Apparently the NIL demands were higher than what we wanted to give, seems like a good kid and athlete but if there’s one position we definitely don’t need to overpay it is RB. If we end up with him great if not then I’m more than happy to get Simon in the fold. Edited May 5 by ImDirtydan01 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Leininger Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 We've had 4 RBs taken in the last 2 drafts, with the #1 RB taken in back to back years. Blue is likely going to declare and get drafted after this season, and we have Baxter, Clark, Gibson, and Wisner still with eligbility. We ain't going to get them all, but we will absolutely develop the ones we do get into NFL players. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpaw Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Davidson has been trending this way for a while. I'm a bit surprised but, then again maybe not, that Texas isn't in the final four. It's clear the staff moved on to James Simon almost a month ago. I'd be happy with a Rickey Stewart one-back class, but it appears we are all-in for two in 2025. Simon looks good, but there are some real stud RBs in the 2026 class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harveycmd Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I like it. Based on Damonic Williams and now Jordan Davison, I think you can say that Sark is staying true to his word. He's not overpaying, and he's not willing to risk team chemistry. Texas could pay these guys and get them, but it's more important to keep the locker room on an even keel. We're talented enough to compete at the highest level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Burton Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I am told Davison had nothing to do with NIL. The quality/depth of the RB room was the issue. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody was in the same neighborhood on Davison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't think he can get on the field at Texas, then how does he think he'll do in the NFL? I'm saying the boy's a pansy. Rickey ain't no pansy.

I'm saying the boy's a pansy. Rickey ain't no pansy. I think you should tap the brakes on that. He’s just looking for the best opportunity to play early and there is nothing wrong with that. You can’t fault kids for not wanting to wait a year or two to get significant playing time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveycmd Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) If the boy doesn't think he can crack the line-up at Texas, then what does he think he'll do in NFL? Arch is waiting. Does Davison thinks he's gotta go as freshman? Jesus. He's nothing to us. Hose him. Edited May 5 by harveycmd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveycmd Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I'd take any RBs in top Texas 10 over Davison. California pansies can't hang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Leininger Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) It doesn't hurt that Simon is thought to be the better prospect on most of the recruiting services. I understand Davison's decision to prioritize early playing time over NFL development. It's not like we had a guy on the team that waited his turn patiently for 2 seasons and produced when needed go has the 1st RB in the draft, or another guy that was a STs demon/3rd down back get drafted as well. To each his own. And for those wondering about 2 back classes, well, I remember the West Virginia game in Sarkisian's 1st season when we didn't have the services of Robinson or Brooks and both Johnson and Keilan didn't finish the game healthy.

harveycmd Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I'm thinking 25 or 26 we'll be going to final two with Arch. Davison will be at OSU with 40 carries and 127 yards. Good luck goober. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas isn’t going to fold by not getting Davison. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
