The verdict: Filler

No news in it: a travel piece, event plug, evergreen explainer, listicle, roundup, holiday post, or something written to fill space or catch searches.

This list will only focus on 13 of the 25 players that transferred out of Texas this past offseason.

It is a roundup of player stats from former Longhorns with no new event, decision, or announcement.

Junk rating: 5 out of 10 (0 is solid reporting, 10 is nothing under it).
