the portal closes tomorrow no point of having money left over for the 26 season

I bet we’re still going to see some big names hit the portal. I’d love to have Seaton, but I’d also like to have that edge from Ole Miss too. 

Is Conner Robertson guaranteed a starting spot at center? What if an upgrade over him joins the portal and we upgrade at the other guard spot as well? IMO Robertson is serviceable, but not great, I wonder what the staff thinks

He’s the starter

He was supposed to, we’ve heard nothing of a canceling

As of now yes. But like I said, do any of us think he is anything above serviceable? I personally don’t, not a shot on him but if you solidify both guard spots and someone happens to go into the portal I’m curious what Texas does🤷🏼‍♂️

There also will be grad transfers that can come over when they graduate and camp in the summer, right?

Just because Texas finishes up the portal soon now doesn’t mean there won’t be guys in May.

makes a lot of sense

I was under the impression he wasn’t any good. Am I wrong hopefully?

Idk if anyone bigger than Seaton rn in the portal. He’s the big fish we need to hook. I honestly don’t think anyone is a higher priority than him right now and if surprisingly someone like a Leonard Moore from ND or a Jeremiah Smith were to jump in last minute for no reason then i see no reason not to spend it on Seaton as of now.

*not a doomer post* but I’d love a guard who’s played guard

As would I. I just don’t see a world on passing on Seaton when he’s available.

How it used to feel to come back to these threads

how it feels now

Please let me weigh in with my expert opinion (I played left guard on my peewee football team in 2nd grade). We will roll out a much better and deeper OLine next year than we had this past season. We have arguably a top QB, RB room, receiver room, TE room and now an above average OLine. Defensive coordinators on our schedule have doubled up on their therapy sessions when contemplating defending this offense. I provide you all this without grotesque pictures of me eating mayo laced corn dogs. OTF, let me know if you want a copy of my resume.

You’ll have to give up that dream. We’ll make him an offer, but we’re not breaking the bank for him after today. I’m not saying I agree with that strategy, but that’s just reality.

@Gerry Hamiltonis in hiding hmmmm sus

I think it is extremely idiotic to assume Seaton or Goosby would move to RT. Both those guys are Alphas and want to be LT

He gets mauled by the cream of the DL in SEC, that's for sure. If they choose to roll with him there, they'll need get some maulers at OG to help him.

That's a pretty low bar to clear. You'd sure hope so.

This guy would have to make a decision pretty quickly. If he wants to win- come to Texas.

Very convincing "money is NOT a huge factor for me" list of schools, Princwill. 

I’m gonna say it… I would rather have the miss st guard and prince will over seaton.

Tomorrow's deadline is just for entry. He has up until the end of the add drop period, and even then, I'm sure they could make it work a little beyond that.

Right, add/drop is Tuesday. He’ll have to decide this weekend in all likelihood
