December 15, 2025Dec 15 Raiola has to go to Tech to complete his Mahomes transformation. Breandan Sorsby also in the portal. Maybe the best of the bunch so far
December 15, 2025Dec 15 I assumed from the start that Akina was a transitional coach for us, in part due to his age. As we didn't seem to get any clear benefit from his "teaching," it's hard for me to grasp his being around in 2026. But I don't claim to know who the best replacement would be. Â

December 15, 2025Dec 15 Well that fucking sucks  Prob first big playing time player we lose in the portal in recent years
December 15, 2025Dec 15 Definitely wasn’t expecting that one. Seemed like he and TyAnthony Smith were going to be the starters at LB next year.Â
December 15, 2025Dec 15 We've been tampered with! Oh well, let's do the same and get another LB to fill the vacancy.
December 15, 2025Dec 15 1 hour ago, Ricky Butler said: Yeah, but as many of us have learned in life, Jaden Baugh has a say as well. So is he invested in Sumrall's rebuild? Or does he want a one year showcase? When Sumrall was at Troy, he hired an OC who was run first because he wanted to play ball control offense and shut down defense, which worked really well. He oversaw Kimani Vidal, who became Troy's career leading rusher under Sumrall. Maybe they want to sell Baugh on an offense that is built around him in year one?
December 15, 2025Dec 15 His ability to drop into coverage on HS tape didn’t really manifest here. Solid against the run when he knew which hole to hit. Didn’t get off blocks the best though.  Good guy, wish he would have stayed to set the floor, but as was mentioned, he can be replaced.Â
December 15, 2025Dec 15 What other scholarshib LBs are on the roster currently, besides Smith? Barnes, the Georgia freshman... I'm sure there are others but can't think of them off the top of my head. Obviously a big portal need at this point.

Looks like I only forgot one scholarship player, outside of what the recent signing class has. Cunningham. Not a particularly inspiring group.

December 15, 2025Dec 15 I find it hard to care until March. Just find a guy that will make the tackle next year and play the linebacker good.Â

Had his moments both ways this season. Room lacks numbers and most of what is left does not shave yet. I would have preferred to have him on the team, but we shall see how it works out. Grabbing at least 1 LB in the portal seems like a lock now.Â
December 15, 2025Dec 15 Obviously plan on him not being here but if this was actually a Texas decision then there's a chance he finds out the market isn't what he thought it was. Not sure I believe that either way, though.Â
December 15, 2025Dec 15 Well definitely add LB to the portal needs list now. Can't go into the season with only T Smith having any experience at all.

I know the portal exists but returning one dude who played and one dude who redshirted combined across Mike and Will makes the floor on your unit, even if you spend a fortune in the portal, potentially very very low. Even if you flip Spence to Will that's two dudes total who have taken real snaps on your team right now. Is it solvable? Sure. Is it concerning? Abso-fucking-lutely.
December 15, 2025Dec 15 The 3rd best linebacker on this year's team leaving probably isn't the end of the world.

His best games seemed to be the first one and the last one. The 10 in-between were pretty meh.Â
December 15, 2025Dec 15 Popular Post One thing is for sure: Sark either ain't fucking around this offseason or he is fucking around and dropped the ball on this one. That'll be 9.95 please.

I think the money angle makes sense. They have 2 young 5 stars that are probably eating up "cap" space at the position. I am sure Texas would have liked to retain him, but this sport is now a business. Edited December 15, 2025Dec 15 by Codaxx

Three dudes means you gotta spend time and money finding depth pieces in the portal. Maybe they are out there but portal depth of SEC quality dudes who want to come in and be backups isn't high? Again is it an unsolvable issue? Absolutely not. Just hate to see it! Someone else said it but the upside is Barnes gets a ton of time to play which is great for him and his development!
