This is a game they are playing. Nothing would make aggy more pissed then him to go to Texas. Announce Texas is in contact get more money from aggy to stay....Elko apparently is still trying to get him to return and would allow it.. Elko is a dead man walking already.. Terrible culture already.... SO aggy.

And I'm loving every minute of it. I hope they fall even more into relative obscurity. Then they can blame Texas again for always ruining their life. They will always be the Jan Brady. "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha"

So they're middle sister instead of little sister. I like it.

Every hire Elko has made has been mediocre. Imagine if Sark had hired that same staff. I'd throw on the towel and be done. And them clowns would be laughing about it, but make no mistake, Looch and the mass are pumping these hires up as big time gets.

He's hiring his old coaches from Duke. Sort of like Strong and Herman did. Sark brought some with him but they were from Alabama. Houston, Louisville and Duke are a bit different. The aggy BMDs must have had some budget issues after all after paying out the money for the coaching buyouts.

If they would buy in to the Texas culture, it would be cool to go into College Station next year with Nolan, Overton at DL, Stewart at WR, and Bryce Anderson at S. Just saying.

I know it's not Apples to Apples here, but it just looks funny to read University Of Texas at San Antonio credits won't transfer to University Of Texas at Austin

Really interesting considering that relationship. It was also mentioned that he had numerous Ivy league offers coming out of HS, so I would imagine his course work is up to par.

Surprised he didn't just go to the draft.

Let me just say this…I 100% disagree with Sark letting our guys who enter the portal play in the playoffs.
You are committed to the teams success until the end of the season or hit the freaking door!
Some may disagree but if you are thinking about your own future instead of focusing on your team winning a National Championship then you are completely selfish individual and a cancer to our goal.

I get this sentiment. But all of the players entering have been bought into the culture and practicing/playing hard. They just didn't develop as much as we would've liked. Therefore, Sark is telling them their scholarship won't be renewed. They can finish the season and at least be in the portal in time to transfer to a school for spring semester. If they waited until after the year then they'd miss the portal.

The hires may not be about money. It could be comfort level,or he just may not be able to convince the best up and coming coaches that it would be the best option for them.

No matter what the reason, itlf they are as meh as it seems then Elko's chances of success are not good.

That’s asking for trouble if they can’t buy in.

Texas WR Casey Cain has entered the portal.

That's not surprising.

Man, Florida is getting hit big time.

I'm hearing Texas was ready to close the deal with Trey Moore from the portal, but hit a snag with his transcript. His grades are fine, but some of the credits he has won't transfer to Texas. This will push back his graduation.

Stay tuned.
