Calling it now and this is gonna upset some folks in the Big 12 country but missing out on. It is a sign that the playing field is finally level and we are still winning the war. Texas flexed their checkbook and their new SEC shine to land a kid and good for them. I do not care. We went toe to toe with Texas Oregon Ohio State and came up second. That means our name is on the same short list as every powerhouse in America for a prospect in the 2027 class. That is not a loss. That is validation. People want to act like missing one recruit means the dynasty is cracking. Please. We just landed Kaiden Prothro at tight end. We have a top five class sitting in the 2026 year and the staff is already working the 2027 board harder than anyone. The summer dead period is when Kirby and the support staff lock down the relationships that pay off in December. Every visit this weekend matters. Every unofficial that rolls through Athens plants a flag. We are not in a panic. We are reloading the war chest. What I care about is the long game. Texas wins a recruiting battle in June 2026 for a junior in high school. Cool. I want to see where that kid ends up halfway through his sophomore season in college. I want to see if the culture sticks. We have four years of tape showing what happens when kids buy into what we build. The development pipeline is real. The NFL Draft this week is proof. We lose guys every year and still plug the next five star into the rotation without missing a step. The Week 6 matchup against Alabama is gonna tell us everything about where this rotser stands. But right now in June? I am looking at the 2027 board and I see our name next to every elite prospect in the country. We are in the final group for kids that Texas Oregon Ohio State and everyone else wants. That is where we want to be. We will win our share.
