  1. Each recent loss should be evaluated case by case. Some were for reasons other than nil primarily (Crowell, Griffin, Lee), others were because we were willingly outbid (Calicut). 

    With others the competing team went stupid overboard (Henderson, guervil, ojo) In these cases we wouldn’t have matched even in a pre-House world. 

    The sentiment I disagree most with is that House is a massive game changer and somehow we aren’t cheating hard enough. At the very most it’s causing programs to either have or think they have more money right now. 

    I don’t believe it’s impacting our ability to make competitive, responsible offers, in the least. But if others in the know disagree, I’m willing to listen.

    I have seen it. Assuming no attrition, we only lose Brevard and Hunter after next season, leaving 8 plus however many we sign this class. 5 would be a luxury, not a necessity.

    I don't disagree.

    Is travis hunter playing dl for us? Sweet. 
     

    A couple of the guys  we brought in (Louisville guy and kanu) will be trying out for next year and might not be worth a shit. Keep stacking bodies

    I remember us being in on Brayden Rouse in the Spring, did he end up coming in for a visit? I wouldn't hate circling back to him if we only land 1 of Griffin/Atkinson, and Okpala. 

    Yes he visited. Tenn thought to be the leader, but we’re probably second.

    Thank you for that summary. It verifies what I’ve been thinking to myself every time I see a comment. House didn’t create new money for anyone. It just establishes that Schools can share revenue with athletes (at least that’s my understanding).  For most schools, all revenue (and then some) is eaten up by overhead so it’s not like they’ve had $20 million just laying around waiting to be disbursed. 

    Yeah, it also doesn’t create more good players. My thought is that will help a tad with retention for programs that previously had nothing and it will help lower to mid tier players earn some more.

    DISCLAIMER THIS POST IS ABOUT THE SCUM FUCK KETCH. IF YOU DONT CARE DONT READ.

    Seems like Ketch isn't following through with the Merger? so IT will be the new Rivals site, and OB is going independent.

    I don’t think there needs to be a Rivals branded fan site for Texas. IT will probably keep the On3 branding and that will be it.

    Thoughts from the Georgia side, per Wolk, for a few targets:

    -Jae Lamar (RB) decides later this week between UGA, Clemson and Miami. Georgia had four OVs from TBs this cycle: Lamar (from Georgia), Hiter, Crowell and Cooper. UGA does not expect to land the other 3 and the eggs are in the Lamar basket. Miami mods, who are often idiots and laughably wrong, believe that Miami is landing both Lamar and Crowell. Regardless, UGA being out for Cooper and Crowell is news to me. 

    -Georgia thinks it’s landing Calicut, per intel from a source close to Calicut at North Shore. Why does Texas ever fucking bother recruiting that shitstain program? What a fucking waste. 

    -UGA seems to think it is out on Malakai Lee, but holding out hope. 

    -They’ve lost confidence in landing James Johnson. 

    That Lee news is the most significant and pleasant bit, imo.

    I’m just thinking about Edwards. What a dice roll. With Texas’ success in getting RB’s drafted in the nfl, going with Texas is pretty much a guarantee of success, while picking A&M could end up like Larry Johnson or all the other failures they’ve had the last several years. 

    Even if they are offering substantially more money, it seems like a poor decision that could really screw up his nfl plans. There is no way I would have done that. He would get enough money from Texas and he’d have much more corporate mil upside potential. And a higher chance of success. He’s making a bad decision. 

    Yep. Suck for him way more than us.

    Why would you think any NIL deals would be exempt from the clearinghouse? 

     

     

    I probably read something that was wrong or I misinterpreted it but it said players could opt out of the settlement and therefore wouldn’t be bound by its terms. 
     

    In that case they couldn’t receive rev share and the clearinghouse wouldn’t apply. But as has been pointed out here that appears to be totally erroneous. Erroneous!

    Just spitballing here... but, what about a nice art gallery where players athletes can display paintings, statues, photos and other various artistic works? Well, and members of the public can purchase said art... What does the pursuit of Art have to do with some "clearinghouse"?

    I like where your head is at. Are you pre-med?

    I guess I’m failing to understand why anyone would opt out. They can get rev sharing as well as outside corporate NIL deals. 

    According to imamac they can’t so it’s a moot point. But my thought was if they opt out they wouldn’t go through the clearinghouse house and could continue to receive deals through boosters and collectives without the deloitte scrutiny. 
     

    For rosters like Texas the $15 million in rev share and whatever we can drum up in corporate won’t be enough.

    Player submits to portal. I'll put a whole debrief of the process once we get the deal signed with the next Burnt Ends class.

    What is the likelihood of players opting out of the House Settlement in lieu of more lucrative NIL deals. If they opted out would the clearinghouse process not apply? 
     

    Is there a possibility of rosters being split between players opting in and receiving revenue share while others opt out and receive big time NIL? 

  10. Apologies if this has already been covered, but i’ve had a lingering question on the clearinghouse process. 
     

    My question for the time being is who has the obligation to bring the NIL deals to the clearinghouse? Is it the school or player?

    Schools aren’t collectives, donors, or businesses so how could they be obligated to collect and submit that information? They’re not a party to any of it. 
     

    Is the onus on the players to submit those details? 

  11. Has the Lott news not been posted?

     

     

    Couple of afternoon recruiting notes

    Wanted to pass along a couple of afternoon recruiting notes.

    Confidence around Texas remains with 4-star+ EDGE Dre Quinn and 4-star+ DL Vodney Cleveland. 

    Texas is also doing pretty well with 4-star+ DL/EDGE Bryce Perry-Wright. But the Texas A&M visit looms. Clemson also in it. 

    OTF doesn’t have as much confidence with 4-star++ WR Jalen Lott. Texas had a solid visit, but we believe there is still ground to be made up. USC is strong. Oregon takes their mighty swing this weekend.
