Joe and Gerry's latest convo

Hearing about more two year NIL offers this year. Is Texas doing this yet?

Great stuff dad

Any back story as to why he’s no longer on espn?

A few Thursday AM recruiting notes A few quick hitters to get the day started. Marcus Fakatou, EDGE/DL, Chatsworth (Calif.) Sierra Canyon - Still the same. Ohio State slight leader over Texas. At least two family members like the idea of Texas with the idea of moving to the Austin area. Fakatou has younger sisters in volleyball, and the state of Texas is attractive to the family. But Ohio State slightly leads in Fakatou's mind. Ismael Camara, OT, Gilmer (Texas) High - Texas is confident they will be right there when the 6-6, 335-pounder makes his decision. That decision is expected to be late in the season around the December signing period. The belief is the recruitment will go the distance, barring a major change. Texas' confidence did grow slightly during and after Saturday-Sunday unofficial visit. Camara continues to work towards getting where he's required to be academically for the next level after moving to Gilmer from France. Brandon Sherrard, CB/DB, Pearland (Texas) Shadow Creek - LSU vs. Texas. In speaking with someone close to the recruitment Wednesday afternoon, there is a belief in Austin Texas can win out. Lucas Rhoa, OT/IOL, Orange (Calif.) Orange Lutheran - OTF believes Texas continues to trend over UCLA. Texas engaged in some positive conversations Wednesday. OTF is also of the belief that Rhoa will have a decision prior to June 29, barring a major change. -------- Manvel (Texas) High defensive back Karnell "Greedy" James is still expected to flip to LSU from Texas. LSU is offering a two-year NIL deal that is substantially higher than Texas is willing to go, as of Wednesday.

There's no declare date.

They'll take up to three.

What’s the date that the guys that have to make a decision for the MLB draft?

Are we going after any pitchers? We lost 2 and our depth was shaky last season

Texas will for sure take another OF.

Mid

The boys are back in town

He also spent time talking with John Meredith who is probably slotted the same as Royal. I’d read into that one more since he wasn’t even there as opposed to the guy who isn’t in the same tier and happened to be there. Took more effort to get with JMIII then “Greedy” in that instance. We probably should’ve seen the writing on the wall with that nickname when it came to slotting if they really wanted him in this class.

is the NIL for 2027 recruits separate from the funds they'll need to retain guys for next year? Or is it all one big pool and they just budget it accordingly. Either way, wish the young buck all the best if he does de-commit and hope wee can land some of our other targets.

It’s 545 my time and it’s time for your nap already old man get off the technology and go take your nap lmao 🤣

That's hilarious haha

it was the only gif I could find talking about teasing us with hi - that wasn't lewd🤣

Definitely prior to June 30.

wtf!!! 😂😂😂

I actually like the way we are managing our NIL dollars like a money fund. Too many schools (like sandaggy) throw a chunk of change at a player, attempting to not only snatch up what they think is a winner, but skewing the market for the rest of us.
