‘23 GA OT Shamurad Umarov (Tennessee commit)

I’m convinced we’re getting played for a bigger bag. Too many recruits we are supposedly in a great position for that our mods start walking back in the final days of their recruitment. One is fine, two is a coincidence, three is a pattern.

Kasper reached a level that we just weren’t going to go to in Oregon. Tate absolutely wanted to be at Ohio State; we didn’t get out bid he did absolutely use us to get a better offer. FM just got a ridiculous offer to go to Miami and if the numbers we’ve heard rumored are right I don’t blame him; he wanted to be at Tennessee if all things were close to equal.

We can cry over it or take that 4 milllion that would’ve went to FM and try to get Ramil, Simmons, and Umarov with it.

kasper wanted to reclassify though. Oregon was taking him as a ‘22

The facts will come out. I am guessing it was a late big NIL offer boost. I don't think he led us on for a long period of time. If he did I will break my standing rule of wishing for them a healthy unspectacular career and hope for a bad hammy every Sept. I want our NIL money spent wisely and hope that we do not overpay for these guys. QB is one thing, OL is another. Any position is an injury away from bad economics. We can spread the SPECULATED size offer for him across several top tier OL and we need several. Love to have him and those others, but not at any cost.
 
If we miss on this kid, our OL recruiting is in dire straits.
Could you be more melodramatic? Especially at a position such as OL. The least important position as far as rankings go. Very difficult to predict success of 16-18 year old OL. Top couple typically no brainers and then after that it is a crapshoot.

Absolutely I could. But I'm not being melodramatic, I'm being realistic. This kid and Ramil are at the top of our recruiting board now that Mauigoa has picked Miami. I'm trusting that there's a reason our coaches have them at the top of the board.
 
So you finally understand how recruiting works.
I always have. That's why I don't buy when our "insiders" say a guy is coming. Been proven numerous times there are no insiders. Then get called a troll when I have doubts lol
 
Send a bigger bag of cash
It is really easy to spend someone else's money. But there are other recruits that may take an NIL... and there are current players who will expect an NIL after they actually perform on the field this fall. Just speculation but I doubt Nimrod got a bunch of NIL money when he signed or showed up. But then he made noise in the spring. What might it cost to keep him or someone else like him?

You have to spend this money strategically... and if Miami really paid Mauigoa $4 million... that's the point in the auction that you sit on your number and congratulate the "winner".
