    Hope folks can join.

    There is no log jam at receiver IMO, not until any of the young ones prove they are difference makers.

    We will do something. Just an unthinkable tragedy.

    “Texas trying to make it interesting” is inaccurate. It makes it sound like Texas is doing something different. Texas has not changed its offer in 10 days.

    Discussion.

    Nope. Same guy did the one for NiJaree Canady, the Tech softball pitcher.

    He did take the visit. Texas fans need to know this wasn’t one Texas went to battle for though. It’s being portrayed as such and it’s just not the case given Richard Wesley’s commitment.
  8. Bobby Burton
    I don’t think that’s their intent but it is the reality in this instance.

    People need to stop. False narrative. They’re just playing it up to make it look like a direct win over Texas. Facts are, Texas didn’t move anything in the last minute. Texas got Richard Wesley 10 days ago. It’s A&M. Or Clemson. Texas not even tracking this closely.

    Love the word “potentially” in that reporting. I think offers like that are going to be common. We’ll see what recruits want to do with it. Frankly, Tech hasn’t done a whole hell of a lot with the players they have recruited from high school.

    Some think the way to make a name for yourself is to try to target the brand that matters most.

    Separate note but Boobie Feaster to USC. Texas never prioritized.

    Early next week is possible but not solidified. Waiting for him to give everyone a date.
  15. Bobby Burton
    Some already have and not just because they’re from well off families but because they want to build a better team.

    Putting the genie back in the bottle NEVER works!!!

    FWIW - in the case of the most recent losses, yes, I know both sides of the coin. Admittedly, I do not know all of those from last year. Reporting on NIL offers will become a more common thing, especially as schools can start putting their offers in writing on August 1.
  18. Bobby Burton
    Good question. Here’s why: Because the preponderance of NIL spent previously came from what the NCAA and House Settlement deem as “associated entities”, i.e. collectives and/or business specifically related to Texas. According to the House Settlement, those associated entities are now regulated by NIL Go and must pass fair market value tests, of which 70-90pct would have been thrown out last year, according to Deloitte.

    Always a fair question. But Sark and Brandon Harris don’t seem to panic, no matter the situation. Not in high school recruiting and not in the portal.

    Hi John, First of all, we were not tracking either Guervil or Henderson heavily yesterday because 24 hours earlier we knew they were going elsewhere and reported as much. So we weren’t all in on covering the final throes of those recruitments. To your point, we probably should have had a thread for the day regardless. We’ll do that better this week, starting with Okpala today. 10am. Thanks, Bobby

    I don’t have any real problem with where Texas sits right now. Texas has lost exactly one recruit where the Horns’ NIL offer matched or exceeded someone else’s and that was to a home-state team (Crowell). Texas does not have unlimited NIL. Neither do other teams, though some are acting like it. Let me ask you all this: are any of the players left on the board worth 1/15th of your entire roster salary cap? Maybe there might be but that number is few and far between. Today alone, Henderson and Guervil just went for those amounts.

    Read Gerry’s update posted a few moments ago. Oregon current leader.
  23. Bobby Burton
    Good post and thought process. I think it can hurt some, but not overwhelmingly so.
  24. Bobby Burton
    Texas has traditionally stood its ground on offers. That being said, they’ve sweetened the pot on a couple and still come up short. That’s the way it is. I think some of it has to do with how much they like the players currently on the roster as they look to 2026. There are pseudo limits now.
  25. Bobby Burton
    We’re trying to get more intel. Nothing would surprise me if Florida or whoever upped the ante. Not the first time it has happened with a DT in this cycle.
