I keep coming here hoping to see we've acquired an experienced OL and/or DL.

Hasn't happened yet ?

Remember. This staff moves with the speed of a glacier.

Yes they do. Baylor and A$M have already have a OL man commited for 2023. Proably top ten in Texas.

This may be true but perhaps it's a good thing. Remember what Sark said about OL recruiting - something to the effect of "we could fill up our class now if we wanted but we want the right guys". Look at the 2022 OL class that we have due to that patience.

And speaking of patience, take a breath ETX. You were antsy about 2022 OL recruiting and Texas just signed perhaps our best OL class in the modern day history of recruiting (pending 5 star Campbell). Now you are on edge because Baylor and ATM have 2 3 star linemen committed.

Transfers will come, but this staff isn't looking to rush things, to fill up, they are looking for the right guys at the right positions and the right time.

Pitt hasn't been relatively in college footlball in years. I only remember playing them in the blue bonnet  bowl? Or some useless bowl otherwise they have been unimportant in college football since Dorsett was there is early to mid 70's. 

Thus Marion can use a 2-3 star recruit turned into a award winning receiver to get better WRs to Texas and play with better QBs than anything the useless aggies will ever put on the field. 

It should be interesting to see if more leave and when and what's  available in the spring time.

Pitt was pretty good with Marino late 70s early 80s. Jackie Sherrill was the coach.

From IT yesterday...

"...confident Texas isn’t done adding and subtracting and I will continue to say Texas will be big winners in the transfer market."

Getting a little late to add anyone for Spring semester to get ready for the season .

Edit: Anyone else.  Getting Ewers and Watts is huge.  So, maybe IT is just focusing on those 2 as being big winners in the transfer market.

Do not need to take a breath and not antsyjust concerned. Was suprized with OL signed.

Sure they were money whipped. Ok that is legal. Afraid that and other things will change football as we know it. From a amature sport its gone pro. Maybe big schools will have JCS as farm teams who knows.

The Baylor and other commit was to point out Texas is slow and players are commitmenting else where and could care less who other teams sign.

Maybe Sark can out bidd them!

I sure hope so, but I'm losing a little faith...just a little.

Well, there's more than 600 athletes in the portal with more to come. And finding out who Sark is talking to has not been an easy thing for any of the sites.

It’s always been pro. Just now it will be above the table. Rhett Bomar and Reggie Bush wouldn’t have caused problems for themselves and their schools under these rules. The Pony Express wouldn’t have given SMU the death penalty. Everyone was doing it to a certain extent so you made every team a bit dirty. Nike, Under Armor and Adidas were paying basketball players and probably football players too. The whole college sports system was sleazy if you looked. Most people chose to bury there head in the sand and pretend the system was perfectly amateur. It wasn’t.  Now they can take their money above the table.

i know and it's pissing me off.  He needs to keep me (us) informed of his overall plan so we can either applaud it or talk sh$t about it.

I, for one, am glad its not out everywhere. The last three regimes were pretty leaky with the info. This one is a tighter ship.

"Thus Marion can use a 2-3 star recruit turned into a award winning receiver to get better WRs to Texas"

Are you referring to somone specifically here? Because Texas does not need to be recruiting 2-3 star recruits very often. 

The WR that won the dumbass best WR award. Thought he was a 2-3 star player when he signed with Pitt.

No, we need to develop our high 3 stars, 4 stars, and get some 5 stars at the position and development of these guys. 

That why I said everyone needs to slow down on his leaving in a year. If Marion really wanted to be an OC then he should've gone on to Temple to be the OC for Stan.

Think even he knows and understands that whether small college, division III, division II, group of 5 colleges and power 5 colleges has levels and while Pitt is a P5, they aren't Texas.

Like SHA said, no I don't  want them putting anything out.  They might put out a like out on a player or follow a player on their whatever the hell IG and Twitter is, don't  waste my time on garbage. Just to get others to get interest in these guys while there may be guys after spring that leave that are better than what we have and guys that we have that realize that their time or position time is dropping or gone due to this staff seeing better production during spring ball at their position. DL, looking at all of you as well as LBs. 

Thus I agree that IT is right in saying there will be more coming in and going out till June/July. One must have patience with this staff to see how they decide the team needs to be built. By my account, they got a top notch QB and a possible nickel/ free safety in Watts.  They also got a RB and hopefully a better MIddle LB in Richardson now that both have had solid time on ST and seeing some time while limited at their positions.

When they stop the flow of all the better WRS to OSU I will be happer.
