Recruiting Football Talk VIII

He's at 829

Rick Pitino has 755 instead of 878 because 4 seasons got vacated
John Calipari has 829 instead of 871 because 42 wins of his were vacated
Bill Self has 814 instead of 829 because 15 of wins of his were vacated
That's because Self, Calipari, and Pitino are huge cheaters and crooks. 😆

Self in particular pisses me off. Didn't the NCAA stall and stall and stall for a guy who had an illegal shoe company scheme and paying his players, and the evidence was air tight. If the crooked NCAA had slammed Self immediately and thoroughly, since they had the evidence, his recruiting would have taken a nosedive and Self wouldn't have that compromised title. It was another Harbaugh-type NCAA op with the same result.

As for the other two, f them, too.

Also, we still haven't heard about what was on those Michigan computers that had the Fbee involved. NCAA stalled and stalled, then swept that under the rug, with media participation. Saban very strongly implied that Harbaugh had hacked rivals' computers and had stolen (across state lines) practice video, playbooks, signals, schemes, everything. The media was peculiarly uncurious in that story.

At this point in time that would be illegal. They are getting “NIL” money, wink wink, so it can’t be tied to being on the team
I get that aspect of it, but how is it different from calling it an "off field distraction" or "behavior detrimental to the team" etc. There's all kinds of team rules for behavior outside the team. What he's doing may be legal, but a violation of team rules is a violation of team rules.

I guess the kicker is getting the team to agree to those rules.
 
PSA for the VN RF Regulars:

To be absolutely clear, I'M GOOD. It's just that my eyes have been bothering me for a little while. Switching to dark mode helped but my eyes have started getting "tired" more often, especially the past 3 or 4 months. It's really noticeable if I look at my phone more than 2 hours a day, so I'm "budgeting". It's nothing to be concerned about my BIG ORANGE friends, I'm just trying to cut down on my screen time.

Zz top 3

Big Z being top 4 is why Aidoo fell off the planet. He has to have the biggest hindsight is 20/20 moment for all of 2025.


Good example of the grass not always being greener on the other side. Aidoo's numbers are pathetic. Awaka is fairing a bit better. Plus, I'd choose Barnes over Calipari if I wanted to develop further.

Yeah, you can’t tie team rules to their NIL deals, because the NIL is supposed to be separate from the team. We all know it isn’t, but legally it is supposed to be. The players have all of the leverage.

Has to be some sort of CBA in the future
