Tarique Milton Lands at Texas - your thoughts?

[cyclone1209]

I. It will be that much sweeter to beat their ass yet again.
II. I never thought I would see the day when TX goes after someone who played at ISU, then had to leave ISU b/c of playing time.

In all seriousness I am happy for the kid but wished he would have landed at a school where he doesn't have to play ISU. That smells off to me. I hope the TX starters spend their offseason game planning around the NIL deals, and hardly at all on their physical development and team development. Worst culture in P5 football. Most underachieving program in all of P5 football.

Texas actually bringing in some culture guys?? I may have underestimated Sark.

I don't think he'll get a lot of PT there. If that was his goal, going to a lower level school would have been a better option (unless Texas is just really thin at WR).

That said, if his goal is to get a masters from Texas and experience the night life in Austin, then I don't blame him at all.

Considering Milton left for NIL is he really a culture guy?!

 

[amishclone]

May he sit on the bench all season. Amen

Why do we think he left for NIL?

 

[jsb]

I think it speaks to the talent level at Texas right now.

Probably a bad assumption on my part.

It’s kinda bullsh*t but it’s a free country, I guess.

 

[jsb]

Probably a bad assumption on my part.

He left right at the end of the season. He didn't play much the last few years. I really liked Milton. But I doubt it was some huge money grab. And if Texas is willing to pay for him, good for him.

Horns down!!!

 

[Nothingman]

No, sir. I don’t like it.

 

[JP4CY]

We can be horns down and wish him well.

Exactly I hope he kicks ass on a 4-8 Texas team that loses once again to Kansas

Texas is not going to be left behind by A&M…big bucks by some big donors.

 

[FallOf81]

Are there just a handful of plays he made here that stood out?

 

[MartyFine]

He already has an undergraduate degree, no? At any rate I don’t think this is same situation as the other transfers to SEC schools this year…

 

[NoCreativity]

He wasn't the same coming off his injury and wouldn't have played much here next year. Probably best for him to move down a level or two so he can get PT.

Exactly. Maybe he’ll have a great year there. But it doesn’t change the fact that Texas wanted a player who wasn’t going to play much here.

Good for Milton. Bad for Texas to be taking him.
