His HS tape is extremely good.Quote:

Solid pickup.
Maybe he pans out, maybe he doesn't but his odds are much better than who he's replacing. And that's what we have to do - upgrade the potential in defense and hope the staff can get some of them to produce. Again, we aren't going to be able to attract highly productive players this round. We need to find either guys that are blocked by NFL types and just want to get on the field or people that have produced at lower levels and want to try and step up. Some will bust, but hopefully we hit on a few.

Gullette is another one of those guys that got hurt that we recruit. May or may not play a lot down the road. But hasn't really done squat in 3 years.Quote:

He also got snaps on special teams with the kickoff coverage unit in four games, including against the Oklahoma Sooners and Florida Gators in SEC play.
Gullette didn't play any games for the Longhorns during his true freshman campaign in 2023, due to the rehab process from a knee injury he suffered before his senior season in high school.
This will make some of you happy hopefully. Confirmed visitors for tomorrow:
Justice Finkley-Texas, EDGE
Will Whitson- Coastal Carolina, DL
Jaray Bledsoe- Texas, DL
Kegan Trost-Wake Forest, OT
Kofe Asare- UMASS, Edge
Possibility of a couple of more as well but nothing confirmed as of yet.
We're the point we got to take just about everybody at DL
Not even close. A lot of DL still have not entered the portal. We're after some guys on CFP teams, not including the two visiting tomorrow.Quote:

Sounds like he's headed to LSU to reunite with Bo Davis but he'd be a good one to get if you could. You can't teach 6'6. And he's 6'6 350. Be an immediate plug in the middle for us.Quote:

Not really transfer portal related but does anyone know if we are going to attempt to get Booth or Kelly another year of eligibility?
Well the thing about the Pavia thing is it is just an injunction. I know Booth wants to move on to the NFL. No clue on Kelly.Quote:

Have you seen our loser ass DL? What about the lack of DL recruiting? That's what I thoughtQuote:
