We literally have two top 5 edge rushers this cycle guys I promise you we are okay. If the young man wants to go else where let him lol

There's gone and there's gone-gone.  Hilson is gone-gone.

How about we trust the coaches that he’s not worth the extra NIL money and we re allocate elsewhere.   He’s dead to me. Move on.  Still will have a top 3-4 class - just won’t be 1 or 2.  Who cares. 

If I always trusted the coaches I would have thought Tom Herman and Charlie Strong had all the answers.

Posts like this are reminders to myself to not let the decisions of a teenager ruin my day.  Mind you a decision that has not been made yet.

It’s always the “Who cares” kinda comments for me. He’s clearly upset yet tries to end it with a who cares, incredible fandom. 

I feel like this is one Texas might regret missing out on. Felt like we led for a while...getting out bid at the end for a player of this caliber is rough.

Note on Javion Hilson 

Texas A&M has/is making a big, big late run at 4-star++ EDGE Javion Hilson (Cocoa, Fla./High). 

 

Is Texas shifting its focus to Marshall?

Hilson and Marshall isn’t a one or the other. They are completely different players. One guy will be a 6-3.5, 260 pound EDGE, the other 6-4, 300’ish 5/3. 

Texas doesn’t feel great about Marshall - as of Friday lunchtime. 

We shall see if that changes. Have to overcome mom’s relationship/trust with Auburn.

Maybe we can or have reallocated Hilson money to J Terry or Marshall.

He’s had Longhorn gear on in virtually every photo previous to this. These guys always switch the gear they wear. Not a big deal

If Hilson is not coming, throw everything but the kitchen sink at J Terry.

@qaertyisthatdude Just curious if this one reminding me of Solomon Williams, who was long considered a silent to Texas last year before he started talking to a&m out of the blue, is still funny.

Yes read on the Auburn site she was all Auburn . So that situation will be hard to overcome, but you take your shot period. Would love to have at least one of them, but as you said different players. Portal gonna be so important here in a few days for D Line help for sure!

Gerry, what is up with Hicks? Chance we are losing him as well?

Any word on where Hilson is headed today?

Passing on Tobi Haastrup will look pretty foolish with the way this is playing out

Love his upside. With increased scholarships would certainly give a guy like this an offer. Along with 5 punters and kickers 

Hope Hilson makes a football decision as Gerry was alluding to for so long and not just a pure money decision because we saw on the field where he would be developed better 

Ouch! my guest is NIL is a game changer today.

Hilson goes to A&M it will be development, ability to start the development on the field early and A&M went way above and beyond.

Scrotum had a very difficult time with Goosby.  Do you think Hilson noticed?   🤔
