Anyone want to pitch in on hiring an Etsy witch to turn this around?

Not an insider, but I feel like the Texas staff is getting called by agents saying "a lot of upheaval over here. My guy is interested in looking around. I see you have a need and he'd be interested in visiting. I can't make any promises, but there's a good shot." Do you turn that down for fear of missing out or bring that in and take a shot? You take the shot, but the home team always bats last. You had money committed to potentially winning that, that you now move on with. And I don't think you (or the Texas staff) are likely to let guys you're really genuinely interested in (or that are genuinely interested in you since it works both ways) get away in the meantime.

Hear me out. When I was pondering what law school to go to, I received substantially more money from some good schools than I did from UT. However, I cannot explain to you the allure of not moving your entire life in your early 20s if you perceive staying (near all of your friends and where you've come to feel is home) to be a good option career-wise. As such, I am a double longhorn with a lot of student loans.

Weren't there like 15 visitors this past weekend, most of whom were unnamed at the request of agents.

There goes the good vibes. Never ever pursue linemen from Michigan.

Remember when Joe Wickline greeted a recruit with "Hey, fat ass."? The good old days.

Mute feature is so funny when y'all get going.

Wake up sheeple (bringing this over from the #DeadThread)

Bobby and Jeff hinted on the livestream that they've heard we COULD fill up on OL by the end of the week if the staff wanted to. They are swinging for the elite right now. If we need the next level down, we can get it.

Also done to protect the kids’ “moment” in announcing their own commitment.

Silent commitment (a commitment given to the Texas staff but not announced publicly yet).

Los Angeles, CA checking in! Though Austin is always home.

Not bad for college football’s first flop!

Happy New Year! As the football season ends today and spring rapidly approaches, saw a couple Texas baseball updates on Twitter/X, very much in line with @Blake Munroe’s reporting, and thought I’d share! 44 days!

The partnership with Achane is a great one for him

QUINN IS DEALING

Provided stability and an identity for this team to fall back on as the offense juggled injuries and inconsistency. Forever appreciative for him taking this defense to elite levels. Gave us something really good to build upon in a transition to a more aggressive/physical style that we frankly were not equipped to run his first few years. The Rivalry Chessmaster. Hope the best for him (unless he's coaching against Texas).

Perusing Juluke’s offer list at Florida last year and some that caught my eye: Girard Pringle Jr.: 3rd most carries on Miami’s depth chart (by about 50 carries) with a junior and sophomore in front of him. Still performed this year, averaging 6.2 yds on 58 carries. Good hands out of the backfield too, 4 catches for 53 yards. Harlem Berry: Notably his parents were public about wanting Frank Wilson retained and that did not happen. Ousmane Kromah: really good downhill back that was third in touches behind a bad FSU team where the writing seems to be on the wall… (though Kam Davis already portaled out). 72 carries averaging 5.7 YPC https://x.com/clay_fink/status/1961894964868076029?s=46

Bo Jackson Jr. welcome to Austin. And Ohio St. (as recently rumored) wins the Baugh bidding war.

Genuinely thought Lefau would be a captain next year. Consistent starter, dawg mentality, had some media responsibilities this year. That one is confounding (without knowing what's gone on behind the scenes). Major rebuild at LB needed all of a sudden (as opposed to just an experienced role player).

@Gerry Hamilton has always maintained he was a better athlete than his role on the field may have shown. Wouldn’t shock me if his combine/pro day numbers are pretty darn good.

What are the chances Jaden Greathouse hits the portal this year? Weird year with injury. But I’m not super convinced it was an injury that needed to keep him out as long as it did. And even early in the season, his usage was weird. Over the course of the season, despite the improvement of Carr, their best receivers’ stats don’t blow you away. Any chance he looks around for a more dynamic offense? My very tied in ND friend doesn’t feel great about this situation fwiw (but is very excited for Kaydon Finley after his performance vs Frisco Lone Star). @CJ Vogel @Gerry Hamilton @Jeff Howe @Bobby Burton
