IT had a portal write-up yesterday and had this to say about Texas' WR needs.

Wide Receiver

Texas has talent but not much experience to go with the looming question of Isaiah Neyor’s health. The position is clearly important to helping make Sark’s preferred offense go, meaning he can’t leave anything to chance.

There’s a lot of talk Xavier Worthy might explore his options, specifically with USC. Even if you don’t have inside info, you should understand that’s a possibility given his flirtations last year, the fact he’s from California, USC’s quarterback situation, and the “cap space” they’ll have with Jordan Addison’s departure.

Needs: At least one, probably two

I understand Texas has been contacted by numerous players over the season so far. Should be interesting to see who we end up with.

Going to be really interesting to see what happens at WR. 

After Worth and Whittington, the rest of the WR's have combined for 16 catches this year. And no one has more than 5.

there was statement on Twitter attributed to Sark where he said, he wasn't going to get involved with any current players if they choose the transfer portal but if they had one foot in the portal , they might as well put the other foot in too and move on....

Also IT is saying Horns need 4-5 starters from portal.

Burton said they need to net 4-5 starters but could take as many as 7 transfers.

[Baron]

So, I'm wondering, after reading what Bobby Burton said about the portal, is the portal opening going to become a new national signing day? Will it take away from P5 recruiting and make G5 schools more like a farm system?

[Sirhornsalot]

I think last year some 37% of the players who entered the portal ended up with nothing.

I would be willing to bet that most of that 37% was P5 players who couldn't beat out the starter.

That stat will probably encourage players to seek out a landing spot before they enter the portal. Rules about tampering need to be clear. If a player contacts another school before entering the portal, is that considered tampering?

[Eastexhorn]

Most of he big stars have a spot in hand before entering.

He actually said this during an interview, I saw it on the LHN.

247 saying Worthy’s camp denies he’s leaving.

If I remember correctly, a player could always contact schools they were interested in transferring to, but coaches from the school couldn't contact the  player. This is before the portal...idk if portal changed this

Before NIL teams talked to “uncle Billy” who wanted a cut. When bag money isn’t involved it’s HS coaches who are the pipeline.

Yet he says he can't leave

[longhorn_mig]

And unfortunately, that could be interpreted as the USC hand sign.
