The Mods always say Texas doesn't lead with NIL, and lets these guys get offers from other schools first before making their "best" offers. 

Because Texas doesn't lead with NIL doesn't mean there isn't offers.

I was about to say. Pants dropped is wild lmfao. Plus the room is stacked. This is not ideal but definitely not the end of the world. 

The goal is to maintain a stacked room, not just to have one.

Sark’s Alow play strategy is being put to a major test this cycle.  I sure hope Crowell or Cooper is one of the “Hi’s”….

Seriously doubt this. People panic and don't learn. Texas will be just fine as always.

And we have 4 years of data points saying that is the correct strategy.

Texas has the top one or two QB committed in the country.

Meant RB/TE/WR.  Figured that went without saying

Feels applicable again.

Time will tell. Just saying we will be just fine doesn’t make it true.  @Gerry Hamilton himself said this is a big blow to Texas.

Exactly right, where is that trophy for the Ags for that 2022 class??

[Bunk Moreland]

We will see if Aggy can hold onto these recruits after Texas beats them by 2-3 scores at DKR in November, is in contention for another natty while Texas 8&4 goes 8-4 again, and Sark gets serious with his NIL offers.

This is what our class looked like at this time last year:

KJ Lacey

Lance Jackson

Elijah Barnes

James Simon

Coleman triplets

Emaree Winston

End of list.

 

Not sure how you can say they are slow playing guys when they sit with 2x the commitments they had at this time a year ago.

We need to drop a 60 burger on lil bro this year and send a message.

But this year seems different in terms of the cancelling of visits and quick decisions. It's kind of interesting new development.

It's a big blow because of the current state of the RB big board.

Maybe having the last OV is not a good a sign as it used to be. Long way to go, but that one stings right now.

Not in the NIL era.

@Gerry Hamilton hold me I’m on the ledge lmao 😂😂🤘🤘

A development that may work in our favor with a few guys coming up. 

[Austin Cochran]

I will say I believe sark will get two really good running backs but I can’t lie it’s not looking that good right now, especially if Crowell goes to bama.

[georgethepunter]

Choice leaving right before the cycle started certainly didn't help things. I have faith they will get their guys. 

[Born Burnt Orange]

These are not the “hi’s” I was expecting.  

[HookemHorns87]

He will flip by October after the pre season expectations come crashing down on them 😅😅😂😂😂😂

Very true. Also considering our roster at the position it seemed like 2 RB class wasn't going to work regardless especially with the board of RBs we had in 2026 class.

And people were COMPLAINING all summer '24 about losing certain recruits 🙄 and Texas ended up with the no. 1 class in the nation. Either you trust Sark approach or not.

I figured at some point 2 RBs per year was not going to work, but I had penciled in KJ as our 1 take for this year

[Anthony Swanson]

So the remaining 2 guys that haven’t committed is Cooper and Crowell. We’re not getting Cooper and Crowell is not promising at all to come here. Wonder who they look at from here and possible new targets
