Are we all underrating the Bo Masoce portal pick up?

[Gerry Hamilton]

Very, very key piece to this 2026 team.

Cam Coleman, Rasheem Biles and the RB’s are going to get the majority of the attention, of course. Thats expected.

I think he is underrated bc he played on a bad team so his name wasn’t gonna pop off to Texas fans,  but like you and Rod mentioned on the livestream, his best graded game was against Ohio st, is there a way to see who he was going up against vs OSU?

Agree .. Rutgers and he's not the headline grabber

Really liked the pickup at the time.  I guess the only question is if his size will hold up on the outside against some of the bigger freaks at WR in the SEC.

Do we think we're keeping Littleton at star? I would assume Phillips basically has one of the corner spots locked down.

I don't have that answer yet. Haven't heard for sure if Muschamp plans to look at him at safety yet. I'm betting he doesn't truly know until after a few spring practices ... what he's seeing from a personnel and positional needs perspective.

Oh I was thinking corner. Didn't know safety was in the mix.

From a "best five" perspective, I don't think I want Littleton at corner.

I like the Masco pick up.  But I would fall short of giving him the corner spot.  We have serious talent out there and it's going to be quite the dog fight just for playing time.  But...I definitely think he's going to get playing time.  Starter is up for grabs.

[Bunk Moreland]

I’m not saying he’s as good as Manny M, but that coverage grade suggests that he should be capable of replacing some of Manny’s best assets (sticky coverage). So, yes, I think he’s a very underrated pickup.

[Hornio]

I've thought he was huge since we got him!  This portal class was a homerun all around

Any word on whether Laurence Seymore will get approved to transfer to Texas?

[Leveller]

Let’s see how much playing time he gets. He has a great chance to be in the top 4 rotation and maybe he wins a starting job.  That room is talented.  I think Phillips is the only sure starter.

I would put Mascoe in the starter category as of now. 

[Hornio]

Phillips, Littleton, Mascoe is dynamite at CB/NB.  Throw in McDonald at one safety spot.  You're talking about elite play at 4 of 5 secondary positions.
