Welcome to the Internet! Once you accept this you can ignore it and move onAmazing that some on VN just are here to push buttons, stir sh!+ up, and act like they know everything.
Those posters hide behind a screen and bash other posters if their opinions differ from theirs. Some of us know a few people who are close to certain programs, and we will say what we hear, but in reality, nobody really knows squat!
BTW...I hope Nolen balls out and goes where his heart is.
De1 gets so much flak in here but he comes with more interesting info than 90% of posters lol Feels like people jump on him just cause he's not bootlicking UT
That would be totally false. I tried to let all know what I knew about Coach Pruitt. Check back and you’ll see. Pruitt was trouble at Florida State and at Georgia. A leopard does not change his spots. We are now paying a VERY heavy price for not doing our due diligence.At some point or another we all thought Pruitt was a good coach, you'd be lying if you say otherwise.
I think it's good to have some controversial or different opinions in here, the echo chamber can be so boring.
So you are present during money deals with players? Yet you say your brand just develops players and is neutral in pushing players to different schools? Sounds a bit shady to me if true.
Pruitt got fired because he didn't know how to play the game... hahaHe already previously admitted to making money off his NPA kids. It’s either in the D’Arco Perkins or Big Kat thread. That’s why he flew off the rails when Pruitt was fired. Guy was literally talking Pruitt up because he knew how to play the game.
He’s just mad bc Pruitt was probably feeding them cash and butt hurt about it all. Wish UT would’ve gotten the Wade twins but we beat them with not even 70 active scholarship players during their “magical” season.Not bootlicking? That is not the problem. He is constantly trashing them and praising Kentucky. We whipped that azz and still complete silence.
He pisses me off also but I like reading what he says
I just feel like he plays the victim too much sometimes
Idk
He does bring info though
I dont know how to ignore a thread.jokes on me if you really know, of course now I don't know how to un ignore you

Would love to hear De1's response. Can't speak to Akers, but regarding Newton there was an ESPN article circulating after the fact that accused Newton of claiming a $200k offer and seeking $180k from MSU. Months before it all became news, someone on the MSU side told me Newton received $140k. Who knows what the true number is. Regarding Brian Darden, we outbid MSU and secured his services for $160k and that was in the 90s.... Would be interested in knowing what it would have taken to get Akers and Nolen. The NIL stuff adds a whole new layer of complexity to this... OSU freshman QB Quinn Ewers received a $1.4M deal and is currently buried on the depth chart as their 3rd string QB. One of Bryce Young's deals is worth more than $800k...How much are we talking? What’s it cost to get these guys?

I think De1's point is valid... we aren't going to land the top ranked players in the country as long as our guys are only receiving deals from local air conditioning services and off-brand apparel companies. When our guys start receiving deals in the neighborhood of $1M, I believe we can contend for elite prospects again. Until then, I'm not expecting to land guys like Walter Nolen or Arch Manning.
