An On3 article said early schools to watch are Arkansas, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Georgia and Kentucky.

Dang going 54-4 is no joke especially up in FW area.

Perhaps people have overreacted to a case that happened ten years ago. Jaylon has no draft stock to preserve. He needs to go play and have a good game against a good team.

any shot we go for the 5 star freshman guard from LSU that started 5 games? Carius Curne? maybe as a 3rd or 4th guy? or two much $$ for not enough proven production?

Some of yall jumping on here to bash or down talk a kid or doubting his chances of making it in the league is wild. Let him have his moment and declare after he gave us 3-4 years without all this negativity.

Jerry drafted him in the second round when he couldn't feel or move his foot. Took him 2 years to recover.

5 year contract

Jaylon Smith, Cowboys LB

The state does that on its own

Right now the résumé reads: solid production, great build, tape still loading. That’s not a red flag — that’s the exact window where staying another year turns leverage into money.

100% another year of production could elevate him to a top 50 pick (it’s always hard to project the players to the first round unless they are consensus top 10 level player.

While motives don't make this a sound move, most Big 12 programs aren’t opting in because they think borrowed cash magically turns them into a SEC team. They’re doing it because standing still in the NIL era is the fastest way to fall behind permanently. If you can’t retain starters, plug portal holes, or keep coaches from getting poached, you don’t even get to compete for the conference, let alone sniff a playoff. You need enough liquidity to stay relevant: retain core players, avoid roster collapse, stay bowl/playoff-adjacent, and protect media value. Bad idea if the goal is “borrow to become Ohio State, Georgia, or Texas.” Much more defensible if the goal is “borrow to avoid irrelevance while the sport sorts itself out.” This isn’t Big 12 bravado. It’s Big 12 triage.

Good, Burke will prove them wrong and Jelani can come back with Kanu and Wisner and roll some MF’ers hard next year. Best of luck to Mr. Guilbeau, unfortunate he didn’t shine at CB but is a talented star, physical run defender, and might translate well into a safety and special teams force in the NFL.

I think jaylon Smith. A lb the cowgirls drafted a while back

Kanu isn’t some fringe guy hoping a good pro day and a sympathetic scout get him a combine invite. He’s already got the NFL body and the traits teams drool over. The issue isn’t if he’s draftable — it’s how early.

Which player was this

Looks like Ashton Judd is going to play some tonight ( Wednesday). Bri Preston the next game.

This is just stupid and bad business on behalf of the big 12 and schools that opt in imo. They should only do this if they stand a chance at going deep in the playoffs and winning. No school in the big 12 stands a chance of building a roster complete enough to truly compete even with borrowed money. They simply won’t be able to win enough NIL battles to field a complete and competitive roster. They may be able to field one to win the big 12 and that’s about it.

Agree with Townsend...

Nick Townsend and E. Winston have more upside than Endries IMO.

Or, that is a true statement if you are a sure fire first rounder.......think Banks.................. If you are a 5-6-7 rounder or camp player, maybe a 'kick-ass' bowl game would improve your stock.

Jaylon Guilbeau was a tweener who got asked to be three different things over four years. Corner early, Star later, some nickel responsibilities sprinkled in. That’s not always a recipe for clean development or eye-popping tape, especially when the room keeps getting reloaded with blue-chippers. Was this his best year? No. And yeah, the coverage tightened up when rotations changed late. But context matters: he was a willing tackler, played special teams, and did the dirty work without drama. Coaches trusted him to line up correctly, which doesn’t show up in mock drafts but absolutely matters on Sundays.
