Great for X - he is a great kid, my son played baseball with him last 3 years at Prestonwood, the amount of mlb scouts at the games when he pitched was a sight to see. What will be interesting is the 2026 class that Texas has and who actually makes it to campus - between Grady Emerson who is predicted to go 2nd overall, trey rengel and others I can easily 4 2026 kids in Texas class signing in first few rounds - 2025 class is good, but 2026 class is crazy good

I think the problem is most fans tend to believe that everything about their program is simply superior to every other program, so if a recruit doesn’t pick them it is because of money. This is a shallow way to think. Georgia is butt hurt because they are losing culture recruits to a superior culture system and want to blame it on money. You may recall a few weeks ago many members of this board were doing the same thing. I heard a pod cast on dawg nation where they were ridiculing Tyler Atkinson’s brand AtkinUp and saying he wasn’t even that good. It was silly. I wouldn’t put much stock in what Georgia fans and even Kirby are trying to imply. They have a great program and so do we. We will win some and they will too. We just have to whip their ass this year on the field to shut them up. I’m here for that! hookem 🤘

Brina hit with a 30 piece 🤣 shooters shoot. That ruffled zeroed.

I know about the handshakes and money sandwiches but those are still very different than full out bags that were famously being dropped by SEC teams well before it became somewhat legal.

Sabrina and Allisha said we still here and we can pull it with the best of them.

Exactly!

It's just classless to me for a coach of Kirby's status to get involved in the BS. He's won championships and has the number 2 class. They spend money. I'm tired of the hypocrisy that's going on.

It’s the transfers that hurt more than the recruits

Freeman is not only a good hitter but he provides a ton of lineup versatility/flexibility. He can play OF, INF and C if necessary. Those types of players are hard to find. Ashton Larson may not provide the same power as Moroknek but Larson was very good as a freshman in the SEC. He was injured for a portion of this season. Grubbs, Luke Harrison and Riojas are returning. And some talented freshman pitchers will be here to compete. Aiden Robbins has been good in the Cape Cod league so far. Hitting around .300 with 4 HR, 6 doubles and a triple. Larson and Robbins were both selected for the Cape Cod All-Star game (Saturday, July 19th)

Happens when a teams has good recruits. Good luck to ALL the recruits that go Pro.

Happy for Alfred and his family. He could of bailed for a more opportune situation when he was passed over or when Bo left, but he kept working and gets rewarded with generational wealth.🤘

Any thoughts on the possible replacement?

Also big props to @Jeff Howe for pointing out that all fanbases engage in such thinking - when we get a commit, it's because of the program and the relationships, when "they" get the commit it's the bags. Many of us did it (myself included) when Ojo committed to Tech. It's just human nature, but not used to seeing such intellectual honesty in a discussion of SEC football 🤘😉 Edit: To be clear, we're fortunate that we have mods that don't go beyond matter-of-fact statements about larger NIL deals during these discussions and not equating players taking those deals to moral failures.

Everyone including Texas have been dropping “bags” for a long time. Had buddies of mine get “handshakes” in the 70s.

Wasn’t there just an article about how explosive he was and that he was going to be another Kamara just a few weeks ago? Maybe let’s not pay attention to those offseason random takes.

This article is out of pocket, my my favorite pastime is hating the Cowboys. I've been following Blue since rookie mini camp and everyone I've read, listened to, or watched spoke of how impressed they were with Blue. One bad article is an anomaly not the norm. If Dallas doesn't want him, they're free to cut him after preseason being the 5th round picks have to make the roster and I bet he'll be picked up faster than when hit turned the corner on Clemson.

Freeman is the one that hurts. That made a dent for sure. The rest are manageable.

Was a matter of when, not if… unfortunately.

Every single one you listed is gone.

People already hated Texas. Bring it on.

I broke it down like this to a buddy of mine who’s a fan of opposing team. Texas was a sleeping giant getting rocks thrown at them for close to 15 years, Now the giants awake, NIL is legal, Texas is a very profitable brand, So now the excuses and “he only went there because they paid him” has started. Don’t hate the player, Hate the game.

Bobby still coming with fire this week…

Don’t disagree but when politicians (whichever party) inject themselves into the middle of our sport it makes it more difficult.

The person I read the most on these topics is Ross Dellenger of Yahoo. He is absolutely dialed in. He seems to think that an EO will do nothing more than establish the CSC. After that, it’s not much meat.
