    Think this is actually a nice pickup for Helton. He just needs one good year and Orlando can do that.

    LB Juwan Mitchell just entered the portal. With Ayodele Adeoye out for the spring, LB core will be down two projected starters for the spring.

    Make or break year for Herman this next football season, rather disappointing season being passed by Baylor, got lucky that their coach went to the NFL, but coaches at lessor programs keep passing him by.

    He was a first year CC/JUCO guy anyway. I'd imagine they can fill that spot. I hope.

    Some think that BJ Foster and/or Overshown might make the switch to some type of LB/S hybrid so that would help. Mitchell has reportedly had multiple run ins with the coaching staff as well.

    Yep, Overwhown's future is not as a DB, he's got the size to move up.

    Nice NSD2 pickup. 5* DE Alfred Collins seems to be the only name to watch out but would be a HUGE pickup. Would really like to add 4* CB Ennis Rakestraw but looks like Saban is reeling him in.

    Zach Evans really turned out to be a disaster.

    The Longhorns better be able to run the Football, control the ball, and play defense next year, or another coach bites the dust at UT.

    From 247: “I could see a spike in his recruitment again following spring football and depth charts changing with the transfer portal.”

    I never subscribed to the insert name is soliciting bids theory, it is what it is. But this is just a gigantic red flag, one after the other.

    Never heard of the guy. Coached at A&M under Sumlin, apparently was a good recruiter for them.

    These were big pickups, Texas has to continue building in the trenches. The talent is there, hope Herman has found the right guys to bring them along.

    Looking ahead to next year, because why not, UT is the frontrunner for the Brockermeyer twins, 5* OT and 4* OG/C, sons of Blake.

    We can't miss on them. Until last season's poor play, we basically had them in the fold, according to @Bob Barker 007's sources in Fort Worth. Signing them still shouldn't be an issue given their legacy status, but it's not as certain as it was/should be.

    I just wish they were enrolling early. Coburn is solid. Ta'Quon Graham should be better for a senior and then not a lot else that is proven. Is anyone who played LB last year going to move to DE in the new 4-3 scheme?

    So what's going on with Javonne Shepherd? Did he just not go to class and transfer to JUCO?
