Won't really have a read on Cam until after his Tech and USC visit. You can imagine that number will only continue to increase the more and more visits he takes. Tech, with Sorsby, has the second best on field offer to Coleman at the moment behind Arch Manning. We will see if that moves the needle for him at all.

Last sentence is as true a sentence you will read in this portal window.

Texas has a very experienced group of negotiators on their side.

I don't disagree. Priority list for me has always been 1. OL 2. OL 3. OL

Well, that all kind of plays into why All In was/is the plan for Texas. Longhorns weren't willing to meet extremely high asks from some of the expected returnees, while also some of the freshmen numbers were going to be cut significantly. That tells me, 'Hey, there is extra cash around.'

From what I understand, it is very unlikely that the number those players played the 2025 season at will be what they play the 2026 season at.

If there was ever a year to prove that paragraph wrong, it would be this year. Landing Cam Coleman and the Michigan OL is the easiest way to disprove it.

Thoughts from the Weekend It has been roughly 80 hours since the portal opened on midnight of January 2nd. In that time, Texas has secured four signings: Three specialists and a 380-pound nose tackle from Arkansas who logged more than 460 snaps last season. Geffrard, in particular, fills a clear positional need Texas identified heading into January. The Longhorns have also hosted the No. 1 player in the portal in WR Cam Coleman, as well as Michigan OT Andrew Sprague, Florida State DB Edwin Joseph, and several others are slated to visit Monday and beyond. For about a month now, myself and others have been preaching the 'All In' mentality that Texas was set to bring to the portal. I believe now, I will be referring to Texas in the portal to being 'Aggressive' from here on. It's a bit misleading, going All-In typically indicates you are completely committed to a cause and will exhaust all avenues to achieve something. Texas should still put together a very aggressive class. But what I want to shy away from is the idea that if Texas is linked to a player, that means that player will be in burnt orange next year. It just isn't that simple. The Isaac Brown ordeal from Sunday night reminded me a bit too much of the Kenneth Grant or Mason Graham saga from last year. Or the rumors around Peter Woods from Clemson after the CFP game. Or Chris Bell, who also returned to Louisville. Or even for guys who did enter the portal. Remember the Jordan Addison deal as well? Or the connection to David Bailey and Lee Hunter a year ago. It is no secret agents and players use the Texas name and logo to garner extra dollars from the school they originally wanted to stay at. The list of names Texas is rumored to be after mirrored that of an all-conference lineup. Some have entered the portal. Some have not. If Sunday night taught us anything about the rumored targets, it is that there is both reason for optimism and hesitancy. I hate being wrong. And when I said it sounded like Brown and Texas were nearing a marriage, it's because that was what was portrayed to me. Yet, I was wrong. Louisville went full LA Clippers in 2015 to re-sign DeAndre Jordan this weekend. And it worked. What gets overlooked at times is, hey, some other schools are in positions where they need to match the desperation of Texas. However, there is no reason Texas should not be one of the most aggressive schools in the country when it comes to the portal this window. Arch Manning's final year + one of the game's most instant gamebreakers in Colin Simmons spearheads your defense. Again, I do believe Texas is going to fill the majority of its needs If going All In is the true message this year, there is no reason to penny pinch. No reason to sit on money. No reason to look for deals. You do what is required to get the deal done. That goes for Cam Coleman, the Michigan offensive linemen and for now, whatever is necessary to get a true bell cow at Texas for 2026. I guess to wrap this up, my approach to Texas in the portal moving forward is this: Texas will be aggressive. How aggressive? I don't know. History tells me they will finish 2nd or 3rd in portal fights that they would have liked to have won when looking back around week 3 or week 9 of the season.

UTSA EDGE Kenny Ozowalu is on campus currently at Texas. Ozowalu was at Oklahoma on Saturday.

Report out of Louisville.

Chiumento went to eat at Terry Black's this afternoon with a couple of special teams' assistants. Texas BBQ once again does the trick. Now, the Longhorns have their 2026 punter.

Chiumento went to eat at Terry Black's this afternoon with a couple of special teams' assistants. Texas BBQ once again does the trick. Out of his 27 punts, 13 ended up inside the 20 yard line. He averaged 44.0 yards per punt as well.

Let me go get my Cheez-It hat! Great news and can't wait to see more Rod B intel and takes over here at OTF!

Florida State DB Edwin Joseph, who visited Texas on Saturday, is at Texas A&M today.

On campus Sunday … Florida State P Mac Chiumento 27 punts in 2025, had an average of 44.0, a long of 56 and 13 inside the 20.

Several parents are sitting in a reserved section at the Texas Basketball game tonight. Players should file in soon.

Arch Manning is expected to accompany Cam Coleman tonight at dinner.

If you want the tldr, too much of that money was spent on WRs that didn’t see the field.

Very good in man coverage
