I mean, we're pretty fucking desperate and it's too late to recruit someone to the portal who isn't a grad transfer. We're pretty fucked if we don't get Land. Odds of a late grad transfer hitting the market seem... low. I'm assuming Land would play off-the-ball LB for UT because he's too small to be an Edge player. But who would he start over at LB?

Believe he had 12 TFLs this past season. Dude was the number one portal guy for a reason. I'd have taken him. I'm just not sure going up into 7 figures for him was the right call for Texas..

May 2, 20223 yr I’m no mathematician, but that means he will probably have 3.5 TFLs and 2 sacks this year.

May 2, 20223 yr Just now, Barbacoa said: We had to lock Worthy down a while back. Programs have been coming after him since the season, especially Oregon. Don’t know if we had to re up due to some mega offer recently but I’d be surprised. Anyone else find it interesting that Phil Knight is tampering with players from Nike's #1 college revenue source (and I'm sure other Nike schools)? Quite the conflict of interests for a publicly held company. Dude needs to focus his tampering on Adidas and UA schools and lay off his moneymakers.

I'm guessing that the response rankings would be something like this: 1. To help Texas win recruiting battles - 50% 2. To reward the players - 30% 3. For that sweet Burnt Ends flair - 8% 4. For the lulz - 7% 5. "getting WAY MORE ACCESS into a position group in the form of interviews and appearances" - 5% Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I underestimate how many people really want to listen to Juan Davis on a podcast. 50% help win recruiting battles. 50% peer pressure and being told by everyone that you can't bitch about recruiting if you don't donate. I need to be able to bitch about recruiting.

There are literally laws in the state of Texas governing this, just because everyone is breaking the law doesn't mean the law doesn't exist. It looks like there are some compelling civil suits for things such as 'tortious interference in contract.'

However, I was told this afternoon that Worthy is “unequivocally, 100-percent staying” at Texas. “He’s not leaving,” the source told me. “You can take that to the bank.” He did.
May 2, 20223 yr I see that this thread has turned into a shit storm. No surprise. If you think things are bad now, with Crawford and Barron, get ready for full-on mass hysteria and complete chaos and anarchy. And as of right now, Texas is not going to fare well. The dismantling has begun. The big step to eventually solve this is probably a union and a collective bargaining agreement. We probably will have it in a few years after USC and a few other schools have sufficiently raped us and most other schools.

What's the incentive for the players to form a union or collectively bargain? They are getting more than they thought they would right now.

I feel like the probability of a Union is mixed. On one hand, superstar players and highly-rated guys buried in the depth chart likely have their earnings capped if they unionize. On the other hand, the 60-80 guys on the roster who don’t meet that bar probably get a lot more value by having the ability to collectively pressure schools, sponsors etc.
