Rather have golden come back

I agree, but I kinda assumed that since he’s gone nuclear the last 6 weeks that it was likely a foregone conclusion that he’d be going pro. Plus, we still need a speed receiver. If Bond were smart, he’d come back for one more year.

Yes, that is his little brother.

Not to be rude here, but Bond is being smart by going to the NFL. He's getting 1st round grades still. Coming back only further increases his chance of getting an injury and not furthering his draft stock. 

@Gerry HamiltonIowa state dl to A&M this frustrating is this risky to wait in spring an see if there any guys you like A&M is taking the guys you like an you waiting kike it’s no big deal to risky?

Reading Marvin Jones, Jr is visiting Texas today. Didn’t think edge was a need. 

Might be a Trey Moore replacement if he's more than likely going pro.

 

I really don't get our DT portal recruiting....it's a huge blaring need but we're recruiting it like a back burner.

Dumb question, but is there any chance whatsoever that Bond returns? He could go kill it at the combine and reinvigorate his draft stock, but coming back another year could push him back to the 1st round. Or is he just dead set on going pro?

He needs to improve on route running and ball catching.  He could move up in the draft if he returned.

Travis Shaw is in Austin.

For a five star coming out of high school, he appears to have 2 star stats at UNC after three years.

Yeah, couldn't stay out of trouble unfortunately. His path was where I felt Johntay was headed with his ego/attitude. https://www.si.com/college/texas/news/former-texas-and-alabama-wr-agiye-hall-please-no-contest-to-drug-trafficking-charge-01j44vybgj4k (just realized how poorly SI is edited.

I don’t think that’s entirely fair. His stats last year were very Bill Norton-ish. And he’s definitely more of a clog the gaps / occupy space / demand double teams kind of player. They often don’t put up monster numbers but are so critical in PK’s system.

Best transfer announcement 

Did I miss mention of Texas signing QB CJ Rogers out of the portal yesterday?

Possibly not fair, but I don't think Norton was a very highly touted 5 star like Shaw was and after three seasons Shaw's numbers look like someone that plays part time.  I don't think that UNC's defensive line is so fantastic that Shaw doesn't play much for that reason.  If he can play a Norton type role here then that would be more than satisfactory.  If he comes and enrolls in the spring the coaching staff and strength training staff may be able to push him into that 5 star direction.
