Still wish we developed and retained these guys

Not necessarily dangerous imho, but definitely different. IF we continue to produce similar numbers into the NFL, it's a bit of a moot point. When and where we get the NFL prospects (HS, Portal, grad transfer, etc) from isn't as important as getting them. Texas is well-positioned in this era and (to date) seem to be operating well in the environment.

Ok I just received 2 boxes and opened them immediately. First one had a Madi booker and a gilbeau auto. Second one though hit paydirt. Arch and McDermott from the basketball team autos. Got some sweet looking cards of wingo and Simmons. I’ll say quality control wasn’t great with these cards. Had a few packs of 6 cards with two of the same commons. Hadn’t bought any cards since the upper deck set years ago, and before that the 90s. Was nostalgic opening cards again.

he's definitely not good enough for that. would be a decent body in the room for injuries but thats it imo

She demands to be painted like one of your French girls…

Not locked in. Texas has had some conversations, but will come down to if Herring has any “starter” demands

Can schedule visits for 12:01am Friday

But does he have skinny ankles?!

Is it possible this benefits the programs like utsa or even down to texas state or la tech.They become almost like double a or triple a.

Me liking every post in this thread. Dogs are the best

you can talk to whoever. the dead period only prohibits in-person contact between school and player

ha literally posted same thing at virtually same time... dead on. 🤘

This is the second coach I've seen post for walk-on tryouts. Also the second notable coach's son I've seen.

Or wouldn't have happened in the same way.... Maybe they start a year or two somewhere else, but then portal in for last year or 2... But agree, the raw gem, program developed guys are going to dwindle... Could make early recruiting even more important though, as that kid that goes somewhere else year 1 and 2, may be more inclined to portal in if given some attention / love / familiarity with Texas up front... Definitely a new world, upending decades of models of how to build a program... 🤘

wouldnt've happened exactly how they did. but they still could have come through the program when they were ready to finally play. or they coulda been part of the lower end of a class who have the expectation to develop and are paid accordingly.

yeah exactly. its a simple math problem/zero sum game. We are just in a wild time where the new reality is coming to fruition. with teams paying proven potential, all that will happen is that the development guys will get cheaper until they are proven and then move up the ranks... nothing will change other than where players develop. Not every year will have 25 players leave because the rosters are getting smaller. out of a 20 man class (10 insta contributers that are expensive/10 development cheaper guys), maybe 3-5 of the big money recruits you bring in that dont pan out will get their offers pulled and then 3-5 development guys who are in that no mans land of too expensive to not play but not cheap enough to be in a development role. Then those 6-10 will be replaced with proven guys in the portal. It just feels weird rn cause we are in a transition period
