The Jim Nagy effect?

Sounds like it.  Apparently they were paying him $850k last year and Stone was told that was going to be cut in half this year.  So he dipped out.  Nagy probably needed that extra cash for the RB

A difference maker that the mods were talking about.  Would not be surprised to see Texas take a look at him despite not being a necessity.  The safety room is loaded but you never know.

There’s too much experience and talent in the safety room to take one in the portal. It’s really down to just DL, edge, and kr/pr unless there’s more attrition. I only say edge because they brought in the kid from Stanford and jones (I think) from FSU. So they seem to be looking for a difference maker at that spot.

I agree. I think if you add him with Taaffe and Jelani and Williams then you could move Jelani to Star full time. And rotate the safety room.

There really isn’t outside of 3 guys and one guy is coming off an ACL. Outside of those 3 there isn’t much experience. 

So far is it only Malik Agbo and Bert Auburn that have entered the portal on the Texas roster? Haven’t heard of anyone else

Freddie Dubose, Reece Beauchamp, and a walk on RB.  I think it's just those five players so far

Reece and RB don’t count

Woo pig sooie.  That is as bad as a male cheerleader.

Are we going to do anything in the portal? No easter commits yet? SMH Sark! DO YOUR JOB

I get it but safety is a position where it shouldn’t take top talent 3 years to get in the rotation. I want to see the young bucks get in the rotation this year so they are ready for a bigger/starting role next year. I’m expecting Jonah along with 1 of the year 2 guys to be in the rotation and play well next year. Why recruit 5 star talent if you are going to bring in experienced players that block them from the rotation so they hit the portal. Not to mention that’s a lot of NIL money sitting on the bench.

What 5 stars at Texas has this happened to? 

Just wait until the sun sets #SarkAfterDark

If we get Watson we would have the best DL in the country.

Under Sark 5 stars are developing and getting on the field in the 1st 2 years which is why I don’t see a need for a portal db when you have talent ready to get in the rotation.

Obviously, i am impatient for news? So, have we stalled out regarding filling the last few spots as related to portal additions specifically another DL?

That’s a big-time player. We need to get him and Watson on campus ASAP and sign one of them.

Can’t go after him since he’s SEC, but seems like more starting-level DTs are hitting the portal right now.

My guess is they are probably hearing about all the big NIL numbers being thrown out by programs.

I think if the player is a grad transfer, they can play immediately even SEC to SEC.
