  1. Pretty sure the Clark Field collective is for all sports including basketball. But honestly basketball teams probably won’t need as many team wide NIL deals as football (or any other sport). Guys can get paid plenty individually. Smaller rosters, more visible players (no helmets) and basketball already has the built-in infrastructure to pay kids. It shouldn’t be too hard to just start funneling things through different NIL deals.
  2. Thought this dude was going pro for sure, but he’s in the portal, and would be a heavy contender for being the #1 transfer.
  3. The fact that we even get a hat tells me the NIL we’re offering is competitive. That kid isn’t leaving Iowa State just to settle for chump change somewhere else.
  4. Guess not. Although 247 doesn’t even have Antoine Davis in its transfer database. And On3 doesn’t appear to have Davis or Tyrese Hunter in theirs. Those are the two I’d have the hardest time understanding being ranked below Bates.
  5. Wow! Well you can say this about the staff, they don’t have very many leaks coming from them. 9.95ers are not clued in at all. At best we get a vague hint like an hour before shit happens.
  6. It does feel like a bit of a shame for him to focus mainly on football in the future. His form is not even very good yet, if he dedicated himself to track long term, hard to imagine that wouldn’t be his best sport, sky’s the limit there.
  7. Well, she was right, her son should've played. He's probably better than any of the edge guys that played for us last year.
  8. The only people who compare him to Bolt are the ones trying to discredit him for some weird reason. Comparing any high school kid to the fastest man ever in his Olympic prime is brain-dead behavior. But people do it anyway because Bolt was big and they can't think of any other comparisons. Bolt didn't even run the 100m in high school because his coaches thought he was too big, and this kid is even bigger.
  9. He's plays good defense, but it isn't good enough to make up for being a total non-factor offensively. I'm fine with him leaving.
  10. He was the Big 12 freshman of the year. Feels like the basketball portal has a lot more quality in talent than the football one. Given the dynamics of the sport, working the portal well is going to be more important than high school recruiting for a lot of schools.
  11. The schools provide just about everything else for these kids and you think they won’t provide tax help? This is a silly concern. Nobody wants their star player arrested for tax evasion, it will be taken care of.
  12. Bates’ stock has fallen off a cliff, he is not the #1 transfer. But Antoine Davis might be and he also just entered the portal.
  13. If you just want to get rid of the coaching staff, I get it. But I don’t want to watch anymore 5-7 seasons, so Im always going to opt for improving the roster over not improving the roster.
  14. As opposed to the 5 wins we had last year? Yes. And we won 10 games in Anderson’s lone year here anyway, not 8. So not only is the point you’re trying to make stupid, you’re also factually wrong about said point.
  15. I just said Mathis was a shithead, you grouchy fuck, but we currently have a good player on Texas from DeSoto. Im more familiar with Mathis’ fuckery than most on this board, I shit on him all the time on the HSFB boards. But I’m not interested in just quitting and ceding major schools to opponents, whether that be Desoto, Allen, Katy, or anywhere else we’ve had issues in the past.
  16. Miller is the only NFL star, but Desoto has produced plenty of good college players. Laviska Shenault, James Proche, the Orr brothers, Tatum Bell, etc etc. And one of our more promising DL on the current roster, Byron Murphy, is from Desoto too. Mathis is a shithead, but it’d be stupid to ignore Desoto.
  17. Hicks has been considered an aggy lean for a while now, and before Neto last year, our luck with Allen kids wasn't any better than it was with Katy kids. So I don't think it matters much, we weren't in the running either way. If OU is running second though, you'd think they'd be able to use the aggy 22 DL class against them. There's only so much playing time available.
  18. Knighton had already turned pro by then, so no. But it does count as the under-18 record. In fact, it’s also the under-20 record. That kid is amazing. He’s like 50-60 pounds lighter than Harbor though. So he’s just a little less of a physical anomaly.
