re: Starting Texas CB and Former 5 Star Brooksto Hit Portal
Posted by BillF on 4/24/24 at 4:28 am
So now SEC players are "discouraged" from transferring to Texas or Oklahoma during this Spring portal period?
Unless there is a specific clause in the contract that specifically addresses this Spring portal (and it appears there isn't), any player challenging it would win....

I don't think that will happen, but Cousin Eddie didn't make it even two full years after his football championship.
I think most rational people expected a regression from last year's team, but I don't...

Thanks. I wasn't aware of that.
The article has some strange language. The players from Texas and Oklahoma are "prohibited" from transferring to SEC schools, while SEC players are "disincentiveised" from transferring to Texas or Oklahoma. Very odd....
re: Texas insider reporting LSU is in talks with UT DL Zac Swanson
Posted by BillF on 4/23/24 at 4:37 pm
It really doesn't have anything to do with what Trxas and Oklahoma are doing. If they are not accepting SEC transfers for immediate eligibility this season, that's simply their choice, but they're not obligated to follow the SEC rule until they're actually a member of the conference.
Now, I suppo...

If Texas doesn't join the SEC until July 1st, there is no rule that would prevent him from transferring to an SEC school and being immediately eligible. He's in the same boat as the defensive tackle we're pursuing from TCU. They're both transferring from Big 12 schools....

The game that seems odd to not be on the schedule is Mississippi State. We've played them more than anyone. State has only played Ole Miss three more times than they've played us....

Posted by BillF on 4/21/24 at 11:33 am
As I understand it, we actually have NO permanent opponents as of now. Nor does anyone else. That won't be decided until the future, once they decide on the eight- or nine-game SEC schedule. We play the same SEC teams in 2025 that we play in 2024, but the home & away locations are flipped.
I cert...

re: Down to 83 Scholarship Players
Posted by BillF on 4/19/24 at 12:38 pm
If that were possible, every team would have multiple "walk ons" whose tuition, etc was paid for by NIL. If you're recruiting a guy, he's going to count against the 85.
It's different in baseball, because there are limited scholarships, so schools are allowed (pretty much forced) to divide the sc...

re: NCAA about to change transfer rules
Posted by BillF on 4/17/24 at 4:14 pm
I agree that the NCAA is going to take the path of least resistance and allow unlimited transfers, with immediate eligibility. They know they're going to lose the lawsuit. Courts don't like to restrict movement, especially when it is tied to college students deciding where they wish to pursue an edu...

re: Logan Diggs - not really talked about on the board
Posted by BillF on 4/17/24 at 2:15 pm
I agree with your assessment of our running back rotation. It doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason. Like most everything in college football now, I imagine it's oftentimes affected by NIL and the portal - pay up and give them more carries or they transfer.
Find a couple who are producing and ...

I wasn't aware the Globetrotters had women on the roster. In fact, I didn't even know the team was still around. With tickets starting at $35, I doubt there will be a big crowd to see players not named Meadowlark Lemon or Curley Neal....
