5-star wideout Jamie Frrench entered the portal today. He was outspoken last year about signing with Texas because they gave him a Lambo.

Of the 3 freshman WR from last year, he was behind McCutcheon and Lockett. We're looking for 2 WR in the portal, so this kinda makes sense.

Maybe Sark thinks he is overrated, or else Sark made a bunch of promises he couldn’t keep. But the volume of portal entries is eye-opening.

Seems like something’s up.

Texas processed a 5-star freshman who they just gave a Lambo to?

Something's definitely going on with Texas and a bunch of portal whiffs the last few weeks.

I don't even know if he got one, and if he did, it was a lease.

And yeah, Ffrench couldn't even get on the field in our bowl game when we were missing our top 4 WRs, why re-sign him to another big deal when he isn't panning out?

They aren't pushing for retention on most players unless they will see the field or are vital backups. Money is better spent on players that will see the field.

This started halfway through 2025 in recruiting. They attacked very high value blue chips for a few positions and then got some lower P4 guys that were committed to teams like Minnesota to fill out the class. They plan on developing those lower level kids at a lower NIL value and if they transfer out they aren't out as much money.

They only really whiffed on that LB that committed to tOSU today. Every other guy that was high on their board returned to the school they were transferring from.

Yeah, can you imagine having your best coach bail on you for that guy?!

Seems like those 4 WRs didn’t give a shite about the bowl game… seems likely this guy already had a foot out the door

I can get that position, in theory.

But the players that have hit the portal leaving the program don’t all fall into that characterization.

Who would that be? Zina is the only one that comes to mind. Bo Barnes is still trying to be retained.

Found out Lambo's are actually uncomfortable.

i know they're njust kids etc etc but why would you want a lambo rather than a new civic and 250k cash?
