This is such a bad take. It’s different with the House Settlement. Why are kids going to other schools? More NIL. NIL doesn’t grow on trees, Texas won’t have more NIL in Dec (and even if it did, some of these players are already signing contracts). You cannot compare this year to any year previously. 

And you know this how? Texas will have a top 5 class again as usual on December.

You seriously think teams are going to work these deals without assurances baked in especially since it’s coming from athletic revenue

December won’t be the same. Look what happened to the California TE (Bowmen?), he committed to USC and Texas stopped recruiting him all together. Have you heard any updates on him? No, because he was paid for 2-3 years. Texas isn’t just going to come on money to make him change his mind. 
 

the only caveat I would add is if someone fights the House Settlement and it’s determined illegal - that would allow Texas to go above the salary cap and things could change. If things stay the same, Texas doesn’t finish in the top 5.

It's become a business and roster management is very key, another aspect is, if you give a bunch of money to a recruit, the current players look at it and say, I think I'm worth more than that - so come portal time, they could demand more money or hit the portal.  It's a very delicate process, which I'm glad I'm not responsible for.
