Who would go to Lubbock and say I’m good without at least making it to Austin for a look. 

I said the same thing in gerry’s portal update. These young men are making BAD decision’s to chase money. I still laugh my ass off at the decision dominic williams made. A doormat big 12 program over a team that just made the SEC title game in their FIRST year, back to back playoff appearances, 11 players drafted last year and possible more this year.

A 247 FSU insider threw out a big number tech was willing to pay for Hunter, I’m starting to think that was real. When one of their posters asked about their chances on his visit he said watch out for Texas Tech. Apparently tech is going big in the portal this year.

Only way that happens is because Texas didn’t deem him as a take in my opinion or you never would have let him visit anywhere other than your school and lock him up right there.

“Never let him visit anywhere”? I think you’re vastly overrating Texas’ ability to control that. Visiting more than one school is just the smart thing to do.

We do not think so at this time.

I guess there’s not much Texas can do when other schools want to dramatically overpay for players we want. Reminds me of Damonic Williams a year ago—there was simply no way we were gonna pay that guy $1M+. It’s a bummer, though—Hunter would have filled a huge hole on this roster. Not sure where we go from here.

IMO our DT room wasn’t in the dire shape it is in this year compared to last. We’re going to have to go crazy on a guy or two at the position.

You’re probably right. But it also seems like Hunter never even gave us a chance to counter. 
 

@Bobby Burton any mutual interest between Texas and David Blay from La Tech? He seems like a solid replacement for the interior pass rush UT is losing in Collins/Broughton…

I think missing on Hunter would be huge for Texas. That guy is a must grab at DT. But if he wants to go play his time out in Lubbock, by all means but business wise it would be very stupid. We have a pretty decent track record of putting DT's in the NFL and probably a few more this year. 

Can't fault the guy if the deal is that big, Texas might not think it's worth matching a crazy #. I know we can't land everyone, but I guess we'll see if he makes it out of Lubbock, I'd say our chances are really good.

Well, it also seems like we haven't even had him on campus yet. So don't count us out yet, if he leaves Lubbock without committing, I'd say we're in a good spot.

I agree, but that’s the key: he has to leave Lubbock uncommitted. It’s sounding like they made him a massive NIL that was take-it-or-leave-it. They clearly don’t want him to make the trip to Austin.
