We have dead money on our OL coach but I’m sure he will get another raise at the end of the year for back to back years or crappy OL play

No dead money on the roster

Luck can play a factor too. It’s just one bad bounce of the ball in the tournament.

That will be an interesting decision ... he won't likely return for close to same the NIL deal, if returns to Texas.

Throw two bags at Biles.

Absolutely. I imagined it 20+ years ago when Jeremy Bloom was fighting his fight against the NCAA for endorsements he earned as a professional skier, where endorsements are business as usual, and the NCAA telling Colorado they had to either kick him off the team, convince him to give up his skiing endorsements, or face punishment from the NCAA enforcement arm. They decided to tell Bloom he had to give up his endorsements, so Bloom went to the NFL. It was a completely unfair system where a normal college student could earn money from social media engagement but college athletes could not. The problem is, as I reiterated over and over again to all the people who railed about the unfair system, is that there's no effective way to distinguish between legitimate income from name, image, likeness and income from people who wanted to compensate players for playing for their favorite team. There still isn't. The Alston decision completely tore down the barrier between athletes and earning compensation from third parties, thus ushering in the current era. If the Supreme Court was going to strike down NIL rules for antitrust purposes, they for sure were going to strike down eligibility issues regarding transfers. Other sports had done away with transfer restrictions several years prior. Thus, the current free agency market. At this point college sports is being run by court decisions, with all the chaos that entails. And there's no other option until there's some kind of federal legislation. Whenever that might occur in our current political climate. And guess what? Whatever comes out of congress we're not going to like, either, because that's how this stuff works.

I want it all...! 😜 🤘

Is it wrong for us to read between the lines with an Arkansas commit in your list?

He brings in a lot of $$$ for sure!

What is Connecticut's ceiling without Nik Khamenia this season?

Best pure football player in the program. Agree, but man he should go pro even if he's 3rd rounder due to size.

Yeah, its time for Jonah to make a decision on 1 sport before the decision is made for him.

He has another year!

Agree. Can use the NIL money better

More wrong. Watching Rodney Dangerfield on Carson. Goober youngsters in the comments keep asking about Dr. Vinny Boombatz. There is no Dr. Vinny Boombatz you goobers. It's a joke. I understood that at five. What's with these people?

Isn't Raleek Brown a fifth year player? What players are actually eligible to return for another year?

I don't have time to go through the whole thread, but I'm thinking: Texas 31 Tigers 23 Let's take it to em in their place. 🤘

what is the report on Tyler Atkinson? are coaches happy with him and his development?

27-17 Texas and Niblett with a PR touchdown 🤘🏼

It's free agency every year. Did anyone ever imagine this happening?

Swindle has reached Melanie Parra status - fan favorite that doesn't get the playing time the fans want to see. She gets a huge pop when she enters a match.

YES TO ALL OF THEM!😁

QB: Lacey, Bell RB: Cooper, Terry (I would evaluate the portal for an upgrade over Smothers) TE: Townsend (burn the rest to the ground) WR: Mosley, Bishop OL: Christian, Turntine, Sikorski, Coleman, Cojoe (but push him inside), try to convince Siani to come back. Look for 2-3 major upgrades in the portal DL: Geffrard, Watson, January, Terry, Sharma, Wesley, Spence, Carlton, Jackson. Look for a badass edge in the portal. LB: keep the entire core. Try like hell to convince Biles to come back DB: D Williams, Littleton, Meredith, Phillips, Davis, Matthews To me, that is an extremely strong core team to build on. Gotta try to get an elite outside receiver, an explosive RB, a dual-threat TE, 2-3 high-level OL, a badass edge, and. 1-2 proven DBs from the portal. If I’m Sark, I take a HARD look at portal QBs to see if there are any guarantees that provide an immediate upgrade over my young guys.

This was going to be one of my picks. I would add Geffrard and Cryer on defense as well. I trust that we won't lose critical young players to the portal although I do worry about Atkinson. Offensively, I would want to run it back with Wingo and Siani to go along with Manning. Again, I don't anticipate us losing any young talent on this side of the ball either. I would like to see us invest heavily on the interior of the line in the portal. We need a C and a G in the worst way. If Jackson Christian isn't good enough to unseat Roberston now in his second year, I don't want to rely on him being the guy next year. We've struck out 2 years in a row relying on Flood developing the interior line.
