It is funny to me that what some people find disconcerting I find reassuring. I think I am most relieved that Heupel, our collective, and AD all seem to be working from a well orchestrated plan. We clearly have money because Nico literally opened Pandora's box on NIL envy, jealousy and speculation. Nico was a very wise investment though. Might not work out, but by all experts he is one of the most sure bets in recruiting in the last 5 years. Then we clearly doubled down investing major capital in his protection this year. That was reflected not only in the pursuit of Seaton, but also the pivot to returning starters when we did not. Even CO touted how much we had offered. Kid got sold by Deion and that kind of stuff happens, but it was not money related.

How many of you watched Bryce or Levis this year and wondered why NFL owners had not done the same strategy?

Ole Miss on the other hand is out shotgun blasting ours and other teams malcontents and cast offs. Good luck with that.


To me, we look like smart money, but some of y'all are chasing QVC and Fingerhut.

Basilio was talking about this before Seaton announced. He said that Heupel’s plan is to build the program similar to an NFL franchise. You spend money on rock solid QB, LT, and edge rushers. Obviously you try to get the best you can in all the other positions but these are key to long term success.

So we missed on Seaton but it wasn’t for lack of money which is reassuring. We aren’t recruiting as well as our top opponents but we’re doing better now than in the past. We will have to supplement from the portal more than UGA and Alabama but that’s ok. We just have to be prepared to pay to make that happen. I’m hoping that Heupel sees a guy like Brazzell as a real difference maker. We need one at WR to take the next step too.

So I guess the Tate Ratledge going into the portal was just BS, or have there been any updates? Figured it was just a Baron move to get more money...
