Would we take him if he wanted to come? At the expense of possible OL or LB help?

Absolutely. Winning a game 65-60 has the same result as winning 10-9.

So if we don't get Addison, the #1 ranked player and #1 WR, do we go after the #2 ranked player and #2 WR on that list? Seems like I've heard of the guy before, Bru McCoy ?

Hard to really support college football near as much as I used to.  Before, I had a common bond with a UT football player as we both fell in love with UT and wanted to be a part of of it.  
 

Now you don’t know if a player loves UT the way you do (or did) or is it all because of a paycheck?  College teams won’t earn a NC anymore.  It will simply go to the highest bidder.

 Like the NFL,NBA, and MLB, I’m pretty much done with it.

More time to hunt and fish.

Agree, but this is about way more than Saban. The NCAA should have been given the power to do something about it. But they really don't. Thats a different story though.

Riley has already shown how this gets ugly. He's recruiting other teams' players. Unethical is a nice way of putting it. I've heard Saban has done some of that, too.

But this is utter chaos. No rules. No enforcement. Dog and pony show. Start carving the headstone now.

It definitely needs major changes overall, but I just find it funny when specific coaches get upset about things they've been taking advantage of for a long time.

I agree that it definitely needs some parameters around it but put the money into the hands that make it.

I take satisfaction anytime Saban is upset. lol

But you're also putting money into the hands that don't make it. Imagine the OL has a 100K "salary" from UT.

Tyler Johnson would have left with $400K and achieved absolutely nothing and helped UT in no way, other than being a tackling dummy.

Ha ha, 65-60 and listen to this board for a week saying WTH is wrong with this defense?

10-9, "we better find an offense soon!" lol

 

[Eastexhorn]

Also money to the agents.

I think Sark would have to, but I haven't seen anything yet other than that one article saying Texas will be in it.

Texas may be trying to pursue quietly since USC has been accused of tampering.

Hey TFloss,

There  was a poster on the Orangebloods free board showing a Twitter post, but I don't know if it's a trusted source as it has been since deleted. The person was suppose to be a NCAA insider,  but I'm not certain. This person claimed that Red has a NIL deal north of $5M for Addison to come to Texas. Don't  want to repost as not certain of the person and with the post being deleted shortly after being posted. 

That's more than any F350 I know of.  I`ll if I can get the name of the person that 1st posted it and let you know.

If that's true, where was Red when we really needed Mathis?
