    Glad things are moving now. But just read Zion Williams to LSU this Saturday. Then Spring Game , then Official visit in June. That's 3, and every time he talks about Bo it is nothing but love . Follow the visits ha! Kenny needs to camp out in Lufkin and carry Choice, Banks, and Gilbert for sure🤣🤘

    Kelce gonna blackball him 🤣. Obviously he doesn't listen to her music. Good interview though. Think he was kinda unfairly criticized last year. Seems like a pretty good kid and wish him the best. Look at his Texas #'s for his career. Pretty elite company.🤘🤘

    Nice catch on the article. Texas Pro Day on the 20th should help more for guys like Whitt and Ford and Robinson. Only thing I see that is crazy is the score for Xavier #18 in wr. Guarantee 17 aren't going before him but I understand about rankings. Think he moved to a 1st round guy or at least high 2nd round. Would Love to see Murphy Mitchell Sweat and Xavier hit that 1st round. I know I'm greedy ha, but those guys + Sanders should be high. Hopefully the rest gets drafted, but I bet all 11 make a team and maybe Sanborn punting🤘

    He was awesome and miss his kind of professionalism. Never yelling and screaming to say look at me, or make the story about him. He gave good solid information in a classy fair way. Not many left like him or John Clayton. May they both RIP!

    Great idea and show🤘🤘

    So for Texas Pro Day on the 20th , I know the 11 combine guys + Punter Sanborn may participate. The only other guy I can think of is Jett Bush if he is interested. Didn't think of anymore that might work out Am I overlooking anybody? Just curious , seems we have had more to work out in the past that weren't invited. Oh well it's almost here and Spring Ball 1st practice is the 19th🤘

    Don't know enough on baseball to comment on Pierce and his future. What I do know is going to the SEC is going to be much tougher in most sports than the Big 12. Football, baseball for sure, track for sure etc. Ready to see how we respond in all the sports, but gonna be brutal in quite a few of them compared to the Big 12 imo.

    This Tennessee President knows where this is headed btw

    Throwing in the white towel finally!! Meet with the Attorney General' s huh? Settlement? Nah they will try and find a way to keep losing cases, yet paying millions to their lawyers🤣. Tennessee broke em, and the SEC and BIG 10 may just bury them as well real soon!!

    Damn aliens got revenge on him for his no planet mindset🤣🤣

    As long as Baker is talking to Brown and Zion everyday as well then things are better 🤘

    Conor Stalions is bummed today 🤣. No more sidelines for him for sure. Guess he can work on his Manifesto, or a way to hack those helmets👍

    Still hope if a great Pro Day, but not the same imo as showing the skills at the combine. Still think he can be an asset somewhere but more than likely the free agent route. Maybe could have made himself more $ this weekend, but sure he takes care of his NIL. His future is bright if not football no doubt.

    I blame the guys that hired him. Remember we had a President that was clueless on athletics.Remember him jumping on the plane to help hire an OC for Strong omg . An interim AD that was by trade a lawyer and awesome UT ex but out of his element, and should have never been the AD that long. That set us back as well, not his fault. So no alignment like we have now. We all know how it would have ended pretty much. So lucky to have Elife, CDC, Hartzell, and Sark now. I don't even wanna think how behind we would be if we kept him much longer. There are reasons no big time teams tried to hire him then , or now I'll just leave it at that. The stories are out there .

    Wish it was so easy to pick up 2 DL this late. Only real hope there is a Michigan guy or 2 jumps in. And then a bidding war. Usually don't get great ones this late at that position. Just hope Baker can develop what we have and go from there.Losing those 2 great ones and J. Ford was always gonna be tough to replace to that level. We seem better on the edges and back end though. Great notes thanks!

    I could only find 2 out of 33 that confines that but you could be right. I just don't see anymore than Arkansas and .Missouri at the moment. Most others seem to be anywhere they want to sign. It is all pretty crazy but fully expect Texas to address the Law again if need be. It is just all these court rulings and cases who knows what comes next ha!
  18. TTown
    From my reading of it I only see Missouri and Arkansas with in state stuff. There are currently 33 states that allow and others considering. Most read that they can get the $ no matter where they sign. Again not sure if it is a big disadvantage yet, but can see it coming if we don't amend it . But that would next legislative session so good luck between now and then ha. May not affect UT as much considering our model of doing it, but I bet other schools like Tech would love to be able to offer asap to kids in state. Good discussion and who knows things change so fast just hold on tight ha.
  19. TTown
    Yeah I can see both sides here tbh. As a member of THSCA I disagree and believe they should get that right. Many other states have amended their laws to allow. I agree on a smaller scale we might be ok, Wingo as an example, but larger I'm not sure. Interesting debate and your points are valid. But man if a kid can get that $ and offer early, I think it puts us and all Texas schools at a disadvantage. Who knows. Hell as crazy as things are I wouldn't be surprised to see a Texas athlete sue over this law. Why not everybody else is🤣🤘

    Just realized unless we change Texas law no Texas schools can make offers to high school kids now. Totally forgot that even with new NIL ruling. Many other states amended their laws. Disadvantage?
  22. TTown
    I trust your insight of course. Guess I have never been sold on Baker being the best we could get at this critical position. But need to be fair as well and trust those that know way more than me on this. Hope he spends a lot of time in Lufkin 🤘

    I know the rule applies to SEC teams as you have to be in portal by Feb 1 or you can't transfer within the Conference, have to sit a year. Just didn't know if it included us and OU yet for sure.I mean we may be bound by it even though we don't enter officially until July. It is still in effect.
  24. TTown
    As related to this hearing conflicting things. Are we bound now by the SEC transfer rules even if we aren't officially in the Conference. Example next portal none of our guys can transfer to a SEC school without sitting out a year. And vice versa anyone wanting to come to UT from the SEC? Just curious thanks anybody👍
  25. TTown
    Excellent post and my point all along. Yes know it is a temporary Injunction that still could take months before it changes. The Supreme Court has signaled where this is headed in the 2021 Alston ruling. Anybody that can't see that is delusional. Plus there are other antitrust suits out there as well NIL back pay in Cali, and transfer limits. So full speed ahead to Collectives and hopefully we take full advantage. Great post to the point👍
