TexasLonghorns Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 3 minutes ago, VaHorn said: This has nothing to do with Sark. Oregon will likely add Trey McNutt and DJ Pickett in the next few weeks. Depending on the service, that would give them 6 5 stars. So recruiting and landing players has nothing to do with the head coach or the staff on and off the field he assembled? Odd line of thinking to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas is not being drastically outbid by anyone right now on any player. That is a straight fact. They’re in the same ballpark. So it’s either you like Texas or you don’t; coaches are either convincing you to like Texas more or they’re not. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasLonghorns Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 9 minutes ago, Bobby Burton said: If he goes to Oregon, it won’t be solely about the money. Texas will have been outrecruited IMO. Recruiting definitely still matters. Remember what I’ve been saying from the start: the color of everybody’s money is the exact same. These recruits are essentially free agents and free agents choose where they want to go. If he chooses Texas over Oregon or vice versa, it’ll be because that school did a better job recruiting him IMO. Fans don’t like the truth Bobby. This is exactly why I respect you, call it like it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uthornfan32 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Maybe Texas should move away from Nike apparel. Just putting money in Nike (Oregon's) wallet for NIL against us... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas had all the boxes checked that he was looking for and we were trending heavily until Last night no way Oregon just magically became the leader something’s gotta give. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Vaughn Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Nobody knows who’s leading this recruitment and i think that’s by design. 3 minutes ago, BigPickleTexas said: Texas had all the boxes checked that he was looking for and we were trending heavily until Last night no way Oregon just magically became the leader something’s gotta give.

Not to mention Nike is a sad combination of "woke" marketer and "child/slave labor" sweatshop abuser, so we don't need to be feeding that beast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realist Horn Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Sark and staff need to adapt to the new wave of NIL if they want to play with the big boys. Young guys want to get theirs. If it’s more than someone on the team, it’s going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longhorn Wealth Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Overall, I just hope that DM and his family are not letting some last minute money pitch from Oregon cause them to lose site of the reality that this IS a "40 year decision, not a 4 year decision". UT offers the better fit from an offensive setup and infrastructure perspective from both a players, coaches, scheme and development standpoint, so his future development and NFL draft stock value would dwarf any last minute extra sack of cash Nike might be throwing at him. Of course, there is also the large difference in educational value and reputation advantage that UT has over UO, and then there is absolutely NO comparison between the power and opportunities available with the Texas Exes vs whatever the former Ducks call themselves. And UT offers him the opportunity for his family to truly be involved and share in his college football experience, which you cannot put a price tag on. I just hope Sark and his team have been able to get all those truths successfully understood and embraced by DM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a straight fact. They’re in the same ballpark. So it’s either you like Texas or you don’t; coaches are either convincing you to like Texas more or they’re not. Nonsense. Kids and their circle are taking the biggest payment, irrespective of what any school has to offer. There is absolutely no criteria by which a logical decision maker can choose Oregon over Texas, and particularly so for a WR who may actually want a degree of some value. Zero reason…other than a bigger paycheck. QB room? Offensive savant as a coach? Track record of first round WRs? Track record of offensive output? Bigger brand / exposure for next contract? This is all led by Marshall Malchow, the same bagman who gave us the 2022 aggy “best recruiting class ever”, and he is doing it the exact same way. Do you really think that playing in the Big Ten West at 9pm CT against Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Purdue, Northwestern, and UCLA is really comparable to playing for Texas in the SEC? Be serious. This isn’t about sales and marketing, it’s about procurement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Schrader Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I'm walking away...if we lose, we lose...and if we "win"...not even sure I call it a win. I played golf for Texas...but this whole ordeal makes me sick...because this particular "recruitment" is just the tip of the NIL iceberg in the end...today's "verdict" just becomes the new standard in what we used to call "recruiting" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thandFive Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 No school has a seasoned Arch Manning ready to take over next year like Texas. But these days it seems that doesn’t matter as much. Either way, it’s the kid’s life and if we were in his shoes and thinking what we could do for our future and our family, we have no idea what we’d do.
