He’s been suspended from the team since August.  Higher likelihood he ends up at Last Chance U than Texas.

Unless Sark wants the DT version of Agiye Hall.  

I get it, but what did he actually get suspended for underlying the "violation of team rules" reason? A violation of team rules is very vague, there's no criminal matter out there I've seen, and Hugh Freeze was fired for a reason (he sucked). People make mistakes. Did he really do something that bad?

That said, his recruitment was not ideal and I bet he asks too much for what Texas would value him at anyway. I also don't believe the conference updated their one-year bench requirement for SEC-to-SEC transfers during the spring window. Maybe that's in the works or I missed it, but he might have to sit a year at SEC schools. We (or his agent) might kick the tires, but not sure it goes anywhere like you said.

I just want some portal lineman from Iowa,Minnesota etc is that to much to ask?

If I recall correctly, there were drug issues, violence issues, and domestic violence issues in high school.  Then got suspended for whatever he did at Auburn.

Really fun back.

He’s really good, but if the top 5-7 WRs all return and Royal reclassifies to 26 and enters with Bishop, would Texas still take a big-time receiver out of the portal? Seems like that would create the potential for major attrition. Not saying it’s a bad thing—I think Sark NEEDS to upgrade at receiver—just wondering what it all means for the receiver room dominoes.

Did I miss something? Is Royal thinking of reclassifying?

Don't believe so.

Saina piques my curiosity.  I have never seen him play.

 

Have any of you?

0 snaps this year. Could be a good player, but not one I envision Texas pursuing for immediate play time

Max Johnson entering the Transfer Portal for a 4th time at nearly 25 years old isn't being talked about enough. Dude has literally played for Ed O, Jimbo Fisher, and Mack Brown.

[Bunk Moreland]

Certainly fits this staff’s physical profile for a starting corner. Don’t know much else about him though.

6’4” 205?  I know we wanted him last year but this doesn’t look like an ideal experienced portal lb pickup for us.

Well I mean the scholarship level is at 105 now so never know, ofc if he demands too much money then it’s a pass

I guess it depends on the reason he is leaving. Passed over for pt and needs a fresh start?  In that case can he wait to develop or does he want to be on the field soon?  Are we willing to pay him to develop?  I would expect this type of portal player to go to a byu or Utah or Arizona but to be fair I know nothing about his time at usc so far.  Is he Akana 2.0?

You guys seen this crazy story?  I’m sure more lawsuits like this will come in time
