Ohio St is having as much fun as we are. I don't know how you maintain depth the way things stand right now.

The only mistake the staff made with Jamie ffffffrench was not recruiting Andrew Marsh or Tanook Hines over him last year

Hopefully next year the staff wont sign guys just because they're highly rated and from Florida

LSU writing checks to Lane for each Ole Miss win and now sending buyout money to Washington to break Williams contract may be the funniest part of this madness.

Are there enough children's hospitals to cover the cost of all this?

He was being paid a ton to ride the bench and we are actively recruiting over him. If this is shocking to you I don't know what to tell you.

Tell me how Ffrench and Lockett are doing and I could agree. It's an easier position to play young, so they should be more ready than Brooks is.

Ffrench is in the portal

For what it's worth, the staff had already labeled Ffrench as an evaluation bust, and a bad investment. This is likely them happily cutting bait. No one should cry over this one.

Other than maybe the 35 corridor, it's virtually impossible to drive 60 miles in any direction of Austin and not pass a ranch.

you can fish a hundred spots within 2 hours of austin. llano, colorado, guad rivers are all EXCELLENT fisheries. not to mention several lakes. hell we even have a cold water trout fishery - most southern in the US - in the guad just below Canyon Lake damn. if there's one thing cen tex has it's fishing.

Honestly, fuck college football.

Time to tune out from end of season (whether bowl or playoffs) and tune back in at the end of August

Because this is dumb.

I’m not sure what all the additional drama is about. Are yall mad that a HS we recruit that we paid a lot for and saw no action and was actively recruited over is leaving? This is a non issue as are most of the transfers so far.

Don’t love Barnes and Zina leaving if they do but that’s about it. We obviously now need more on the OL but not worried about what is heading out.

Thank you Brandon Harris!!!

Juluke is to thank on that one, Harris simply did what he was told. He is too busy fucking up player retention to actually do anything productive to help the team acquire new talent.

Which one? We are recruiting over ALL of them?

Ohio St is having just as much run as we are. Depth is a thing of the past it appears.

The musical chairs will end at some point. Half of D1 football players are in the portal. They're not all going to find raises.

fucking crazy man. laugh, cry, throw shit, it's like driving up on a car wreck scene with multiple first responders, you don't want to but you can't help but slow down and look.

Needs to be a rule that unless there’s a coaching change, true freshman are not eligible to transfer without sitting a year.

#8433

Agree that big donors have to be furious re: both the horrible evals and retention strategy. These guys who Texas absolutely had to have a year ago just walking way with lots of cash and no production.

This. I told a buddy the other day that there is no reason to pay any attention to your roster until the two deep is released before the first game. Also, you need to be ready to learn who three quarters of the team is each year.

Does this end up like NFL free agency where the smart GMs wait out the first wave and find bargains in what is left over? But the NFL only has 32 teams and has a salary cap - how does that work with 136 teams?

#8437

can you imagine the chaos of one week left and thousands still looking for a place to land and major programs still needing to fill holes while new holes are being created in real time with even less days to go. unreal.

So you think there should be a rule that would directly impact a player’s ability to maximize their earning potential? Have you been paying attention to this sport even a little bit?

Players aren't required to find a new school by the portal deadline. That's just the deadline for submitting your name to be entered.

#8446

They can't wait much longer because of missing too many classes though. At least I think that will make it end.

You think we are worse off than we were before the portal and NIL? Ok.

Did I say that, Sydney?

However, right now, it’s not looking too kind to the blue bloods who have spent a ton of money on roster accumulation, just to see a material amount of that depth split without any real ROI.

I’m also really appears like our staff has no fucking clue how to maximize Texas’ competitive advantages, because spending more money than others, but losing those players on which the money was spent prior to obtaining a real ROI, doesn’t tend to lead to a true competitive advantage - especially when you’re not upgrading 1:1 in the portal.
