Having a conversation with yourself.....I've done it.  Just don't get into a board argument with yourself...people will think you're crazy.

Not a commitment, but OrangeBloods saying this one looks good.

I'm kind of thinking that if you get into a board argument with yourself that it will confirm you're crazy

Looks like DES ( edges ) and DTS could lose 5 playersand still be fine atdepth.

if we only play with 2 LBs, can probably lose a couple of there too.

NTG are you counting Blackwell as a DB or LB?

IT also feeling good about UCLA transfer LB Caleb Johnson.

Was told he's already in the bag. He's the second of three, the third being Oshaun.

Quick update on recruiting numbers as I understand it. 

Currently have taken 33 players in the 2022 cycle putting us at the maximum limit. For every player we take now that is in the 2022 class, there has to be a player from the 2022 class that doesn't enroll until January 2023. 

We also stand at 90 players on scholarship and you have to be at 85 come August. That means that five players must be told to move on. Six, if we get Mathis. 

 

I believe these numbers. I was wondering how we could get to the 35 or 36 that Sark talked about.  I guess the answer involves telling a few incoming players that they have to do without a scholarship next year. Assuming they didn't know about this when they committed to Texas this seems messed up.

Blackwell is listed as a LB.

And, just to clarify, these are not my numbers. This is the scholarship board from Orangebloods.

The way I'm reading it is that a player or two would not be able to enroll until January. I have seen the long snapper mentioned by name as a possibility and there is some speculation that the player has been told this. But that is not confirmed.

We haven’t seen the last of our portal exits. I’m relatively sure during the post season evaluation some were told they needed to find a new home and others were told their spot wasn’t guaranteed. The numbers will get right and at the expense of current players not the new ones.

It is an absolute certainty that at least 5 current players have been or will be told they need to find a new home. And it may be 6 or 7.

I would doubt on us keeping all 4 QBs on scholarships. At least 1 cornbacker will be gone.  Doubtful on Warren,DL (yes he is on scholarship  still) being here after spring ball. Then you have both Hookfin and Liebrock as possible medical scholarships. That's 5. Plus those that we won't  know until after Saturday.  That could be another 1-5 that aren't freshmen.  This did help some of you? 

The sad thing, @eastexhorn, no feathers moved you aren't even close to the the idiots that i deal with that are BMDs for multiple collages,  but if Hookfin is done than just look at our 2019 class, 4OT and only 1 barely played, that's the issue. 4 OTs taken, only 1 barely played,  offered 13 OTs, 4 Guards, and 2 Centers. Comparing that to wrs and athletes taking 5.  How did Tyler  Johnson,  Willie Tyler,  J. Shepherd, and Hookfin compared to Bru McCoy, Jordan Whittington, Jake Smith, K. Lewis, and Marcus Washington play out.

4 OL to 5 wrs with maybe 1 wr for the win?

"At least 1 cornbacker will be gone." Got no use for a Nebraska fan anyway.

Maybe I'm missing something,  but it sounds like the plan is to take 36, if so and 33 is the limit of new scholarships for the fall , then 3 of the new players are going to be without a scholarship. 

If a player doesn't enrol until January then he doesn't count against 2022 limit, but also can't be part of the 2022 team, so not sure what the point would be.  Maybe they can somehow use some NIL magic to make it work.

Hmmm.  This makes it interesting and on its face sounds like a great addition, but without a prior connection, would take a bird in hand with the other LB

The snippet said Texas is one of several schools that reached out early, and USC is the frontrunner right now.
