December 2, 20241 yr It's been trending in that direction all season, he's overrated. Probably going to SMU or something.
December 2, 20241 yr 8 receptions for Hudson in his freshman season. By god, that’s Johntay Cook’s music!
December 2, 20241 yr It was so obvious Hudson was making a mistake when he first went there, but some people have to learn the hard way.

December 2, 20241 yr  From Jordan Scruggs (Horns 247), on Jordan Hudson. (This guy may be wrong, but he doesn't make stuff up ... )    What you need to know about Micah Hudson now that he's announced his intentions to enter the Transfer Portal Jordan Scruggs (Horns 247)  Spoiler  What you need to know about Micah Hudson now that he's announced his intentions to enter the Transfer Portal Jordan Scruggs (Horns 247)  Texas Tech freshman wide receiver Micah Hudson has announced he intends to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal upon the window opening on Dec. 9. Hudson will have three seasons of eligibility remaining. In Hudson's lone season in Lubbock, the former five-star appeared in eight games, catching passes in five of them and finishing the year with eight receptions for 123 yards on an average of 15.4 yards per catch. Part of the 2024 recruiting cycle, Hudson was ranked as the No. 16 overall prospect in the nation, the No. 4 wide receiver in the nation, and the No. 4 overall prospect in the state of Texas according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Although he will no longer be wearing a red and black uniform, Hudson is still the highest ranked high school prospect to ever commit to and/or sign with the Red Raiders in Texas Tech program history. The Red Raiders won out over Texas, Texas A&M, Alabama, and Ohio State when Hudson publicly announced his Texas Tech commitment on Sept. 11, 2023 after silently pledging to the Tech coaching staff earlier in the summer. In speaking with the Temple, Texas native, I'm told the most important factor for Hudson when it comes to choosing his next destination will be development. The former five-star is looking for a place that'll best prepare him for the NFL while also playing for a program that's competing for national championships year in and year out. Just like how his high school recruitment was, location and proximity to home will not serve much, if any factor. Expect Hudson to be patient with his transfer portal recruitment as he plans on taking his time and seeing several college campuses on visits before coming to a decision on his next destination.   Â

December 2, 20241 yr I have no clue if we actually recruit Hudson but if we do our selling card should be "great decision dumbass. You get what you deserve. Now come play for a real team."Â

Not like he would have seen the field here this year. He also could be just fishing for another bag from Tech.The Personally, I hope we stick to portal WRs who have already produced on the field.

December 2, 20241 yr He is a ridiculously talented player that lied to the staff. I wonder if Sark would ever get over that? Unless he is a full on head case he’s going somewhere and going to do well likely.Â

December 2, 20241 yr It's probably more wishful thinking on Hudson's part that Texas will be interested. Sark has been more inclined to take WRs from the portal that have produced and are culture fits.
December 2, 20241 yr I live in Lubbock and the amount of hot air coming from here when Micah committed was crazy. They had radio bites being played over and over again about how the Hudson commitment totally changed the perception of the program overnight and that this was a sign that Tech was on the cusp of greatness because they finally signed their very first 5 star recruit in school history. But they all collectively ignored the fact that the only reason Tech was ever in the race to begin with was because his dad played for them. That was it. And surprise surprise, he didn’t see any playing time and watched as freshman receivers at better programs started being contributors early on and decided to go elsewhere. Â

December 2, 20241 yr Unless something changed I think the book is closed on that prick. Â Unless @closetojumping has an update to the situation.

December 2, 20241 yr The best part of the season ain't going 11-1 and a shot at the CCG, it's that we beat aggy, Arky, and ou at their site (ou was free hormw team this year. I don't think that's been done since 1984. Fucking A.Â

December 2, 20241 yr We may have a more difficult time with WR in the portal this year if they just look at what Quinn's limitations did to Bond and Bolden's low production numbers and not focus on Arch being much better with the deep ball. Hopefully not and they're smart enough to see the difference. Also, hope Golden decides to go one more year to raise his draft stock.Â
December 2, 20241 yr I feel confident that Sark can pick and choose whomever he wants out of the portal at WR. Manning at QB. Two years of productive portal results at WR with Bond, Golden, and Mitchell. Throw in Sark's prior results at WR, our offense, UT's NIL commitment, and the results this year. Sark will take whomever he wants at WR in the portal IMHO.  The only downside that we might have is that Moore and WIngo are a pretty solid 1-2 punch and if Golden opts to stay than the starting lineup may be considered harder to crack here than other schools which may be much more empty. Who knows whether Moore or Wingo will try to play the NIL game that Worthy tried to play. I doubt they have enough leverage like Worthy did, but it's WR so anything is possible. So I can't see Sark being very interested in Hudson as at WR there usually are bigger fish in the sea.   Â

December 2, 20241 yr Author Popular Post Portal work this cycle will be less about failing prima donnas who act like shitheels while having proven nothing at the P4 level. A big part of the focus will be on retaining the roster. Part of the crazy money stuff coming from desperate schools is to make insane offers to established players playing for playoff teams. Another big part of the focus is going to be on landing 3~4 DTs including at least one difference maker. Attrition there plus damage/ineptitude in the 2025 recruiting cycle is about to blow a gaping hole in that spot on the roster. Everything else is secondary, tertiary, etc.Â
December 2, 20241 yr Arizona was shit this year, and I have no idea if they had any decent underclassmen DTs (see comment about being shit) but perhaps Nansen could pull one of his former recruits from that wreckage if he thinks they can play. Regarding 2024 AZ portals, Norton was a solid plug in for us, don’t recall seeing much of Savea ( that’s why you take a few). But I suspect big Polynesian guys from out west will be evaluated/courted.Â

But I suspect big Polynesian guys from out west will be evaluated/courted. Savea was a bust. Nonentity who won’t be back. Norton was a solid double. I would expect the Big 12 to be used as a farm system for Texas in this cycle. At DT, for 2025 season in terms of rock solid roster spots for Texas - January, Hills, Bryant, Charles. If they keep Mitchell, great. Dicey. Sharma has been offered something stupid by Lincoln Riley’s dumpster fire. Maybe something fabulous happens around signing day and they hang on to Sharma. I’m from Missouri on both things. They need proven ballers from the portal. I think they’ll get a few and it’s going to be expensive, but so be it.Â
December 2, 20241 yr Micah Hudson couldn't even get snaps on a weak Tech squad. Pass Bledsoe not in the plans at DT is disappointing.Â
December 2, 20241 yr Miller Moss in the portal. An A&M friend told me the Aggies are "looking at him." Â Â Â
December 2, 20241 yr He’s gonna end up at Michigan if the plan isn’t to start the freshman day 1 Or Ole Miss - another Trojan to Rebel QB moveÂ

Made me wonder if he’s still in the plans for next year, the opportunity is there for him. At the least he must not have completely checked out and become a problem, Cook style.Â

I also haven't heard if he'll be back or not. They never got to a spot where they trusted him to handle the playcalling, allegedly. Maybe him getting more snaps this past weekend is promising.
December 2, 20241 yr He had a drop on a crossing route midway through the game that would have gone for a solid gain. I like his potential in the offense if he can become a serviceable blocker.Â

If what @closetojumping and others have speculated regarding Harris is accurate, that’s a title in name only and Sark is the real GM.  My point is that’s not a model that tends to work outside of a hall of fame type career, and even then it’s questionable.
