Moderators CJ Vogel Posted January 21 Moderators Share Posted January 21 Texas is hosting former Arizona DL Tiaoalii Savea this weekend for an official visit. Savea dropped the Horns in a tweet this afternoon as well. OTF has confirmed this is not an indication of a commitment, however we do believe things are moving in the right direction here for the Longhorns. Of course, Texas is in the market for interior defensive line help, and the 6-foot-4 and 305 lb Savea would be a welcomed addition to the Texas defense.

Rhenk6768 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 What kind of production do we realistically expect from him? Nansen must think highly of him to try to bring him from Arizona 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonerz99 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) I’m nervous about Nansen being surprised with the size, speed, and especially the strength of SEC defensive interiors. Does Savea fit the bill here? Also, are there nose tackles that Texas is monitoring who may be submitting their names in the portal? Or is an impact nose a fantasy?

I expect the DL coach to be ready for the sec. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a couple more second interviews lined up. Teams this year seem to be taking a slower approach to hiring in the NFL than they have in years past. The only two hiring's are an interim(Antonio Pierce - Raiders) and a guy who has been the staff in New England.

The NCAA and BiG can punish him for any wrongdoing even if Michigan is desperate enough to give him the clause. This thing with the NCAA isn't going away and most of it points directly at him. And it will drag on and on, hanging over him like a cloud. Combine that with the fact that Michigan probably won't be very good next year, he's got a lot of motivation to leave now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
