Lol

[chubbs]

Yeah I'm here for the horn meltdown.

The "well we don't want him any way" is hilarious.

literally said by some fans of every team that loses out on a recruit they got snubbed by lol

the funnier part is tech fan meltdown over the general lack of concern by most horn fans, bc everyone knows the horns will be just fine without him :lmao

[TFloss32]

Something to look back on in December.

Im hoping they forget about Ojo.
Some of the guys that went to Alabama should be pursued. We have flipped multiple 5 stars the last few years, and I’m betting we flip some this year too. Just not Ojo

^ if anyone asks what Tech is thinking that's it in a nutshell. It's not hard to figure that Tech has to overpay to get people to Lubbock.

Oh wait someone asked:

".....But, what is Tech thinking? Yes, Ojo is a great prospect, especially based on his upside. He is the NFL template for left tackle, but he’s not Kelvin Banks from a readiness standpoint—meaning, at what point will Tech start receiving a justifiable return on its considerable investment? It likely won’t be as a true freshman where Ojo will be adjusting to the college game. For all his gifts, he’s still pretty raw. Put simply, Tech is going to pay Ojo a lot of money to develop....."

When you say "ahead of the curve," are you alluding to something other than simply setting the market for the prospects that Tech/Campbell wants?

That's one aspect. Are there really no schools out there willing to match what Tech is tossing around? I mean shit, look what the Aggies paid for Jimbo. Why aren't they doing the same with players?

But it started here:

"...THE GOAL GOING into December was to spend $5 million.

That was the price tag that Cody Campbell, Texas Tech's billionaire booster and the leader of The Matador Club NIL collective, initially anticipated for the Red Raiders' transfer portal haul.....

...In late November, Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire told reporters he was bringing in approximately 10 transfers for next season. McGuire, Campbell and general manager James Blanchard had spent months preparing for the Dec. 9 start of portal season. They had an ambitious plan. And then the plan worked a little too well.......

I know Campbell and other boosters sat down with McGuire/Blanchard after last season and they discussed how to improve the roster as if money was no object, and we saw how they dominated the portal after that.

Campbell also had the foresight to understand they needed to go all-in before guardrails were put in place and they could no longer spend like sailors on leave, so it makes me wonder if the deals to Ojo and others were put in place a while ago in order to avoid any scrutiny.

With money coming from every direction and programs dealing with blurred lines of legality despite the House vs. NCAA settlement, my question going forward is who will benefit most once all of this is ironed out.

Will Tech/Campbell be able to sustain an onslaught of legitimate spending, or will teams like Alabama and Georgia go back to thriving with under-the-table negotiations?

I don't have a good answer for your question above because I'm confused like many others, but it's probably a mix of teams not being able to match Tech, they don't want to or they've yet to figure out ways to do it within their own program's limitations.

With Texas specifically, I'm not sure Sark would take a blank check approach even if he could, although I'm confident losing some of these recruitments after months and years of work is quite frustrating and they're already working on new approaches.

This reminds me quite a bit of what Freeze and Ole Miss were doing in the 2013 class by disrupting the natural order of things, but Tech is doing it legally (or at least they have so far).

It'll be fascinating to watch if they plan on consistently kicking in doors on Southeast prospects and stealing out from under the noses of Alabama and Georgia.

I think they've accepted Texas is going to hand them some tough recruiting losses now that they're in the same conference, but dealing with Tech would be a different animal.

OTF mentioned Guyton may be reclassifying to 2026.

If that's the case, Tech likely made a deal with him before the settlement and I doubt Campbell is posting about him if it's not essentially done.

I have to believe plenty of schools have the funds to match Tech. They just aren't as organized in their plan of attack. I think that's how Tech is currently ahead of the curve.

Just like Leach's offense, just give it a couple years and everyone will try it.

I would not say ahead of the curve, it’s a completely different strategy.
when Tech can do that 3 deep they are in Texas, Georgia, Ohio State territory.
The talent level all the way through is very deep on these teams.

what is interesting is being able to do this with 22 guys and not getting any injuries. or even a good quarterback, who has access to a four star first stringers. There are no excuses for Texas besides, it’s very hard to win a large tournament. You gotta get a bit lucky here too. I would also say a star QB injury can knock anybody out, just like in the pros.

[pgardn]

I would add this is why I hope Texas can get Krempin. if you can get a guy on the Oline that can play all the positions, then you don’t need to be as deep. But I think A&M realizes this as well.

IT added that they believe TE Keawe Browne putting off his commitment right after being on campus suggests Prothro's visit went better than expected despite him being low-key about it.

Texas supposedly has the highest NIL offer on the table for Prothro, and Georgia has two four-star TE commitments in this class already although they're lower-ranked.

This is a really big one imo. Our linebackers have the possibility of being really good this year. But We need an AntHill replacement. This guy fits the bill from what I’ve gathered. Im not sure if Lefau stays. Bo Barnes and Ty Anthony Smith will fill in nicely after that possibly. If Rouse is as good as some think, we have a first or second year starter quite Quickly.

"..3. Texas Longhorns
Area of concern: Offensive line

The Longhorns lost four starters on the O-line to the NFL draft and are breaking in a new quarterback, although Arch Manning made two starts last season, as well as several key receivers with the losses of Matthew Golden, Isaiah Bond and tight end Gunnar Helm. They lost tackle Kelvin Banks Jr., the 2025 No. 9 draft pick, but Trevor Goosby got some key playing time last year at the position when Banks was injured. The Longhorns also lost 56-game starter Jake Majors at center and face Ohio State in Week 1, posing a quick learning curve for an almost completely new offensive line group. -- Dave Wilson..."

Ouch. Might be a longer year for Arch than many realize.

Arch may actually help this year’s offensive line by using his mobility and not self sacking himself. This years o line will be using a new scheme which involves much less outside zone on running plays simply because the interior has the capability of runblocking. This should bring some sense of relief for anyone who watched the run blocking against really good defenses (Georgia twice and Ohio State.) The concern is how well the interior pass blocks. All of the players on the interior this year played many snaps last year so they have some experience. But Umeozulu and Cole Hutson, replacements for Conner and Majors respectively, were clearly stronger, better run blockers but did not start (barring injuries to starters) because they did not pass block as well. Interior pass blocking is key imo. Also the loss of Majors in calling or pointing out blocking patterns will be missed.


If Cedric Baxter returns later in the season along with a new scheme of run blocking that fits the aforementioned players, we might actually be able to run the ball in on goal line situations ((Arch as an option, aides red zone touchdowns most likely as well) We might even be really good at it with Baxter.

I am getting the sense we might be really good at OT this year despite the experience and depth.. Stay healthy.

He currently has Oklahoma as the favorite, but sounds like Texas is rising quickly.

Lots of experimentation on defense posted by Floss.

Spence to edge? I guess this puts Trey Moore “back” to LB?
We seem to have almost too many bodies between LB and edge. And they are predicting Ant Hill as an edge in the pros…
Mind blowing how much talent we have and what we have waiting. If the 26 class works out the stacking gets larger. If Vasek can get healthy… yikes. He has a good bit of eligibility left.

Taaffe at star? Jeez. Even mentioning this seems to indicate Derek Williams is healthy and they trust Jelani McDonald at S as well. If our D tackles turn out to be good this should be a defense that can do about anything. Definitely as good as last year on paper if the DTs play well.
