How is NIL not decided by the schools? Who else decides it?

Wild card recruitment ... as I have said. The source, which is very close to LW-C, said Texas "absolutely" has a chance. He also said A&M has the relationships advantage. I believe a key part of this recruitment is ... the NIL piece of this is not decided by schools. That will be impactful.

Spiegelman told me Texas was nothing more than an afterthought on Arch Manning. We all get things wrong, so I’m not throwing stones. But that was a pretty big one IMO.

Sam Speigelman has a article out this morning that says Texas leads. Texas leading for blue-chip RB target Elite running back Landen Williams-Callis wrapped up a busy stretch of official visits this weekend at Texas. The Longhorns got the final crack at the nation’s No. 3 RB from Richmond (Texas) Randle, who previously hit SMU, Houston, Indiana, LSU, Oregon, and Texas A&M. It’s my belief that Williams-Callis ultimately plays somewhere inside the state on Saturdays. Houston, SMU, and Texas A&M are all in pursuit of the blue-chipper. From speaking to multiple sources plugged in on this recruitment, intel points to Texas being near the top of this list. I am moving closer to moving my prediction from the Aggies to the Longhorns for Williams-Callis. If a decision were made today, I believe Texas would be the choice. After returning to Austin a second time this offseason, sources believe Williams-Callis was bullish about his fit alongside Derrek Cooper in the Horns’ backfield. A decision is expected to be locked in during July or by August, before his senior season gets underway.

Thank you for explaining his tweet to this old man. That context makes it make sense!! 🤘🤘🤘

Texas a&m doing all of that just to have a 0-2 coach against us

Landen Williams-Callis Update OnTexasFootball spoke to a source close to the recruitment of star running back Landen Williams-Callis this morning. The word on the Richmond (Texas) Randle record-setting runner fell in line with what we have heard in recent weeks, and yesterday. This recruitment is less predictable than some, to say the least. Taking eight official visits will always create more questions around a recruitment. The source said this is a recruitment in which relationships with LW-C, and as important the close circle around him will be very impactful. That's not to say NIL won't be key too, as nobody is going to put heads in sand. The length of relationships and depth of relationships has given Texas A&M an edge for a while. He made an OV June 12-14. When I asked if Texas has a chance, a quick answer was "absolutely". Texas has/is working to make up ground in relationships with the change at RB coach from Choice to Scott to Juluke. Steve Sarkisian is involved in this one, as much as he can be. The visit over the weekend helped Texas in terms of relationships with the close circle. Oregon also has a legit shot, as we have been reporting. The source called Houston the "sleeper" in this recruitment as well. The circle, led by uncle and former NFL Pro Bowl safety Michael Lewis, have plenty of experience with recruiting and most importantly player/coach relationships. LW-C has experienced shoulders to lean on in this process. The source also said LW-C does plan to announce before his senior season (likely in July, as of today), but is also taking a patient approach to not rushing a quick decision. Texas A&M should be considered the favorite, with Oregon, Texas and Houston in the upset position.

LSU immediately accepted Gary Burney Jr.'s flip (Gary Burney Jr. said: “I have been waiting for this) the exact same weekend Royal wrapped up Royal's highly successful Texas trip. Easton Royal replied sending a calculated message (Uh oh)

Ian Armstrong is a projected 1st round pick & that’s what Texas is looking at. It doesn’t matter where he’s coming from. St. Mary’s beat UCLA twice this past season.

Got this one recently!

Don't be surprised if it's Smu

New add 29/75

Sorrrrry. (...but maybe such is the plight of the vagabond one-year portal mercenaries, their names are not going to be etched in stone, only in the checkbook)

Aiden Robbins?

Dillion McGee will announce his commitment June 24th 7pm DeSoto High School.

The super chat off tonight was highly entertaining - thank you @Gerry Hamilton @Rod Babers 😆

Still feels weird to get excited about transfers from Saint Mary's and Kent State, but Aiden Robinson made me believer.

If we get another OF Pack would play CF. He’s more than capable

I was just making the hoke the Aggies liked to throw around about us before, that we weren't "SEC" ready and the players we recruited weren't "SEC" ready either. But I agree with your points.

Player of the year: Lorelei Gamble The junior catcher from Dripping Springs bashed 23 home runs this season, making her one of the top power hitters in the country — the Texas Longhorns commit led the nation in homers for half the season. She earned District 26-6A MVP honors after hitting .574 with 60 RBIs, 12 doubles and four triples along with her homers. She also scored 34 runs and was walked intentionally 30 times. Player of the year finalists: Weiss INF Jordynn Booe, Leander OF Rachel Grundei, Smithville P Addison Otto, Hutto INF Kaelyn Price May be behind a paywall, but will post the AAS link anyway https://www.statesman.com/sports/high-school/softball/article/high-school-softball-2026-all-central-texas-team-22295644.php

Double post

Did somebody say they're hiring a high historian?

I believe we are at 6 outstanding Hi's

Yes, Texas is looking for multiple outfielders in the portal.

With this pickup does it mean we would still be after the Oregon outfielder? Because then you would have 3 corner outfielders and not one true center fielder?
