It sucks, but it is early, things can change. I think Kirby saw this one coming and called out usc and their NIL pay structure at the sec meetings. Can't blame a local kid from wanting to stay home. Congrats. Sark and staff will stay on him and if the door cracks open, we'll have as good a chance as any for the flip.

Recruiting is even more volatile now, especially with NIL deals factoring in. Though I do hope the young man realizes that taxes are quite high in Cali, so if they are throwing that kind of serious money around, you need to factor in your taxes. Now, as for him going to USC, well I don't get it outside of the money angle. If that's all it is, I don't think the commit will stick. I'd say with 90% certainty that this staff sticks on him to get him to flip.

Jeff, do you have a clue as to how Gasparino's once hot bat went ice cold? It was almost a surprise that he made solid contact again. He is too solid in CF to take out of the lineup, but early season his bat was a feature, not a glitch.

Maybe sit recruiting out. It’s just a game. We’re going to “lose” others we think are Texas and gain some we didn’t. We should always celebrate a commitment while crossing our fingers. 80+% stay with Texas after committing. If it’s a true blue chip, folks give themselves a little hope with December dreams. Ain’t rocket science. This dude is gone I think as even ga fans are befuddled. Money is money to a lot of people. Though it’s not my primary motive, I don’t begrudge it even when I don’t understand it. He would have made top money at ga or Texas so that check must have been heavy. Good for Texas having limits. Money is finite regardless of what fans think.

It won't last.

And bag game comes way back into the picture to bypass those rules and such. You also can’t tell an athlete what they’re worth SCOTUS has made that clear and any intention to limit will be met. I’ll believe there is an enforcement process and legit penalties when I see them because they haven’t existed except for one time with SMU.

That QB is Quinn Grovey! Look him up. Good player!

That’s the problem

What does Duke help.

Pretty hilarious that Texas and OU would have the top 2 DLs in the SEC after only one season in the conference. SEC old timers must be cringing at the notion that two former Big 12 schools can come in and take over the SEC’s primary calling card (DL play). ”SEC ready”?? Apparently so.

If the SEC (or NCAA) implements a legit enforcement process - such as the proposed NIL deal valuation validation by PWC - than Texas will be just fine in the post-House settlement world. And bogus NIL deals like the garbage we’re seeing now by USC, Miami, and Aggy won’t be allowed in the future. Let’s see how the House settlement is implemented.

Depends on if the house settlement goes through soon

It’s worked so far, but one year the slow play, late flip philosophy will not work.

Bowman is all NIL you would think…I don’t see Lincoln Riley developing and putting TE’s in the league. If it were me, I’d get the hell out of California with their high cost of living and high taxes…. But then again Bowman comes from $$$ and I suppose that doesn’t faze them. I’m not a huge Heze Kent fan… I think he’ll simply get too big, but who knows. I’ll trust Sark to get it right in the end. Long way to go until December.

USC has some deep Alum pockets if Riley can get into them.

Is there a big football trophy for taking over CFB in LA?? I mean besides whatever prize is given to the annual UCLA vs USC winner?

Just unbelievable that at this level the guy in the on deck circle does not know he is that home plate basepath coach.

Thank you. I thought I heard Moreland.

These two have been mentioned a lot and have OVs set to Texas in June Hezek Kent, TE, Brunswick (Ga.) High OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star++ Note: OTF believes Texas leads Also # 2 or 3 TE on 247 - Jun 20, 2025: O. Visit Kaiden Prothro officially visits Texas Longhorns

Kaiden Prothro and Heze Kent

Who else are we recruiting at TE? Seems like we've put a lot of eggs in Bowman's basket.

How is it a whiff when Texas and Georgia said we are not paying what you want?
