Today I learned about the heat death of the universe scenario- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Anyone describing recruiting as boring right now is an absolute masochist. They miss the pain and torture of pining for a 5 star (or a reasonable 4 star) that we had no realistic shot at landing. Malik-mas was fun and all as an example of what landing a highly recruit felt like during the Mack, Strong, and Herman days. But, I much rather land 5 star recruits like it's a regular everyday thing and experience the schadenfreude watching recruiting for OU, A&M, and the old vanguard of the SEC.- OU Recruiting 2026: Burnt Vegetables
This is the good stuff. When fans write this "wish-into-existence" content, you know that fanbase hasn't fully accepted the reality that is in front of them. If there was such a thing as a potential misery scale (calculated as: fan expectation - non-fan rational expectation) for the upcoming football season, I think OU has to be at the top. I can't wait to see this play out in 2025.- NIL Recruiting News Megathread
My feeling is that Saban probably thinks he can get everyone on board with getting college sports back to exactly the way he likes it, and he probably thinks this commission is his golden opportunity to do it because he thinks he has the power and leverage to do it... Because gosh darnit he's the GOAT and they built a statue for him. But this commission will allow other people with real power, money, and leverage to insert their views and they will check Saban on his dream. Saban will likely throw some real temper tantrums because he isn't going to get exactly what he wants. He's going to end up looking like a fool that wants to keep things exactly the way they are, but everybody else is ready and willing to accept forms of change. After a while people will realize grandpa is losing it and it's time to put him in a home.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Dakorien Moore committed on July 4th last year. My body is ready for this.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
The summer time recruiting meltdowns are enjoyable. Dakorien Moore picking Oregon and DT recruiting going to shambles last summer were great "our pets' heads are falling off" moments. If I had to pick two spots where we could see something similar this year, I am picking our top RB targets committing elsewhere and Turntine committing elsewhere. To be clear, I don't hope those things happen. But I think those things happening will cause the Surly servers to reach their max temperature thresholds.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - I'm With Stupid
Rereading this... I misinterpreted the "education module" to mean academic requirements. Instead, it's some "transfer portal education" check-the-box training. Still, the "or" clause at the end makes it sound like a player can take forever to do the training module then actually have his name entered the transfer portal. Not sure if this may be the case with the mystery WR, but I don't think any grad transfer has done this yet. Sorry for any false hope here.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - I'm With Stupid
My bad, I accidentally hit submit before adding in everything else. I edited the original now.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - I'm With Stupid
I think there is still a window for grad students to transfer. The bold portion reads as though a student's name might not appear until completing all academic requirements. So, the potential WR could have notified the school, but the school can't put the name in until that player has graduated. https://web3.ncaa.org/lsdbi/reports/getReport/90008 13.1.1.4.2 Notification of Transfer -- Postgraduate Student-Athletes. A student-athlete who will participate as a postgraduate student at another institution following the next regular academic term or academic year (two semesters/three quarters) may initiate the notification of transfer process at any time between October 1 and the end of the final period specified for the applicable sport in Bylaw 13.1.1.4.1 by providing the student-athlete's institution with a written notification of transfer and completing an educational module related to transferring. The student-athlete's institution shall enter the student-athlete's information into the national transfer database within two business days of receipt of a written notification of transfer from the student-athlete or receipt of confirmation of the student-athlete's completion of the educational module, whichever occurs later.

This doesn't read like these are the actual rules in place right now. Terms of "moving forward" "are expected to" are too gray.- OU Recruiting 2026: Burnt Vegetables
Do I have OUs NIL strategy correct? - splurge on a handful of key impact positions (e.g., QB), portal or highschool - most of NIL goes to highschool recruiting, which should be cheaper than portal recruiting or roster retention. - hope they can be competitive in NIL to keep some of their current from portalling - deep value investing (e.g., FCS) in the portal to fill voids because they don't have money left after the 3 items above- $9.95 worth every penny
Might have to change the title of this sub forum soon assuming the acquisition will drive base prices up across on3/Rivals and 247. Maybe $19.95?- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Too soon- Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
The deadline is just for players to register in the portal to be eligible to transfer to another school. They can decide which school to transfer to after the portal closes. So, Bobby is saying Texas will see how the dust settles when the portal closes with 1) its own roster (how many and which spots open up), and 2) what players are available in the portal to fill any vacancies on the roster.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

You can't use an average value as the only means to define a range of values. I don't care if you actually end up being right, but this a horrible way to try to make a point. Assuming a normal bell curve of data, 50% of OTs are under 6'6". If that is the case, then some could say there could be many OTs under 6'5". But you only gave us the average value and tried to pass it off as the minimum.- Texas Offseason 2025 - Archmania Is Upon Us

"Hope York earholes him next November" That hope implies York is/will be good. That's more outlandish than proclaiming Manning will win the Heisman.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
