Portal Thread

TE Amari Niblack plans to enter Portal.
Every single Horns reporter that I’d heard speak on Jordan Washington after he committed said that he’s undoubtedly the most gifted(measurables, athleticism, hands, feel for the position) TE that Sark has had on the 40. Not saying he’s going to be Jermichael Finley… but I’m excited to see him get on the field.
 
What's our portal "gets" update?

RB and DT are really it I think...

QB is good, and I doubt you can get anyone better than Owens to back up
RB is hurting...we need a bruiser
WR is good...I like what is on the roster and coming in
TE is good...nice depth just no experience
OT seems to be good and I doubt there is anyone that could unseat Goosby and Baker
IOL seems to be even better than tackle from a talent standpoint

Edge is more than good here
DT needs another guy or two, badly
LB is good....we added a pretty solid dude
CB is good now that Manny calmed the **** down
S is exceptional even with the loss of Mukuba
Nkl is solid too

We got our punter
Looks like the lefty will get a shot at kicking

QB - Manning/Owens/Lacey
RB - Baxter/Wisner/Gibson/Simon/Stewart
WR - Wingo/Livingstone/Butler
WR - Moore/Niblett/Ffrench
WR - Lockett/Dubose/McCutcheon
TE - Washington/Shannon/Terry/Randle/Townsend/Winston
LT - Goosby/Chatman/Brooks/Coleman
LG - Ume/Cruz/Hutson/Kibble
C - Robertson/Hutson
RG - Campbell/Agbo/Christian/Coleman
RT - Baker/Cojoe/Stroh

That's my best guess on offense without adding anyone else. Texas needs a RB. I bolded the incoming freshmen

Edge - Simmons/Vasek/Ume/Orogbo
DT - January/Brevard/Hills/Charles
DT - Shaw/Terry/Sharma
Edge - Moore/Burke/Jackson
LB - Lefau/Smith/Cunningham
LB - Hill/Spence/Barnes
CB - Muhammad/Mack/Wilson/Chester
Nkl - Guilbeau/J. Williams
S - Taaffe/Filsaime/Roberson/Hicks
S - D. Williams/McDonald/Phillips
CB - Black/JJR/Littleton

We need help at DT, badly. Shaw was the 12th ranked overall player out of HS. I think in this environment we will see potential reached. Brevard was a very solid player in the B1G. Decent production. Terry needs to be everything, everyone has thought him to be since he was an 8th grader!

Everywhere else is pretty solid. Need the LBs to take the next step.

It is another extremely talented roster.

I see 8/10 probable draft picks in there, mostly on defense. The offense is still young.

That would give Texas around 36 picks in 3 years. Nuts production. Need to see some hardware

There are going to be some growing pains next year. If we can avoid early losses we will have a chance for the playoff. We have tOSU and Florida with Lagway early.

Awesome! I agree about Owens. I was really impressed with him during the orange-white game. I hope that he gets playing time and doesn't transfer!

Don’t forget about Bolden at WR. He’s going to have a bigger role next season with his speed and versatility. You can line him up anywhere and he’s a matchup problem for the defense.
 
maybe being rated the # 1 team in the too early polls shouldnt hurt us in the portal at DT......you know.....team pretty set everywhere that figures to make the playoffs that could use help at DT.....

forgot to add....team also has deep pockets....

oldhorn2 if Manning is as good as advertised we will be back.
 
There are going to be some growing pains next year. If we can avoid early losses we will have a chance for the playoff. We have tOSU and Florida with Lagway early.

I think 75% of the growing pains are on the OL, and understandably. I think the new DTs will streamline quickly. How well can the new guys on the back end pick up the complexities of the zone Texas likes to run?

Giving a LOT of snaps to a LOT of guys yearly helps with the integration.

That said, you are 100% correct. The good thing about Ohio State game is they will be losing just as much as Texas, but have dudes to plug in and play immediately.
