I will be interested to see how many of the blue chip D Lineman agg signed in 2022 hit the portal at the end of next season. That might factor in to Hicks’ decision. 

 
I don't think that is what he's saying.  He's saying the Aggies got wondering eyes and ignored him for a while and if they came back now he wouldn't even talk.  
Yeah, i read that again and realized I interpreted that wrong.  Doesn't matter because aggy still sucks.

 
I hope we land him but IMHO Niblett fills the same role as Pettaway and he will be the better receiver. 
Niblett is just as fast but is more elusive. 
He was a QB his Sophomore year and caught 9 passes as a Junior (Eisenhower can’t pass the football). He’s rated the 12th best in the country with 9 career receptions. Once Coach Marion starts working with him the sky will be the limit. 
Agree. Why duplicate? My only answer there is – the more speed the better. AND, if we take him, then OU does not. he he

IMO, Pettaway has got to be noticing the lack of momentum north of the Red and the complete recruiting house party going on in Austin. To this past weekend, he was a heavy OU lean. I wonder if that's changed

 
I havent heard much Pettaway. Hes keeping things close to his vest
He had a very quiet visit to Austin recently. Some were concerned about it. Didn't say much to anyone else. He did say he visited one-on-one with Sark and Marion and he enjoyed that. 

If he chooses Texas, I will be completely fooled. He would immediately be a top dog in OU's class. 

I think we're going to see a completely different OU next year. I just don't see Venebles keeping things like they've been. They'l be a better defensive team, but I question that offense of theirs. It will still be a scrap in Dallas, but I think we start winning most of those ahead.

Yeah im with you on that one. Ill eat crow if he chooses Texas

 
You're probably right about Pettaway. The Hicks story hasn't been written yet.
For some reason I have a good feeling about Hicks to UT.  ATM got a great DL class last year and UT needs some infusion of young talent. Hicks has a better path to significant early playing time/reps, imo.  Not saying he wouldn't beat out some the guys from atm, but the path at UT is not as cluttered.

Good points here

...and Texas has the momentum this year. The team of the future.

We need to remember, aggy was in this position last year albeit from a spending spree. 

Their recruiting last year set records. I expect they'll be a salty team in a year or two if they stay together, as much as I hate to say that.

Because of our riches at QB, we'll have the advantage when we play them.

Wondering about that spending spree from Ags. Was it legal ? Did they beat the rest of us to the punch ? Supposedly that class was one of the best in history. And will they break out the money again for Hiill, Hicks etc …?

I hope we can duplicate, especially with ultra fast receivers. 
Back when they were winning State Championships almost yearly Ennis HS football had a slogan “You either have speed or your chasing it”. 
In each recruiting class since Sark arrived we have dramatically increased our speed.
