Recruiting Football Talk VII

[WesTnVol]

Harbaugh to NFL....Chargers
Brian Kelly to Michigan...
Lane Kiffin to LSU..
Deion Sanders to Mississippi..
Butch Jones to Colorado..

Just guessing at how the Domino's fall if Harbaugh goes to NFL

Deion to Ole Miss
He would absolutely kill it in recruiting Mississippi Alabama Georgia Florida now coaching

That's the worst news possible. I can't believe Heupel would let boosters determine depth chart/playing time. Hopefully that just Tony being Tony with the negative on what could be seen as a positive.
Surely our AD would serve as a buffer keeping this from happening.

I don’t necessarily see it that way. The rumor was that the coaches were hoping for Milton to opt out of the bowl game. So maybe the boosters and coaches want the same thing, and they are complaining, but it’s not Heupel caving to their demands.

Gripe about what?

These Donors donate for 2 reasons...
1. To help University
2. For that tax write off every year...

NIL is not tax deductible

The most surprising part is some of you actually believe TB has legit inside information lol

How many times can one man make up info and still have people believe him?

If it’s advertisement then it is.

NIL is not tax deductible

I would about guarantee that the big donors are counting it off on their taxes.

I’m just now listening to today’s Basilio show. TB said two sources have told him that Nico is starting the bowl game. Even TB doesn’t believe it. He thinks they’ll give Milton a few series at least.

Mentioned that some of the big NIL contributors have been upset about not seeing more of Nico this year.

Yes I believe Nico is starting as well. I don’t think Milton is playing.

 

[Vols4us]

If Joe wants to play in the game, he should. But he should have no say as to how much. He should go celebrate with his teammates and family, get his swag, play a little and then root on the guys who will be coming back who get to play in a game that will help next year. His younger teammates need the reps in practice and against a quality opponent.

 

[JCVol00]

Theres WAY too much smoke on twitter for The Nico rumors to be false imo. Someone from VQ would have come out by now to shut it down too

Not happening so far as Milton is still playing. Basilio is blowing smoke and creating rumors, which is what he does best.

I'll be shocked if Nico gets anytime at all. Only way is if we blow them out. That's just how our coaches roll.

Why?

Don’t you think it’s suspicious that with all the media ,practice photos and photos of the team plane and commercials for the bowl that Milton hasn’t been seen one time

All fans tell themselves that when their head coach sucks at recruiting. Dooley, Mullen at UF etc. lol it’s a joke. Those fans are lying to themselves

The thing is...in theory it could be done, there are loads of low 4s, 3s and even 2s or less in the NFL...there are plenty enough of them to field a great collegiate team that could compete for a NC...but...in practice it is nigh impossible because your evaluations have to pan out at a 90%+ clip at least...you can't afford to miss on hardly any of them being capable of performing above their rating....and you HAVE to sign an ELITE QB.

I think Clemson did it pretty well to a some extent...but I don't know anybody else that has.

I think it's funny that as Clemsons class rankings have went way up over the years, their performance has went steadily downhill.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Isn't that where we are heading though? I had a conversation with someone the other day about this. He hated NIL and the fact that there is no more loyalty. He brought up players transferring to rivals. I simply asked him if he was pro capitalism. He said yes. I said, " why wouldn't you love where the sport is heading?" Players and coaches earning what they can and what someone is willing to pay. Isn't that the core of a capitalist system? Who do some only like socialism when it comes to their sports? As it pertains to donors, they will eventually have the biggest say. The ncaa and certain politicians are trying to write law that states players are employees... How is that? Who is the owner? It cannot be the college because many are funded by state money. A private institution might be able to take this approach with players. Maybe we are headed towards the privatization of college sports where there are owners or shareholders and board members. The larger shareholders will make the decisions. They will hire a CEO, President, COO, etc... Each team will be an organization.

Someone stated that college football is heading toward and English Premier League setup. 5 divisions with the top 20 teams competing and the bottom three getting relegated. There will be power players and the rest. I hope Tennessee is a power player. It will take investment. Hence why I said a month ago, watch out for Saudi money soon in our sport. One big issue with capitalism, money typically always wins.

Money ruins everything...and sports is not a "normal" business...I have absolute ZERO emotional investment in ANY "normal" business...nobody does.

That is a great difference...and it goes over all of your heads.

If it is going to be ALL about the money...then I am out.

I have no problem with players making some money, I have a huge problem with the inequity of it all. Sports depends on at least some semblance of fairness or there is absolutely zero reason to follow it...except for degenerate gamblers who only care about anything because they have money riding on it.

If they are gonna be pros then they should have to go play where they are told like pros....but either way it sucks and ruins the sport.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

There wasn’t real NCs back then…. If someone voted you number 1 then that team claimed a championship… Tennessee has claimed a few questionable ones…. Pitt Panthers claim 9 NCs….. It’s very hard to get all of the guys committed to basically winning a game for pride. It gets even harder when guys start opting out.

Well they took your loser advice and all quit...so screw em, I hope they get destroyed now...and I hate UGA...I hate quitters more.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Why?

Because that is what he wants to happen.

 

[MemphisVol3]

Why?

Source on staff. Not sure why he isn’t.

Think it’s Milton’s choice though and with all the transfers/opt-outs. He may just want to focus on the combine/proday

NIL is not tax deductible

People have been saying, incorrectly, from day 1, the “school” is paying the player. That is false. These NIL deals are private business deals. They should stay that way. Let these people spend their money however they want.

i didn’t give them any advice…. i understand the way they feel
