So that means he will know exactly how to beat us... but we will know exactly how to beat them. He will know what we will do and we will know what he will do. Oh my, my head hurts. 

Except we have different coordinators on both sides of the ball.

Like... ok

 

The NCAA already knew an LSU booster was convicted of embezzling money from a cancer charity and funneling some of that money to Vidal Alexander's dad and there are recordings of the basketball coach talking about paying players. They dont care and won't do shit.

Wonder how Noah Cain's liking State College? (The complainent is a Sachse kid: https://247sports.com/Player/Isaiah-Humphries-85436/ )

 

Didn’t he just wax poetic about Jai Valai on the record?

 

Edit to add: Are we playing a long game tamper? Is Noah Cain going to transfer to Texas, and Herman hired Valai to leverage the relationship?

Wow, him and Hubbard back.

Kinda dumb career-wise for them both given how hard the mileage is on RBs, but hey if they feel it's right for them go wild.

Apparently it might have something to do with the hope that rookie or RB deals get a boost in the new CBA being negotiated.

Kylin Hill and Najee Harris as well .... 

If Najee Harris wasn't known for being the former #1 recruit in the country and the default starter at Bama, he wouldn't have a reason to even notify someone of his decision to come back. He's a positively average P5 college back. I'm betting he gets drafted significantly lower than Damien Harris did (3rd round) and has an even less impressive career. Harris shocked the nation this year with his rookie campaign of 12 yards gained. 

Also, fuck that guy. Who Texas? Right. Who are you, motherfucker.

Separately, I watched MSU numerous times and never thought Hill was some sort of crazy baller either. I assume he didn't get a high draft grade and that made even the prospect of getting way less action in the Leach offense seem like a better choice.

His defenses are always good in year one. It's not an awful move in terms of saving Helton's skin for another year.

Not to mention he'll fare well against a lot of those offenses like Stanford, Utah, Colorado, ect.

So, our Evans suspicions are confirmed, as far as I'm concerned. Georgia just got tired of his fucking shit. He's about the biggest prima donna anyone can remember. Bama and Texas got out of that one and started looking elsewhere a lot earlier than anyone else. 

Apparently, Evans is dealing with Buck Fitzgerald, who has a history of funneling guys to LSU, among other places, and occasionally to ATM. He's out Tennessee, played on their national title team in '98, and is a handler/street agent. He's running Reggie Grimes in this cycle as well. Anyway, no clue how a guy at North Shore gets connected to this dude, but it was probably someone with one of the programs directing him into friendly hands for their purposes. No clue is LSU is still interested, but the North Shore staff has zero positive things to say about Evans and they are tight with LSU. One of the NS coaches is also a pretty good friend of UT. Evans has not been a secret to any of these schools. Some are just either more desperate (ATM, Ole Miss) or have a higher appetite for this kind of risk (UGa, Florida). 

The Buck Fitzgerald guy is not a good guy for a program like Texas, pre-redirect with the Jay Valai Maneuver. He has a sweet About Us page on his company site if you go check it out. Really well done job there.

Buck Fitzgerald, CEO. 

Looks like a totally up and up and altruistic organization just helping kids realize their dreams.

Edit - Just please overlook the embarrassing reference to off-brand overseas Viagra in the ctj mentioned About Us section.
