    Not strictly transfer related, but significant roster news 

  • This kind of shit from our fanbase wears me out. Sark took over a lost program and since we've been to 2 semis and should have been in the playoffs this year but for a committee that doesn't understan

No, he was talking about roster management of active players as well. That was the sugary version imagine how bad it really is.

Grayson isn't just out on an island. Lionhart is an actual agency with real experienced people that work there and run it. They aren't just letting him run around doing whatever the fuck he wants. I've met the partners and they rep a lot more names you are familiar with at Texas.

Tre Wisner wanted to get paid for intangibles on top of being a feature back. The staff didn't see the value in those intangibles and obviously signaled thay he may not even be the feature back. What is he supposed to do? Tre Wisner had all the cards and now Texas has to hope their incoming freshman that sark is pumping in a bowl presser works out or they find another guy who will cost just as much as wisner was asking for in the portal.

He was one of the worst rated backs in the SEC. He showed up for 2 games this year. His agent came in asking for $1 million. Just cause the agent is your buddy doesn't mean it wasn't stupid.

Definitely seems like the excuses are being baked in before the portal even opens

Publicly playing poor is wise when you’re being used to bid up prices left and right

I kind of look at it like this. If we don't lock down 2-3 sure starters and a complimentary group of depth players the first 24 hours of the portal, I am going to be prepared for maximum disappointment.

I don't look at Sark's answer above as anything other than explaining the reality of the situation he is dealing with internally. It's not a comment on any external asks from players in the portal, I think he is just explaining why there seems to be more tough decisions made this year (letting people go due to $ issues) than prior years.

It's interesting to see how the professionals deal with these things (all the contract shit handled by the GM) as compared to each school's own rag-tag system that likely relies heavily on the coaches/coaching staff. Like Imma said above, what exactly does the GM do if not handle this shit so Sark does not have to do it.

Why do we automatically assume Sark is personally dealing with it? Here we go, bitch eating crackers indeed.

He is likely hearing it from Harris and staff and relaying it to a national platform of reporters asking him pertinent questions.

No one is clamoring to give Brandon Harris an interview to talk about influencer agents 2 years out of law school taking advantage of players.

Tre Wisner has all of the cards? He’s not even an average back at the P4 level. In almost every metric he is near the bottom in college football. I think he lacks a little self awareness.

He was the starting running back at Texas. Is it his fault that he did everything he was supposed to for that to be the case?

You are coming at it from a really absurd angle. I get it you are already moved on and don't care that he's a real person anymore because not at Texas. I don't think he has the opinion that he's "not even an average back at the p4 level" and I don't think he's an idiot and can't see statistics. He's ranked 5th here and most lists he's top 5 in the portal. He was a 1k yard rusher in 2024 and had a coach that got fucking fired after 1 season for being shitty and running off literally the whole room. No one had the 2025 season they wanted on the offense.

Every program looking to win a National Championship needs a solid rushing attack to help balance out the offense. Teams that don't already have a star running

Not a single fucking player. Name one and I'll give you the kudos, but there isn't a single player on the offense that played to their standard or to the fans expectations. That includes jack entries, arch manning, wisner, Baxter, Wingo, Moore, Mosely, anyone. Name one. The closest is Livingstone?

Part of that though is the difference in the setup of College and Pros. In the pros, theoretically at least, the GM hires the coach. In College the coach hires the GM. Also most coaches are control freaks, that's why you see Coaches in the NFL jump at a job that gives them GM/personell oversight roles. Most coaches want to have their hands in everything they can, especially player acquisition.

Allegedly the counter offer was 750k

It was clear the staff didn't see the intangibles the same way as Tre did. That's fine, maybe he wasn't as much of a leader or the right kind of leader they wanted in the locker room. I think it quickly became about more than the money.

Criticizing Sark’s answer in that presser, or anything he said in that press conference, is certainly a choice. Everything he said there made sense and was rational.

He didn’t say they were fielding calls willy nilly and didn’t have a process and a plan in place. In fact, if you watch the whole presser, he laid it out.

You’re starting to sound desperate, like trying to fit some narrative that you’re already dug in on.

5th RB in the portal in 2025 was Fluff Boutwell. Got 600 yards for Mississippi state in a running back rotation. And I guaruntee you they didn't pay him anywhere close to $1million.

Because in the presser he gave a specific answer saying "today I'll probably talk to an agent..." Not someone from my staff, not coach x or y, not the GM. He was talking to agents and has been. Brandon Harris sucks at his job and got fucking carried by the guy who left and is still crushing it at ole miss.

Texas fucking sucked in 2025. It was an embarassing to borderline embarassing product on the field for more than 2/3 of the season. They played like 12 good quarters of football the entire god damned season.

RB1 at Texas should be a $1M back and also someone other than Tre Wisner. There are dozens of backs in the nation who could replicate what Tre Wisner did and many who could do it better. Not crazy for Wisner to ask for that to be RB1 and even more reasonable for Texas to say no thanks, you're not going to be RB1.

First a completely embarrassing performance from Sark in a nationally televised Cheeze-It bowl press conference, and now memes. I'm going to call in sick today, this sucks.

Parker Livingstone definitely did. I think that's the only guy you can argue for. And Matthew Caldwell. He threw like 10 passes and had 1 run and it was all fucking awesome.

Yeah, he was calling out agents who are overinflating someone’s (like Wisner’s) worth to get a bigger cut. These are grifters just looking out for their bottom line and there’s no licensing or certification to make sure they are legit.

The r/CFB post about it understood Sark’s intent to call out the grifting agents being unregulated and giving kids bad advice.

I see it differently. I don’t think it was about intangibles or leadership at all. Money tends to explain decisions far better than character assessments these days. Texas seemed comfortable with Wisner until the money conversation changed. Once he demanded more, the calculus shifted to “we can replace this skill set,” especially if the staff believed they could find a better back - more bang for the buck. That doesn’t mean Wisner lacked leadership—it means he became economically expendable.

Not saying you wouldn’t eventually be proven right, but why would a player sign immediately like this, except with an offer in hand well above other offers, and would you want Texas to be giving those types of offers out at any, some, or all positions to ensure success at those positions if it’s an oversized chunk of total allotment?

De'Andre Moore was also considered a team leader and first guy in last guy out but you weren't having a fit about him. Oh yeah and he also had comparable yards receiving this year to Weisner rushing yards. The fact is, there are better and more durable backs out there for less money than Tre was asking. Tre should have jumped at the 750k from Texas, because I don't think he will find that out in the market for his services.

Yeah because he is a head coach and head coaches are control freaks who want to deal with everything. He hires and fires the GM. Unlike in the pros where most GMs hire and fire the coach. Coaches want this control. You think Debore, or Kirby, or other coaches aren't talking on the phone with agents throwing out ridiculous asks for their client?

  1. I would have expected that a decent amount of tampering has been going on for the last year culminating in these transfer portal shenanigans. I mean two years in a row we've seen people enter portal, sign with another team when it officially opens, and not visit a single school. So I would hope that we locked up 2-3 need players/positions and have done a good job of tampering them to Texas already.

  2. I would think with the expanded SEC rosters that Texas would take a collection of roster fill-in types that are just looking for a new opportunity as opposed to seeking maximum salary.

Moore left because of money purely. I'm relaying first hand fucking shit and you guys act like I'm saying it's my personal opinion.

I don't think tre is worth 1M, but I see how the ask started there. I also see how it went sideways when they were basically like yeah you aren't that important to the team and you are just a guy when he felt like he was putting much more into it than most guys. Thats the rub. These guys are people, they have egos, they have feelings.

This is not a very Texas attitude. We're Texas. I understand budgets and proposed rules that have not been enacted, but we are in our final Manning year. If we can't drum up significant "extra" money this year than when would we ever?

Talking to them isn't an issue. Never said it was. Glad he's checked in. Read my fucking post.

They did no ground work to set the expectations for these conversations, very very clearly.

Every program looking to win a National Championship needs a solid rushing attack to help balance out the offense. Teams that don't already have a star running

Not a single fucking player. Name one and I'll give you the kudos, but there isn't a single player on the offense that played to their standard or to the fans expectations. That includes jack entries, arch manning, wisner, Baxter, Wingo, Moore, Mosely, anyone. Name one. The closest is Livingstone?

Livingstone absolutely at least played to expectations if not exceeded it.

WIngo had a poor first half of the season then picked it up. Which coincides with Arch starting to come around.

Receiver is the position most reliant on others on offense to not suck. The QB has to not suck, and the line/TE/RBs in blocking have to not suck. A lot of the season guys were getting adequately open but Arch either wasn't able to get the ball to them or missed them. Especially the first 5 to 6 games.

Also, why would anyone think Harris isn't doing anything? There's 80+ scholarship players on the team and who knows how many potential portal agents he and his team are having to deal with now. Of course Sark is going to have to get involved in the higher profile ones. You think Sark isn't going to be involved with his starting RB, Starting LT, #1 reciever, all American DE negotiation? Or any big portal guy like a Coleman or Baugh?

This whole situation is a mess because the NCAA was neutered by the courts. You have to have a governing body to run and control things. Now the NCAA needed a major overhaul and was inefficient before, but some legitimate regulation that is enforceable and highly punitive to violate is necessary.

Because sometime the first offer might be the best offer. Happens in FA in all the major sports all the time. Ask any baseball player still looking for work right now if he wishes he might have taken a first offer somewhere. At some point in time a team moves onto guys that are willing to sign bc they have to fill a need and then the guy who didn’t sign isn’t in a bidding war but sees his number go down as more teams fill up. That’s not always what happens but it could happen and that’s why guys will sign right away.

This was Lane Kiffin during the Texas Bowl interview like 2 days ago. His GM is Billy Glasscock.

What Lane Kiffin was watching for with Blake Baker's defense in Texas Bowl

"I didn't have as much time as you think. I saw the opening kickoff with Barion (Brown) and then I had to get on the phone. Had some people calling; some agents. You know, the world we live in now.


We heard narratives like this for years in the cheating era. Not directly from the Texas coach but 995ers, insiders etc. That those greedy (street) agents are running a scam and poor little Texas doesn't want to participate. Make us OK with missing our top targets, because at least our money isn't going to greedy hangers on. It's because of those dishonest agent types that all the elite talent went to LSU, Alabama, Georgia or Ohio State. The guys Texas gets are much more desirable because they aren't greedy so they'll be program guys.

I don't know about this cycle, although I doubt anything has changed, but Sarkisian absolutely deals directly with agents. He doesn't do it exclusively, but he's very involved. He's also very involved with working with the money side.

It's almost like the program can go into the shitter when a head coach that hands on and that involved with all aspects of the program keeps over-indulging in everything a major urban area has to offer and then has to spend a key block of time somewhere out of pocket to pull his shit back together on the health and female side of his life.

If anyone is actually looking for legitimate reasons for optimism this time around, it's that Sarkisian is apparently fully locked in again and is making moves accordingly. Maybe he'll even make Junior Day and be present for OVs from key transfer targets. This could be awesome!

He was the starting running back at Texas. Is it his fault that he did everything he was supposed to for that to be the case?

You are coming at it from a really absurd angle. I get it you are already moved on and don't care that he's a real person anymore because not at Texas. I don't think he has the opinion that he's "not even an average back at the p4 level" and I don't think he's an idiot and can't see statistics. He's ranked 5th here and most lists he's top 5 in the portal. He was a 1k yard rusher in 2024 and had a coach that got fucking fired after 1 season for being shitty and running off literally the whole room. No one had the 2025 season they wanted on the offense.

Every program looking to win a National Championship needs a solid rushing attack to help balance out the offense. Teams that don't already have a star running

Not a single fucking player. Name one and I'll give you the kudos, but there isn't a single player on the offense that played to their standard or to the fans expectations. That includes jack entries, arch manning, wisner, Baxter, Wingo, Moore, Mosely, anyone. Name one. The closest is Livingstone?

The beautiful thing about watching someone subject themselves to the open market of a competitive workforce is that we're all going to find out their actual worth. If he gets $1M from someone, cool, hope it was all worth it for him torching his relationship with Texas on the way out. You can dispute that, but he'll be persona non grata to the alumni base and likely the AD, and he made that choice because he listened to the wrong people, set unrealistic expectations, and got his feelings hurt. Not showing up or telling the staff of his plans and then announcing he was out was a super smart move.

Could be how it shifted for Texas, but the breakdown was what it was.

Moore left because of money purely. I'm relaying first hand fucking shit and you guys act like I'm saying it's my personal opinion.

I don't think tre is worth 1M, but I see how the ask started there. I also see how it went sideways when they were basically like yeah you aren't that important to the team and you are just a guy when he felt like he was putting much more into it than most guys. Thats the rub. These guys are people, they have egos, they have feelings.

You keep alluding to the human side of all of this, but that is some of the fan calculus that has changed, as it should. The illusion that these guys play for a school because of some love for its story and tradition and to get a proper education, whatever vestiges of that still existed before pay for play, it's all now gone. Little kids, non-obsessive fans, and idealists like you will still get wrapped up in the whole "but he's a great person too!" side of it, but no one should expect to find it on a fan site.

This dude is a man. Not a kid. A man in his 20's, making more money than damned near any other man his age on the fucking planet. No one gives a shit about his wittle feels getting hurt. He can go rub his numerous rope chains and then weigh them on his jewelry scale to make himself feel better. And then he can go be average somewhere else, likely disappointing any program idiotic enough to pay him RB1 P4 money. He had a great offer at Texas and he could have been a key part in a big year.

This is not a very Texas attitude. We're Texas. I understand budgets and proposed rules that have not been enacted, but we are in our final Manning year. If we can't drum up significant "extra" money this year than when would we ever?

Texas will have plenty of money every year, but what do you mean by "extra"? Texas just had one of the top 3 payrolls in the country. That's likely true again in 2026. What the fuck do you want beyond that? Also, how much will you help bring in to top it off?

This guy is a player. I'd love to see Texas sign him. I doubt he costs anywhere close to whatever Coleman gets out of ATM or OU.

LOL....those dudes (except for the "All American" from Va Tech) are in their 20's. It's impossible for them to know shit about fuck.

I think it's pretty clear that agency is comprised of a bunch of kids. Their most credible and experienced, for example..

seems about as buttoned up as this guy.
