Okay, this DL just went to a position of strength.

Okay, this DL just went to a position of strength.

And with some numbers for future years as well. Nice backfill of a position of need.

Sounds like we have one more spot. Hopefully Keelan Marion from BYU chooses the Horns to close out the stellar 2025 portal class.

I hear we're not talking $$$$ to him.

Gerry says we're good at WR.

Interesting. Any rumors on the final spot?

There don't seem to be any names floating around quite yet.

And at this point, no obvious position that is a weakness or has depth issues.

Still a little thin at WR, and you could even argue TE with only 1 experienced transfer and no one in the room returning with experience. Really talented young guys at both of those spots.

Clearly the staff was open to taking another edge when they pursued the DE from Stanford. A Stud DB would always be a consideration.

All that said, I think you may be looking at pursuing 1 more "best available" type of player. Still 3 days until the spring portal window closes.

There's only seven TE's available in the portal right.

I have no idea about who is available in the portal right now. Just pontificating on who we might take if the right player comes available.

Time to go all-in and win it all this year!

Some notes from Burton that I thought were eye opening today. (paraphrased)

Not a single player from the portal who visited Texas this portal period took a visit somewhere else following their Texas visit.

Texas has added four players in just seven days (five in nine days)

Texas is firing on all cylinders right now. All different aspects of the operation seem to be on point and moving in the right direction. Financial and administrative support is there.

People have clowned Texas for having all the resources and not winning. Those same people are hating seeing Texas put those resources to work in the right way.
