closetojumping Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 1 hour ago, taxsaver said: TROLLS believe we show Sydir the door before he finishes his freshman year. PEOPLE? not so much Calling people with a different opinion than your own a "troll" is weak and lazy as a forum tactic. Texas is currently 4-5 guys over the 85 man number for August. Texas is interested in multiple roles from the portal, so the number will go up by 2-3 more including a punter. There is about to be attrition in the range of 6-10 guys leaving the program. Anyone can leave, but prime candidates have some or all of the following traits: 1) Far from home 2) Helicopter parent 3) Running 3rd string or worse as a 1st or 2nd year player, running 2nd string or worse as a 3rd or 4th year player. Usually hasn't made a dent in the 2 deep. 4) In the doghouse with the staff 5) Potentially significant and career limiting underlying medical issue There is one player on the roster that checks all of those boxes and only one. Maybe Mitchell sticks around, but if you guys don't understand that he's a prime departure risk, you either haven't been paying attention or you are too naive to understand how things work in the portal + NIL era. Either way, you're taking an uninformed position and then howling at others that they're trolls. That's Dunning Kruger in real time. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about you ask the SEC how they are gonna be ready for Texas." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Burton Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 4 hours ago, TTown said: So people think we will show Sydir the door? Crazy talk. Plenty of time and remember same talk about Sweat years ago. Let it play out. Could he portal ? Sure as can anybody, but I haven't seen anywhere where that is a possibility yet. Hope he keeps working and let it play out. And of course be portal looking for a DT if 1 becomes available. Sydir had more bounce today in practice. Good sign IMO. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NothinButDaHorns34 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Definitely sounds like we’ll need two portal zero techniques? since sydir is looking like a dud getting passed up by a true freshman less then two weeks into spring ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootLaw Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 What's up with Sydir? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatHornsGuy87 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I guess people have forgot they've been telling us there's something medically wrong with sydir not injury. Could be something seriously wrong there we don't know about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
