2026 RB Jett Walker
Mark Dantonio, Don Maynard, Ray Mickens, and more recently John Skelton. Not the most impressive list, but not deserving the scorn shown earlier.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Back in my P&G days, people always wanted to ski the ‘top ski hill in the Midwest’! A 300 ft vertical ski hill about 45 minutes outside Cincinnati. Https://perfectnorth.com

2028 Texas recruiting notes: hope my cholesterol levels won’t get me
It doesn’t appear that J Young (Vince’s son) has actually played. Anyone up on Kinkaid and his status?

Well, the UFL still holds a draft, doesn’t it? A&M might be planning on dominating that league.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Probably Gates BBQ, then. They truly believe that they have good BBQ up there. I don’t know how many times I’ve had to suffer through a lunch we’ve had Dickey’s level food with a customer.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
If you read her wall of text, he was originally denied by the NCAA because he had exhausted his 5 year eligibility window. So, after his D2 year, this would be a 7th year of eligibility to play 6!

Investing $300,000 in NIL would buy 12 - 15 point producing athletes if you avoid the sprinters. It wouldn’t take much to compete at the Championship level.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2027: I remember watching his dad play
He ran a 10.33 100m about a month ago. Holy crap! His highlights are him just outrunning angles and running through corners. That is some serious speed in a big back - and that was his freshman video!

He’s small but he makes up for that by being very slow. Was he a walk on?

The Portugal Thread
I would recommend more time in Porto. The city is like a postcard, so picturesque. The Douro Valley is even more spectacular. I spent 8 days in the area exploring. if you are in Lisbon and can’t spare a couple of nights for Porto, explore Cascais, Sintra, or Obidos. Each of those are a simple day trip. Going down to the Algarve is also nice. I’ve spent a week in the Lagos area and really enjoyed the people and vibe (lots of Brits there). As you might be able to tell, I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Portugal and really enjoy the area.

Tell me about the University of Southern California
Does USC now have cause to dump Riley? Timing could work wonderfully for them. Who would be the target with ties USC? They certainly can’t believe Sark or Kiffen would have interest!

This is fantastic! A couple of suggestions: add the latest line for games in the boxes view, make search easier with a type ahead feature loading conferences, ranked teams, etc., rename Width to “current lead” or “score differential”, and add FCS scores. Also, sizing gets wonky at times on my iPad. I realize you are just starting this design but I would think about a little contrast and space buffers.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
Sorry if this is well known, but someone had a spreadsheet tracking eligibility by position that included recruits. I am trying to get a sense of what needs are left vs the depth chart. Thanks in advance!

That’s a Georgia athlete with the same name. This Cortez Mills doesn’t appear to have ever run track.

Stanford and Harvard do not offer any academic scholarships. Purely need based. Cool story, though!

Aggy 2024: Still waiting on the Looch 44
I am surprised that we haven’t heard Barry Odom’s name, yet. Seems like a logical candidate with SECx3 experience and some success.

I don’t see any connections of DeBoer to Collie Station? UW is > A&M; Seattle is > College Station; B1 = SEC What kind of salary is DeBoer on? Can’t UW just match any offer?

Albeit, a very small sample size, he appears slow. As in makes Slo’neal look functional. I would venture not a take.

With the collapse of USCs NIL collectives (BLVD this week and Student Body Right last fall), do we see opportunities out west? Any insights on the USC situation going forward?
