The first thing I think about when any big fish like this hop in the portal this late is t.u. tampering...hope I'm wrong

I don't think you are wrong.

TRENDING: Texas and Oregon have emerged as teams to watch for standout OT Jordan Seaton, according to Pete Nakos of On3.

Seaton is the top player in the transfer portal, and will command a HEFTY offer NIL-wise. 💰

Though, to be honest, I don't know who that recruits_CFB is or how legit their info is.

Hoping Nike outspends them.... Or Texas Tech.

Only 4,6o7 followers. May be legit but very low follower count

We need that dude in the worst way. Open the checkbook and enter the sweepstakes. Maybe Cignetti can reach the promised land with a bunch of three stars, but not everyone can pull that off. We need a dominant OL and we are light years from it.

Not sure why this particular tweet was chosen, but ultimately Nakos at On3 is the source. He also lists us in a group of schools (TT, Miami, Mississippi & LSU) expected to be involved, so who knows...

Sips already saying he's theirs

Rumor is he should have a do not contact tag because he will be protecting Arch next year.

It was publicized by many that the sips were going to change strategy for the upcoming year. Arch took an over 50% paycut to help tu go all in to win NC.

Sark hinted (well even stated) their intent was to do this, and many left due to renegotiated values were going to drop vs. what they were paid in the prior year. They only re-upped/increased the ones they wanted to come back.

The irony is that when it was presumed that Jimbo did this (paying for the S kids), it developed a me-only crap culture (Herbstreit was on his soapbox during an A&M game stating culture issues). Not saying it wasn't, but can Sark keep his so-called culture with a minor-league football team from across the nation? We shall see.

He didn't enter the portal this late to look around. Sips going all in and doing things as dirty as needed to do it.

---

Exactly.

They are determined to buy a championship by any means possible and may very well do so.

I'll try to see if there is any good information on where he stands today

It's a day ending in "y", so....

If this happens, you can't deny that the sips are kicking everyone's butts in the transfer portal.

We have added some nice pieces, but no game changers. If we want to compete with the sips we'll need to go all in on Damon Wilson and Justice Haynes. Otherwise, we will have let tu step right past us. Even Arch won't be able to be able to screw up their $40M roster.

Lol. What?

Everyone is paying kids and getting paid.

I'm not sure crying about tampering is something that makes a ton of sense these days. I'm sure some guys had a general idea of what to expect from us before they entered.

Given how frequent transferring is these days, I'm not sure the distinction between the kid reaching out of the school is what it was before when transfers were pretty rare.

Florida booster reveals $2.5 million asking price for ex-Colorado OT Jordan Seaton, who hit the transfer portal yesterday. The former IMG Academy 5-star is projected as a future first-rounder. https://t.co/IYkgh2yLjx

At least they missed on Uluave. They were pushing hard for him. They already signed Biles.

Exactly. They lost a lot of talent. They are still very light at WR and RB.

And Seaton is anything but a lock. If Oregon wants him then Phil will make it happen.

Depends on which fantasy land you live in. 247 has the sips kicking out ass

They are not light at RB. They signed Smothers and Brown off the portal. They added two in the 2026 class.

They have 2 experienced backs. If one gets hurt they are relying on a true freshman. They have numbers but 5 is usually the magic number not 4.

They are completely resetting their RB room. No returners from last year

Because they only look at who you bring in. tu lost a ton of talent to the portal

So you prefer the fantasy land that doesn't take account of players they lost….and the one that has Oklahoma Freaking State ahead of us?

We wont get every player we want, but should NEVER be outbid on a regular basis from a rival

I've also noticed that 247 sometimes look like they don't rate a player until after he's committed to a school. That right away is suspect.
