Hearing that Texas LB Derion Gullette has committed

I assume this is Blanton’s replacement?

Stone is coming back. He has another year. Gullette will be a nice depth piece this year that we hope will step into a starting role next year. Having him in a depth role is a lot better than Tobias Hinton or Ty Cooper.

Solid depth piece, with a bunch of potential. The naysayers will say that he didn't sniff the field, but fail to acknowledge that Texas has one of the best defenses in the country the last two years, and just because he couldn't see the field doesn't mean he isn't athletic as hell. His HS tape is extremely good.

He has 3 years to play 3, so it's not like he can't get better.

Solid pickup.

[Irondawg]

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.

Bingo

Are we expecting anymore portal commitments tonight? Hayes Fawcett said that there are some notable commitments tonight

I assume this is Blanton?s replacement?

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.

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.

Is he currently injured?

? The 6-foot-3 and 235-pound outside linebacker spent two seasons at Texas, appearing in five games this fall for the Longhorns. He registered two combined tackles and two defensive stops in 2024. Gullette registered defensive snaps in three games this season, against Colorado State, UTSA, and UL-Monroe.

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.

[Cooterpoot]

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.

What are the chances we get Sydir Mitchell in for a visit?

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.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Look for us to take a swing at Wazzu transfer CB Stephen Hall. Originally from Memphis and played two seasons at NWCC before heading to the Pallouse

[Young dawg]

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.

[Cowbell]

Every year it seems like we hear that we are about to get a coach that is still coaching and players that are still playing. Hopefully this is the year.

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

[Cooterpoot]

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.

Keep telling yourself that. It's not but 12 teams in the playoffs and guys are already jumping ahead of bowl games. The math doesn't work.
