December 6, 20241 yr Popular Post Charlie Williams: Scouting report on Five-Star Plus+ Justus Terry Quote Texas has landed a game-changing commitment from Justus Terry, one of the top defensive linemen in the nation out of Manchester, Ga. Ranked as the No. 2 defensive lineman and No. 24 overall prospect in the 2025 class by On3, Terry brings an elite blend of size, speed, and athleticism to the Longhorns’ defensive front. Scouting Report Terry is a phenomenal athlete for his size, standing 6-foot-5 and 275 pounds. On film, he consistently dominates his competition with his overpowering strength and advanced technique. His quick first step allows him to penetrate the backfield with ease, and he uses his hands exceptionally well to shed blockers, even against double teams. Terry’s athleticism is so impressive that he can line up on the edge, where his speed and agility allow him to chase down ball carriers from the backside. What sets him apart is his ability to stop and change direction on a dime, a rare trait for someone of his stature. His pursuit to the perimeter is outstanding, as he routinely tracks down screen passes and disrupts plays in space. While it’s too early to call him a generational talent, he’s certainly close, with a skill set that makes him one of the most versatile and disruptive defensive linemen in recent memory. How He Fits at Texas Terry’s versatility makes him a perfect fit for the Longhorns’ defensive scheme. He’s a big, vertical defensive lineman who can line up at multiple positions, including the 7-, 5-, 3-, and 1-techniques. This allows him to impact the game in several ways: stopping the run, rushing the passer, and even believably dropping into coverage on zone blitzes. His athleticism and physicality give Texas a unique weapon to deploy on the defensive line, capable of creating mismatches against any offense. Terry’s commitment is a massive win for Texas, solidifying their defensive class with a player who has the potential to be a game-wrecker at the college level. If his development continues on its current trajectory, Terry could become a cornerstone for the Longhorns’ defense for years to come.

December 6, 20241 yr He dominates in his film highlights, but you can see he still has loads of upside to improve on. Gotta love he recognizes this and was drawn to Kenny Baker's message of improvement. A&M wouldn't know what to fucking do with a guy like that

December 6, 20241 yr Popular Post I'm not a big fan of NIL. It changes the nature of college sports in irreversible ways. But in the last twenty years I've been screaming for kids to get off my lawn on the subject, I've always stated declaratively no program in the country will benefit from opening that pandora's box the way Texas will. And that was before 20 more years of Austin growth and still no professional sports team in any of the 3 major sports on the horizon. It didn't happen by accident, but I'm very appreciative of the Longhorn alums who got off their ass and actually did something to move NIL forward rather than being a keyboard warrior like me. Watching programs like Alabama, OU, Georgia, Clemson, LSU (I guess A&M? they never did anything with it, though) et al have their advantage in their willingness to provide under the table inducements to players and their families, oftentimes at unprecedented game changing levels historically, be completely annihilated through the Supreme Court eviscerating the NCAA's ability to enforce...well...just about anything, has led to a golden era in UT sports. Add in we're not going out of our way from an administrative level to put competitive obstacles in our path - or at least not as much as we used to - and it just feels like we're in the midst of seeing something really special. It can still all be screwed up with the wrong coach, but thankfully that doesn't appear to be our issue. For me this feels like a big fuck you to all the paying of players and their handlers to grab instate talent that otherwise would have naturally signed with Texas that happened over the past 70 years. It's an even playing field in that regard now, but like the pigs say at the end of Animal Farm, "We're all equal here. We're just a little equaler."

But the money was always there for the kids and Texas *trying* to play honestly was just hamstringing us. The Aggies ‘22 class probably pissed off a lot of folks and I’m also grateful for the dudes on here who got the whole Texas NIL machine up and flattening the competition. My joy about being in the CFP two years in a row, winning the B12 championship and playing for the SEC championship are is not dampened by the realization that the players are “in it for the money.” At some point when coaches are making 8-figure salaries and 100s of millions are being spent on facilities and being earned in merchandising, it’s only fair that the players who give the brand its value are able to benefit from it.

There's a cognitive dissonance I willingly create with college sports. I personally do not believe a multibillion dollar entertainment enterprise should be housed within the confines of academic institutions. In my ideal world the NCAA or a similar institution would have overly repressive powers. They would negotiate a single television contract and then evenly spread out the proceeds, the way they did prior to the 1984 Supreme Court case. There would be no NIL allowed for athletes, simply because it's impossible to truly determine legitimate NILs from pay for plays. It's not a legitimate argument that can be applied across all cases "well, I'll know it when I see it." But that's not the world we live in, and it's not ever going to be. In this world college sports is a multibillion dollar enterprise, and it's built in large part on the shared identification we have with our favorite schools. People talk about how the players deserve the money because they're the ones doing the work, and that's certainly true to a degree. But we've seen how college sports can attract an audience in the way professional minor leagues can't. On some level it's not the athletes, as much as we love (or hate, lol) to follow them. It really is the brand. And there's a symbiotic relationship. College sports builds an identity with a school long after departing the campus in a way no other vehicle provides with the same effectiveness. It brings many alumni back on a regular basis. It builds a mutual tie and brand loyalty that goes beyond just getting an education there. In any case, in this world if we're going to compete in a sport. I'd like for us to win. And that's exactly what we're doing. We're no longer an administration who wants to see the football team succeed so the athletic department can make more money. We truly see it as we want to make more money so we can win more games. That's an important distinction and I'm glad it finally exists.

But i was identifying coaches who appear to be able to screw up the "golden era" of an NIL-backed Texas. Anyway, I was being intentionally unhelpful and antagonistic.
