He'd have to have one hell of a year to do that. NFL doesn't care what they were rated coming out of HS. They care about production while in college. Bru hasn't been that productive yet. My guess is we'll have him for at least 2 seasons, but if he does put up just outrageous numbers this year, he might very well consider going pro. Either scenario could be good for us.

To play devils advocate , Travon Walker didnā€™t even start until this past season and his production previously was limited

He played on an unbelievably good defense, and there were plenty of arguments over just how good he really is. But evaluations also vary by position. There are certain positions the NFL is more willing to take risks on. Personally, I don't see WR as one of those positions, unless it's someone with serious speed. But note, I said if Bru just put up outrageous numbers, he could very well decide to go pro. I don't think just a "good" season does it. It'd have to be pretty spectacular IMO. Now, two good season in a row shows consistency, and the NFL likes consistency.

I promise NFL teams have been aware of him since high school. I do agree that he needs a huge year to get the draft grade he's looking for. A 700-800 6TD season might be enough for him to jump (and that's what I expect from him), but he could get a 2-4 round grade with that and decide to come back. Good problem for us to have!

NFL teams want to see college production. It's entirely possible he has a season like you propose and decides he doesn't mind going later in the draft. If he wants to go Day 1 or even Day 2, I think he needs better numbers. Like a 1000 yd season. Now, back-to-back 700-800 yd seasons would probably put him in that range as well because it demonstrates consistency. Consistency (assuming it happens) is what's going to move Tillman up the draft boards.

Damn, the NIL stuff is legit (for us). I think it's gonna pull us out the dumpster.

Yeah but think it's legit combination of big part JH and the culture he's established too. Am quite sure many other teams had NIL deals for him too. If you listen to his interview, I think the culture (team/coaches) and exciting brand of offense were more prevailing factors, compared to what he'd had...think he wanted to get away from west and TX, but there were plenty of other choices.

Competent coach, competent AD, and an NIL organization with one of the biggest budgets in the country. When you get all those aligned youā€™re going to be successful.

Good points! NIL will help get us out of the depths but culture is what keeps coaches/players driven. I want our team to like each other no matter the consequences.

I see NIL helping big $ schools but can also see lack of culture completely disrupting a program on a level we have not seen. It only takes one bad apple tbh

Not just football either. Someone pointed out that all sports on our campus have support for each other that I havenā€™t seen here. UT just feels like the place for ā€œstudent-athletesā€ (with $$$ on the side)

Don't mean to diminish that but I'm of the opinion money talks. A lot louder than everything else. That's why Pruitt had success recruiting here.

Money definitely talks but what about after that? I think thatā€™s where culture comes in.

Or it could be more moneyā€¦who knows?

Apples and oranges now with NIL, but comparing to Heup's first class...yeah he had some success. I'd say at least. Heup's recruiting was underwhelming until recent.

I know some of the players suck, now, but when we landed JJ Peterson people thought he was the next Ray Lewis or something.

Edit: Wait, the NFL draft was a few days ago. So yes, he did assuming he landed those players that were drafted. I know he got Alontae and I think Velus. We haven't had the most players drafted recently so this year was a good one for us.
