Moderators CJ Vogel Posted January 15 Moderators Share Posted January 15 Georgia WR Anthony Evans will stay in the SEC. After entering the portal earlier in the offseason, Evans became someone to monitor for the Longhorns as he checked off the boxes for speed and special teams ability. However, the speedster from Judson, Texas, will be headed to Starkville to join Jeff Lebby's offense for 2025. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpurHorn Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Good we need somebody more proven. An AD Mitchell, Matthew Golden level transfer WR. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunk Moreland Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I definitely prefer Omari Evans anyway, who I hope we decide to pursue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atticus Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Don’t underestimate the value of retention. Knowledge of the system, especially at WR, is more important than bringing in the shiny new guy who can’t get on the same page as the QB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sark has brought in WR's every year he's been here with the portal (except year 1). I don't see that trend stopping. You have two guys with some experience and outside of that, a bunch of Fr and 1 year guys. Now I'm fine with leaving it like that, but we're always told that in the portal era you shouldn't be "inexperienced" anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunk randoke Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I wish the absolute worst for Jeff Lebby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmk4pres Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Good. Glad he is going there and not here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drag worm Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 If we’re holding off on this guy and Omari Evans Sark must have a baller or two in mind. Quinn got X, AD, Golden and Bond. You’d think the Mannings want that kind of talent and experience around Arch his first year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunk Moreland Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 @Bobby Burton @CJ Vogel We all know that Sark loves his speed WRs. There’s really nobody on campus in that Bond/Worthy mold and they’re not aggressively pursuing anyone like that in the portal. As you noted on the livestream tonight, they’ve suddenly brought in a bunch of bigger bodies. Do you think that Sark has watched his smaller, speedy receivers struggle to get open against more physical SEC defenses and made a philosophical change to emphasize bigger receivers for that reason? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerky Posted Thursday at 02:33 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:33 PM Getting portal WRs Mitchell then Golden was uncommonly spectacular. Unfortunately, I don't see anybody that good for Texas in this portal window. Returning WRs Moore will be in year 3 and Wingo will be in year 2. Both have WR experience and both are expected to start next season at Texas. Unlike last season losing all 3 WR starters, we only have 1 clear opening at WR. We also have an opening at KR1 and PR1. Many assumed we would find 1 top portal WR but it is proving to be more difficult to find what we seek. Texas should also have 6-8 competing at WR - Niblett, Livingstone, Butler, Dubose, Terry, Ffrench, Lockett, and McCutcheon. Looking forward to seeing them in the spring game.

Atticus Posted Thursday at 02:53 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:53 PM We have more talent waiting in the wings than we did when we got those other guys as well. It’s definitely prudent to be as discerning as we appear to be right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uthorn1374 Posted Thursday at 04:01 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:01 PM Sounds like we will be rolling with what we have until spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
