OTF wrote that Stanford DE David Bailey could make his decision at any moment.

They're hearing UCLA is out, and it's down to Tech vs. Texas.

Tech supposedly has confidence, and that's not a surprise based on their portal efforts this offseason.

My fault, forgot to come back to this.

I think it's most important to emphasize Sark is taking a "best players available" approach, and not just positional needs, as long as the NIL allocation makes sense.

As far as top-tier needs:

• WR - I'm definitely on the Livingstone hype train, but would like to see a 1B to Wingo's 1A. Stanford's second leading WR Emmett Mosley, who also led the ACC in freshman receiving, just entered the portal but not sure he'll have the experience Sark covets a la Bolden, Bond and Golden last year. Mosley held a Texas offer in high school.

• TE - Even before Washington got hurt last week, the staff was planning to address this and IT mentioned recently they're confident the staff has it covered already.

• RB - I'd feel more confident here if Baxter and Clark weren't coming off of major injuries, and anxious to see if Coach Scott tries to take advantage of his close relationship with Jahiem White from West Virginia as he's run for 800+ yards in the past two seasons.

• LB - I was thinking the staff could go shopping here, but moving Moore over from DE seems to make that much less likely.

• DT - Coach Baker did quite well in the winter portal imo, but I'd like to see them add one more guy even if it's for depth with the seasons getting longer.

Not sure how I forgot about kicker.

Coach Banks was after this guy at one time.

Grandpa wants him in Austin until '27

Correct, he'll declare for '27 Draft.

All for it if you have the cash.

We'll see if McGuire can put it all together.
