2022 Texas Portal News

[Sirhornsalot]

Are these in regards to the google eyes from last week ?

I don't think so. I think McKinzie was up in the air until his weekend visit

 

[TFloss32]

Question

Are we sure this isn't related to the McKinzie commitment? I ask because this tweet is at 8:03 and McKinzie committed at 8:30

I posted this in the wrong 2022 thread, but no, I think it's bigger.

Kate double dipping in the Recruiting and Portal threads has to mean one of each......doesn't it??

I'm afraid so. The next one is supposed to be big. I am assuming this is a portal thing.

Correction, its a recruit. See 2022 recruiting thread.

This Quinn Ewers saga has people freaking out way too much. Is tech an legit option. Yes. Could he be going to tech. Yes. Put people have taken message board posts and made them gospel. A weed dealer knows someone who knows it’s gonna be tech. The brother-in-law of a person is on the staff at Southlake and he says it’s gonna be tech. That’s all hearsay. I think tech will work a lot talk about the NIL he could make there but this guy will make NIL money anywhere. I’m still on the side of he will pick Texas. It just makes the most sense. Start with the timing. The top players thinking of transferring don't just put there name out there and go from there. Usually there has been some talks with staffs through go between. With that, everyone thought he could be entering the portal but the logic was he would wait until after Spring practices to see if he could win the back up QB role at OSU. If tech was the landing place, he could wait until after spring and then go there if he didn’t win the back spot. Next the talk is Ewers wants to bring talent with him to where he goes. If you look at the top players in the state. Which ones are uncommitted who would want to go to tech? Which commits could they flip? I don’t see many. So the talk of bring talent doesn’t line up with him going to tech. Sure he could sign and get 2023 guys to look tech's way but even when they were winning with the pirate, they didn’t really kill it in recruiting so hard to see that being the case with UT going to join aggy in the SEC and the raiding of players from other programs outside the state. Not to mention tech lost to a pretty bad Texas team this year. Can’t sell him on their position in a new Big 12 when they lost to us this season. Also with Baylor looking good, Ok State being good, Iowa St still having Campbell. TCU will be better than them. Cincy will be better than them. And maybe UCF will be better than them. That means he would be going to a 6th best team in a down conference. Not really a good fit for the best recruit in the nation. On the other hand. He likes Sarks offense. He just saw what it could do with players he likely thinks he’s better than. He likes Texas. He was committed there already. He sees he has a Heisman candidate in the backfield and an All-American at WR already. He gets to live in Austin vs Lubbock. He will be the starting QB at The University of Texas. He will get NIL deals. Bijan is said to have made a million dollars last season. He will not hurt for deals. Especially when we are in the SEC. So yeah. Could he choose tech. Of course. They would build a statue for him right now to get him there. But the most logical spot for him is Texas. 

You had me at "weed"

You're afraid so, is that a harbinger of not so good news? If so, we can't have Kate welcoming new ones and ushering others out. That's too confusing for an old guy.

Well, the way you put it kinda made Kate look bad. So I was only trying to save face for her. lol "Kate Double Dipping" could be a porn title. lol

Something big is always good news.

Typical UT gal ?

Pretty tt coed ?

Roach from 247 had a second-hand family source tell him it will be Texas for QB Quinn Ewers.

Texas Tech's 247 site isn't nearly as confident as they were, and that Ewers will be taking a step back to evaluate.

That's understandable for them.  TT isn't used to 5* players flirting with them and then taking a step back to reexamine things. However, at Texas we know all to well what it feels like to be flirted with and then jilted. It's a common occurrence for UT fans.

I'm not real big on the Ewers kid, he's an all about me personality.  If watched him play and I was far more impressed with Klubnik, that is the big miss for me.

If Ewers comes to the forty, I hope he's ready to work his ass off.  Murphy will be.

I’m intrigued about Ewers as a “pied piper”. He had ridiculous HS stats and I saw a video of him throwing a football the length of the field. His game film is pretty good but not earth shattering so I’m not real sure how good he is. I do know prior to skipping his Sr year a lot of the 2022 kids seemed ready to follow him at his school of choice. The possible recruiting ramifications makes me want him to be a Horn.

I too thought Klubnik outplayed him in the state title game but I believe (could be wrong here) he's an aggy legacy so he wasn't coming to Texas anyway.

He could have been a leader in the class.  I can tell you that the Southlake kids didn't miss a beat with his departure, nor did they raise much of a fuss.  Ewers has a arm talent.

Lol

There has been talk Ewers missing home and contemplating transferring for months. You say one week LOL.  First of all who the F@#K is flipping out let alone not enjoying their Sunday?  You assume a lot.  How about you stfu

I was chilling with a glass of bourbon looking at my 4 acre pond and deer Sunday afternoon, not panicking over a 19 year old boy with a mullet and a longing to be the center of attention. 
 

lots of FAN speculation about an 18 year old boy being homesick, but about a week ago the transfer rumors grew legs.  I heard the mess for months, but 3-4 months ago it was only speculation.  

 

[Drb522]

A lot of fans assume the worse with getting QE and the recruiting class because we have seen this movie many times.  Missing out on recruits that we were supposedly solid with.  We have already lost several that were once thought to be in the bag.  
 

Show a little patience with those of us that are cynical about anything Texas attempts to do to make the program better.  Failure has ran more rampant than Earl and Ricky in their hay day. 

We are all speculating on what we believe will happen.  Mine is based on the history over the past 16 years.  If that seems negative then so be it.  

I’ve seen it too, which is why I’m not flipping out over him going to Tech for a visit.  If he ends up at tech bless his heart
