A lot of these transfers don't pan out. There's a 100 guys for every Jermaine Johnson or Kenneth Walker. I think Purdy from FSU would be a good get for UT but he may be damaged goods getting coached up (see down) by Norvell and Dillingham. Plus they're only temp fixes unless you want to be out here getting your Bill Snyder on every off season.

There are particular transfers the staff is focused on. Plenty of tampering is going to happen in the era of the transfer portal. But we are in dire need of a QB, WR, OT and anything we can get on defense.

What about that Troy O dude that suffered season-ending injuries in each of the last 2 fall camps? Seeing how this season has panned out, I no longer buy the hype he had in fall 2020 camp seeing as we were all :meh: about him win he flipped Texas from A&M.

I didn't mention him for a reason. Not sure he will ever play a meaningful down here.

Only Worthy, but he may be considered a recruit, and there is some trepidation there, we need to keep him happy. I expect more transfers on offense though. A QB, some OL and WRs. I think the offense will attract talent and honestly it wouldn't take much.

I think everyone else was along the DL/LB and yeah all of them have been a disappointment thus far. We are going to have to hope most of these guys are better in Year 2 of the scheme or they are playing in a new scheme altogether. Really hate Muschamp got overruled by his wife.

I hope they find out who leaked it and show them the door. :camby:

But Bo is right. All of their candy asses can transfer. DL will likely feature plenty of underclassmen next year. In fact no one outside of Bijan and Worthy should be penciled in as starters next year. Everyone should be competing for playing time.

I can't take this program seriously if they don't start playing the game immediately. Bags need to be dropped, NIL needs to be unleashed to get this staff the caliber of player they need to succeed. We're not good enough on any level to attract those players without playing the game.

Not enough big money people care. NIL has been a shyt show. Plonsky has put the fear of God in the staff when it comes to NIL to the point they want nothing to do with it. I know people that have personally inquired about which players need to be taken care of through NIL and the staff was :hubie:. T. Cooks is basically transferring because he was offered an NIL deal through another school if he portaled there.

Sadly I don't think people will start caring until we start playing A&M again and they potentially start beating us consistently. How a school like Texas can't get a system in place like Bama, Clemson, and A&M makes no sense to me. Alot of the old money just needs to get out the way.
