IMO, I don't think we need to pursue anymore OL, but if we were to, I'd prefer going after Coogan over Spindler. Hasn't Coogan already shown himself at Center for ND? Again, not saying we need him because I like our young guys, but the idea if you did get him would be Coogan at center, Pendelton and Moe as your guards, and Heard and either Sanders or Perry or Warren at tackle.

Because that's an insane amount of money to give a WR, even one of Smith's caliber. Only college players who should garner that kind of money right now are stud QBs, truly elite edge rushers, and maybe elite OTs (but probably not).

It depends on if you think OHST would let him leave or offer same or more money. Make an offer high enough to get his interest and let how shop that price around. Best case scenario, OHST pays him more and depletes some of their money for other players. Worst case scenario, we end up with a world class proven at the highest level receiver.

I know Oregon has an in with Tate through his gf, but IMO, if Knight really wants to try and buy Oregon a title, Jeremiah Smith is the way to go. Has to play two years before he's draft eligible and is already the best WR in the college game. Spend that money Uncle Phil. Go buy you a Jeremiah Smith!

Smith is the best player in college football. He is worth whatever someone wants to pay him. Never understand why people worry about salaries. Good for the kid if someone pays him.

I don't worry about what a player makes, but failing to take the impact of one players pay into account for team dynamics and the feasibility of retaining your other players is relevant. Cost benefit is what i speak too when I say 4.5 is too much.

Wonder how many of the Negas that have been crying, beeching, and complaining for the last month have figured out how VERY important it was to spend the bulk of our time and money RETAINING all those ~50 bluechip guys we have on our OWN roster before we started worrying about paying new players to come here now that they see Notre Dame being taken apart in the portal???

Imagine the sheitshow VN would be if OUR starting Center, Tackle, Guard that started 7 games(played in 13), and 1 of our leading WRs were ALL being taken away by other teams? It would be the end of the world for some of these guys. We lost nobody of consequence that will hurt our team next year. ND offense is being dismantled. We take a lot of things for granted IMO. As usual looks we we are gonna close strong in the portal too and shore up some weaknesses in the roster. As usual CJH and staff have UT set up to be a good team now and especially in the future.

I would like to apologize to my black friends on here for this dude dropping a slur...
I'd also like to apologize to my literate friends who had to attempt to read that.
"sheitshow" is my favorite part personally.
