Of the known names, Brunner from Wisconsin unless I'm missing someone.

No word yet when/where his visits will be.

At this rate they need at least 4 OL, at least 2 LBs, and at least 1 RB. I think they have the talent at WR. Wingo Mosely and Locket are the main 3 with McCutcheon and Ffrench and Fr Bishop getting time (I think Bishop will be hard to keep off the field).

From everything I've read, Texas has had the best offer on several guys and they're just not closing.

IT has hinted that the process itself has question marks, namely coaches Sark has decided to retain like Flood and Nansen.

I think a big issue too is what portal players' real interest is in other schools, as opposed to using teams like Texas as leverage while knowing they don't plan on leaving their current school.

I know has missed out on some key portal players but im withholding judgment because it's not like they don't have other players they're looking at but probably just not mentioned yet. Plus we can't tell if it was good offseason or not until they start playing games next year. Of course I want them to get the top targets but also want the right fit as well

More on this...and for those who don't speak TexAgs, you can tell they believe Coleman to Texas is happening soon.

Looch mentioned Sark is taking so many recruiting losses that he found more money to finalize Coleman.

Brauniger also acknowledged Texas leads, and said he has some personal stuff to attend to later in the day (i.e. I don't want be online if Coleman picks Texas).

IT added that Coleman should be making a decision before the weekend is over, and everything Texas is offering (including playing with Manning) continues to be appealing.

They said nobody in Austin is celebrating yet, and their take on the Looch and TexAgs posts is it's a "rallying cry" of sorts knowing Texas is leading.

- Las Brisas looks like a strip club, Blake. Y'all aren't fooling anyone.

- Tech already took three WRs as well, but no way in hell Campbell is saying no if Coleman wants in after spending $5 mil (supposedly) on Sorsby.

- I think Texas needs a dude at LB, a safety and another DE. Not as concerned there as I am about OL, especially with Muschamp back.

I personally view the portal as a blight on college football. I've done the "grass is greener" elsewhere thing in the past with my employment with mixed results. I wonder how many of these guys will regret entering the portal and playing for a lesser team (and they're all lesser teams), or a team with a different culture. Granted, some may not have had a choice and were forced out. I think it also lessens the fan experience as we're now reduced to rooting for "rent-a-players" who rotate out every year and don't have any real allegiance to UT. From a team chemistry / culture perspective, how much turnover can the team sustain before it becomes a cancer that you can't control? If the guy I've been playing next to and formed a bond with leaves (or is forced out), how motivated am I to stick around?

I'm sure there are a number of guys that have regrets once they transfer, especially in basketball.... but I think all in all, if you're on the bench at one school and another offers you playing time, why wouldn't you take it? I'm not sure Beuchele is in the pros today if he stayed at UT.

I should add that the more you read about Texas' plan for the OL, the more it becomes apparent that the idea is having Brandon Baker slide inside to RG for 2026.

Something to keep in mind as we all follow along and wonder how the new pieces will fit.

The good news on Melvin Siani is he has two years of eligibility should Texas land him, so he could be viewed as not only really good depth but the potential starter at LT for 2027.
