For those complaining about the NIL costs of Camara-like linemen who may not play for a while, take a look at the tackles in the 2023 class and where they were taken in Round 1 of the recent NFL draft, the earliest they could go pro. At least five of the top 13 were first round picks - Proctor, Mauigoa, Freeling, Fano and Lomu. Maybe a couple others were taken later or will be high picks next year. These are the Kelvin Banks type guys, a couple were three year starters and all were worth the NIL price. The trick of course is to get the right guys - the first four mentioned were in the top 7 rated OT coming out of high school but what happened to the other three? (Honestly I don't know, maybe they went later, maybe they'll go high next year or maybe they washed out ... just checked, two transferred down from LSU -> Kentucky and Penn State -> UNC-Charlotte, the third swung down to OG). The point is if you have an open spot ((I think we do with both OTs leaving after next year) AND the guy looks like an early contributor then go for it. But yeah, no guarantees. As for the "get 'em in the portal" argument, those guys are rare and extremely expensive. A lot of IOL we had our sights on stayed with their school or transferred elsewhere. And Seaton was not without baggage. In Flood we trust, right guys?

Nansen is definitely the weak link.

Lawrence will make his decision almost exactly four years after some guy named Arch Manning did

I expect the pick to be Vanderbilt. This raises Caleb Siler's priority level for Texas Tech and Northwestern. Siler is now the only OT set to OV to Tech this summer and Northwestern has been extremely aggressive in the Siler recruitment and are also expected to miss on Ngokwere like Tech and Texas are.

Doubtful.

Climate change, for sure!!

Kyle Flood has been working to keep Laurence Seymore involved remotely while he finishes his degree at Western Kentucky University.

Justus Terry! Justus us his little brother! 😅 Nice article, as usual.

Great piece Jeff. I'm fired up! Hook'em!!!

Is he still expected to make his Texas OV?

I just get scared because Laurence Seymour is such an enigma. He has money. Did he hire a trainer in Miami? Where did he workout? I'm not on here as much as I'd like so I don't know how much reporting we had on him but the silence from him since he's been committed is unsettling.

Every season betting on getting a one and done like Seaton? I'm good on that. Premium positions need to be developed. I wouldn't want to get into the business of gambling on a LT jumping in the portal every year. No offense to Sorsby. I get what you're saying but that just scares me. If we don't get Camara, it's going to set us back at tackle fire the future.

Can’t spell “everything” without “NIT”

Your 4 are Kyle Flood, Coach Flood, the OL coach, and Mr. Flood

True that!

Terry had the weight room time as an 8th grader.

Really playing up his son’s NIT championship.

I’m not sure to what part of my post this response pertains. If you just wanted to reiterate the point you stated, point taken. Perhaps my post wasn’t clear, but I was merely pointing out to 4th that we have a former Beaver hanging out on our 2nd team. The inference being that our 3rd team losing to OSU would not necessarily be a problem. So what you’re saying is that Sark took a shot at a dozen teams not Tech? I guess that’s better.

Mosley could have a big year in the slot! I think Terry has put in the weight room time and will be healthy and ready to disrupt OL this season!

2028 WR from Willis (Jermaine Bishop's HS)

Somewhat of an unknown right now. Jhadyn Nelson, Izzy Hammons, Mikahi Allen are the main names of note, and only Allen is the true MLB out of that group.

Well well well I’m not the only one
