Probably won't see a ton of time this year with the guys ahead of him. But I'm hoping we can keep most of the WR's around for next year, could be a really good bunch.

Said it in another thread but Texas is going to fight LSU hard for Royal.

Reading the tea leaves, it seems like Greedy is a likely flip. Royal, I think Texas is going to fight LSU for that one.

Camara and Rhoa would be a great additions to the OL class. Do you project Rhoa to be more of a G at the next level or do you think he's capable of both?

Well we knew with Kiffin there, they would be.

is the NIL for 2027 recruits separate from the funds they'll need to retain guys for next year? Or is it all one big pool and they just budget it accordingly. Either way, wish the young buck all the best if he does de-commit and hope wee can land some of our other targets.

I'm not sure why kids are so quick to commit and then continue to flip flop like a fish out of water.

Probably numerous sources. There is the Texas One Fund. I'm sure some of the BMD's chip in. There are many associated businesses with Texas alum, etc. Just my best guess anyway.

Both the Baseball and Softball pitching is going to be nuts next year.

Well I'm not a billionaire or they would be lol.

I'm excited to See J-Terry play more.

I was just making the hoke the Aggies liked to throw around about us before, that we weren't "SEC" ready and the players we recruited weren't "SEC" ready either. But I agree with your points.

He's not uh "SEC ready" although apparently neither are the Aggies.

Evan Stewart is on line 1!

Great stuff and glad to hear it. With Tinney leaving, this slots in very nicely for Texas. Great pick up by the staff.

Well I'm not going to continue going back and forth with you on it, so we don't clog up the thread lol. But I appreciate the back and forth, being respectful, etc. Appreciate the info, too.

Glad to hear.

Okay but nobody seems to be panicking about it and seems like a new hire could be in the works in a few days. I'm sure Schloss was aware of it. I just don't see it as a reason to go into full blown panic mode. Again, saying it's "no secret" but not providing any proof is still blowing smoke. I don't think Schloss would've bothered with the move to Texas if there was no investment into Baseball, which is a big deal at Texas. If you want more investment, you need to fight for it and show it. Sark had to do the same for Football. Now if it does bite us in the ass, I'll happily (or sadly) eat crow on it but right now I'm just not seeing the cause for panic.

I don't understand how losing our associate head coach is cause for such a meltdown? I doubt there's not money going into the program. Schloss doesn't seem like the type of dude that would've made the move if there was no investment in the program. Unless you can provide some actual proof to that, it just seems like blowing smoke.

Does the loss of the recruiting coordinator to A&M hamper going after portal targets or are they still solid in that regard?

True leadership.

You guys covering baseball did a fantastic job. I've had a blast learning the sport and watching the games, when I used to think baseball was boring af. Great season, disappointing end and here's to hoping we come back next year even stronger.

It's off-season, we don't really got a lot to talk about right now lol.

He was good against us, no doubt. Biggest issue was our bats going cold. In both games. Combination of those two things = no bueno.

Well that was my point. The WR coach is going to get more for a sport that pulls in more money vs a HC in a sport that doesn't. It's all relative. Plus with Patty her base salary is only 300k, the rest of it comes from private funds. At least according to a quick google search. Apparently their Softball program generates 4.1 million. So half their revenue is going toward the coach (hypothetically speaking). But they also spend more than they make at 7.7 million operating costs. Anyway, I'm just blabbing on at this point and you know what I'm talking about anyway.
