Kanu returning would be great. 

And yes, Muhammad will be a day two guy most likely

Muhammed has seemed to be a shutdown corner since he was a freshman. What is preventing him from being a day 1 pick

Speed. Will be a big question mark for him and Taaffee

[pskjace]

With Moore is it Texas not wanting him back if he decided to stay in school?  Or is it Moore not wanting to come back to Texas?

Lack of interceptions / plays on the ball at the point of the catch

I also think it's wise that we remember that we have actual players' family members as part of our OTF family. When we discuss these kids and their performances, their decisions and futures, we have to do so in a respectful and human way. We love all the kids... no matter what the box score says, because at the end of the day, we all understand, on some level, the amount of sacrifice and hard work these young men and their families put in, as a collective, to even receive the offer of responsibility to represent the state at its flagship program. 

 

This is one of the main reasons I'm proud to be a member of this community. Let's continue to be gracious as these kids and families make some of the toughest decisions they'll make in life.🤘🏿🔥

What am I missing on Moore? Is this NIL related? Wanting more than worth or what?

Saw his playing time deminish with Parker Livingston basically becoming the 3rd WR on the team

Mosely finally getting healthy and playing took snaps away from Moore as well

Goosby coming back, mcdonald coming back, kanu coming back, wonderful news!!!!!
I know it's not all said and done for all of them but I feel like an NFL decision would've come sooner.
Feel really good about 2026 with those guys returning.
Wisner coming back would be kind of strange for him as a player...

Wisner might be willing to bet that Texas will go all in on offensive line in the portal, Running behind a much improved line could move him from fringe draft pick in 26 to much higher in the 27 draft

Him wanting a pay day as big as he got last year then failed to produce the numbers needed for that kind of pay. He’s a good number 3 WR on a good team and shouldn’t be counted on to be more than that.

Traits. He has requisite athleticism to stick outside at corner in the NFL and he has good length but he isn’t all that fast and probably not as fluid as you would like him to be at corner. He is a little light and the ball skills are lacking.

But he does have the plus length, physicality and instincts.

Do we expect Akina back next year?

No and you shouldn’t want him back

Mosely was so consistent.. and I think it shook his confidence and he was pressing to make plays. When your snaps get cut, you definitely wanna do something with it when it comes your way.. and that's when you drop the football. Sure.. it was high school, but I remember the anxiety of knowing the ball is coming your way when the ball is snapped. You get out to the LOS a lil faster...🤣🤣🤣. We saw out entire wr room experience this the first half of the year.
