April 16, 20241 yr Popular Post It’s true, Laramie will not be on scholarship next year. We just closed on a huge NIL deal with Pantene that will make Laramie the highest paid shampoo influencer in Travis County. We didn’t want to give up the scholarship at first but it’s going to be given to a player who will be transferring in. I can’t say who but let’s just say that it will be going to a wonderful young man who has been in the transfer portal a few times but is an amazing teammate and even better friend, just ask Harvdog.

I obviously don't know all of the specifics or what he is being compensated via NIL, but scholarship athletes get different benefits than non-scholarship athletes. On the surface, based on his production, he deserves to be on scholarship and benefit from NIL. Scholarship players get more conditioner?

The 2009 team did more but lost a number of key players from 2008 on both sides of the ball. However, this year's secondary may make up for losing the DTs and we are able to use the portal to bandaid losing guys. Still, it seems like last year's team felt more complete earlier at every position (aside from safety). This probably also has something to do with my personal beliefs that WR, OL, and DL are - if not the - some of the most important positions in CFB. I'm thinking Gbenda and Hill can step into Ford's spot, but you never know what you have until it is gone. Edited April 17, 20241 yr by OnAComputer

I'm thinking Gbenda and Hill can step into Ford's spot, but you never know what you have until it is gone. I’m not sure what you’re talking about really. No way Safety is the only spot. DE is way more complete with Trey Moore in the fold. He’s a big upgrade over what we had last year, plus we return Burke and Sorrell and have Simmons ready to play a specialty role. This team is also more complete at OL this year. Yes, we have to replace Jones, but Hayden fucking Conner started all last year. Improving at RG and returning 3 starters with more depth is much more complete. Same for CB. We have to replace Watts, but Watts was a very limited CB. Muhammad will be much improved and ready to break out this year with Brooks another year older on the other side and Holmes as a quality backup for both spots. We also have Guilbeau behind Barron and elite freshmen like Mack and Black. I’d also say we’re better at QB. Quinn will be in Year 3 of the system, which makes a big difference, and I’d take 2nd year Arch over 2nd year Murphy at backup. Edited April 17, 20241 yr by Burt Macklin
April 17, 20241 yr i'd say its more like this year's team is 2008 and last year was 2009. this team should be more talented at every position group other than DT.

There won't be a Worthy or Mitchell level man beater this year. What there will hopefully be is a 3rd, 4th, and even 5th guy who can produce. Last year the 3rd receiver was a quality possession guy and when they needed a 4th to produce it wasn't there.

April 18, 20241 yr Re Bert - Wasn't there some rule that if a walkon gets a certain number of snaps he counts against the 85? Or maybe I'm getting it confused with a rule that if a 2 sport athlete plays he counts against the higher revenue sport's allocation. Seems like this is a loophole you could drive a truck through for skirting the 85 man limit.

Dual sport athletes count against the football scholarship, other than that walk-on's aren't limited in any way, but dress and travel limits are still enforced.

April 18, 20241 yr It's also likely Texas won't end up at a perfect 85 scholarships, so maybe Bert is a recipient at that point over another walk-on player. Either way, I'm sure he is being taken care of if he is happy with the arrangement.
April 18, 20241 yr Supposedly several more transfers coming after the spring game so Bert likely gets that open scholarship.
