Does losing out on Lott mean we push for other WRs more? Like Keys, Burroughs or Mack?

Not unless Texas is willing to offer a large bag.

Gerry, Aggies site reports A&M leading for Turntine and  the OL from Prosper. What is your response on that report?

Couple of afternoon recruiting notes

Wanted to pass along a couple of afternoon recruiting notes.

Confidence around Texas remains with 4-star+ EDGE Dre Quinn and 4-star+ DL Vodney Cleveland. 

Texas is also doing pretty well with 4-star+ DL/EDGE Bryce Perry-Wright. But the Texas A&M visit looms. Clemson also in it. 

OTF doesn’t have as much confidence with 4-star++ WR Jalen Lott. Texas had a solid visit, but we believe there is still ground to be made up. USC is strong. Oregon takes their mighty swing this weekend. 

At some point you want Sark to out bid these colleges for studs.    But it’s hard to argue his recruiting success doing it his way 😒

Sark and co need to adapt just like they have every year. We have giant nil offers to contend with now. Not sure why it is necessary to say that its relationships with Chad Scott or whatever.  Kj Edwards doesn’t cancel his ov without incentive.
Jalen Lott would be coached in an elite offense with an elite qb at Texas. there is no reason Texas should lose to USC with this legacy recruitment. USC is just throwing money at the elite kids and it’s producing commitments. Texas is doing great with some rooms but not well at others.  They’ll end up with a great class I’m sure. 

His sister being on the track team gives USC a huge advantage and another sister playing basketball at UNLV helps with travel for family

It went from Lott having a GREAT visit to a solid one, haha.

USC is the national men's track and field champion.  Oregon is a perennial contender in T&F. 

 

Texas currently is neither.

Having kids at the same is big which their mom loves.

Chris Jackson did a great job with the visit.

So, then the million (maybe multi million) dollar question. Are the NIL figures being thrown around absolutely ridiculous for these kids?

Is it that Texas just isn’t willing to play ball? I get not wanting overpay, but at a certain point the strategy there may have to change. I trust Sark, same thing happened last year.

I get what you are trying to say but Texas is spending $30+ million on their roster this year. People trying to question if they are “willing to play ball” is tiring.

You can’t say you understand not wanting to pay then turnaround and say but I kind of want them to overpay.

I’m thinking more so in terms of house settlement. Just wondering if maybe the strategy changed with the approval and they aren’t willing to throw out those figures as much because there isn’t much clarity yet about what is legal and what’s not.
