Late to the party but I’ve wondered if the best path forward for Baxter is to sit week one, get light reps during the 3 games following and be 100% by SEC opener vs UF. Thoughts?

Anthony Hill

So you were muted.

🤦‍♂️ I forgot to put the portal commit yesterday in this thread. He’s been the only visitor so far. That will change soon.

CJ, was it purely just lack of interest on Sanchez’s part towards Texas, or was it another reason he seemed to sour on TX. I mean after the last two years of playing well and developing talent, I would have thought he would have at list visited.

Not today. But definitely, yes.

CJ is live on the Winning Drive.

USA Basketball would get clobbered in international competition if they went back to old rules. That was the problem they had when the world caught up. The US just depended on size and athleticism, but they had a lack of skill. I would say go back to resetting the shot clock to a full 24, and bring back illegal defense where everyone has to guard a man.

Anything new with MT3?

Seek and destroy prototype lol. 6' 3 215 running a 4.5 in his bio. And the tape matches.

I have to go with Tim. Second in all time sacks, I believe. We shared the 40 acres. Great character! RIP

Quoting myself to get answer. If you don’t want to give me multiple questions, it’s cool though.

So you think there will be injury or beat someone out

FWIW, bonus ceiling for players taken in the 11th-20th rounds is $150K. Anything over that counts against a team's bonus pool for the first 10 rounds.

Have any walk ons stood out during Spring Ball? I know Colin Page got a little time last year when the RB room wore thin... Is Travis Shaw the front runner if healthy to take over the Bill Norton role?

I have a question for this group. Are there no rules around visits by the coach to batters? It seemed the Tech coach had a huddle with each batter that came up. I always thought the umpires were break those up after multiple visits in the same inning.

I wouldn’t think Flores would go very high in the draft. It is true though……that waiting until their senior year isn’t going to be much of a bonus at all.

Zaharias, Werchan, Sanders and O'Hara were gone before the start of the season.

My gut tells me Texas would've put up more of a fight to keep him if an upgrade wasn't on the way.

It wouldn't have been better than it was in 2024. The staff almost had to deal with a player revolt heading into the NCAA Tournament.

I'm sure he would, but Galvan and Flores (even though he didn't have a great year) would cost themselves a lot of money by not taking the signing bonus they'd get in the draft. Seniors in the draft have no leverage and sign for peanuts.

I agree 100%. Ever wondered what our record would have been if Pierce was still here?

For the sake of conversation let’s say the top 3 interior DL are Brevard, Watson, and January. Who will be the #4 to make it on the two deep out of the rest?

Williams is on the field and working out again after tearing his ACL against OU. Daniel Cruz remains to be someone that has turned heads behind the scenes. He will push for the center spot. Nothing new on Niblett who remains on the defensive side of the ball. TE room just got crowded with Townsend/Endries arriving. This summer will be a great test for Shannon as he works to carve out his role for the fall.

Any other portal guys expected to visit?
