oops.....wtf 😀 Lmao yeah that one’s on me - apparently my brain decided to run an RPO and kept the football tab open while the thread was clearly in softball mode. Been hydrating aggressively all day… just not with water.

I’ve really come around on softball too ---the pace and the constant pressure make it easy to stay locked in. The way the roster sticks together for years also makes it a lot easier to follow the team and actually feel connected to the players. Baseball just doesn’t hit the same for me. The games drag, the rhythm is slower, and it’s harder to stay engaged inning to inning. I still support the team, but the product doesn’t grab me the way softball does. The energy, the urgency, the way one mistake can flip everything - that’s what keeps me hooked.

I never even thought about that… great point. And honestly, Texas doesn’t really have that problem. Our class is elite, our evaluations are stable, and we’re not scrambling to protect a bunch of short‑term portal rentals. Sark and Harris built the roster with 5‑for‑5 in mind, so there’s no need to yank offers just to clean up a mess.

we could ask for

I'm pro Gerry here....Gerry and HI have been rock‑solid about handling things the right way. They stay ahead of the curve without stepping on a kid’s moment, and they’ve shown over and over they’ll respect whatever the recruit asks for. The early info is part of why HI is so valuable, but the way they manage it is why recruits trust them. Both things can be true

Johnson will announce at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, June 29 he got to be the HI 😀

Congrats, man - that’s awesome news. Hope the big weekend treats you right and everything goes smooth. Enjoy it, celebrate it, and don’t worry about Camara’s timeline. You’ve got the much bigger commitment on deck.

That all lines up with how TickPick operates. Their buyer protections are pretty strong, and the fact the seller doesn’t get paid until after the transfer and the event gives you a ton of leverage. The penalties for listing seats you don’t actually own are steep, so the system really pushes sellers to deliver exactly what they advertised. And yeah, last‑minute ticket hunting can get dicey, but with how their no‑fee setup works and how quickly transfers happen once UT loads everything, you’re in a solid spot. Sounds like you’ve got everything you need to book the rest of the trip without stressing over the tickets. Hope you have an awesome trip - sounds like it’s shaping up to be a good one.

TickPick is solid - use them quite a bit. The reason they show a late delivery date isn’t because the seller is sketchy - it’s because Texas doesn’t actually release the tickets to season ticket holders until late July or early August. Once UT loads the tickets into everyone’s accounts, most sellers transfer them pretty quickly. That 9/11 date is just the ‘latest possible’ window TickPick uses so they don’t over‑promise. And yeah --- one of the big reasons people use TickPick is the no‑fee pricing. What you see is what you pay, which is why their listings sometimes look better than StubHub or SeatGeek. If you bought with a credit card, you’re protected either way, but realistically you’ll have your tickets well before your trip.

I love the Colt story as much as anyone - it’s one of the best parts of Texas history. And honestly, that’s what makes this QB room fun. Every guy in it has a real path, and Sark’s track record says someone unexpected usually takes a big jump. If Arch does stay in 2027, it just gives Lacy, Bell, Knutson, and Laurence more time to develop the right way. Whoever rises out of that group is going to be a legit starter, not a placeholder. It’s a good problem to have again.

My only question is, who was 2nd?

Both girls headed to LSU

@Hank South @Bobby Burton Quick question for clarification: with today’s commitment, it looks like the class score increased slightly while the average rating stayed mostly unchanged. Can you confirm that’s the correct interpretation of how the rankings adjusted? Just want to make sure I’m understanding the system accurately.

yeah.....didn't know if you seen that one...did an edit on my original post
