Wells is a moron, but Brown was coming if he ever actually entered the portal. He posted a thank you note saying he was leaving, then Louisville held him hostage until he resigned. Zion is already in the portal, and he’s from Lufkin. That’s Wells’ neck of the woods. Also isn’t a hotly contested situation, so it will likely resolve itself in short order.
@immamac Depends where he’s located. 650 for the bundle you quoted at MC. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PnBfKq Minimal deal hunting. Only thing you gotta do is wait for an nvidia founders edition drop on the marketplace and you’ll get a 5080 at MSRP. The 5090s go fast, but the 5080s usually last for at least an hour. PNY 5080s and FEs also drop at Best Buy from time to time. Both sell for MSRP (999.99) Take the total and subtract about $228 if buying the MC bundle. Should be around $2036 pre tax.
Unless they’re selling those for $150, why would anyone want that? Best Buy had some white 5060 8gbs at $150 last week that sold out pretty quickly. And they regularly can be found around 230-270. Lots of budget cards in that range that can be had for very cheap too.
CJ is just as susceptible to knee jerking as the average poster. He’s gotten better about that since his TFB days, but it’s still there. More players will enter the portal, agents see what happened with Brown/Baugh getting cold feet and see an opportunity for their clients (and themselves) at Texas. Someone quality will shake loose. Waiting for more WR targets to pop up though.
This guy is pretty tiny, but he plays tough and he’s fast as shit. He would be a great option in the passing game and in two back sets. I think he was a Mater Dei kid too, so there’s definitely some familiarity
Basically a Jaydon Blue clone, haven’t watched him much this year but he was a listed as a WR at USC and played the change of pace role at ASU last year. He was a diva at USC and as a recruit. Great speed and good quickness though.
You could make a similarly spec’d pc for about 2150, and when you build your own you can ensure the quality of the components. If it’s mostly for gaming, you’re better off with a 9700x or 7800x3d. Both of these perform better, and can generally be found cheaper, than a 9900x.
Stick to making cute gifs pretending like you know what's going on during a given play. You're clearly out of your depth here. Why hasn't Will Randle portaled yet? Surely we would push him out in order to make room for Jack Endries. What a clown, but it's mildly entertaining so keep on I guess.
The craziest part about all this is that it was Livingstone, he is even less of a value add than DMo. He wasn't making much this year, and he thought it was his time to cash in. Maybe it is, but not on this team. For such a big time Longhorn, he apparently preferred OU through much of his recruitment. It wouldn't shock me at all if he ended up there. He's not worth whatever PR scheme you think is being played against him. He's a JAG, with limited upside. Good luck to him, unless he goes to OU. In that case, fuck him.
Money was clearly the reason why he left. Can't afford to keep him around when he's gonna be struggling for snaps next year. If he's worried about opportunity after as many snaps as he got this year, then he's a loser. It's about getting paid first and foremost. Nothing wrong with that.
@trythisathome I’m hopeful for him to make an instant impact, but we need someone who has proven to be capable/reliable on the FBS level at the very least.
Coleman is an AD Mitchell type, Wingo is a Cordarelle Patterson type. Both have a role on this team. Gotta bring in a shifty, RAC, burner type to give these guys more room to operate.
Christian Clark wasn't a highly ranked recruit at all. Had some great offers though. Choice got in on him early and had him sold as a 1B back in the class with Gibson. We passed on either Taylor Tatum or Jordon Davison to prioritize him.
Not a huge fan of Brown either, but Bobby seems convinced that he's part of Texas' solution at RB. His numbers are great though, and we won't need him to bell cow like Louisville did. If we could get him and Baugh while still fixing the IOL, I'm more than down with that. We also clearly need WR help/depth.
