That guy has bust written all over him. He’s in it for the NIL and NIL only. 

Even if he's not a bust on the field, he seems like a headcase who will duck out at any sign of adversity.

Where are y'all getting this impression from?

Not doubting it, just genuinely curious.

His entire recruiting history and his one year in college, thus far.

Every sign points to him being "all about me," but not in a mature or professional "I'm going to maximize my value" type of fashion. It's more of a blatantly egocentric style, IMO. The next school he commits to will be his fourth (Miami, UF, ASU, next school) in a three-year period.

Obviously, it's conjecture on my part. However, this type of timeline routinely indicates bust and/or locker room cancer.

Dude signed with Florida and then requested a release from his LOI because the NIL deal fell through. Which, I kinda get. But he seemed like a total pre-madonna on his way out.

And Bill, Austin traffic is always that wide open, no issues at all. C’mon over!

This is our program under Sark. He’s able to clear Austin traffic for recruits.

Looking forward to Bill Norton's mediocre run with the nWo B team

Damn, old school WCW nWo late 90s reference.

Yes, I know it was Scott Norton.

I know I shouldn't waste any time thinking about it but holy shit stuff like this massive interest from every target makes me hate some of our former coaches even more. Most of us in this forum knew that if we could just stop stepping on our own dicks for maybe a little while and win anything meaningful that the floodgates would open. Obviously rivals tried to argue Texas was done (even some idiots on the football board tried to say we were just living in the past and weren't actually that desirable of a place to coach and play), but this is already happening after winning one conference title and losing one playoff game. That's all we've done. 

Sarkisian is not an elite head coach yet to me. He's young enough that he can get there and he's trending well but he isn't there yet. But dammit after living through the last decade-and-a-half just simply not fucking up what has been handed on a plate seems like a damn miracle well worth what we're paying him now. Came in as NIL and transfer rules opened up to our benefit. But you're a fool if you think the clowns previously in his position wouldn't have screwed it up anyway.

SDE?  Is that his assumed position at Texas?

DT and he doesn't weigh 275.

#UCLA transfer DT Jay Toia is a four-star with a 90 overall grade in the portal. 36 career games at UCLA. Upper-tier interior DL presence that will command high NIL $ #Bruins

With the money we’re paying him, he shouldn’t schedule the spring game during a thunderstorm. Red flag.

I realize that it's just the way the new reality and the way the game has got to be played now by any coach who wants to win, but I wonder what Collins and Broughton are thinking with all these DL coming in.

I've accepted that we're probably gonna lose a dude who we would have expected to be part of the rotation soon.

I’m sure they are telling them that Murphy is going top 20 as a first year starter playing 35 snaps per game and that with their offense there’s another 35 back-up snaps available.  
 

All positions are open but if they can’t seize it in year five on campus, four in this defense then it’s not the coaches’ job to protect their feelings.

If we felt the need to bring in four DTs from the portal then I’m fine with a pretty thorough housecleaning at that position.

Meh, I'll gladly trade VB for any of these guys.

I don't want to lose Collins. However, I'd trade Collins and VB for Toia and one of the Michigan DTs.

Unless you're moneybags Max Merril, with the portal at a place like Texas, it's up or out.

An inside combo of Toia and Collins has potential. It’s a very similar dynamic to last years duo. Collins was one of the top inside defenders in win rate in the country last year. A plug and a disrupter.

I feel the same way. If we bring in four players in the portal, who gives a shit who transfers outside of true freshman January. If we had to bring in four defensive tackles, we didn’t have the right players on the roster.
