. And the better looking real actress sister can flash her boobs.

That's probably a run off pond from a Cattle Feed Lot.

That's lake access in Lubbock, bro

He was a class of 2020 recruit.

He received his Texas offer in April, 2018. We're now making offers to the c/o 2027.

If he ends up on a playoff team - or possibly one of the final bowls - he could be playing in 2028.

That Looch tweet is so hilariously, transparently made up. "Openly talking about it?" Oh really. How? Where? Are they bragging in group chats?

It's not a thumb war, announcing doesn't mean shit. You have to submit paperwork requesting to enter the portal to the compliance office. Reception of the request starts the 48 hour clock. You can't turn in the request until the portal is open - or maybe within 48 hours of it opening to start the clock?

Tbf Harris is enough of a fucking moron to be doing exactly that.

The discussion you’ve inserted yourself into started with someone stating “Once a player decides to enter the portal a school has 48 hours to convince him otherwise before they have to file portal paperwork and make the entry official. The announcement is what starts the clock.”

yes it was important to clarify the announcement was not actually what starts the clock

I guess he didn’t want to catch dimes from Jackson Arnold.

Yeah, but if he were, you'd think some Texas 9.95ers would hear it too. Why would Texags be the only ones hearing this.

Well thanks for the semantical clarification I guess.

Fuck. I didn't realize he was even thinking of leaving.

He wasn't, but everyone is negotiating right now.

I saw here the narrative from the resident bullshit artist that the ignorant are eating up as truth is that Brandon Harris completely fucked up the Barnes negotiation and others. But then explain how he isn't fucking up the negotiations for the DL? There's beg no peep out of Terry, Sharma, Charles, Jackson, etc. Why is that?

Could it be because those are the guys Sark wasn't looking to replace in the portal? So those negotiations got sewn up quickly with no problem? And with a guy like Barnes, Sark was actually trying to push out and give his money to Alliegro and the Cal LB?

That just seems to make the most sense. I have no idea if Harris is fucking anything up or not, but everything that happens seems to suggest Harris is nothing more than Sark's mouthpiece and errand boy. I would need some solid evidence Harris says it's does anything differently from what Sark tells him to do, and the word of proven liars here don't count.

Sark got caught with his pants down on just how difficult it was going to be to win these recruitments and the staff is struggling to fix some stupid mistakes with guys like Barnes.

Better than Forty-Six & 2, amirite?

I'm kinda looking forward to ESPN's 30 for 30 follow up doc in 10 years, "Broke 2.0" wherein they'll chronicle the HS kids college players who took fast cash as teenagers, pissed it away/had it stolen from them via agents/advisors, and never amounted to shit.

It matters in terms of negotiation timelines, internal leverage, avoiding Sarks no-return rule, and more. It’s not just semantics. It’s been a big contributor to a lot of noise the last week

He’s hearing it from his aggy source. He’s also fucking lying and is an idiot like all of them.

Gerry talking about how the days of 25 person classes are over. Considering we have lost half of the class already I tend to agree with him. You find 10-15 guys you focus NIL on and if you get anyone else it’s 2-3 star development guys that you just see if you strike gold with any of them that cost little but are motivated by the chance to be part of a big program.

With annual agreements, maybe schools need to start viewing freshman NIL as a "signing bonus" with no "salary" component. Then, the next year, there's nothing on which to base a "raise" or "pay cut"; negotiations start with a clean slate for both parties. Let the games begin.

Oh I mostly agree and just wanted to shit on Harris.

My expectation is that the Aggies want to up their offer to Coleman and having that fuckpuppet Lucci push out a "he is going to Texas if we don't act!" narrative helps motivate their wallets.

Basketball is a little ahead of the curve on this compared to football. You recruit the outstanding top prospects and the lower ranked guys who cost little to no money, the rest of the roster is straight portal. No point in spending big on HS mid-range 4-stars.

Your assuming luicie actually attended a&m. I believe he has as much actual association with the school as the illustrious Robert Heard had with UT.

Just now, The_Great_Hornsby said:

Had to double take and remember that Cal is in the ACC. Wild fucking times.

I believe he entered the portal with a no contact tag. Texas is the only visit scheduled, so far. So, Ohio State getting a good one.
