I don't she understands what bait and switch means.

Anyone who has ever gambled on a game that he / she has participated in / influenced needs to be forever removed more than arms length away from ever influencing a game again in order to protect the integrity of the game. Glad he is getting treatment, etc. but he went through great efforts to conceal his efforts because he knew it was wrong / illegal. If he is participating in a game, there will always be the question of "is he hiding his bets on this game again?" In order for fans to trust the outcome of a game, there can't be those questions about a player.

I'm surprised there is a college coach willing to take him on.

My thoughts: 1. Elko knows he got lucky this past season, and this season will be more difficult. So, he will be able to get people to look past the loses this coming year and be able to point to future of a highly ranked recruiting class. 2. No matter how much money you pour into highschool recruiting, the hit rate will always be the same, even for 5 star guys. They are putting so much of their money into development vs. performance it's going to create an imbalance and wasted funds on development. When the high priced development guys actually hit the performance phase, they are going to demand higher pay. The A&M budget won't be able to pay all these guys for performance, so something will have to give and other schools will reap the benefit of all the money A&M spent to just roster and develop a kid when they transfer out.

I'll take Rice in September if it better positions us to play Ohio State in the winter. I think most Texas fans see it that way too.

5-star talent at a position where he at least can be in the two-deep with legit playing time next year? Sounds like a scenario where Texas will be a little extra aggressive with NIL

Let's hope Sark isn't in quarantine

Here are some PORTAL acronyms: - Players Opting Relentlessly To Abandon Lineups - Pit Of Ruin; Talent All Left - Personnel Outflow; Roster Turnover Almost Lethal

Let's be real here. It's a huge red flag and the most important thing. It's not like we are at a 50% hit rate on our main targets at positions of need. It's 0%. And it's clearly not NIL. This sample size points to a real problem in the org. It's one or a combo of the following: - we aren't prioritizing the right targets: Brand Harris's fault. - we are convincing the players to sign: coaches and Brandon Harris's fault. Sure, we can point to other schools struggling in the portal but not everyone is going 0'fer on their main targets, they are having some level of success. And for a school like Texas that has a huge NIL backing, the hit rate like this is unacceptable. There can't be excuses at this point for Texas coaches and staff. Either you can handle portal recruiting or you need to get out of the program.

Is this the joy that Michigan, Florida, Louisville, and soon to be ASU have felt?

Add a 2025 snap count requirement, especially at a position where we are looking for a starter. I think >300 could work.

Based on the logic of his statement, yes. But if he was thinking logically, he wouldn't have stated that. What he really wants to say is Texas is out because they had 3 losses, which points to the real culprit: the OSU loss. But he can't say that because that would go against all of their stated criteria - that they don't follow. So he has to make this illogical statement to sound like they are actually evaluating things. But they aren't.
