247 had a quick update on QB Arch Manning and the visit atmosphere for recruits.
They've had multiple sources tell them that things have gone from cautious optimism to a louder confidence that Texas can eventually close the deal with Manning.
Recruits have reached out to them to talk about all of the buzz this weekend and what they think Manning will do, including one prospect asking when Manning was going to make it official so he could commit too.
 
Lots of visitors this weekend and speculation of lots of commits forthcoming. Word is could be coming tomorrow/Monday and again weekend of spring game.

IT wrote this morning the numbers game for this class is a delicate thing right now as there won't be enough spots for everyone who wants in currently.
Things get even tighter if you factor in a Manning commitment.
 
Mathis is making his decision at the end of the month, and he’s attending the spring game, so that would seem to be a good sign for Texas

Go deep.........go deep slant..........go deep out............
That's all he needs to know!
 
Agiye Hall committed to the good guys. With the addition of Neyor and now Hall we don’t have a shortage of weapons on the offensive side of the ball.

Least of my worries. They will make them fit. May be some attrition after spring game.
Attrition really isn’t the issue. The issue is you can only bring in a certain number of “new” players. That’s incoming freshman and transfer portal guys combined. Texas is on that number as we speak. Now your talking about delaying enrollments and some shady stuff.
 
Tell you one thing sark has drastically improved the talent level of this team I think. How quickly some of the younger guys can contribute will be interesting

That’s a factor im sure but money or not numbers are becoming an issue.
They'll process some after the spring game this weekend. Meaning.... ask some to transfer because they are older and have been recruited over and/or are not good enough to be in the 2 deep.

Again. Has nothing with guys currently on the roster. You can only have so many incoming guys(freshman and transfer). Doesn’t matter how many of your guys transfer, or any of that

I’m not sure about that. I think it has to do with the total roster count, in this case, 85. I’m not an expert though on NCAA rules.

Current NCAA rules allow programs to sign up to 25 players in a new football signing class — termed “initial counters” — which includes high school players and transfers. Each FBS program also has a maximum of 85 total scholarship players. This means a coach could lose players to graduation and the transfer portal and then sign 25 initial counters but still be below the 85-scholarship player maximum

This waiver will allow those programs to replace up to seven departing transfers above the 25-player limit. Schools will only be allowed to replace players who enter the portal after either the end of the institution’s fall term or Dec. 15, 2021, whichever is earlier, a source told The Athletic. Schools will only be allowed to replace players who are academically eligible at their new school


So they have 32 spots for recruits and transfers

They signed 28 recruits

they’ve got 5 transfers so far. That’s not counting Mathis. That’s 33 new players. Either they found a loophole in the rule or something has to give somewhere
