You said to be smart with your money and then you said not to spend it on hookers and blow. Seems you are confused.

April 30Apr 30 Should we expect that WR hit the portal? I forgot if grad transfers are exempt from the timeframe to enter during both portal windows.

May 1May 1 Popular Post Again, as it has been said, the WR is supposedly a graduate transfer, so they don't have to enter the portal. So, I don't take this as it's not still a possibility because they didn't enter before the portal closed.

The White Stag of every transfer cycle for Texas is the badass WR who will not be named, but would change everything if he joined the program. We've faced that in 3 consecutive cycles. Now, I'm not saying Texas hasn't also signed some terrific WR transfers in each cycle, because they have. Nonetheless, there's always been "another". Two years in a row it was the WR/KR from Kentucky who finally went in in the 3rd year and Texas ignored him. One of those years, Evan Stewart had also agreed to a deal and ATM moneywhipped him stay and continue to devolve into a team-destroying shitheel. The guy out there remaining as a potential get, who will probably stay where he's at and deflate us all, would be a better get than either Stewart or the Kentucky guy. At least, IMO.
May 1May 1 Burton's provides a really good way to analyze the portal results. I hadn't really thought of how to make an overall judgment even though his, after reading it, seems obvious. Sometimes that must be pointed out for some of us.

Bobby said in the first line of his post that no new entrants - graduate or otherwise - can enter the portal. This comports with what is on the NCAA website: "Moving forward, student-athletes are expected to enter the Transfer Portal within their sport's notification-of-transfer windows, which Division I members emphasized are important for providing transparency to student-athletes and coaches for recruitment opportunities, roster management and financial aid planning. There will continue to be exceptions to the legislated transfer windows, including for the departure of a head coach or a discontinued sport.

May 1May 1 So some guy graduates and enrolls elsewhere in graduate school, they’re saying he can’t play? That won’t withstand legal challenge…
May 1May 1 I think there is still a window for grad students to transfer. The bold portion reads as though a student's name might not appear until completing all academic requirements. So, the potential WR could have notified the school, but the school can't put the name in until that player has graduated. https://web3.ncaa.org/lsdbi/reports/getReport/90008 13.1.1.4.2 Notification of Transfer -- Postgraduate Student-Athletes. A student-athlete who will participate as a postgraduate student at another institution following the next regular academic term or academic year (two semesters/three quarters) may initiate the notification of transfer process at any time between October 1 and the end of the final period specified for the applicable sport in Bylaw 13.1.1.4.1 by providing the student-athlete's institution with a written notification of transfer and completing an educational module related to transferring. The student-athlete's institution shall enter the student-athlete's information into the national transfer database within two business days of receipt of a written notification of transfer from the student-athlete or receipt of confirmation of the student-athlete's completion of the educational module, whichever occurs later.

So, I don't take this as it's not still a possibility because they didn't enter before the portal closed. I went ahead and looked up where some of our guys went, because I couldn't remember and I still want good things for them. Justice Finkley went to Kansas. He was maxed out and was seeing less and less playing time every season. Can't fault the kid for wanting to play and its a good school academically, but for some reason I thought he came to Texas to eventually go to medical school. KU has a medical school too, so that may still be the plan, but I'm surprised he didn't stay to graduate. I will miss his mom's online presence, she was awesome. Aaron Bryant went to Vandy. Good for him, that seems like a solid move. I gotta ask, how bad was he that he couldn't find the field for us with how much we needed a run stuffer? I would have thought he would at least be in the three-deep this season. But Vandy is a great spot for any kid from the south who values a degree. Jaray Bledsoe and Derion Gullette both transferred to Mississippi State. That seems like a drastic step down. Both guys are from Texas and both were billed as freak athletes (although Gullette's injury may have limited his upside), so I would have thought someone local would have picked them up. Or at least someone better than MSU. Either way it's a shame, I had high hopes for these guys. I don't really give a shit about Niblack, Mitchell, or Cook.
