Seaton isn't coming - Texas should cancel the visit because there is no where to put him. Take those efforts and get an inside guard with experience and best players available at other positions. Build your depth.

Nice job of Bobby editing the mods only post to remove Seaton!

Yeah, I saw it now says they are on the prowl for an IOL...I am sure that opinion changed after speaker with sources, but it doesn't make sense to construct a roster with 4 tackles making $1mil+ each when you only start 2 of them.

UPDATE:

The calculus with Seaton has clearly changed with the signing of Melvin Siani.

While I can't say Texas is completely out of it, the thought process has changed. Siani and Goosby are both tackles. Seaton is a tackle.

I can not sit here and tell you with 100-percent certainty that Texas is out of it with Seaton, as some are reporting. But I can tell you the calculus has absolutely changed.

It only makes sense Bobby. Go spend on needs/depth that will help this year.

And that’s perfectly fine imo

I'm ok with losing out on seaton. We got another solid Tackle in Siani or possibly even a guard. As long as the line is shored up then I'm good. So far it's playing out that way. Just another starting interior OL or maybe 2

If Seaton wanted to come to Texas, he shouldn't have waited so long...if he gets in early enough, Texas could have made an investment. Instead something almost as good came in with a much lower price tag.

I am fine not getting Seaton but where are the elite guards we are supposed to land ? they dont have much time to enter

Apparently there is one who still may enter the portal the coaches are waiting on....similar smoke to an elite OT that was supposed to enter today, and did - Sinai. The kid has to decide to go in though,

Great point by Rod B on the livestream that we may be witnessing an evolution away from Flood’s “large humans” philosophy to “athletic (and still large) humans” on the OL going forward. I’m all for it. Most of the enormous OL recruits who have cinder blocks for legs simply have not panned out.

Thank you for reiterating this because I was scratching my head over here trying to make sense of the Siani signing.

This is accurate.

There is also another with a different set of circumstances.

That sounds great. Let’s get some IOL & party.
