Money is their best pitch. It’s certainly not development as that hasn’t been something Elko has proven over his career.

Including getting his high school QB to flip from Michigan and reclassify.

That’s what I figured. Followed you guys for awhile and you have always been on the up and up. I appreciate all that you do.

Will OTF hold any potential visitor news until later in the week if they feel like leaking the news could hurt the chances of these kids visiting? Oklahoma has 5 days to stop Fasusi from visiting. LSU has 4 days to stop Phillips from visiting.

Gun to head.....does any of the following visit a game in Austin the rest of the way: Kevin Wynn Walter Mathis Jr. Dorian Brew Devin Sanchez Michael Fasusi Riley Pettijohn Madden Faraimo Zion Williams

Fong dong just wrote in his Monday article that he likes where Auburn sits with Mbatchou. We ain’t getting this kid unless we pay up with Auburn and burnt brisket involved. I wish Auburn wasn’t involved because our record against for them in the last year hasn’t been good……at all.

I just hope Sark’s mind set has changed on DL recruiting. Gotta pay big money for these DL recruitments. Sharma and Charles point to yes on the mindset. Mbatchou, Mathis, Wynn, Terry, Sanders, Sims aren’t going to be recruitments we can win if we offer significantly less in NIL.

Not the coaches but Guillory doesn’t excite me. Fodje, Fasusi, and Wilson would be the only guys that possibly interest me.

Exactly and/or maybe just maybe it wouldn’t benefit anyone in burnt orange if it came out that he was talking to our staff. I don’t see any reason why the staff would want anyone to know about them talking right now. With these big time players, secrecy is the best medicine to try and get the flip completed. See Sims where him visiting has been broadcasted for weeks and a&m has been able to temporarily pause him from visiting.

Nope it didn’t change at all. I expected 10-2 or 11-1. I think we are still headed for that l. Hopefully we can stay healthy and if so I expect us to be in the playoffs and seeded relatively high.

I want all the DT’s.

Yesterday was such an awesome day!

Oregon about to man scape for 105 five stars.

Lacrosse

He was drafted 42 overall…….he’s gone.

Poor mental eval.

Talk about a thread title that will never get old “Texas flips another aggie”.

Damn Oregon playing chess while everyone else plays checkers. I wonder how much NIL it cost them to cause a f’n hurricane just to delay some decisions to give them more time.

I think several things can be true at the same time: 1. Did Baker’s lack of relationship hurt us with Williams and Brown….absolutely. 2. Sharma signed off on Kenny Baker until Oregon came in at the end and offered more than what UT would. That’s an institutional loss…..not a Kenny Baker loss. 3. Charles and Wynn were both expected to go to Florida State and committed there. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how great of a relationship Baker has with a recuit if Sark is going to let every team outbid us for the DT’s we want. I think there is enough data after three years to show that Sark just doesn’t want to allocate the type of NIL funds to the DT position that it takes to go win these National recruitments there. Hopefully we take the mil plus we were offering Moore and split that between two of the DT’s that we previously have lost out on.

Just wait until Oregon comes in the last 24 hours.

Embody is saying Anding is backing up his commitment (sounded like beyond Monday) and now coming to LSU at the end of July.

The next time Flood loses a priority target to Bedenbaugh will be the first. Not going to sweat this one at all.

I can't speak for the rest of the fan base, but Bo Davis is not my enemy number 1. I think Bo Davis is a great Coach and a really great developer..........but an average to above average recruiter. I don't think he was a plus or even good recruiter at Texas. 2024 - We are lucky that January was a legacy or else he probably heads elsewhere. Hills - a developmental take. Then Robinson - a guy you stated for months that you didn't expect to end up in the class (before Davis even announced he was leaving). 2023 - Only take is Sydir Mitchell. Up to this point, based on everything that has been reported from his almost transferring, to him showing up out of shape, and overweight again.....he doesn't seem to be a kid interested in maximizing. 2022 - Bledsoe, Ross, Bryant, and Swanson. Swanson - never contributed - transferred Ross - never contributed - kicked off the team Bryant - hasn't contributed - developmental take Bledsoe - hasn't contributed - developmental take Bo Davis has had 3 classes and so far......none of them has produced a single contributor. Bryant might contribute 10-15 snaps a game this year....Bledsoe might contribute some snaps this year, but this is also the position that Sark was so underwhelmed with what was on campus that we added 3 different portal DT's. I don't really understand what singling out Toia and Williams proves.......if we want to list out the number of guys Bo Davis has missed on or those that haven't given him the time of day.....the list is a lot longer than two portal DT's that chose to go elsewhere. I just don't see how someone can look at the recruits that Bo Davis brought in, that none of them have turned into contributors, and say he recruited "well" at Texas.

Interesting that Bo Davis finally decides to recruit well after the wheels are in motion for him to leave Austin.
