This doesn't make sense.

Every time a player enters the portal it opens up a roster spot...

presumably most every player that enters the portal would also free up a scholarship as well.

That 6.5K still in the portal, if accurate, aren't all (or even mostly?) guys who are from D1 programs. D2, D3, NAIA, JUCO, etc...

Can Raiola still transfer? Oregon if I remember correctly is on quarters and has not started class yet… but Oregon is going to kill him on $$

If his agent is any good, he has an out if Moore returned.

Wouldn't you think Oregon doesn't want to pay them both?

I don't know why phrased it like that: Isn't it possible that this is a surprise to Oregon and now they don't want to pay Raiola as well?

Agree. Raiola probably wants to start somewhere and bolt to the NFL, and Oregon doesn't want to commit starting QB money to two players. Seems another transfer would be mutual.

Should Texas sign players that Texas tampered with to get into the portal in the first place? Once a cheater, always a cheater?

Gonna need some cheaters for our trick plays against OU.

Three of us posted the announcement that is how insane/pathetic we as fans are waiting for offensive linemen.

Visiting Texas in the near future, per Nakos

My guess is this guy could be an ideal Nick Brooks replacement at a cheaper cost and with more experience playing in college football games.

My experience tracks with this. And I liked HPSlugga and rpongett, but how could you leave out horndfl? He was one of my favorite posters there, and here (under a different name, of course).

And horndfl said ... Nothing, you idiots. horndfl's dead, he's locked in my basement.

There are rumors on the eBays about a Guard from Maryland.

NIL is moving to EBay? Actually makes tons of sense. Just auction off the players, school collectives bid and go from there. Everyone gets to watch, shill bids allowed, bidding from 7 different accounts, wait..this is basically what is happening now. Mindblown.gif

I'm glad you're proud of yourself. But, of course, that was literally in no way whatsoever the point of my post. And more importantly, who that post was directed at...
I'm accusing a poster of eating paint chips and you're walking into the middle of the exchange going "I've eaten paint chips, and let me tell you, they are in fact toxic"
We know what's happening and why, bud. The point is the shrieking harpie with a neck-beard who won't shut the fuck up.

I’m aware of why you posted what you did and your agenda. Sometimes, on a message board, people quote a post that’s sort of germane to a point they are interested in making or discussing in a larger context which was literally what I did there. Different strokes for different folks!

The point is this (and I quoted your post because it agrees with my analysis from ya ing gone through this thought exercise for months and then watching it play out in real time… Sark and the GM or whoever is helping him is more or less getting it right. Is it perfectly optimized? I don’t know. I’d guess with enough time and quants working on it that you could get it there and I’d guess we haven’t gone that far (yet?), but directionally we are doing a really good job in the AD of doing it right.

NYT says he got offered 6.5 million fucking dollars to transfer.

Impressive that Bama found that much money to pay him to leave, considering how poor they are.

About Aliou Bah, the Maryland OL. From Terps 247.

So, do we spend the money and get Bah? Or ... will it be Bah! Humbug!???

Raiola looked like shit at Nebraska his people might be smart enough to know the best thing for him would be to sit for a year, learn the Oregon offense while collecting paychecks, then start in ‘27.

So Mason Babka and Terence Ciabatta visiting should really put this board at ease, then. These guys would be fucking saviors for our OL worries.

This guy is good. Texas was after him during his recruitment, but I don't recall whether or not he visited, unofficially or officially.

I do this, also. When there's multiple conversations going on, it's useful just to quote the last post even if you aren't directly responding. I'm not always trying to disagree with y'all.

That's a possibility, but he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that you can mix his name and smart enough in the same sentence very often.

I was introduced to hornfans by a coworker in January ‘99, giving me the opportunity to be around for the Simms announcement crashing the site.

If I recall, that was also the last time Texas had “quality depth” on the OL. So I choose not to worry now. The o-line has been interesting from Nunez’s Dancing Bears all the way up to Flood’s Bumbling Giants.

Antwan Kirk-Hughes was #1 on the centex 55!!!! Huge get.

The college football transition to the internet age was awesome. There was a recruit whose bio in the annual Athlon season preview magazine mentioned that he was in the Huckleberry Top 75 which was just a terribly formatted page I had on Hornfans that was a weighted composite of top Texas recruit lists.

Right now there are X total roster spots available in division one football. If an additional player enters the portal, the total number of available roster spots = X+1

high school kids have nothing to do with the way the original post makes no sense.

This years QB class is pretty bad. I don’t think Mendoza will wind up being an amazing pro. I know he’s been doubted since the bowl but surprised about Moore. There’s enough teams that need a QB that someone would have taken him too high. I love that he really messed up raiolas plan. That’s the extra cherry.

let’s gets one of these o lineman and I’ll be happy. Couple more total(o and d) and call it a portal
