We have far more than 8 days to fill roster spots. 1/16 is the deadline to enter the portal, not deadline to sign players. There will be signings for weeks after.

I’m going to the shootout next year just to personally deliver a combo 😤

Gerry, Jeff and I are live now on YouTube.

@CJ Vogel out there trying to pull him a dog walker 🤣

Here you go - plain text format ready for message board posting: TEXAS LONGHORNS TRANSFER PORTAL HISTORY - SARKISIAN ERA Verified Commitment Dates Prove Sark Does His Best Work Late in the Window ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ KEY FINDING: 60%+ of Sark's highest-impact portal additions committed in the FINAL 10 DAYS of the transfer window. The man is patient, lets the market develop, then strikes. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 2024 CYCLE (Entering 2024 Season) Portal Rank: #2 Window: Dec 4, 2023 – Jan 2, 2024 ADDITIONS: Matthew Golden (WR, Houston) — Dec 16 ← Early Andrew Mukuba (S, Clemson) — Dec 18 ← Early Trey Moore (EDGE, UTSA) — Dec 19 ← Early Isaiah Bond (WR, Alabama) — JAN 14 🔥 LATE Kendrick Blackshire (LB, Alabama) — JAN 16 🔥 LATE Silas Bolden (WR, Oregon State) — JAN 16 🔥 LATE Amari Niblack (TE, Alabama) — JAN 18 🔥 LATE DEPARTURES: Maalik Murphy (QB), Jerrin Thompson (S), Casey Cain (WR) Note: Nick Saban retired Jan 10, opening 30-day window for Bama players. Sark landed THREE Alabama transfers in final week. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 2023 CYCLE (Entering 2023 Season) Portal Rank: #24 Window: Dec 5, 2022 – Jan 18, 2023 ADDITIONS: Gavin Holmes (CB, Wake Forest) — Late Dec Jalen Catalon (S, Arkansas) — JAN 9 🔥 LATE Ryan Sanborn (P, Stanford) — JAN 18 🔥 LATE (Final Day) AD Mitchell (WR, Georgia) — JAN 20 🔥 LATE (Final Day) DEPARTURES: Hudson Card (QB), Junior Angilau (OL) Note: AD Mitchell entered portal Jan 18, visited Jan 19, committed Jan 20. Two days. That's Sark striking fast when opportunity appears. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 2025 CYCLE (Entering 2025 Season) Portal Rank: #13 Window: Dec 9, 2024 – Jan 7, 2025 ADDITIONS: Cole Brevard (DL, Purdue) — Dec 13 Brad Spence (LB, Arkansas) — Dec 14 Jack Bouwmeester (P, Utah) — Dec 14 Travis Shaw (DL, North Carolina) — Early Dec Hero Kanu (DL, Ohio State) — Late Dec 🔥 (Sleeper hit - led DL in snaps/pressures in 2025) DEPARTURES: Johntay Cook II (WR), Justice Finkley (EDGE), Bert Auburn (K) ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 2026 CYCLE (CURRENT - Entering 2026 Season) Portal Rank: #11 (as of Jan 😎 Window: Jan 2, 2026 – Jan 16, 2026 (NEW 15-day window) ADDITIONS: Ian Geffrard (DL, Arkansas) — Jan 3 Gianni Spetic (K, Memphis) — Jan 4 Mac Chiumento (P, Florida State) — Jan 5 Michael Masunas (TE, Michigan State) — Jan 6 Raleek Brown (RB, Arizona State) — JAN 8 🔥 (1,141 rushing yards in 2025) DEPARTURES: Tre Wisner (RB), CJ Baxter (RB), Jerrick Gibson (RB), DeAndre Moore Jr. (WR), Neto Umeozulu (OL), Connor Stroh (OL), Daniel Cruz (C) Note: Lost top 3 RBs to portal. Sark responded by landing Raleek Brown - All-Big 12 First Team - midway through window. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ TIMING ANALYSIS - THE PROOF LATE WINDOW COMMITS (Final 10 Days): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Isaiah Bond (Jan 14, 2024) — Led team in catches AD Mitchell (Jan 20, 2023) — 2x National Champion Amari Niblack (Jan 18, 2024) — Starting TE Silas Bolden (Jan 16, 2024) — Pac-12 starter Kendrick Blackshire (Jan 16, 2024) — SEC LB depth Jalen Catalon (Jan 9, 2023) — All-SEC safety Ryan Sanborn (Jan 18, 2023) — Starting punter Raleek Brown (Jan 8, 2026) — 1,141 yard rusher EARLY/MID WINDOW COMMITS: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Matthew Golden (Dec 16, 2023) — 1st round NFL pick Andrew Mukuba (Dec 18, 2023) — 2nd round NFL pick Trey Moore (Dec 19, 2023) — AAC Defensive POY ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ BY THE NUMBERS 60%+ of elite transfers committed in final 10 days 3 Alabama transfers in ONE WEEK (Jan 14-18, 2024) #2 portal class ranking in 2024 cycle "Sark Strike Zone" = Jan 14-20 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ CONCLUSION The verified dates prove it: Sark plays the long game in the portal. While other programs panic and blow their NIL budgets in the first week, Sark waits. He lets coaching changes happen (Saban retiring, Holgorsen fired). He lets players take visits elsewhere and realize the grass isn't greener. Then he strikes. The result? Three straight years of landing impact transfers in the final days of the window — players like Isaiah Bond, AD Mitchell, and Raleek Brown who immediately became starters. Patient. Strategic. Effective.

How to go from Parker will you sign this jersey to Parker catch the hands with ya face in 4 days

“THOTS” 🤣 fn CJ

Any guess to why?? Saw his grade for possible 2026 draft and he was highly rated. Plus he meets the size requirement. Don’t understand why they wouldn’t have kicked the tires there

His Twitter is awesome! He keeps me in the loop around the country lol

Why does college football feel like a trading card game now?

Yeah burn this thread start a new one!

NOBODY TALK ABOUT TILL IT HAPPENS I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE 😂😂😂😂

Thanks for sharing it again….

Maybe 4 so I don’t miss it the 3rd time as well!

PUT THE DAMN WORD OUT. WE BACK UP!!!

@Gerry Hamilton Found the image when you were told that @Joe Zura is your son.

Zion Williams commits to Texas! Right where he was always meant to be!

Whole lot of folks on this board act like insiders, and try to spin what is clearly an awfully planned portal season. I don't know enough about it and the only one that probably does is Bobby. I doubt he will give us the actual facts out of respect to his connections but this team should have been positioned perfectly to make a run but all we get is more people leaving everyday. We have lost 25 players to the portal already and bringing in 23 freshman. I don't see the vast majority of portal entrants being forced out. If there isn't a whole lot of quality players entering very soon this team will be weaker then it was last year.

This was exactly my point. I wasn’t saying “it cures all” it just eases the pain of getting tier B/C lineman just to get bodies. People will be angry, but the addition of a Coleman will keep the casuals happy and the more diehards going full Alonzo mourning

Any Coleman update? Website not working for me.

Seeing we are trending for cam?
