Potential Next Route for Portal CB
If Harbaugh leaves; and, they don't promote Moore, I still don't expect to see the carnage that we saw with Alabama's roster. Michigan doesn't have the depth of Blue Chip recruits on their roster that Alabama, Georgia and now Texas have. They don't recruit to the level of Ohio State either. So, the guys on their roster aren't seeing as difficult a path to the field as these other schools. They also aren't sacrificing NIL and early playing time to be coached by Nick Saban and having that four lane freeway to the NFL. It also feels to me like there's just a little bit more loyalty on the Michigan roster than there was with Alabama.

So 'The Athletic' predicts an 11-1 record for Texas in 2024, with a loss to....
Yeah, my prediction for last year was also for us to go undefeated and win the national championship. Then I had a speeding Oklahoma twice. Good season anyway though. Love where we're headed.

Well, there are three obvious potential losses. Georgia, Oklahoma & Texas a&m. I'm just going to predict that we went all of them. We win the SEC championship with a second win over Georgia then continue our run through the playoffs to a national championship. With the current playoff setup for the coming year, we might actually get a third shot at Georgia.

CBS Sports: Quinn Ewers is the "best college football player that made the decision to return"
I believe these two guys go head to head in Austin at DKR this coming season.

Well, it looks like a potentially insurmountable lead for Alabama at this point.

Recruiting versus portal
Like a lot of fans I'm sure, I struggle with high school versus portal. I really want to believe that we're using the portal to fill holes. I hope Bobby is correct when he says that portal usage will go down after this year. I understand we need to use it whenever possible, or needed. I just like the idea of developing our own guys.

Welcome to On Texas Football!
By the way, I love that instead of a "like", we have the Hook 'Em". Unfortunately, there is a limit to how many of these we can use on a daily basis.

Afternoon Junior Day Notes
Great information, Blake. Usually I take the lazier route and just click a reaction. However, reactions seem to be limited on the site and I have reached my limit for the day.

Defensive Tackles
So...... There's this guy I watch on YouTube a lot (Bobby Burton) who thinks we need two of these guys. I do wonder, however, whether we really do. If we could find someone as big and talented as Sweat, hell yes! But, as you mentioned, I fully expect significant progress to be made by the guys that are already there. I don't see doom and gloom on the defensive line even if we don't bring in anyone through the portal. But if we could get a stud....

I posted this mostly for levity initially. However, now that I think about it a little bit, I wonder how many players of impact will come from the school's listed in the coming season. Also, how do we consider Blackshire? Does he count for Alabama or Duncanville? Or both?

New Portal Visitor?
I'll admit to being confused about the Covid year. Even after I looked it up, I'm not completely clear on this. But, it appears to me that if you enrolled in college in the fall of' 21, you don't qualify for the COVID-19 Waiver. "The COVID-19 Automatic Waiver criteria is based solely on the student's pre-seventh semester academic record and applies to all expected Spring/Summer 2020 graduates who initially enroll full time in 2020-21." Would this mean he only has one year left? I think he's rotational at best. We still need to find the Murphy / Sweat type guys.

Where will Texas rank in the 25 recruiting class
If I remember correctly, you can include the transfer portal and high school recruiting in the 247 rankings. Texas should definitely rank in the top three for 2025. Of course, I think they should do that every year.
