    Moore’s camp has told Bobby Burton that Trey Moore is returning to Texas. Nothing set in stone, but that would be a big deal, IMO.

They have a serious problem unless they spend huge money and bring in 8-10 quality starters via the portal. 

The guys on TexAgs are urging the coaching staff to hit the portal hard in this new era of NIL. I expect great results if Elko listens to their collective genius.

When he looks back on his life I am sure he’ll always remember that year he had in Norman.

Someone up thread said there's smoke SMU's kicker is heading to Austin after they wrap up their season (hopefully before we do)

Can we get Clemson's kicker instead after we beat them?

Is Texas going to pursue this one? Or does Sark have specific players lined up already?

He has problems and he quit on the team in the middle of the year. 

I’m probably reading too much into the reporting, or lack thereof, so far, but given that we haven’t seen much smoke related to any of the portal entries so far, I’m hoping that the guys we’ve tampered with haven’t officially entered the portal yet.

But I don’t know shit about fuck.

few of us do.

OU has 12 guys in the portal so far. That includes a starting CB, their leading receiver in Sharp, Nick Anderson, their 5 star starting QB, and two OLs who started this season. That’s not nothing. 

As we know, takes a long time to dig yourself out of the whole a shit hire leaves you in.

Add in a poor QB situation, a poor offense, a defensive minded HC who has never been a HC before, their un natural hiring of as many dudes with ties to OU as possible, their hiring of shitty coaches even when they had a huge check book and their overall program talent level vs others in the SEC and I'm kind of shocked Joe C hasn't sent Venables packing yet.

This isn't a one year turnaround, even if they somehow had with 40m to change coaches and another 10m for NIL.

It's going to be a tough few years in Norman.

He’s Australian too. I know there are some dudes around here that’ll blow their loads over that.

Didn't see that coming. Someone recruited him into the portal I guess?

He was pretty meh this year despite Duke having a cake schedule. Still very inaccurate.

But I guess some of these teams are desperate for QB’s.

He's not an NFL QB you'd think he'd want the degree.

He’s gotta be going to a major program. Maybe a little closer to home for him.

He can be a career college QB.

Doesn't sound like it but like last year with guys like Bond and Mukuba I think it'll be obvious when they enter the portal between the connections and people here in the know

I know he didn't play amazingly but just because of his tools he's gonna go to a higher profile spot off the fact that so many good teams are desperate to hit a home run that they'll talk themselves into him

If Will Howard and DJU can command heavy paydays, MM can do the same.

I initially missed the context here and thought you were talking about A&M.

Bryce Anderson went portal right? He would be a good addition assuming we lose Makuba and taafe this year. Tried to look up thread but never saw any discussion of him.

For the first time in his career, he's not even rumored to be in it.

Plus you figure his current head coach will give Texas the straight info on him.

Is our relationship with Major good? Feel like I remember it being frigid off of how it ended. In any case Fluff is going somewhere to be RB #1, he's an absolute dude. He's not taking change of pace role here

"Fluff is an absolute dude," is not something you hear everyday.

Hope the SMU kicker rumors are true.

 

 Too bad Arizona, Louisiana kicker has no eligibility. 

It does appear the Pitt and Mich St guys has a Covid year.


NMSU kicker is a junior

I think I’ve mentioned it before but how we handle the RB room is going to be fascinating. If Blue comes back, you are going to have him, Wisner and Gibson all expecting to touch the ball fairly regularly in 2025 + Baxter coming off injury. Clark probably factors into the conversation more in 2026. Returning from an Achilles at that position feels like a long road. Then you have the 2 freshman who I would assume are headed for redshirts. 
7 scholarship RB’s feels like a lot. You almost certainly are losing someone if you bring in a portal guy.
I think Choice can always point to this season (or depth in pretty much any teams RB room by this point) as reasons why touches will be available to any back that can hit the right holes and hang on to the ball.

Johntay Cook Instagrammed and posted for 33 hours straight a couple of days ago. I’m really curious to see where he ends up. 

Never mind. CTJ beat me to it several pages ago.

Oklahoma might take a long ass time to ever dig out- if they are ever able to scrape together money to win in the nil world. They could be wrecked with this and SEC added competition. Hate to see it. 

I hope it takes them as least as long as it took us. It seems like a great time for all the Sooners who’ve forgotten the post-Switzer era (which is most of them) to have a sequel to that little period in the wilderness.

UTAH?

Maalik is going to get paid somewhere.  His numbers were good enough to warrant what, mid 6 six figures into the 7 figures?  He is a QB after all.

A good addition based on on what? Him sucking out loud and not even being draftable at this point? Like bear Alexander, he’s gotten worse every year except safety isn’t DT.
