Great post, thanks for the insights. Couple of questions, if you can generalize without indicating who the player was. How much NIL/Revenue Share did he end up with? How was that split? Did the school get involved with the NIL part or just hook him up with the NIL dudes? What level of player was he? I assume he was a starter. Did he make All-Conference? All-America? Honorable Mention anything? Just trying to get a feel for what value coaches put on performance. "now playing professionally" - NBA or elsewhere? If you don't feel comfortable answering these Q's I understand. Thanks

Fair question! It's certainly something I brought up, but not a top priority for him at that season of his life. Honestly, I'm willing to bet most of these guys who are at the level we're recruiting aren't thinking about alumni bases. He had a few texts from alumni of various teams who were now professional basketball players, and that was of interest.

Done!

I am curious, did the almuni network or opportunities as an alum ever come into the conversation? I look at Texas and think there are long term benefits for a athlete who stays loyal to the school.

I think we may have our answer on this one.

Black Gideon is funnier.

Yes he is!!

Is black Gideon coming back?

Well we have @Joe Zura for the Oregon updates so don’t forget about him

This has Will Muschamp written all over it

Honestly clicking on either Bobby/Gerry/Cj/Jeff's profiles gives you all the comments they made and let's be honest, the mods are the only one that provide real intel on what's going on

You can follow Bobby, Gerry, CJ, Jeff, etc. for updates on new threads. If you’re on the web browser versus on mobile, there’s a feed on the right side of the screen that shows popular posts within threads. Would love to hear other ways folks track info, too.

I’m an old but new to OTF. What’s the best way to view the new/hot tidbits?

Literally 🤦‍♀️🤣💀

He hasn’t officially entered the portal yet

How bout Derrick Dockery? Jake was ok though. Definitely better then Robertson or Cole. Majors took a lot of blame which should have been directed at the guards beside him.

Great point about Coleman! He’s been there, done that with being the best player on the team but being surrounded by mediocrity. He’ll be ready for some good competition. Also, I’m betting Coleman will be willing to take less pay (if it’s in the ballpark) to be on an elite team with the right QB.

Yes tisk tisk

Update: Parker also signed w Lift at same time as Trey, however I didnt even include him because I knew he shared agents w Quinn, and thought no way he would ever leave Texas…shame on me 🤦‍♀️ 3/5 new Lift clients have now portaled. Time will tell for Niblett and Vasek.

Great stuff!! Hopefully a great receiver will see having other great receivers will help them. Cam Coleman has already had to be the best receiver and knows how hard it is when the others aren't on the same level.

Guys anyone know if Texas requires their NIL athletes to sign a NDA (non-disclosure agreement)? I would think it would be standard business but I hear reports (accurate or not) about players talking about how much NIL money they’re making.

Great info
