Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Ulysees E. McGill]

That's a fairly broad brush you're painting with. Seems to be a pattern, everything is always political.

Could be first two years are now paid for, at Comm college. Kids save as much money as possible. Everything is expensive.

That isnt a blue or red thing, man.

Really...you don't think people of a certain mindset haven't raised their children to not be entitled little needy whiny s like people of another mindset have?

Mine are 28, 30 and 31. One of them has been married for 10 years, one for 9..and all of them moved out when they went to school and made a life for themselves.

I didn't raise them to be f'n soft needy bums....but you do you.

This ain't Nick Saban's Alabama and Florida will have fired Billy Nips by then and will be trying to hold off their roster from getting an early jump on the TP.

Lagway has saved his job once already. Could probably do it again next year. They’re going to be a very good team.

Eh, I’d rather continue doing what we are doing.

Look at A&M’s 2021 or 2022 class. They threw around MILLIONS and they have 2 kids left from that class.

I like that we don’t throw big numbers around at these kids. Let them prove it first.

We will pay the kids when they earn and deserve it, not the kids that cry.

Exactly, if we weren't winning then I could understand the desire to go more into the NIL space. Spending more is not the answer. ROI is the key. I think we are doing quite well there. Is there room to do better, sure. I just don't think throwing money at a problem is the best answer. Spending should be strategic, which I believe it currently is.

To be fair, moving out early doesn’t always equate to “making a life for themselves”

I’ve also met a ton of people that moved out early and were still entitled little *****

Just saying


Edit: It depends on how you were raised though.

We would beat Saban, anyway. His fame was built on the corrupt NCAA knowingly letting him cheat with impunity, including paying players big bags and Chargers, even houses, etc., from day one. He quit when the playing field leveled and other teams could pay, but not before Heup beat him. Stolen-valor Nick.

Still going to be a tough game — especially if the Birmingham refs outright steal the game like they did last time we played there.

Florida will be tough too. It’s a tough league.

Peak at the right time. GB!

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

This will put Florida ahead of us now. How does a 7-5 Florida out recruit a 10-2 team going to the playoffs? I think we’ve only out recruited them one year yet we’ve gone 30-8 in the last 3 years…

You might as well get used to it. We are not going to do stupid things like Florida is obviously doing because they are DESPERATE.

Ryan Day thinks Herbstreit is a road with shops that only sell herbs and spices.

Feet, head, and hands, and you’re good.

Right now they’re throwing $ at everyone. But being in the state of FL will always give them an advantage over us.

This don't have a damn thing to do with them being in Florida..this is purely about greed and Florida spending insanely because they are desperately trying to dig out of a massive hole.

@TrippieRedd think Herbstreit is that street where all the dispensaries are at.

That T don't look right. You would think Sally could get the Power T looking right by now.

Meanwhile, Florida is offering Hawk Tuah coin as part of it's NiL deals.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I have a feeling Florida/Billy is spending desperately.

It is obvious as hell...but look what it did for Jimbo and A&M....zilch

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

pretty sure they’re using the buyout money to buy enough talent to overcome Billy’s coaching ability

That didn't work for A&M and Jimbo.

 

[TrippieRedd]

I wish we could’ve started the NiL era with contracts being something like

Here’s 300-500k for signing with us or however it works

Then they get “bonuses” based on performance at the end of the season, like how head coaches get theirs for making it the tourney or winning the SEC.

300k base, or something like this.
If you get 750 receiving yards, you get a bonus
If you get 25 passing TDs, you get a bonus

Not, you get a bonus for not transferring and staying with us!! The fact we’re paying more for kids to not transfer, is so stupid especially when they have only played 5 snaps lol

The kids get paid something early, then they get more based on their performance. I wish they would’ve structured it like this somehow.

I get it, it’s basically structured like this, the kids that standout get more money, sure, but it’s so poorly executed.

My buddy who is a Michigan fan sent me this from one of their boards. It’s wild.

We had to put our 9 year old matriarch pup down today. Asking everyone to raise a glass in honor of her. Her name is Paisley. We'll miss her. Thank you.

It’s a general statement that they will always have that advantage over us.

Herbstreit hearing 20,000-30,000 Vol fans in The Shoe on Saturday

3500 tix was an insult. Never ever give this fanbase a challenge.

I pray for comfort in your loss.
