I'm not doom and glooming it but it's worth noting that all these to players being skimmed makes it much more likely that we aren't getting option A, B or C as everyone else is after the same guys trying to fill needs after a few teams take everyone off the top.

Never seen anything this wild. At this point I think it less likely we'll run out of money and more likely we run out of portal players to offer it to.

I think Trick is first big time miss for staff, obviously fans may feel different. When his visit moved from today to tomorrow there was some concern but all communications had been really good with his team at that point and they were in on him very early.

Mateen was not a surprise as him getting to campus was always in doubt. They felt if he made it here they had great chance.

If they miss White he would fall in same category as Trick. Hope was White would be done deal and announced tonight. Longer it goes the more concern the staff is feeling.

There’s close to 5000 players in the portal. Well come players, just maybe not the first options

He was probably our backup plan if Ty and Joey fell thru.

He committed to Nebraska, which tells me our staff feels confident about something.



Only assuming. Am I right @99vawl ?

Does the 2 DL commits to Tech tell you our staff feels confident about something?

It tells me it’s the same ole strategy, even with top targets it’s we’ll get you here on campus sometime and evaluate how you fit in with the culture and if we feel like you’re what we want we’ll discuss money.

Meanwhile 3/4 will sign somewhere else because they are telling them we want you , have pen and paperwork ready , let’s talk $$$. And won’t make to UT at all.

We're well past first second and third options at positions of immediate need.

And so is everyone else, that's my point.

We'll get bodies, but it is highly likely some, if not many of them won't be better than what we lost. Not to mention we will likely have to overpay them.

I'm not down on our staff, just down on the situation we're all in.
