Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted Tuesday at 08:19 PM Moderators Share Posted Tuesday at 08:19 PM Myron Charles Note The Florida Gators are making a major run at 4-star++ defensive lineman and Texas commitment Myron Charles (Port Charlotte, Fla./High). OnTexasFootball has been told that Texas has felt pretty good about conversations since the 6-4.5, 310-pounder made a visit to Florida for the LSU game over the weekend. With that said, there is also some confidence on the Florida front. The Gators are working to get Charles back on campus this weekend for the Ole Miss game, and attempting to pressure Charles to open up his recruitment early this week. Texas and Florida duking it out for one of the nations top defensive linemen. 13 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liveattheoasis Posted Tuesday at 08:27 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:27 PM Is NIL the driving force here @Gerry Hamilton, or is Texas fighting homesickness as well? Has sounded like Sharma and Charles had struck up quite the bond, and he's also close with Hilson from what's been reported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hashtag Posted Tuesday at 08:44 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:44 PM If you want to win big boy DL recruitments in the SEC then you need to be able to pay big boy NIL prices on the DL. Plain and simple. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assistant Regional Manager Posted Tuesday at 08:51 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:51 PM This recruitment might be an important lesson in the “just win” recruitnik thinking. Times have changed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qaertyisthatdude Posted Tuesday at 08:53 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:53 PM If Texas doesn't change their philosophy for NIL $$$ allocated to DT recruiting, they will continue to struggle to attract DTs for years to come and will miss their championship window. Good DTs are expensive even at the HS level. More expensive to find them from the portal. Kenny Baker seems like he will be a home run hire, but he's not a miracle worker. Gotta capitalize on this window and not leave meat on the bone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta capitalize on this window and not leave meat on the bone. You don’t know what their DT allocation is this cycle. Of course DT’s are expensive. I don’t think anyone at Texas thinks otherwise, but if Charles runs up his price so much that it means Texas can’t get the immediate help they also need in the portal, what do you do? Accounting decisions come into play in all these situations. Of course you want 3-4 elite HS DT’s and 2-3 more good portal dudes but the money tree ain’t endless.

You think this is still about W/L? Yep. Georgia, and even programs like Auburn, LSU, and such have nice DT classes because of $$$. SEC programs know you must be willing to pay a premium for the best HS DT recruits. Location helps too but these kids want the bag more than anything.
