If he just didn't show up for this morning for the trip to Orlando and didn't inform anyone in the program in person, it says a lot about Wisner. If true, he's burned a lot of bridges.

Sorry if I missed that, are you saying that you heard this happened? That he didn’t inform anyone until he was no show for the plane take off?!  That’s nuts if true. I sure hope that wasn’t the story here, I thought he was a solid player for us but pulling stunts like this changes things for the public perception and future employers even

Texas and Wiser probably decided to go different directions prior to today and made it public today. Regardless wish Wisner success on and off the field. It’s a business for all parties.

I'll let @Bobby Burton clarify if I'm misrepresenting what he said on OTF this morning, but that's my understanding of how this went down.

Texas is expecting to hear some portal news here shortly according to a source close to the situation. 

 

Without spinning this is a problem, need to sure up getting pure RB and WR1’s

UT is making a smart choice here. Wisner lacks the talent to be a #1 RB in the SEC.

Wisner IMO is making a bad choice. Should have come back as a #2 and spent the rest of his life as a UT legend like Rod B, Fozzy Whitaker, Whittington, Roschon, etc.

I wish Wisner finished his career as a longhorn but I think it’s too early to say he made a bad choice. Let’s see where he lands and how much he gets. He could also go into the draft and if he doesn’t find what he is looking for in the portal. 
 

I also think rb1 vs rb2 is overrated in the SEC. You need multiple capable rbs to get thru the schedule. It’s going to be tough to get 2 starter level running backs out of the portal so I hope 1-2 of the young backs step up.
