December 5, 20241 yr 20 minutes ago, Gene Parmesan said: Whatever state income tax you pay is deductible from you federal.Ā As long as the state rate < federal rate, it doesn't make a difference other than timing. Not really that simple. If you pay overĀ the standard deduction which ranges from $14,600 to $29,200( depending on filing status) in state taxes you can deduct the taxes. If you do itemize the state taxes it is not dollar for dollar. Assume you are in a 25% marginal tax bracket and pay $30,000 in state taxes, you will save $7,500 in federal income taxes, $30,000 x 25%= $7,500. The $30,000 reduces your AGI by the $30,000 , which is what your federal tax is based. In reality , since the standard deduction i, say for a single person is $14,600, you will only save $30,000-$14,600 = $15,400 , $15,400 x 25%=$3,850. So only your federal taxes are reduced $3,850 by paying $30,000 in state taxes.

If you are able to deduct the taxes you lose the standard exemption you get anyway. Plus it only reduces your agi, the amount subject to the federal marginal tax rate. If you are in a 25% bracket , 30,000 of state taxes will save you at most the excess over your standard deduction x 25%. 30,000 -14,600(single) x 25%= $3,850.

That's the whole point of "not sure Kirby is going to let a 5 star in-state DL go to Texas" comments. There's an expectation that Georgia is going to match whatever is needed in the end in order to retain the guy. Georgia might be out of gas though.

Auburn's offering, in yet another cycle, is that they have a lot of money to pay a player and the current roster sucks so badly that said player can play significantly immediately.

The least amount of draft picks produced by Bama in more than a decade was 7 in 2022. That class still included 2 1st rounders. The last 2 drafts have seen double digit picks each year and 6 1st rounders total. Until there's some sort of fall off, a discount will probably be a thing for a bunch of guys. Bama didn't sign a top 5 class this cycle by slinging around top level cash.Ā I assume the allegedly very competitive offer to Terry is being put forward for the simple reason that he's an outstanding prospect at a position of desperate need for Texas.

HORNS247 STAFF Ā Ā Hide contents Ā The Stampede: Way-too-early 2025 class predictions Another way-too-early prediction for the Longhorns recruiting haul in 2025. HORNS247 STAFF Ā Horns247 is back with another edition of The Stampede, Horns247ās weekly gathering of recruiting intel, and in this edition we're doing another way-too-early 2025 class prediction.Ā It's important to remember that we're still in the month of February and in todays age of College Football with NIL and the NCAA Transfer Portal, truly anything can happen between now and Early Signing Day.Ā That said, it's still way too early in the cycle for us to feel particularly amazing about every prospect on this list which brings up a great reminder that this series is more for fun than anything else at this point in time.Ā ā For those curious, Hank was in charge of offense and Jordan was in charge of defense. Without further ado, let's get into it.Ā Ā QUARTERBACK Saraland (Ala.) four-star KJ Lacey ā Texas commitĀ Quarterback hasnāt been considered a position of need for Texas in quite a while. But with the expectation being Quinn Ewers will enter the NFL Draft next spring, that will leave just two scholarship quarterbacks on the roster in Arch Manning and Trey Owens. The Longhorns addressed this early, landing Lacey last summer. Heās been the foundation of the 2025 class thus far, Laceyās reaffirmed his pledge to the Longhorns on numerous occasions, despite still taking visits to programs like Auburn, Alabama, and Ole Miss. Lacey is helping UT recruit and appears firm in his decision. He recently told Horns247ās Jordan Scruggs heāll be in Austin twice this spring ā once for the spring game and again prior to April 20. He also visited campus in January. So far, no other quarterbacks have emerged on the radar for Texas in 2025, which is another indicator as to how Texas views both Lacey as a prospect and his commitment status. Ā RUNNING BACK Santa Ana (CA) Mater Dei four-star Jordon Davison Tyler Chapel Hill three-star Rickey Stewart Davison has been arguably running backs coach Tashard Choiceās top guy on the board since early in the process. Thatās reflecting in his recruitment, too, as the elite ball carrier from the West Coast has trekked out to Austin a half dozen times, most recently with his family for Junior Day. With a national profile, programs like Alabama, Colorado, Ohio State, and others, are all in the picture. But sources close to the situation feel UT has set the pace in this one. Thereās been debate in the past about who else could join the fold, particularly from within the state of Texas. Stewart has emerged as the most likely candidate to fill that void. Horns247ās Jordan Scruggs recently placed a Crystal Ball prediction in favor of the Longhorns. Stewart earned an offer from Texas at Junior Day, at the time committed to SMU. Heās since backed off that pledge to the Mustangs if that tells you anything. Ā WIDE RECEIVER Duncanville five-star Dakorien Moore ā LSU CommitĀ Santa Ana (CA) Mater Dei four-star Marcus Harris Alamo Heights four-star Michael Terry III (ATH)Ā In wide receivers coach Chris Jacksonās first full cycle with the Longhorns, Texas landed undoubtedly the strongest wide receivers group in the country, factoring in both the high school and transfer ranks. Looking towards 2025, and the state of Texas is loaded at the position. And it could come down to first come, first serve with the amount of talent out there. The only exception to that is Moore, whoās currently committed to LSU. Heās obviously already made a decision, but the Longhorns are going to continue pressing to flip the Bayou Bengals pledge to the end. Thereās been optimism at times as to Texasā chances, speaking to sources. Texas has to keep getting him on campus and chipping away. Harris, like the aforementioned Davison, has been to Texas on a handful of occasions, and will return on April 18 as Horns247 reported over the weekend. A recruit with a national profile, plenty of programs across the country are in play for Harris, but Texas appears the best positioned, per sources. And weāve felt that way really since last summer. Weāll continue to watch this one play out, but our pick is on the Longhorns. Last but not least, Terry earned an offer from Texas at Junior Day and the Longhorns immediately vaulted up his list. Weāll include him in the wide receiver group as an athlete. TCU and Texas A&M are also heavily in the picture, as is Nebraska where he recently set an official visit. Weāre going with UT for now.Ā Footnotes: As noted, this wide receivers class could go in a few different directions, and could be dependent upon timing for some of these guys. Others like Andrew Marsh, Kaliq Lockett, Taz Williams Jr, Jaime Ffrench, etc., are all high on Texasā radar and could find their way in this group in a later mock class edition based off when they make their decisions. Ā TIGHT END Calhoun (GA) four-star Emaree Winston ā Texas commitĀ Jasper four-star Kiotti Armstrong Tight end is another spot Horns247 identified as a top five position of need. The Longhorns could be losing three scholarship tight ends next offseason and will need to bolster the group. Winston was an early commit to the Longhorns and a versatile prospect Texas identified and pressed for in the fall. Heās continuously reaffirmed his pledge to the Longhorns after choosing Texas over Ohio State and UCF. We went with Armstrong over Nick Townsend as the second tight end in the group, at least for now. The Jasper standout has connected with both Steve Sarkisian and Jeff Banks on visits and is feeling the press. This one could come down to Texas vs. Texas A&M. The Longhorns recently landed Armstrongās teammate, via flip from the Aggies, in linebacker Tyanthony Smith. Ā OFFENSIVE LINE Lewisville five-star tackle Michael Fasusi Bridgeland four-star tackle lineman Jonte Newman DeSoto three-star tackle Byron Washington Port Neches-Groves three-star interior lineman Jackson Christian Cedar Hill interior Jordan Coleman Cedar Hill interior Devin Coleman Texas only signed three offensive linemen in 2024, but still has quality depth at the position group overall. We believe 2025 will certainly yield more signees at the position. And doesnāt get much bigger than Fasusi. The Longhorns are battling with Oklahoma most notably for the stateās top lineman. Newman earned an offer from the Longhorns last summer and is high on the program, among others like Alabama, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M, makeup a part of his top eight. Washington is another prospect Texas has been moving up the list for since last summer. He fits the bill of what Kyle Flood recruits at the position at 6-foot-7.5, 380 pounds. Oregon and TCU are also heavily in the picture. Christian was a lineman Texas identified as its camp last summer and offered early, well before any other major schools. That could pay off in its race with Texas A&M for the in-state lineman. Last but not least, the Longhorns staff are impressed with OL brother duo Jordan and Devon Coleman. UT offered the latter recently, which leads us to believe Texas is in the driverās seat for both at this juncture.Ā Footnotes: This doesnāt mean Texas isnāt in the race for other highly-coveted in-state linemen like Ty Haywood or Lamont Rogers ā they are. We feel the makeup of this combination of recruits for now makes the most sense. Ā DEFENSIVE LINE Texarkana (TX) Pleasant Grove four-star Lance Jackson ā Texas commit Melbourne (FL) Eau Gallie three-star Brandon Brown ā Texas commit Lufkin three-star Zion Williams Spring three-star Floyd Guidry Cy-Fair three-star Landon Rink After only signing two defensive lineman in 2024 when the original hope was to sign four, itās safe to say that Texas is going to need to sign a larger quantity of true defensive lineman in 2025. Lance Jackson is already committed and while heās listed by 247Sports as a defensive line prospect, he has the frame, athleticism, and abilities to play either defensive line or edge at the next level. Brandon Brown is also obviously committed, but with his situation of committing to play for Bo Davis before ever visiting Texas once weāre treating him as a soft commit but will still be including him on this list. Jacksonās positional flexibility gives Texas a lot of options with how they decide to fill in the rest of the defensive line haul. As of now, Zion Williams, Floyd Guidry, and Landon Rink are the three who currently make the most sense to join Brown and Jackson in the Longhornsā class. Some sources around Rink believe that Oklahoma and Texas A&M are currently better positioned than Texas is, but regardless of how true that is Iām still rocking with my Texas crystal ball for the time being. With the legacy factor being involved amongst other things this one just feels very similar to Colton Vasekās recruitment and I ultimately like the Longhornsā chances to eventually turn momentum around. To add sprinkles to the cake, Rinkās father and Vasekās father happened to be gameday roommates during their time on the Forty Acres. Texas will have to battle TCU, Texas A&M, and LSU for Zion Williams but Iām going to gamble that Kenny Baker will be able to get it done. TCUās defensive line coach Jamarkus McFarland has been family friends with Williamsā family since Williams was a toddler. The new Texas A&M staff is coming on strong, and Williams happened to be one of Bo Davisā first offers once he got to LSU and the Bayou Bengals got him to campus for a visit rather quickly. Outside of LSU which is effectively an extension of East Texas being in Baton Rouge, it would be a big shock to just about everyone if Williams was to leave the state for college. Floyd Guidryās recruitment might be the most cut and dry of the defensive line group as Guidry grew up pulling for the Longhorns telling Horns247 he has several burnt orange jerseys in his closet at home. Bo Davis and LSU are surging a little bit after offering, but ultimately this feels like Texasā recruitment to lose regardless of whoās coaching the Longhornsā defensive line.Ā Footnotes: A dream scenario for Texas would be to add Dilan Battle and/or DJ Sanders to this list as both of those guys present more of the gap plugging type that Zion Williams is rather than the gap shooting type that Guidry and Rink are. Battle seems too open at this time to make the call to include him on this list whereas Sanders really seems to be trending to A&M. While thereās plenty of things up in the air about Sandersā recruitment, itās starting to feel like itās a universal understanding across the industry that Sanders will end up either in College Station or Austin. Ā EDGE Dallas South Oak Cliff four-star Kamauryn Morgan Humble Summer Creek four-star Chad Woodfork There isnāt much new to report on with Kamauryn Morgan. Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Texas A&M, and SMU have been the schools with the most buzz for several months and thatās continued as weāve gotten further into the offseason. Texas continues to be the school with the most buzz around them according to a source near Morgan and the same source takes the Longhorns vs the field each time the question is asked. Morgan is also in an almost identical boat to Lance Jackson to where he has the athleticism, frame, and abilities to be either a defensive lineman or true EDGE at the next level. That said, if Texas was to earn his commitment theyād have two guys who are 6-foot-5 defensive line chess pieces. Thatād be a great class on its own, but we also think Texas will get one more potential EDGE prospect in Chad Woodfork. Woodforkās recruitment has also remained largely the same for the most part with Georgia, Texas, Texas Tech, and USC continuing to be the schools with the most buzz around them. Of the major power five programs involved in the recruitment, Texas was the first to offer which has paid dividends for them as the recruitment has gone on. Woodfork also often speaks about being big on academics, and the Longhorns trump the rest of the field besides USC in that category as well. While Woodfork and Micah Hudson are very different kids, Woodfork is someone who I could see passing up the bigger offers to go to Texas Tech as itās clear he has a few special relationships with that staff. That said, Woodfork also hasnāt taken any out-of-state visits so itās crucial that Pete Kwiatkowski continues to chip away at the recruitment as Bo Davis was originally Woodforkās primary recruiter before leaving for LSU due to Davis being the area recruiter for Summer Creek.Ā Ā LINEBACKER Shadow Creek three-star Anthony Williams ā Texas commit McKinney four-star Riley Pettijohn Dallas Skyline four-star Elijah Barnes Florida State, Ohio State, Texas A&M, and USC will be who Texas has to battle for Riley Pettijohn but we continue to like the Longhornsā chances down the stretch as Hank South has already put in a crystal ball prediction in favor of Texas to land Pettijohn. Jeff Choate did a great job laying the groundwork in the recruitment and Johnny Nansen did a great job of making the transition as smooth as possible. Barnes on the other hand will be a battle between Florida State, LSU, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, and Texas A&M. While we donāt have any crystal ball predictions in for Barnes quite yet, we do think like Pettijohn that Barnes will eventually end up with the Longhorns. Former Texas linebacker Peter Jinkens is Barnesā position coach at Skyline, Barnes likes the proximity to home Austin can offer, and the same things I said about Choate and Nansenās recruitment of Pettijohn could be said for Barnesā recruitment. While Pettijohn and Barnes often get the most attention when it comes to talking about linebackers in 2025, many forget how dynamic, versatile, and how high the ceiling of Anthony Williams is. The trio of Williams, Pettijohn, and Barnes would be a smaller quantity of backers than the often talked about 2023 linebacker haul, but in my opinion itād be right up there with 2023 for the best group of linebackers Steve Sarkisian has signed since arriving in Austin in January of 2021.Ā Ā DEFENSIVE BACK Shadow Creek four-star Cobey Sellers Fort Bend Hightower three-star Kade Phillips Klein Oakās Courtland Guillory Even though thereās a crystal ball prediction in favor of Oklahoma for Cobey Sellers, his recruitment is far from over. At this point in the process I and just about everyone would be incredibly surprised if the decision doesnāt come down to the Red River Rivals. LSU and Georgia could make it interesting, but again the decision is expected to be between Texas and Oklahoma. Oregon and Texas A&M were included in Sellersā top six but for now both are non-factors. Texas missed on Jaboree Antoine and wonāt be able to afford not splitting the two of Sellers and Dorian Brew. Where things stand right now, I like Texasā chances with Sellers more. Oklahoma built a lot of momentum with Sellers in the early spring, but with a decision expected to come late summer at the earliest I like the chances of Texas swinging things their way by the time official visit season has come and gone. For months Kade Phillips had been thought of as a Texas A&M lock behind the scenes but that went out the window when the Longhorns recently offered as a source told Horns247 the Texas offer was the offer Phillips had been wanting the most out of any other schools. Guillory on the other hand has tripped to Texas A&M and Oklahoma but a source close to him continues to mention Texas as the school being held in highest regard.Ā Footnotes: I could see us eventually including Dorian Brew on this list but the differing intel around him is making me play it safe and not include him for now. While some believe itās Texas with the most buzz, others believe Ohio State never lost it. I think both Devin Williams and Major Preston could be possibilities but they have to make it to campus first for that to hold true. Caleb Chester is in the same tier as Phillips and Guillory in my opinion but he wouldnāt make as much sense as the other two and with Texas having signed five defensive backs in 2024 I wouldnāt expect a super large haul in 2025.Ā Ā Ā Too lazy to find one of Gerry's predictions but always love looking back at these especially from February-May or so and seeing how it compares to the signed class and man the defensive intel from the beginning of the cycle was WAY off

There is a juvenile understanding of what elite OLs look like, so the default is "that guy is huge! he must be awesome!" -Davison, Moore, Ffrench, ZWilliams, Shanklin, Brew and JWilliams will all be serious NIL recruitments, to say nothing of the potential for that in a number of other spots. If one of the other schools in any of those goes nuts, it's unlikely that Texas lands them. That's important to remember in the context of who has a robust NIL set-up, like Ohio State or Oregon, versus those who do not, like OU and LSU. If LSU decides they have to have Moore, they're unlikely to land some other guys. And they have to deliver in uncomfortable ways already to sign Underwood. OU can't just toss ridiculous dough at JWilliams without facing real consequences everywhere else. Meanwhile, Texas and OSU likely are likely not interested in a bidding war on anyone, because they'll just hurt each other and strengthen the rest of the field. The Davison recruitment is probably more informative there than the Brew recruitment. OSU already has 2 5 star DBs in the class, so they'd be idiots to try and spike things on Brew.
