    Five-star WR Jaime Ffrench has locked in an unofficial visit to Texas.
    The former Alabama commit will be on campus April 6th, adding to what is already an impressive list of prospects on the offensive side of the ball for that weekend.
    Ffrench has been fond of Sarkisian's offense in the past and mentioned previously to me the production from the Texas WRs has caught his attention plenty of times in the past.

    In the immediate aftermath of the NCAA ruling on the legality of utilizing NIL as a means of inducement and recruiting yesterday afternoon, I reached out to a couple of folks within the Texas NIL Infrastructure.
    There are two prevailing thoughts:
    First and foremost, Texas is going to speak with its own NCAA compliance officials and receive some guidance. This ruling is ultra-new. So while it would be easy to just say the old rules don't matter anymore, Texas is going to make sure of the nuances of the ruling, what they mean, and what proper next steps are.
    There will be lawyers involved in that discussion.
    Second, it will absolutely change how "some" of the recruiting process works. But not the core of it, at least not at Texas.
    Texas coaches will still be the ones offering scholarships, still be the ones recruiting the players, etc.
    However, In light of the pervasiveness of the ruling, other programs may choose an entirely different tack.
    The leader of the Tennessee collective is apparently saying that he plans to send financial offers out to players beginning next week.
    So where does this leave us?
    College football seems to be headed ever closer to a true open market. If so, Texas with all its resources, revenue and fan support will be just fine.

    The NCAA Loses Again

    By Bobby Burton, in Articles,

    A federal judge has temporarily stopped the NCAA from enforcing its rules restricting member schools from using NIL to recruit student-athletes.
    In other words, players can now negotiate and sign their NIL before enrolling at a specific school and schools and collectives can use NIL as a recruiting inducement.
