Wasn't there post on the " non recruiting" thread that mentioned we had the big money donors working on the NIL and we would all be pleased? I guess we're still also waiting on the announcement that was due during ou weekend about our sec sec move. Its all been yadda yadda with no movement.

Mike is right. If we continue to lean on "We're Texas" and thats it, then we'll never compete. We're going to have to be F-350 friendly now and in the future.

Agree. We already have an Evan and I'm not sure he's a better option anyway. There are still several oars in the water with prospects we'll love. Just not the 5-star Evan was/is.
I go back to quitting (or getting booted, whichever it was) his team. Isn't that the type we're trying to avoid anyway?

It has been virtually the same for a decade in several areas. How many times have we heard: "we are about to hire the most exciting OC, DC, HC or seen the eyeballs, Horns Up, or whatever emoji to represent the next great recruit about to commit. The NIL and SEC announcements are the same empty promises. Until some of these promises actually begin to materialize, we will continue to lag behind.
Treveyon Henderson from OSU skipped his senior season. Ran pretty well this year.

I am sure bag men exist but why isnt there any proof of it. I mean come on you pay a kid 100k, coach bitches the kid out a year later, like Moore, then why wouldnt he just spill the beans on the school as he hits the portal. Doesnt make any sense to me. Wouldnt the recruit hold massive leverage over the school afterwards? Better play me when I want coach or else.
Sometimes I wonder if we all just use this as an excuse for not having the #3 class in the given year to make us feel better about losing this recruit or that one. Maybe a 5-7 season and losing to Kansas has something to do with it.
I do realize it does happen. My father in law is a booster for Bama, not necessarily a BMD but he has seen them get paid there even years ago. We pretend we are above that and maybe we are but do you guys really think that doesnt happen here? I have my doubts. So some teenager turns away big money to play for a 5-7 team whose coach is constantly on the hotseat?

But wouldnt have to be announced publicly? So we should be seeing Stewart announcing a 100k deal after signing?

I hope so as well, and I don't know his reasoning. However I have a hard time believing guys who bail on the team sport that created them will be great team players.
If they quit on their high school team they have a pretty good chance of quitting their college team. We shouldn't be at all surprised if they turn out to be the kind of guys who memorize 10 different endzone celebrations but refuse to dive in front of blizting LBs to protect their QB due to "career decisions".
Honestly, would rather pass.

Texas better start playing the SEC way or this rebuild will be stuck in the mud forever.

Whittington's stats for his Fr year (2020): 21 rec for 206 yards, 0 TDs, 5 games
Whittington's stats for his So year (2021): 26 rec for 377 yards, 3 TDs, 8 games
Whittington has better stats based on number of games played

This conversation was brought up regarding Evan Stewart and comparing Dumas's production to Texas WR. He brought up Whitt to divert from the lackluster performance from the former 5 star Dumas. I brought up Worthy. Its not even close when you compare Worthy with Dumas.

I knew that. Dumb aggy (yea, I know it's redundant) doesn't even know that Dumas isn't even their leading receiver (a TE is) and there is another WR (#0 Smith) who has better stats than Dumas. BTW, Texas threw for a total of 2705 yards (29 TDs, 10 INTs), aggy threw for 2503 yards (19 TDs, 13 INTs) both in 12 games.
