Quality backups and depth matter. We will be operating on razor thin margins.

I think the thread is super interested in a thought exercise on exactly how, soup to nuts from ground up, BurntOrange&White, aka Blumpkinator Dong, would build his college football roster form the ground up. Lets say with Texas's resources. Go ahead, lay it all out for us. Number of kids per year recruited out of HS, the # of stars for each of those kids, number of roster spots overall, number of roster spots assigned to each position, expected player churn and portal retention each year, average salary of each position, # of scholarship players, number of PAID scholarship players, go on, lay it all out for us, guy who has it all figured out. Lets say your Total Budget is 50 million dollars a year. Come on, show us all how Texas should be doing it.

We all know you're incapable, unwilling, and likely both, to actually take the time to lay out a position and defend it. Especially when it requires thought, time, and effort. But prove me wrong, chooch. Show us you're not a one trick pony that exists entirely to wail and moan on the internet as an unintentional billboard of the failures of public education.

The stupid is contagious here. It’s insane.

We have seen, from prior years!, that the final enrollment date, @JesusSweatDuck , for a semester does not matter. There are exceptions. So why create a false premise? Does it move the conversation forward?

As to the NFL roster or practice stuff, most of that was discussed in the offseason and preseason threads on the football board, and many of us here were not in favor of it. It wasn’t discussed in any depth on the $9.95er forum and BO&W is being disingenuous with his bullshit fucking claims otherwise. The idea he’s conveying in his comments right now is that he gets it and we’re otherwise in fantasyland does not deserve any further oxygen. I’m convinced he posts while wearing clown makeup.

The continued panicking over OL depth here is nauseating. Texas is still working on some big answers to their rotation and then will sign, as with other positions, guys who can fill in the roster. Barring catastrophe for any team, no one is reaching regularly into their 3 deep for help at any position, OL and otherwise. This stupid fucking lamentation that Texas should have starter quality experience and depth behind, you know, the starters, is ridiculous and some sort of new portal horror porn kink for a bunch of you guys coming off as rubes.

Right here in this thread a new phenomenon in CFB fandom can be witnessed. People are now panicking when the concept of playing a younger player to replace a starter is floated. New starters developed on the roster after being recruited to the school is how starting talent has been replaced for 150 fucking years. Now? Unacceptable. No talent recruited into the program can become a starter. If Texas loses a starter to the NFL, by gawd, he better be replaced from the portal with proven starter talent from the P4. If that isn’t the case, then Texas doesn’t give a fuck about winning and is happy being mediocre.

Why even have a recruiting board with this level of hivemind idiotic thinking?

I really, really hope that "portal horror porn kink" catches on and has staying power.

I don’t recall there being any meaningful discussion about NFL style practices until we started seeing problems with the o-line in actual games. I’m on here quite a bit, so I think I would’ve seen it if it was discussed at length in the off-season.

I’m sure we can pay backup OL a fair rate, but we’re also asking them to burn a year of eligibility in return, which is very valuable to these guys.

And herein lies the rub, what can Nevada pay for a player from lets say, Georgia State, to start vs. what can we pay for him to be a likely backup and how much value does the player put on a guaranteed starter status at the FBS level.

IMO, OL is the most important asst coach on the team from both talent evaluation to development. To be competitive you are going to have to have a first rate talent evaluation team specifically for OL. in our case, QB, the most important position, is handled by our head coach so we should put more money into OL support functions, so that you can find quality depth at lower levels(maybe even FCS), get them here(tamper to portal) on deals that they wouldn't see, and coach them up. The Oregon State guard actually could be a good indicator this year.

Skill guys(and even DL), again IMO, are much easier to evaluate. you can rotate DL much more also. While every position has to "do its job", OL is a functioning unit unlike an other unit on the team and you tend not to rotate at all unless there is injury.

Either pay has to come down or roster sizes cannot get larger. Seems unlikely star players will take a pay cut, so capping rosters seems inevitable. I do not think Texas will ever get to 53 man roster, but NFL teams carry 70 with practice players. Given nature of having younger players, College will likely have larger rosters. Is that number 75 or 85, who knows.

The thing is, even if the "scholarship limits" were 105 and funding them and NIL was no issue - only about 65 players really matter. How many players even travel? Many moons ago, that number was 75, and the last 10-15 or so to make the travel roster barely rep in practice and never sniff the field in the game. Also, I get the talk about depth and the desire to run out fresh guys (especially at the DT positions), but my very unpopular opinion is that I don't love subbing a real dude just for the sake of rotation or to make sure my second string guy feels good about snaps. I hate seeing Colin Simmons (insert name of any other DUDE) arbitrarily not on the field if he doesn't need a breather. I see this is starting to turn into a personal rant on substitution patterns, so I'll STFU

I remember the handwringing in August when he went down regarding how that impacted depth. Now the guy will return for the 2026 season as a potential swing OT and no one wants the fucking guy. Got to find someone to chart on the roster above him from the portal, probably a starter at another P4 that we need to convince to get in the motherfucker.

Considering Baxter, Clark, Cojoe and many others have been lost to injuries suffered in practice, I'm all for adopting whatever routine might limit such risks without materially hurting in-game performance. If a few high-level programs have found a better way, let's follow them.

#12472

I would think that Jaydon Chatman and Andre Cojoe will be credible backup options as seniors. You'd hope that one or two of Jackson Christian, Sikorski and the Coleman brothers is not completely disastrous. If we get Seaton somehow, a passable left guard and a backup center, we're in pretty good shape. We'd actually have excellent tackle depth and then you just pray that one of the backup guards can play at about a Cole Hutson level.

You have to remember that players tap themselves out too. That's why it's much more important to have depth on defense. I am more concerned about getting quality depth for our OLB room than I am about the 7th offensive lineman on the roster. If Texas has to use two backups on the O Line for an extended period of time then we are probably fucked just like every team in the country at this point

#12475

Please confirm that I am correct on this. The portal for all non- NC team players closes on the 16th. Then the window for the NC players opens only for those players. Correct? A guy last night was saying it reopened for all players during that 20-24th window. He seemed pretty convinced, and I didn't want to argue about it. Am I right or wrong?

In other words... IF we feel like we had a couple of OL from Indiana, who wanted to tan in the spring at Lake Travis. We would have then hair on fire panic between the 16th and the NC portal window due to the lack of OL signings. And we could still end up just fine with a get or two from Miami or Indiana. Just wondering if somebody here was going to perhaps live stream OL induced hari kari this weekend, if the cupboard is not full by Friday. ;-)

#12476

Yeah, that 2nd window is just for the Championship game teams. The only way another school opens is if they fire or lose their coach.

If we land Seaton, my guess is Goosby would slide over to RT. If only because Goosby + Baker would be a strong combo to run behind on the right side of the line, while Seaton is an excellent pass protector but an indifferent run blocker.

So at this point we have lost 5 players from the 2025 class?

Evan Vieth: Re-examining Texas' 2025 recruiting class and the state of the underclassmen crop

After it was announced that offensive lineman Nick Brooks was to enter the transfer portal, Texas has now officially lost 20% of its 2025 No. 1 overall recruiting class after just one season. Brooks joined WR Jamie Ffrench, LB Elijah Barnes, RB Rickey Stewart Jr. and CB Caleb Chester in the transfer portal, five players of the 25 that made up one of the most impressive recruiting efforts of Steve Sarkisian’s time as a head coach.

It’s becoming increasingly more clear that Texas is prioritizing the transfer portal more and more, even at the expense of depth and certain long-term development plans. Texas has added a total of six players in the portal at the five combined positions. That number could end up closer to nine by the time we enter fall camp. With Texas already starting to see its 2025 class poached in the portal, people outside of the building are becoming increasingly more aware of the state of long-term depth in the program. You can only afford to lose so many developmental pieces.

Texas, of course, has plans in place. They know they’ll have to continue to portal heavily until changes are made to the system, and they’re prioritizing either true line-cutters or development pieces. Players in the middle are tough to hold onto. With that being said, is Texas still in a good place with developmental depth around its roster? We’re going to examine every position and the current numbers from the 2026, 2025 and any player whose used a redshirt year in the 2024 class. Basically, anyone with three or more years of eligibility left.

QB: KJ Lacey, Dia Bell

Right on track, and a lot of talent between these two. Texas will continue to scout and develop quarterbacks out of high school.

RB: James Simon, Michael Terry*, Derrek Cooper and Jett Walker

We’ll count Terry in this group for now. Numbers and talent wise Texas is in a good spot here. Four total RBs between two classes is the pace they were on before the portal revolution, and Cooper specifically profiles as a true game changer going forward. Simon and Terry both redshirted, so they’ll have four years of eligibility. Walker provides a good floor in the room, potentially being an impactful power back for 2028 and beyond.

WR: Daylan McCutcheon, Kaliq Lockett, Jermaine Bishop, Kohen Brown, Chris Stewart

This is a really weird one to evaluate. Firstly, the only of the four 2024 WRs to still be on the team is Ryan Wingo, who never redshirted. Secondly, Texas went from a four-WR 2025 class to maybe just two, with Ffrench’s transfer decision and Terry moving to RB late in the year. Bishop and Brown also are two-way players, and may profile better as DBs. Still, five total players, four of which having four years of eligibility remaining, is still a good spot to be in. Texas could MAYBE look into the portal for an outside receiver with three or more years of eligibility left, but that probably isn’t necessary.

TE: Nick Townsend, Emaree Winston, Charlie Jilek

Texas is doing fine here. Townsend will start this year, Winston will likely contribute next season and Jilek has long-term potential. It’s a position they’ll look to portal often, as well.

OT: Jordan Coleman, John Turntine, Kaden Scherer

Thin thin thin. After the departure of Brooks, they have just one tackle from the 2024-25 class that can fit into this bucket in Coleman. Texas needs another long-term add here after Brooks left. You’ve got to set a floor at a position this important, even if you do inevitably portal more starters in going forward.

IOL: Dylan Sikorski, Jackson Christian, Devin Coleman, Nicolas Robertson

This is arguably in even more of a dire spot, as Sikorski doesn’t have four years of eligibility and Robertson is the 2026 class’s only non-early enrollee. IOL also features three positions compared to two at OT. Again, Texas would benefit from adding a long-term option here. The Longhorns might need four or more total OL adds before the portal ends.

DT: Zion Williams, Josiah Sharma, Myron Charles, James Johnson

Texas did well in adding Williams, now holding two-longterm nose tackles and defensive tackles in this group of four. Would they have prefferred one more, especially from the 2026 class? Yes, but there’s enough talent here and with the players on the two-deep that have two years of extra eligibility to not complain.

EDGE: Lance Jackson, Zina Umeozulu, Justus Terry, Smith Orogbo, Richard Wesley, Jamarion Carlton

Overall, Texas looks awesome here, though they may be looking for a true edge option in the portal. Still, it’s six players, with a clear split on who profiles better as a defensive end and who profiles better as an edge in the Will Mushcamp defense. This is one of the most stacked young position groups on the team.

LB: Tyler Atkinson, Rocky Cummings, Kosi Okpala

Only players from the 2026 class, that’s rough. Barnes portalled, Jonathan Cunningham has moved positions and Ty’Anthony Smith, the only class of 2024 LB, never redshirted. It would be overkill for them to get an underclassmen in this portal when they need a starting Mike for the season, which means the 2027 class has to be deep at LB. To the staff’s credit, at least the three players play three distinct positions and fit each spot well going forward.

CB: Graceson Littleton, Kade Phillips, Wardell Mack, Jonathan Cunningham, Samari Matthews, Hayward Howard

Right where you want to be. Texas has multiple players that profile well as outside corners, and guys like Cunningham or Mack fit different types of strengths at the STAR position as the slot corner. Texas has done great work here and should continue their strategy of taking three per class.

SAF: Jonah Williams, Zelus Hicks, Toray Davis, Yaheim Riley

Yet again, right in line. I think the Longhorns wished that Jordon Johnson-Rubell had been redshirted, as he is a great candidate to be a strong special teamer and future starter as a five-year player, but he played a lot as a true freshman in 2024. Texas averages two safeties and five total DBs per class, which makes for a solid group of young talent being added every single season.

One day in season. CFB is still typically two.

But that's not what's meant. NFL teams practice less in pads than what is allowed, and focus more on classroom, walkthroughs, and player-led skill training.

What NFL-style practice means is that you spend your padded practice day in an intense 90-120 minute session where you get fined for not sprinting and not knowing a classroom teaching point. Instead of a 4-hour practice spent teaching and taking breaks as you go. Impetus is on the player to be basically game-ready.

Chad Simmons: Texas State OL Tellek Lockette locks in two visits with a decision nearing

The transfer portal window closes at midnight on Friday, and one of the most coveted offensive linemen still on the board is Tellek Lockette. Last season at Texas State, he 6-foot-3, 320-pound mauler earned a 90.6 grade from Pro Football Focus, the highest among Group of Five linemen this season, and his recruitment is approaching its final stretch. After the dead period ends, On3 has confirmed that Lockette will visit Rutgers on Thursday. He will head to South Carolina for a two-day stay on Friday and Saturday.

Conversations remain ongoing with Baylor, LSU and Texas about a potential late-weekend visit as well. A decision isn’t far off. “Tellek is likely to have his mind made up by the end of the weekend,” Lockette’s agent, Joe Vacarro, told On3. With only one year of eligibility remaining, Lockette’s priorities are clear. “It’s about the opportunity and the situation,” On3 was told. “Tellek doesn’t want to be courted or take a bunch of visits in January — he wants to get settled. It’s about the right fit on the field. NIL is not the focus for him. He wants to move up a level and continue to develop.

“Once the offers start coming in, it may not take long for him to decide. Tellek wants a chance to compete right away in his final year, and that’s what matters most to him. It is all about him putting himself in the best position for the NFL.”
