Royal announcing 7/29, his birthday.

He is about to turn 17 not 18 I believe. Just imagine all the things he and his family are dealing with. I wish him the best whatever happens, whether he announces anything or not soon.

In my opinion it is not about $ , because he will get that period. Starting Aug 1 he can get paid.  What does his heart want ? Can live with that whoever he chooses. He is having fun on social media . Why not enjoy ? Has a top notch agent, so it will be handled with class for sure.  But would be nice to see LSU fans melt if he reaffirms Texas.

A date isn’t a flip. A birthday isn’t a flip. A rumor from TigerDroppings isn’t a flip. The only thing flipping is this board’s emotional stability.

Texas is fine. The roster is fine. The staff is fine. The NIL is fine. The only thing not fine is the people sprinting into meltdown mode because a teenager posted a number.

I’ll respond when there’s actual news. Not when the panic hobbyists start their daily cardio.

I'm with Bobby --- I'd sit tight

This kid is good...I think he's trolling half the SEC right now...he must be having a blast...remember that no matter WHAT he says, this is STILL gonna go to signing day, lol!

I think we should all sit back and watch this senior in high school strut his stuff.

This is top shelf marketing.

Enjoy the show...

Nobody said to fire sark, blah blah, we are just saying that he’s flipping.

I was being sarcastic, I always forget that doesn't come across well in text format lol.

I’m likely in the minority on this take but these 5-star prima donna WRs coming out of high school may be a terrible NIL investment for the Longhorns so if we miss on both Sales and Royal, Good Riddance!!!

Last season we had two 5-star freshman at WR and one committed a small amount down the stretch, the other didn’t do anything and transferred at end of season.   Conversely, two of our top three WRs going into this 2026 season are both transfers like well to  have a massive and immediate impact.   Perhaps WR is one of those positions we simply need to cherry pick from the portal and hit HR with instant impact rather than overspending on potential 5-stars that take 2-3 yrs to develop/contribute.   JMHO.

Hook em!! 🧡🤘🏼🐂
