Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Jackcrevol]

I'll check my calendar. You sure she doesn't mind a naked Yeti doing the procedure?

THANK YOU TO STATE OF TN AND BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL ADVANCED READING GOALS.


I mean look at this thing. It looks like it counted to 4, and is so proud of itself its waiting for us to say 'good boy.' Or it farted and wants us to soak in the aroma.

Needs a good ass whippin'.

Lol

 

[Jackcrevol]

GREAT!! Do I need to bring my own knife?

Yes Ill be at Waffle House, Paper Mill. Fuzzy, purple yeti looking thing with googly eyes. Feel free to put me out of my misery.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Lol

Reminds me of the old Onion satirical news letter from Insitutia por Los Thinking.

Pick the damn thing up and move it, pendejo.

32 years in the SEC divisional era, and zero trips to Atlanta. Ole Miss in an exclusive club with Vandy and Kentucky. I guess they’re trying to turn over a new leaf in a new era of college football.

When this wild west NIL, which is unsustainable, passes teams like Ole Miss and Colorado will return to the dust heap of "6 wins is a great season" and teams structured for the long haul will prosper. With the money being thrown around Lane better have IMMEDIATE results or he goes the way of Jimbo. If he gets those results he'll be gone, my bet is Miami.

 

[DD4ME]

Probably.

I will say that I don't want to see him at Florida.

Deion would be a nightmare to deal with in Florida or any other big programs. Not sure many of the blue bloods are willing to turn their brand into the Deion show. Love him or hate him wherever he goes he will make it about himself and not the program. I don't think Deion would want to be in the SEC. Too much competition. I see Deion more like a Lincoln Riley in that regard.

Places I could see him in the SEC.

Ole Miss, SC, maybe a really desperate UF.

they're trying to make a move while they are in a unique position to do so, given the landscape that NIL has created. There is a window now for programs/boosters that will shell out a ton of money to try to jumpstart their program in the new era of CFB. Some schools are trying to take advantage. It won't work out for everyone, but if you're a traditional mid-level player and it vaults you into the upper echelon, then it's a gamble that paid off.

I think we all know that this will continue to evolve until it is regulated (again) and the power tiers will reform into 90% of the way that we have known them for the last 60 years of CFB.

Now that Texas is in the SEC, the Texas schools are going to reignite their rivalry in a massive way. The dick measuring contest via NIL that plays out between those boosters will be insane. Then Saban and Kirby will point to whatever A&M and Texas are working with as the standard for what it will take moving forward to run a successful program. Then other schools will try to keep up with them, but it will prove unsustainable. Some rogue school(s) will flirt with Saudi money.

That will put a lot of pressure on the powers that be to reform the open market that NIL has become and put some regulations in place. Perhaps that manifests itself as revenue sharing with the players, that will then create a situation where everyone is carving up the turkey and has a seat at the table.

Teams like Alabama and Georgia will still have their under-the-table tactics, and recruiting/portal in CFB will go back to something similar to pre-NIL days.

So much for one of the best collectives in the country. We’re apparently on the same level as … Arkansas and Kentucky? This is saddening.

Blow it all up…go intramural.

I disagree in one sense. At some point some very savvy collective is going to build their own social media branding and generate their own self sustaining income. Imagine Friday Night lights collective edition. No one has tossed away their dignity yet to truly cash in. In some weird space there will develop a CFB OF. Were donors have access to the players private lives and adventures.

What if a prominent school like Miami started showing players partying on YouTube vids and cashing in from football. I am talking all that junk that sells on tiktok now. Cuban chains, cars, ladies. I could easily see a program like that landing a significant number of self absorbed blue chips and winning a natty. If it was truly a collective the school cannot stop it and what coach wouldn't harness it?

No one save Deion has really leaned into the social branding and podcasts that could be a natural spin off from all of the eyes football brings.. IMO the place to be scared of Deion landing is a place like Miami. Somewhere they have NFL alumni, decent donors, and 0 integrity.

This is one of the worst times of year in the RF. The RF regulars complaining because we didn't get this recruit or that transfer is bad enough. However, the influx of every random thought about recruiting in the FF that becomes a thread gets merge over here and we have to wade through the slop for like 3 months until they get back to generally hating life in a less recruiting related manner. Come on February!

RF regulars are alike in getting excited about the UNKNOWN elements of team building. You scout, offer, recruit, sign and develop a prospect and forecast how he becomes a part of the future and culture. That fun element draws those other forum regulars who already KNOW what’ll happen! And what these program worshipping rainbow unicorn humping ninjas need is an incendiary bomb of REALIST KNOWLEDGE!

Plz pray for me and the OH and well my family too. His mind just isn't there and IDK if it's ever coming back. The spells he has last longer and longer. He got mad and hit me today (not hard or anything) but still he got aggressive and combative. He finally calmed down but my parents are now pushing a nursing home and I don't want that - hell I can't deal with that. He doesn't know what world he's in right now and I feel so completely helpless. I just want him to calm down so I can care for him. That's all I want. I'll do everything else.

I think you ignored me, but I'm gonna say it anyway...I really hope things get better for you.

Something happening to my wife absolutely terrifies me, and I can only imagine how brutal this is...so you got my whether you want them or not.

And creating other useless threads to wade through. I went through that KIFFIN thread and was thrilled to see 7 different randoms I had put on ignore over the year all showed up in that thread alone. It is like a porch light got left on........

What that thread revealed is that now you can have a poster on ignore and still view a thread they started without viewing their participation. Game changing for some of our recruit threads.

I'm donating the proceeds of my NIL to Spyre.

Time of the year I lost my mom and the 28th is her birthday. We’re all with you. Prayers of peace and comfort.

Your jealousy is an ugly thing. No wonder you're a communist.

I'm not a communist,

Merry Christmas, moran.

 

[captainfalcon777]

I don’t look at stars ever.

Look at offers.

MTSU safety, ND TE, and Tulane Wr are offered by a lot of big schools.

That tells you their talent level.

All big pickups

What about the JUCO DL we just got? That one legitimately confuses me.

Only problem is Deon can’t coach and his coaches all left him after 1st year

Exactly what I'd expect a communist to say.

 

[Vols410]

FF + Offseason = people speculating about how Heupel's personal appearance impacts recruiting. Why oh why do I ever go in there?

 

[ViperVol86]

not telling you to do this, but I’m thinking about a lotto parlay, Donovan Mitchell triple double since Garland is out.
= more opportunities for assist, had 13 last game. Just needs to get them rebounds.

Yeah I will do this

 

[RikidyBones]

He could promote it on his own, he should use his marketing prowess to mount his own campaign. Unless he's looking for some of that 10%.
