Think you’re mixing up two different things: (1) how many hours UT accepts vs. (2) how many hours UT will actually apply to your major. UT doesn’t cap transfer hours at 60. You can bring in 90, 100, 117 - whatever. The issue is that UT requires 50% of your major coursework to be completed at UT, not 50% of your total hours. So the “lost” hours aren’t thrown away by policy - they just don’t fit into the degree plan because the student already used up too many major‑specific slots somewhere else. That’s why juniors get squeezed: they’ve already taken upper‑division courses that UT won’t substitute for its own major requirements. Freshmen/sophomores slide in clean. Grad transfers slide in clean. Juniors are the ones who hit the wall. It’s not a hard cap on 60 hours - it’s a major‑specific residency requirement. That’s why White targets players with two years left. It’s structural, not philosophical.

Nearly every commit we spoke to today mentioned recruiting Jhadyn Nelson away from Texas Tech. Based off other conversations, it sounds like he’s listening. We will see how Tech is able to limit the momentum here.

I cannot believe this game is starting at 8

It's good that A-Rod is hitting his stride in the postseason.

Highlights from last night's win:

Riojas will be a MONSTER on the mound tonight. He is built for these kind of high-intensity games

Gotta be Garror. If we flip Brewster it will be late.

You can’t trust that Aggie Gerry Hank you will soon understand lol

This is far and away the best information you’ll find on the Texas market

Just being true to oneself.

I read it differently, but could be wrong. Take my major at Texas, Electrical Engineering. You need 120 credits to get the BSEE. If you are say a generic junior at another school taking 30 credits per year you would typically have 90 credits (+/- a few) by the end of your junior year. Texas will accept up to 60 of them towards a Texas degree (is the way I read it) since you must do 50% at UT or 60. So basically you would lose a year's worth of credits in this example. To take it to the extreme like Sark's Ole Miss basket weaving faux pas, if you had 117 credits you would lose 57 of them in the sense they would not apply towards your Texas degree, while a school like Ole Miss might take all of them and require you to take just one more class to 'earn' your Ole Miss degree (an extreme example but Sark was making a point about why it's difficult for us to recruit juniors out of the portal). Basically any credits from other schools beyond 60 (in this engineering degree example) do indeed get "thrown away" in the sense that you aren't able to apply them towards a Texas degree, is the way I read it.

Great stuff guys! Been looking forward to hearing all the buzz coming out of the first official visit weekend 🤘🏼

How’s he gonna do that with a coconut cocktail in one hand and a mayo corndog in the other?

Gerry gonna drop Part II before the livestream tonight at 7 👀

@Bobby Burton hats off to you—you have assembled a hell of a team. This level of recruiting news and analysis is not just unmatched in the market, you’re playing a completely different sport than the rest of the field. Really awesome work this weekend, OTF team!

Great stuff Hank and Jordan clearly the Aggie Gerry and the short person CJ have given up lol kidding great stuff

Nope, he actually committed to us. A Hamiltonian "Hi" signals a silent commit.

Will echo Hank here. One source called after I got home from the airport and mentioned of all of the visitors this weekend, their biggest surprise was how well Texas is positioned for Currie. Source went on to say they believed Texas was the clear team to beat, but will see on that one.
