April 1Apr 1 Bobby One might wonder why the Longhorns are recruiting Stanford edge David Bailey from the transfer portal given edge is a position of strength for the Horns. Well, the answer isn’t that complicated. Texas clearly sees Bailey as an immediate player for this team. Bailey had seven sacks a year ago for the Cardinal and is thought to have high-end NFL upside. As a high school senior at Mater Dei in California, Bailey was the no. 34 overall ranked player in the country and is considered the best overall pro prospect on the Stanford squad. Getting after the quarterback will always carry a premium value. You can never have enough. So the Horns are looking to make a position that is considered a team strength even stronger.

April 1Apr 1 Has Simmons been sidelined in early spring? Vasek is always injured. 1 injury or two and the depth starts to look thin. Go get him!

Have a friend in their AD so have some additional info amidst the current dumpster fire. Excellent kid and would be a culture fit here, similar impact to Trey Moore with better NFL measurables. High value on academics, but we all know how that goes when NIL gets big enough. UCLA is the favorite unless Texas blows them away or someone comes in with a godfather offer.

April 1Apr 1 I'll be shocked if we're willing to pay what it will take to get him. I don't know how much we have tied up in DE, but all it takes is a TTU or similar to just blow their wad on a single dude they get hard for. Edited April 1Apr 1 by Hermanator

Texas Tech softball is at least ranked in the top 25.

As potentially the top softball player in the country, you're going to make more money in college than in the pros. Not surprised she took the biggest offer on the table to maximize income while in college, since professional income is likely to be limited. As a NFL-hopeful football player, your highest levels of income depend on you making it to the NFL. It would be prudent to balance current college income with the ability to prepare for the NFL. Not sure off the top of my head what the developmental track record is for Texas Tech's current coaching staff, but I imagine it's, well, not great Bob. Edited April 4Apr 4 by TheBryMan81
April 2Apr 2 Bobby Burton Stanford edge prospect David Bailey began his visit to Texas yesterday. That visit concludes later today. Bailey already visited Texas Tech earlier this week. Among a host of other suitors, UCLA may also get an official visit. As we’ve mentioned previously, Texas views Bailey as an elite player. After all, he was the best player on the Stanford team in 2024. He recorded seven sacks even though opposing teams knew he was really the Cardinal’s only defensive threat much of the season. Tech has been aggressive this cycle when it comes to NIL, so the Red Raiders are seen as a true threat. But the hope is that the higher profile and long-term success of Texas, along with competitive NIL, could be a difference maker for the Horns. Sark and GM Brandon Harris are showing they will continue to look for any way to improve the team, even when a position appears as loaded as Texas is at edge. I’ve been told more than once this off-season that Sark views every year as an opportunity to win a championship. Pushing the chips to the middle and going after Bailey is an example of just that IMO.

Texas Tech offers him 500k more a year but he turns them down because “Eww Texas Tech I am a Stanford man!” ? He got into Stanford because he isn’t an idiot and part of not being an idiot is taking large sums of money when offered to you.
