Well, that's unfortunate.

Very. 1 of the most important recruits left imo. DL is taking a huge hit next year. We must stack top talent there no matter what. Going to have to stay on him until the end. Hopefully Texas drops a few this year. Up the bag.

Although I will say with this kid, I’m starting to think he’s not worth the time and resources. When Texas loses a couple more games- OU and Ga, let him see what’s cooking where everyone is hyping the U for the next 3 months. Maybe go all out for the Pitt commit and the kid out of Houston. Or grab a kid from the portal.

Seem like he’s just like cooper “needing to see more” while Texas struggles on offense with arch

I'd be full throttle on Logan Nagle and one of the recent dt offers honestly.

There some high upside in their recent dt offers.

If u can get the price of 2 for the cost of Johnson id go that route....even though i think hes a good player.

We need numbers at DT regardless. But we need at least 1 top DT recruit this cycle, period. 1 top EDGE too at least. But yeah we should definitely take 4 DTs at least.

I'm portaling a dt with the sr reps were losing to pair with Justin Scott.

3 HS DTS would be good for me. 4 if cheap.

I expect some edges to pop we should be all over those ucla ones to go along with the flips were trying with. We may can get a splash portal guy at edge too....since we wont be spending in the secondary

Agree with this. But keep chipping away too. We missed some flips last go around but we got Lowe and the previous cycle Scott and Lightfoot late. We’ll get a couple of we keep playing well.

Yet another blue chip DT who is very much into the allure of recruitment. It’s such a hard position to project, and blue chips are vital, but I gotta say this does start to feel like a limiting factor. How many of these big dudes that play games then get to college and buy into the sacrifice the position requires while also continuing to develop physically?

Agree. Much of the interior trenches are difficult to project because kids are either willing to learn to deal with pain every play or they are not. When I first learned about the violence with the hand fighting at this level, I was surprised to say the least. It definitely takes getting used to.

I’ve repeatedly stated we need 1, maybe 2 vet DTs this upcoming portal. Talk to me about the Desir twins? One seems like a budding 3T.

as far as just seeing kids in person those two twins appeared to be some of the best dl from a looks wise ive seen as hs srs (pause)

They probably are long term starters at fsu....for whatever reason we didnt go hard for em in hs i dont think we would try to get them in portal because they were there for the take and we were lukewarm...and there is now ay you visited norland saw them and said...nah.

One is better than the other but their upside is high imo...i always thought one of em could play here the other one even is flashing already so ...but im thinking they didnt want to deal with coach mo there from the shemar fiasco

Hurts. Would feel much better about our depth if they were on our team and off the enemies.
