2023 Portal Recruiting (CLOSED)

[NEOkHorn]

There will be another window in April. Can never say never nowadays.

In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if this development leads to someone portaging out during the next window. Could still be some roster churning ahead.

Love how Sark is using the portal...immediate impact players only need apply. The portal doesn't offer many of those guys, but Sark knows what to do when they become available.

Evan Stewart, the train has left the station and you missed it, bro! Good luck with BobbyMFPetrino. Welcome home, AD. 

He’s not transferring, I don’t think.  But if he did, we would take him, I do think.

It's been two days since AM committed. How come no one has sent me my $9.95???

Well, let's see.. Did you tell us that he was interested, but that there were other schools in the running? Then did you say he had Texas ties and get us all excited? After that did you tell us that there were 2 or 3 other schools pushing hard? Also did you put in a prediction to Texas with a strong 55 percent confidence? And then  once he signed, did you tell us that you broke the news and were all over it from the beginning and that you were 100 percent confident, but couldn't say because you promised his Mom that you wouldn't reveal it ahead of time? If you want my $9.95, that's the kind of thrill ride you need to take me on my friend. I pay for the excitement, not the accuracy. Lol.

Good call Old Horn. Glad to have AM on board.

Yep AM is a great pickup. I am stoked for next year. 
We got plenty of badass receivers, should be improved Oline, QE will have more experience, Baxter coming in to beef up RB’s.

There will be pressure on Sark to produce. It will be his third year. We will still have to deal with the shitty refs, but really there is no excuse not to win the Big 12 and contend for the playoffs.

I'm going to go ahead and say it here.  While I'm stoked that AM is with Texas now, but there had to have been some sort of tampering with this one.  Like Addison with USC.

I'm not saying I dislike it because Texas is just playing the game with others.  However, I will not bitch and moan when the rumors fly about Worthy and Barron again about tampering.

Haha.  I don't think or believe anyone on the Texas staff tampered, but all the smoke before hand leads me to believe someone did (booster or alumni).  Just saying.

Because you didn't add your venmo ID?

It’s time for Sark and team to win 10+ games.

Yep, it’s time!

Replace your departures via the portal with high school recruits, the value is about the same and the upside is better. Sark is using the portal exactly as you should when you have talent on the roster.

 

[Baron]

Full attention?

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist

LMAO! I could say more but I won't.

What's your address? I'll send you a check.

Sadly, I think you are right.

Absolutely!

agree....and, we are likely to see some receivers enter the portal after May evaluations. 

I havent said this in a long, LONG time but, IMO, Texas is doing an excellent job recruiting and then filling depth chart needs with transfers.

After the 2023 class signed, identified needs have been addressed. Whether they go after DE/DL might depend on overall numbers. by my count they may have to encourage a couple of schollie players to explore options.

WR (1) - 4*/92 Adonai Mitchell (Georgia)
DE (1) - *SDE is a significant need*
DT (1) - *Could use additional upperclassman*
CB (1) - 4*/91 Gavin Holmes (Wake Forest)
S (1) - 4*/90 Jalen Catalon (Arkansas)
P (1) - 3*/84 Ryan Sanborn (Stanford)
