@Gerry Hamilton when will it be announced?

We really need a hybrid TE who can be a respectable blocker and do enough as a pass catcher. Washington needs more work and hopefully one of Winston or Townsend pop, but getting a TE/H-Back who can deliver in the running game and provide value in the passing game would be huge for this team next year.

The bottom of the scholarship roster is already getting minimal NIL. 20 more flex guys who we’d be offering preferred walk ons to will be a nice luxury.

Ger-Behr, the other hi still pending too?

Texas brought in 11 players a year ago out of the portal, many are contributors – Watson, Endries, Mosley, Kanu, Spence, Brevard plus the two specialists. What I mean by overcorrection in my original post is guys like Emmanuel Pregnon, Max Klare, Eric Singleton, etc. they don't leave campus uncommitted. Texas has done well at finding value in their portal pickups lately – and don't get me wrong, that is very important. But there should be no reason to penny pinch as long as your QB is Arch Manning.

I'm also accounting for this to be the case as well.

I wouldn’t be surprised if part of that overcorrection includes more attrition than we’re used to seeing. Possibly including some big names.

We were very active in the portal last year, just didn’t get many if any difference makers. Still 🤞🏾 for Mosley and Watson to be difference makers. Another year of volume c+ level players isn’t going to cut it.

This cycle is portal or bust. If we’re “punting” on a big HS close, then Sark better roll into the portal like a Jeff Bezos drunk at an art auction. We don’t need projects. We need grown men: RB, two OL, at least one DB, a safety who can tackle, and a LB who scares people. Arch’s window is right now, not after three developmental seasons and a prayer. The difference isn’t money — it’s hitting on the buys. Spend big, evaluate better, and stop pretending last year’s portal nap was some 4D chess move. CJ basically told us it’s about to be an overcorrection — good. Overcorrect hard. Bottom line: If we don’t come out of this portal cycle with multiple instant starters, then we’re officially wasting a once-in-a-generation QB. .

Welcome Rocky.

I think he will be as well.

I think you are mostly right, but if a guy like Coleman and/or Baugh enter, you don’t need to worry about a bidding war. You get those players by any means necessary. If you add those two players, you become the favorite especially if you add a few OL and DBs too

Dude's chicks finally grow up despite Dude's attempts to plant them. Some of then get sick and he fears they have Newcastle, which could wipe out his flock. So after strangling one he sends the hen off to the A&M lab for diagnosis. The lab reports back: this chicken died from a broken neck.

Until players actually enter the portal this question is silly.

Why do they have astroturf at Kyle Field? To keep the cheerleaders from grazing.

Good. Because Arch is gonna be a monster.

Hopefully that’s mayo considering who this Hi is likely for.

Two Aggies had bagged a deer and were dragging it by the rear legs back to the truck. But the antlers kept getting stuck in the mud. One says to the other, "This is tough but we only got about 1 mile left to reach the truck." A third hunter saw their dilemma and told them, "If you drag the deer the other way, the antlers won't stick in the mud." So the Aggies give it try and it works! The first Aggie says, "That hunter was right! This way is a lot easier." The second Aggie says, "Sure was, but now we're two miles from the truck."

Dude graduates from Texas A&M school of Agriculture, goes into a farm supply store and orders two hundred chicks, explaining to the owner that he wants to start a chicken farm. Two weeks later, he returns to the store and buys another two hundred chicks. The owner is curious, but doesn't say anything. The same thing happens when the Aggie returns in another two weeks for another two hundred chicks. When he returns for the fourth time, the owner's curiosity is too much for him, so he asks the Aggie why he keeps coming back for so many chicks. The Aggie says, "Well, I guess I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what. I think I'm either planting them too deep or too close together." Bemused by his lack of success, the Aggie sends off a report of what he has done to Texas A&M, asking for advice. Three weeks later, the reply comes back, saying simply, "Please send soil sample."
