You won't be kicking anyone to the curb if you have a chance to flip Hudson in a few months.

He's a numbers buster, just sign him.

This. 

You take every really good player that you can get your hands on and sort it out later. And you don't ever let up on a player as good as Hudson is. 

And the negative comments toward Hudson are absolutely crazy.

At some point you're going to push a kid out when you don't want to. Especially when it's a numbers game and at some point you will get it wrong.

With NIL, can a player give up their scholarship and keep their NIL to allow another recruit for that year? I'm sure QE is making a lot of money via NIL. The scholarship money is peanuts to him. I don't know how all this works now so just wondering if this is possible/probably.

Proablly 95% of all who enteredthe portal. When he had is one on one talks with them doubt if he beged them to stay.

Sark has stated publicly that if someone comes to him and is thinking about going to the portal, he tells them they should go. He wants players who are committed to the culture and if you have doubts, you aren't committed. I have no problem with this.

Agree

With that said, the Horns will be just fine without Hudson. You stay on him until the end, but it isn't a make or break, program changing thing. 

TT went all out for him.  I personally don't understand why any WR would choose Joey over Sark or TT over Texas or Lubbock over Austin.

For sure, there is no one player who is a make or break player for any good team.

Definitely not a receiver, but a QB might.

Agree with both of these. Oh to be a fly on the wall for these conversations. Sometimes we never know who initiated the departure or if it was mutual. 

We have a current commit, Moddon (sp?), who all the recruiting services are saying will not end up in this class. Why keep a kid around if you already know he's a portal candidate in a couple of months? He may decommit, but will he be "pushed out" or will be realize he has a better chance to play elsewhere?  We'll probably never know. 

We also have a handful of players who many here have thought to be recruited over and will never play a meaningful snap in their career that are still on the squad. Doesn’t sound like they are being pushed out. Sometimes, it is necessary to part ways, but I don't see Sark going back on his word with these players.

Definitely not a receiver, but a QB might. 

I could see the QB position maybe being a make or break position depending on the talent around him.

IT saying OL Nate Kibble of Humble Atascocita will be in Austin this weekend.

Hamilton added that Daniels is no longer expected to visit this weekend.

 

[TexCoyote]

Freddie is out there recruiting

OU last would be a good example.

 

[TFloss32]

This one will be fun to watch.

IT said today Texas is the clear leader, but TFB is hearing he isn't being recruited as hard as other edge prospects so A&M and OU have the lead.

If we want him we can get him. They’ll flip that switch and recruit him hard imo

 

[Austin Horn]

Waddle, Johnston, Garrett Wilson, Jackson Smith-Ngiba, Evan Stewart, and possibly Hudson. We have to stop missing on these. But we got Cook last cycle.

All the ones on that list before Hudson are easier to swallow now based on our QB situations during those lean years.  Plus, you factor in Herman (not Stewart) and Strong eras and the turmoil that followed.  I 100% agree with you there.

However, there is nothing you can do about Hudson picking TT over a Ewers/Manning led offense during his time.  That my friend is what you call an anomaly.

I agree, but you misspelled NIL in the last sentence.
