For me, the real headline from this NFL draft is that only 4 players from FCS level were drafted…and 2 of those 4 players were from North Dakota State (who is moving up to FBS this season). What is shows is that economics are driven college football more and more into a true Major league and Minor leagues structure. Talent will always flow to the top conferences - and increasingly the lower leagues will be devoid of elite talent (NFL-worthy talent). I have not seen the analysis yet, but it would be fascinating to see the number of NFL draftees by school originally attended out of high school (instead of the college where they played their final season before getting drafted). This would be incredibly revealing. For example, Tech had 9 players drafted, but 8 of those players were transfer via portal from other schools, and only 1 was recruited to Texh from high school. This is why the number of players drafted for the Big 12 is surprisingly high…they can source players from G5 or FCS that are talented enough to get drafted.

Wasn't that their schedule last year, and ASU beat them?

Has not been a good off season. I try to stay out of these threads attacking our coaches and players. I like Vic, my niece played for him back in the day when he was really tough and she loves him. I think he is a great coach and bugs me when we attack our own when it gets a little tough. All fan bases the same I know. I think we will be better than you all think next year. We will see. Final Four 2 years in a row and No. 1 recruiting class does not suck in my opinion. Hook Em And you may be accurate on the Dumb part, LOL

Neither. It’s tbd. Addition by subtraction is a real thing. We don’t know if the ones that left are a value add to another team as much as we don’t if the incoming amazing class can gel from the beginning. Basketball might be the easiest sport for freshmen to have an immediate impact. Texas didn’t bring in anyone that the interwebs wanted but I’m not sure whom Vic missed out on that is crushing. Maybe he believes the new class is better than those exiting? Maybe he is stubborn and losing his touch with the current generation? TBD

“Yall” want tea and/or reasons to make sense of the mass exodus that occurred not x/o. Enough has been alluded to and it’s nothing more than human conflict for whatever reasons. Vic probably needs to adjust some of his approach to 2026 while commits need to have the EI to play for a non flexible coach. Staff probably should have said something even if it’s to say we aren’t going to comment but it’s merica in 26. You’ll get what you get and you’ll like it. Also, they may have replied but I’m not scrubbing 25 pages of screenshots and dear Abby. I got one that ignores anything I ask and one that can’t reply to email even with no comment but I’m just a subscriber. South has been great in replying and overall this staff is still better than most. Probably time to lock this one and move on to how they’ll gel under Vic vs sky is falling speculation.

let’s take the lesser talent at oline? man that should be the premium position we pay for

Does PrizePicks have a betting line on the number of games Sorsby will play in a Tech uniform? I'll use the code

Dumb. That has nothing to do with where they presently stand. Who turned on them? We haven’t mopped up the portal and others have gotten better? Agree or disagree?

Rori is making that roster. She played super well in the preseason game and nobody defends the PG like she does.

The Gaston interview released a few days ago doesn't help either. They didn't make it sound like it was very fun to play for Vic and staff.

I bet 🤭 ... I mean I predict he doesn't single game this year.

Nah not fully, prize picks, dk pick 6, under dog, Kalshi, dk predictions, FanDuel picks and others are available

Gerry has been saying for months we probably take 4 and 5 at the most in the OL. We already have 2 interior players. Priorities now are OT. The Westlake player is likely the center in the class

...but prop betting isn't, just ask @Blake Munroe!

what happened here? seems like He was a lean for a long time. hard to be impressed with kyle flood in development and recruiting these days.

Isn’t sports betting illegal in Texas as well?

Basically, can they win these games w/o Joey on the sidelines between a portal qb and Hammond returning?

If you're a tech, wouldn't you take that deal in a heartbeat?! ( For the right quarterback, and given their schedule)

Because it’s the same for every sport people follow. 95% of the off-season is made up “what-if” drama.

95% of this is drama. Why would they weigh in? Gossip? Campfire story? Reassurance it’ll all be okay? lol It is what it is and Vic will either make it work or some of his luster will thin out.

If they had any sense they'd be looking for the people who ratted him out in Ohio - specifically Cincinnati, since Sorsby left there on bad terms. He's currently being sued by UC for $1 million for breach of contract, plus Cincy plays in the same conference as Tech so would love to stick it to them. They would be in a much better position to know about his gambling than people in Austin. Texas doesn't really care much about what goes on in Lubbock. Wonder what the over/under is on Kalshi for his possible suspension? I'd guess half the season, though I wouldn't bet on it. It's a clever move to play the addiction card and head to rehab early - improves his chances at avoiding a permanent suspension. If I had to bet I'd say justice demands the lifetime ban but wouldn't surprise me to see him weasel out given CC's money and a possible favorable venue for a trial.

They’ll still win 10+ regular season games and the conference championship because no one in the league can compete with them from a talent and NIL standpoint, but they’ll be one and done in the CFP again most likely.

Yep , making final four two years in a row sucks. Damn we turn on our own way too fast.
