I think it's clear Simmons is still very interested but his NIL opportunity with Texas will just continue to outweigh everything IMO. Thats why he ultimately chose them and we just cant win that bidding war no matter what.

Maybe. At some point I think there would be an overlap between the two such that he would take less money to come here. I doubt it would be substantially less but still possibly something we could come up to. I'm actually kinda convinced that is somewhat what happened with Durham. Increased interested but potentially lower NIL won out because it was not a huge difference and he likes it better here and thinks he will be used better. Although OU taking multiple other running backs kinda helped as well.

Gotta credit the coaches for trying. They’re clearly putting in the work on kids.

Unfortunately for some yea it’s just about the best money while hopefully some other good players will be looking at what opportunities are truly afforded at each school and football program

Texas football hasn’t been relevant in 20 years. I know that may piss off the closet Texas fans on the board but it’s reality

Then I hope he milks the shite out of them. Keep scheduling trips and making them pony up to stop them.
