They are going to take as many swings as they need dependent on the number of portal entrants and draft declarations. If the mods are really expecting 20+ entrants, don't be surprised to see them take some depth at key positions (on top of the obvious studs). Moving to 105 allows more portal action this year.

He's not leaving ND with the recruits they just brought in. That #2 class was a who's who of former NFL players sons'. He was too close to the natty to dip.

My obvious ones are the Niblett punt returns and Arch’s run vs A&M. I have a few random plays that I personally loved 1) McDonald goes Vince Carter for the INT vs SHSU 2) Hill stuffing the OU RB who thought he was going to run him over 3) Mosley toe tap TD vs MSU 4) Wingo taking it to the house first play vs Vandy

I will be truly sad if it ever goes to 24 teams. That is just trash. We can have no bowl games with 4 teams for all I care.

My first home game in forever didnt disappoint 🙂 This Arch to DMO td was 🤘🔥 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRYG_0OkdyK/?igsh=MWh6NjV4ZWNrdnkzbQ==

24 Teams. No Bowl games. Or 16 teams. No Bowl Games.

A lot of people are saying the MState Mosley TD. If we're opponent agnostic, I can see that. That play still has a little bit of embarrassment for me that we needed that level of a play to beat MState.

Arch up the gut against aggy. That's after me taking crap from aggies I know saying that Arch was a bust.

This portal cycle is already screaming one thing: availability ≠ fit. There’s a lot of movement, a lot of names, and a lot of folks getting excited because a recruiting profile exists. But Texas shouldn’t be shopping for interesting—we should be shopping for transformative. As Bobby and Gerry like to say: is the juice worth the squeeze? If the answer isn’t “this fixes a real problem immediately,” keep scrolling. A rotational DT who looks like three guys we already have? No squeeze. A WR who replicates what’s already in the room? Minimal juice. An OL who can’t move people off the ball? We’ve seen that movie. The only portal additions that matter right now are: trench players who change the physical tone a RB who actually scares defenses veterans who reduce downside, not add learning curves This is Arch’s window. Not a rebuild. Not a science experiment. Take fewer swings. Make them violent.

I do not care if we get weaker non con games as a result. I am PERFECTLY fine with Texas scheduling 3 non con tune ups before SEC play. Has worked wonders for seemingly everybody else. I never ever ever ever want to see a 24 team playoff or 8-4 teams included. The whole AP top 25 getting in is an absolute joke. We will see plenty of nice non con games in the playoffs.

Caldwell’s Miss St TD pass in OT

The final sack on Mateer at the end of the OU game. Believe it was Brad Spence who initially chased him down then Lance Jackson who smoked him at the end.

Arch to Parker TD bomb at OSU

Niblett vs Miss St. punt return

Arch up the gut vs TAMU. That one and the Niblett punt return vs OU are future jumbo tron material

Niblett punt return against OU.

If 9-3 is the minimum requirement, guess what that means? You’ve now enticed more teams to schedule less vigorously in the non-conference. People need to consider that increasing the number of playoff participants that will ultimately jockey for position. The more that are jockeying for position with a such a qualifier, the fewer risks more teams will take. So maybe a borderline top 20 team contemplates playing Georgia. Why when that’s a 25% chance at a win? Or a Tennessee in the SEC, says no way am I scheduling anyone worth a damn. Ironically enough, a talking point for playoff expansion encourages tougher scheduling. Look how long that took to question that belief. Think of all the middle tier conference teams that they think they’d have a shot at 16 or 24. You are not incentivizing them to have more difficult schedules. There are reasons college football has the greatest regular season that lasts 3 months. So many willing to sacrifice for the hope of one good month. Keep chasing that perfect solution that doesn’t exist. Actually 2005 was about perfect, never to be seen again.

He’s also only a sophomore. Could have him a couple more years.

Yes please Wonder If Kenny Baker has any relationship from his time at Western Kentucky

We need a big body to clog up running lanes while also providing some disruption. We have that Purdue —> Texas DT pipeline going, so seems like a good fit.

Get that Purdue to Texas pipeline going🤘😭

You have my attention. Harkless recorded 3 sacks this season at 6-3, 345. 10 pressures from up the middle would have been tied for 2nd on this year's Texas DL.

Dang it CJ get out there and find us some guards!

For what it's worth, I have been keeping a running list of prospects who have announced portal intentions that I believe to needle moving targets for Texas. I've yet to add any offensive linemen to that list. Obviously this isn't an exact science, nor is it indicative of what Texas will do. But as of now, I don't see any big time needle moving players so far that would be immediate plug and play options for Texas on the interior. If and when those players enter, I will make sure mention who I believe to be immediate options.
