    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.

He is an athletic, running quarterback.   Who athletically runs into the arms of the nearest defender.  Also, he can't throw.

Gerry made a good point yesterday  regarding DT. We are only playing 4 this year (Collins, Broughton, Lole, Norton). If we get the right 3 guys in the portal we will probably be deeper at DT next year because Sharma/Charles/Terry will be more ready to be in the rotation as freshmen than January or Hills this year.

I think find 3 ready to play guys and get 1 guy who is young you think you can develop to try and backfill for the future.

Our 4 man rotation this year is two homegrown difference makers who will be NFL draft picks, and two steady but unremarkable portal bodies. It’s very doable for us to land 3-4 of the latter types again this year, but it’s far from given that Alfred Collins-level players will even be in the portal, much less that we’ll be the high bidder.

So we could be deeper I guess, but highly unlikely that we’ll be better. The 2025 recruits will need more time to get to that level. 

Oregon landed Harmon and Caldwell in the portal this season. That'd be nice

I would consider the UCF kid a "difference maker."

Finkley is a strong kid, reportedly brilliant and a hard worker, just not blessed with much natural explosion, flexibility, quickness, bend, etc., that help players in that role succeed at the highest levels (in. which we participate). Others have passed him on the depth chart.

What he represented at the time of his recruitment was a beacon call to the powers that be in the southeast that Texas would recruit top players in that area and could win them. His family is top notch, and our message of future success and a strong positive culture resonated with them, and we won his recruitment.  Smart people saw our promise.

I’m quite gruntled Dr. Finkley is still saying good things about us, as it confirms they aligned with the right people: it just didn’t work out optimally, and it’s best for Justice to give it a shot elsewhere. I suspect we’ll all be rooting for him. 

I liked Justice, i think he just didnt have anywhere else for his body to go. He came in as a freshman with so much muscle already on his frame. He was a good player, there just was not a path to the field once he got passed.

Quotes from Bouwmeester on picking Texas via 247. Mentioned working with Kern and helping develop him.

Spoiler

"I picked Texas because I like how Coach (Jeff) Banks runs his punt," Bouwmeester told Horns247. "It's pro-style, being able to spiral more, and just trying to put myself in a better situation to go to the next level. Also in my grad year I wanted to get a master's degree and Texas is obviously a very good academic program as well. Academics played a big part as well."

Bouwmeester studied strategic communication at Utah. He's eyeing something likely in business on the Forty Acres.

LSU, Missouri, and Illinois were speaking with Bouwmeester once he was in the portal.

"I was talking to other schools but I kind of visited Texas thinking that a visit was going to solidify things," he said. "I wanted to go down and meet everyone and tick all the boxes.

"I knew that I wanted to go to the SEC. As soon as I started talking with Texas I knew that was definitely going to be the right fit for me schematically and academically. It was just about dotting the i's and crossing the t's."

The Longhorns' head coach sold him on the program, too.

"Coach Sark's awesome," Bouwmeester said. "He's got a passion for special teams. I had dinner with the specialists. They just said how good of dude he is. Just lets you kind of do your own thing, but he loves you as well. He said how much he loves specialists and how big of an impact you can have on a game."

Speaking of dinner with the specialists, Bouwmeester got a taste of Austin on the visit. He says they ate at BOA Steakhouse, Terry Black's, and Bird Bird.

Bouwmeester's had a lengthy road to get to where he is. It started in East Lansing after taking one year off out of high school, before a break back home in Australia, then Salt Lake City.

"I think when I started at Michigan State I was still young at 19," he said. "I guess it's a different dynamic for Australians. I think being a little bit older helps us out a little bit. You're just a bit more mature and able to make better decisions being that far away from home. When I started at Michigan State to now there's a definitely a lot of difference. I went home from Michigan State during Covid. Coming back to Utah I think that just helped me maturity-wise. I'm a bit older now but it's helped me as well in the locker room dynamic, being more of a leader. Coming in being able to work with (Michael) Kern and help him out. Obviously he's still a freshman. Being able to help him and make things seamless for him in his second season. It's a tough position and it does take time. Making the room better as a whole is probably my main goal."

Bouwmeester will arrive in Austin next month to go through spring practices with the team.

 

Jackson Arnold to Auburn

Interesting that they have Walker White on campus and another high profile recruit in this class. Risking those guys for a bust like Arnold is some kind of strategy.

Bawaahahaha.  52-80 tried to argue incessantly that the Texas communications program was irrelevant for football players making decisions on schools, and the very FIRST portal transfer called out the communications dept as a significant reason for committing to Texas.

You’re right. Two separate things can’t have the same name in this world. For example it’s not possible for you to be stupid and a cunt at the same time. Never mind it’s not only possible but true, on both counts. 

So was Maalik Murphy’s Auburn visit just a leverage play in their attempt to get Arnold? He visited before Arnold did.

I know it’s been talked about before but I’m beginning to think that guy isn’t getting very good advice. Duke immediately upgraded after he left and now he is stuck in this game of QB musical chairs that seems like it could easily end with him quarterbacking a G5 team next year.

I’m pretty sure that object banks is holding is a trophy that is given when you win the Lombardi Award. No matter how hard you try, I don’t think a recognition will support a chunk of granite.

Whatever you want to call it it is still the Trophy of the Lombardi Award (which is awesome), because the Lombardi Trophy is different and far far more recognizable.

Yall gonna drive daddy to drink. And there ain't no good football on, dammit.

I don't get why you try so hard to call posts out.

And I certainly don't get why it's so important to you.

With that said, thank you for clarifying what you actually meant to convey.

Yes the Lombardi trophy and the Lombardi Award Trophy are in fact two different objects.

But your initial declaration stated Kelvin Banks, Jr. was holding an award and that that was different than a trophy.

And from this point on I move on.

Enjoy the attention you generate.

So does this mean a publicized name in the portal but they don’t want to say they are visiting? Or yet to be publicized new name in the portal?
