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?

shaping up to be another boring livestream tonight.

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.

ok for real though, wtf is going on with the OL

This is why this is a dangerous new era for a college football program Was looking at NFL Draft picks since Steve Sarkisian got to Austin. There have been 28 players selected in the NFL Draft since 2023. There are two categories I'm putting guys into in the current era or forget development, and it's portal os bust. The two categories are: Wouldn't likely have been signed out of high school, and wouldn't likely have been retained to fully develop Wouldn't likely have been signed out of high school ... Byron Murphy - no chance Texas would have signed him out of HS Jahdae Barron - very little chance to no chance Texas would have signed him out of HS. T'Vonde Sweat - not likely signed out of HS. Christian Jones - zero chance signed out of HS. Jaylan Ford - not very likely signed out of HS. Gunnar Helm - 50/50 would have been signed out of HS. Barryn Sorrell - not very likely signed out of HS. Wouldn't likely have been retained to fully develop ... Vernon Broughton - not likely retained Moro Ojomo - not likely retained Jonathon Brooks - possibly not retained. Jaydon Blue - not likely retained. Alfred Collins - 50/50 at best if retained early in career. DeMarvion Overshown - 50/50 if retained early in career. Jordan Whittington - 50/50 at best if he would have been retained after first two years.

Riojas was moved Into the weekend rotation out of necessity last year. Think the staff would rather use him in more of a stopper role where you bring him into games where the opposition is threading late in the game rather then a closer role at the very end of a game. They can use him multiple innings to close out a game or situational depending on where he is innings wise in a series. Grubbs can also give you multiple innings on the back-end as well. I'm curious to see if they go with a traditional closer or let Riojas and Grubbs close out games in multiple inning outings. The offense feels more versatile where they're not relying on the long ball as much as in previous years. On paper they look like the can score runs in multiple ways. Can't wait for the season to get Hook'em

I’m completely delusional and I’m telling my self we are getting Brunner (I’m coping)
