Our Florida players are doomed. Are we ever going to have one make a dent here?

OSU just lost a 5 star freshman WR too. Ffrench is 6th on the depth chart. Can’t blame him.

If that’s the case we should stop recruiting those guys. Paid him tens of thousands maybe hundreds of thousands to come to Texas for a year and he contributed absolutely nothing.

Two of them were probably going to be playing this next year. And no not just because of three guys, it’s three guys I was very high on. I’m just disappointed with everything. No point in getting excited in high school recruiting anymore. Something I had a lot of fun with.

Zima played a lot and was a likely starter next year and an NFL caliber player after that.

Wide receiver Jamie Ffrench announced he is entering the portal.

What’s hilarious is all of yall saying “I’m trusting Sark and Harris no matter what” when they are the ones who overspent on 4 HS WRs to ride the bench. Rather than pay for a decent OL to protect Arch

Yes. Highschool recruiting is not what it once was. Get your 10-15 guys and put the rest of the money to the portal.

Yay we suck less than ND. Moral victory central, we are losing Good players by the day (Zima today) and not replacing them or addressing areas of need like OL. It seems like we have a serious problem with how our GM and Player personnel departments are structured. The fact that it looks like Muschamp wasn’t informed of the Bo Barnes situation by Harris until he jumped into the portal is a problem, it never should have gotten to that point. Brandon Harris isn’t cut out for what player acquisition looks like now in College Football. If Sark doesn’t overhaul that entire org in the off season we will see continued challenges.

BTW this is not a Texas issue, this is a college football issue. Complete inability to be patient...

Makes sense, with both. Zina following neto.

Because 3 guys who don’t play are leaving??

@CJ Vogel Are we close to being done with entrants?

As he should.

There is going to be a reckoning in how big schools approach high school recruiting from this mass exodus. I'm not sure there is any point in big schools signing anywhere close to 25 high school recruits each cycle when you're virtually guaranteed to lose 10-15 of them the very next offseason. Let them go to smaller programs and then cherry pick the ones that emerge. Don't waste roster spots on freshmen who won't contribute for two years. Hoping that someone steps up and pushes college football in a different direction because this absolutely stinks.

They are purging money that is sitting on the bench. What is the problem with this? Lockett, Terry, Ffrench sitting on the bench making too much money. All the freshmen that came in got the same amount on revenue share + a signing bonus. This year they are only getting the base revenue share amount and no signing bonus. Ffrench was not a top5 receiver on the team so why pay him like a top 5? Welcome to NIL team economics.

It’s just the straw that broke the camels back. High on him and after Zina and Washington news I’m just Kinda done until things prove to get better.

Gerry has always said the kids from florida need time to develop because they are so behind Texas and other states with high school developmental programs. Ffrench wasn't willing to wait.

Wow.

Time to temper expectations for next year sheesh !!! This is embarrassing

What happens when you recruit 5 stars and give zero snaps to practically all year long. It’s either 1. Lack of opportunity, or if you say “he just wasn’t good enough to see the field” then it is 2. A horrible evaluation out of high school

None of these kids want 2nd team money. They all believe they are good enough to be starters, especially when they are guys in front of them not catching balls and not getting open. French is a big 5-star loss. Texas can't keep this up. Screw the rules. Pay over to keep your own players.

Why is Ffrench leaving your last straw?

I’ve been patient until this point but Ffrench leaving has kind of been the last straw. WTF IS GOING ON?! #TEAM DOOM

Dropping like flies
