  1. I wonder how much of Prime’s inability to be taken seriously for some of the truly top tier jobs is his issues being vetted right now do to the Prime Prep fiasco. As bad as it looked on tv in the metroplex at the time, everything I have heard is that it was way worse than being reported.
    He’s going to struggle to be cleared at most schools and probably needs a bit more initial oversight than most coaches. Col can take that chance because if he crashes and burns and get them hammered by the NCAA it’s not a major regression from where they are while the potential payoff is huge.
     
    So people as “Why Col for Deion?” the best answer is that he was probably capped at the level he could get offers for because of his blatant disregard of academic requirements and minimal oversight as the head of Prime Prep. If he shows at Col he can keep nose clean, he is then much easier vetted to a bigger job. For Col, worst case he fucks up and they take an NCAA hit which sets them back to where they already are. If not, he either makes them good enough and he bails or maybe he like it there and they can find a way to moneywhip him longer term.

    What the story on the prime academy?
  2. I talked to a friend today around all of this stuff and they confirmed what some of us have been saying. No one knows shit. Anyone speaking declaratively right now about who will or won't be sticking somewhere ahead of next week is either going off of info about newly signed NIL work that they've actually seen or they're going off of what coaches are saying. Coaches saying anything right now are either wishcasting or taking players at their word. You cannot trust any player that has behaved in a mercenary previously to not do so again in some form. I'm not whining about it, just saying players saying anything to anyone can be dismissed until they prove their resolve to stay out as of Monday.
    There are multiple Texas players that folks are actively working to keep engaged within the program, but those players are also being bombarded by external outreach. Don't think things are different anywhere else. The jobs on college football staffs have gotten stunningly harder with all of this and it is all new to every single one of them.
    One of the hidden gems of making the CFP is that players on those teams are far less likely to do anything on Monday. By the time they do announce their intentions in January, only the truly terrific starters can ignore other schools filling up. Makes guys simply less likely to leave. 

    So are you saying there’s a chance with worthy or is he already gone.
