Quinncent McManning, Jr.

And Lockett

Meanwhile in Tuscaloosa

We still need another third portal at least . Let’s say there are injuries.. what’s the second team line? lt - Chatman or Cojoe? lg - Coleman or Christian or Robertson? c - other Coleman? rg - Coleman or Christian or Robertson? rt - Cojoe or Brooks? There is literally no real experience. I’m assuming Turntine needs a year to bulk up.

Yeah. Bet his penalty rate was low

Rod B anyone?

Portal to cooking school?

You need to run that video backwards

Just to be sure. Signed? Or committed?

Wow. All in!

Yes, though some positions need development. How long a qb sits and learns and OL/DL guys take to build their frame and learn the schemes can vary. Our DL rotates frequently and so hopefully guys like Sharma and Charles will be more involved this year. How long will a Turntine need to gain weight and a Bell need to master the offense while he battles Lacey will be interesting.

Given the new era of roster management, it makes sense to look at recruits in terms of playing time relative to NIL $, which translates also to portal out risk. Let's look at our 2026 class Elite guys that should be worth the high NIL (should play early, hopefully produce, and hopefully be happy at Texas for the entire 3-4 years): Atkinson, Bishop, Wesley, Cooper. The guys in the middle (we expect a lot, could be big time players with some development, but how patient will they be): Bell, Matthews, Carlton, Johnson, Turntine, Okpala, Howard, Stewart, Brown Potential great value plays: Cummings, Davis, Walker, Riley, Jilek, Scherer Looking at the 2025 class you can already see some separation with the highest rated guys: Elite guys worth the NIL: Philips, Jackson, Littleton Elite guys TBD: Williams (*may be worth it for baseball), Lockett, Townsend, Terry Elite guys not patient enough / did not work out: Ffrench, Barnes I look for Sark and Co to target 5 studs every year with big NIL and 5 value plays every year.

I’d take Finney, Moore, and Davidson to start

Trust the Hamm

Don’t look when Cam Coleman is catch balls for us next year wearing 2 watches.

Can we lure Cignetti into the portal?
