OrangeBloods saying Texas was too late with their offer to CB Calvin Simpson-Hunt of Waxahachie.

He told the staff, and OU's staff, no thanks.

So he wants to be a tortilla flipper? Looks like Tceh might have their best recruiting class ever.

Whoa!!!   I just read where Floss reported that the NCAA is moving toward removing scholarship limits??? The last time that happened we ran off a 30 game win streak. Are we the richest School or not?

Had a great coach who could create an offence and also have a pretty good defence.

IT saying the staff will want to get DE/LB Tausili Akana on campus at some point this summer for an official visit.

He wants to make a decision before his senior year, and his sister should be moving to Austin in June.

It won't matter. You won't be able to talk a bunch of good players into standing in line behind 3 others. They'll go where they can play. The DKR days are a thing of the past. Back then, it wasn't a me-me-me environment.

Many kids are confident they can beat the competition. Seems like more players would result in a better team. You would get more guys transferring after not getting enough playing time, but that doesn't seem like a big problem. 

[Eastexhorn]

One could take some players with potiential and possibly develop them.

Maybe have freshmen teamlus a few who needmore coaching.

A rule no transfers till two yeats would help.

They all played under DKR. He didn't have that mamby pamby idea that Mack did about not humiliating the opponent. He would try for a TD on every possession. After the first 4 scores the second string would come in and after they scored a few times, here came team 3....

They had to revise how they awarded letters because none of the first string played enough minutes to get a letter.

I never forgave Mack for not being a heartless bastard.

This is not related to football, it is related to equivalency sports (sports with a set number of scholarhips regardless of players). Football is a head count sport, meaning 85 athletes can be on scholarship and that scholarship can be 100%. D1 baseball for example can give out only 11.7 scholarships, divided amongst the players on the team.

To your point though, we can flex our riches by giving full rides to all student athletes in all sports. 35 full scholarship baseball players will be an advantage over other schools who can't afford to do the same, for example.

SHA you might need to get on tide fans and share that information. Somehow the kids who keep committing to Alabama didn’t get the memo.

Thats with an 85 limit. So it wouldn't be relative.

Um… let’s not go straight communist here. I’m sure we can find other areas in the football program to spend the money. 
I think I read somewhere that 18 college World Series championships is the equivalent of 100 swimming national championships, 55 Volleyball Nattys, 36 NCAAWB’s, 3 NCAAM championships, 818 “other” national championships (whatever others is) and a share of the Conference title in a power 5 football program. 

I’m not saying I agree but that’s what I read somewhere, I think.

If they do what there doing with a limit in place don’t you think they would get more without one? I mean you basically described their current depth chart. I heard any player on the team that wasn’t a five star recruit or the #1 rated player or position  in their State coming out of HS wasn’t allowed to have that cool white stripe on their helmet. 

There may be some players I can’t see but that’s a whole bunch with the stripe.
Not arguing, just saying.

But they do transfer.  Alabama lose a lot to the portal each year. Saban tells they ain’t gonna play, they leave, and he brings in a new crop.

Keilan Robinson. From Alabama. Struggles to get touches here. 

I don't think that stripe means what you think it does.
