Im still trying to figure out why in the hell we'd implement an experimental change in Arch's last year. 

this is a pretty good question.

Hence why I said so far. We can’t just pretend like Texas hasn’t failed in the portal up to this point. They have missed on just about everyone. That is an issue. 

In recruiting battles where we’re competing with other “new” schools, I’m pretty sure the only big portal recruitment we’ve lost so far is Alliegro. 
 

These players’ current schools have heavy advantages over any outside school recruiting them (if they want to), and that has cost us

New t-shirt idea

 

Brown is expected back at the facility this morning to celebrate the commitment with the coaching staff and continue his visit in Austin.

Cant find much on the injury, but had surgery in spring of last year.  3 star LB out of St. Thomas Aquinas.  May be able to get him a little cheaper 🤷‍♂️

Cade is going back to Cal I've seen this happen already

Sorry if this has been mentioned but is Cade the linebacker from Cal considered a good fit for Muschamp defense? Does the staff like him a lot?

203 snaps over four years, my bet is no.

I watched his tape, he’s fast and aggressive. Seems to understand leverage and is smart from what I saw. I think he’s an upgrade to Lefau

@CJ Vogel or @Jeff Howe can we confirm if any teammates showed up to arch’s birthday party this past year? Why doesn’t anyone want to come play in Austin lol

I don't know, Coop, what do you think is more plausible:

That nobody on an 85-man person squad attended a party thrown by the captain?

Or could it be that when the cops got to the place and realized that Sark's boys had done nothing wrong, decided not to take down any of the players' names because they didn't want to jam up a bunch of good kids for doing nothing?

No, wait a minute... Your theory seems right. Arch Manning... Arch Manning hasn't got any friends.

Good luck with the portal today!

Remember Sarkisian let the best GM in football Billy Glasscock leave and replaced him with Brandon Harris lmao 

 

Players signed from the Portal as of last night..

 

Ohio State 1.... Now 2

Georgia 1

Oregon 1

Notre Dame o

BYU 0

Miami 0

 

I guess all these teams the process is broken too.... 

 

Long way to go. Lets see how it finishes before we meltdown.... And honestly if it goes bad Sark won't make it here. It really is that simple. I am win or GTFO fan.......No need is losing our minds every second.. 

Bobby said on C&F that he’s taking the OTF staff on a trip after the portal closes. This board has finally broken him.

Willingham told him to go see what Texas will offer you and come back and let me know 🤣🤣

Former LSU DL Zion Williams is back on campus for day two of his visit, OTF has learned.

In all seriousness. It is getting craziness to keep reading “Texas offered X hundred thousand more and player x decided to return/commit elsewhere” 

Can’t even money whip these kids in the NIL era

That's what makes the struggles Texas had in the early portion of the portal frustrating for me. It's not just one thing. It's a case-by-case basis on the misses.

The other dynamic is that Florida and Michigan have new coaches. Texas targeted guys that both schools didn't want to lose.

@CJ Vogel @Gerry Hamilton our biggest needs are LB and OL correct? Sprinkle in a downfield wr and maybe another bruiser at RB, maybe another edge? I understand we have wiffed alot but it’s still early and have basically now and summer portal window to address the problems? I feel like we are in a decent spot? I’m sure both of u have elaborated on that already.
