He followed Nansen to UA from UCLA. He’s so coming 

Again, he seems okay? Maybe he’s depth, more of an Ojomo guy.  We would still seem to need an NT-type

I know this kid will eventually be a stud.  But it was hilarious watching dad-bod Ethan Burke work him over all game for two sacks and multiple holds.

Went to go see if Ojomo played at all for the Eagles this season, and discovered this instead.

I forwarded it to Sweat via his gf. Waiting for his response.

Lots of NIL at Iowa?  Maybe just homesick I guess.  It's kind of shocking that running this guy out there as an overmatched true freshman all year was Bama's best option.

I've been told by friends who follows Arizona (in addition to being Texas fans) that he's a different style of player, but comparable in terms of talent and contribution. He's more of a lengthy, speedy guy than a gap filling run stopper. 

We don't need more of those.

Iowa was runner up on that recruitment. Pays to be in second sometimes

You better hope we don't sign the Baylor/Miss dude, then.

We’re apparently building a team to get out to big leads early and then have the NASCAR package on the DL to go after the QB when they are forced to pass by necessity. Or maybe with a better secondary we can commit more bodies to the box against the run.

I know nothing about Iowa’s NIL competitiveness. I do know they have a decent story to tell about OL development. But, there is something I’ve been wondering about B1G NIL…

The SEC has been the best conference because that’s where the best concentration of players is, along with programs that have rabid and large support. Their supporters, though, are mostly big southern dummies. 
 
The B1G has large support, too, not as rabid, but (probably?) more prosperous. The B1G has a better media contract to support their ADs, and they have the potential for larger NIL support than their southeastern “peers”. I don’t know how many B1G teams have an institutional desire for nationally competitive football (Michigan, tOSU, PSU, USC, Washington, Oregon, NU…Illinois? UCLA? Iowa?), but they have a lot of potential to make noise, right? And aren’t we learning, with NIL that geography matters less to portal transfer than HS recruits?

His upward trajectory seems to be of note.

Savea is a fine replacement for Trill Carter. I’d gladly take him. 
 

There is no DT currently available that can come even close to replacing Murphy or Sweat. Maybe something happens in the Spring window, but that caliber of player at that position doesn’t come around very often in the portal.

DL is the most scarce position in the portal. This guy was productive at AZ and will be a valuable addition.

Only if Johnny Nansen stays.

You can't lose a game in which the opponent never stops you from scoring TDs.

A couple of them would be nice, but probably a pipe dream. Here's to hoping Aaron Bryant and Sydir Mitchell take big steps forward.

Theoretically you could, assuming the opposing team also scored a TD every time and had one more possession.

Seems like a lot of players love Nansen. Apparently, most of the Arizona team was pushing for Nansen to be hired.

Would be great to find out if Texas/blOU will be eligible to accept any SEC transfers during the 2024 Spring window???    @BobbyB

The SEC currently has a conference rule that does not allow SEC teams to accept transfers from another SEC school during the spring transfer portal window. 

Texas officially joins the SEC July 1st, 2024.

Sounds like a real Nansen boy.

I've thought about that too.  It's another reason I'm not happy to be joining this hayseed league.

Wasn’t he committed to them for a long time before flipping on signing day?

Or if you had (future NFL kicker) Nick Rose kicking PATs.

Saying you’ll get through this is not tampering. You build relationships with these athletes and just calling them up and wishing them luck is not a violation

So you're saying there are no DTs in the portal that are projected top 15 NFL Draft picks or Outland Trophy winners?

Well, it doesn't hurt to ask.

There is a difference in saying there are no 1:1 replacements for Sweat or Murphy and saying we shouldn’t just take a guy because we need depth. I’d rather throw a talented freshman to the fire before doing that. What is the general view of the Arizona guy?

Good chance he’ll start for us (unless we add another guy later). At the very least, he’ll be one of the main guys in our DT rotation. It’s a good add, and he definitely upgrades the roster. 

And we can probably get him for a sack of coconuts and some sea shells.
