I wouldn't say we're building a team through the portal right now. We have taken 13 new commitments to date, the second lowest in the top 10. You have teams like Penn St. taking 35+ (so far), LSU at 26, and so on. We're entering an era where this is just the reality, and I still believe we're doing it the right way. It's going to be a balance, and in the next couple of years, a pattern will emerge that validates methods; we just aren't there yet. Losing Brooks hurts, and it's easy to blame Flood, but it may just be a sign of the times.

Like this.

You sumbitch, you making me crash on my deadline.

lord forbid an injury

How many of those guys would've been portal targets after a year or two at another school though?

That’s hot garbage even if Seaton comes to Texas. Brooks is a starter at tackle the year after next. Could be a starter at guard if no portal pickups come in.

How many of those would you be confident in playing against Ohio State week 2 of 2026? I count 3-4. Sikorski is unknown but seems capable. So go 4. Boy that’s sobering

I need a f***ing JALEN PITRE DAWG on this roster

Got it, so 9 outside of the freshmen. Any outside of Cojoe that have a shot to start?

you called, @Rocky P?

Just curious, how did you embed that Gif? Thanks.

and foolish fans for continuing to spend millions on merchandise while Jerry is laughing all to the bank.

Does that make him a Dork?

Spot on

Do guys like these fill up indianas roster and that’s why they’re undefeated playing for a natty?

Yeah. I don’t really know the rationale behind it. It’s wild. Currently, football kids can technically play in 9 games and redshirt. 4 regular season games + conference championship + 4 CFP games, but obviously very rare circumstance. Really no idea where the 9 came from.

How many OL do we even have? Like 5?

I think you would be surprised how many players on this roster are being, and have been, recruited, especially ones with the upside of Brooks. Other teams have money and room for longer development curves to play immediately.

I get not retaining everyone, especially at positions where you can reload every year through the portal (like WR for example). But you gotta retain some guys. I really don't like Brooks leaving. I really don't. Bo Barnes too.

All true. However, there is a third category “Players Texas could’ve acquired in the Portal anytime they wanted to”, and (conveniently) all of those players above would fall into this category. Problem solved! 😂

I find this a dangerous game to play especially with Brooks entering the portal today. He had been mentioned as someone the staff really liked, but rather than pay him to keep and develop they let him walk. I like how 2026 is shaping up but beyond that is not looking all that great. I cannot help but think Sark is loading up for 2026 and then he'll head to the NFL with Arch after this season.

The value of the mid 4 star level prospects and high 3 star is all but gone. No one wants to sit and develop anymore, nor are some schools willing to let these guys develop. Just seems like a very volatile new age in college football.
