Former high 4-star Safety out of Louisiana ... picked Texas A&M over LSU and Texas in the 2022 class ... greatest class ever signed! He hit the portal. Had stopped going to Texas A&M workouts and team meetings in January. Not the right formula to attract power programs IMO. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very highly rated five-star safety from the 2020 class for whom Texas finished second to aTm. I think there is a transfer rule in the SEC that will not allow spring SEC transfers to play that fall for any other SEC team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say, I thought we recruited him pretty hard. Sounds like our opinion of him has changed, perhaps due to what you just pointed out.

Thiefery Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 not sure why would we would even kick the tires on him.. we have Makuba, Williams, Filsame and JRR competing in that room.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTown Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 As related to this hearing conflicting things. Are we bound now by the SEC transfer rules even if we aren't officially in the Conference. Example next portal none of our guys can transfer to a SEC school without sitting out a year. And vice versa anyone wanting to come to UT from the SEC? Just curious thanks anybody👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watty7796 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Are there any positions outside of D Lineman that Texas has any significant interest from the transfer portal? They are pretty solid everywhere else at least short term. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTown Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I know the rule applies to SEC teams as you have to be in portal by Feb 1 or you can't transfer within the Conference, have to sit a year. Just didn't know if it included us and OU yet for sure.I mean we may be bound by it even though we don't enter officially until July. It is still in effect.

Just trust sark, what he’s building and don’t worry about stuff you can’t control. The man just got us to uncharted water in less then three years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Texas would probably abide by the spirit of the rule, OU probably not. But if Oatis enters the portal, all bets are off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveycmd Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) I read somewhere that the rule does apply to Texas and OU this year even though they don't officially enter the SEC until July. Now, historically speaking, rules restricting recruiting have never meant anything to the criminal interlopers north of the Red River.

Derek Handler Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Don't think the transfer rule is a thing anymore. Georgia had Mizzou's top WR last year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justwinbaby Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Texas should never go after any Ags in the portal. Not sure why Texas fans thought Texas would land Evan Stewart or Walter Nolen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
