  1. Not necessarily take a 3 star, but don't break the bank for a RB unless you're sure he's Bijan or close to that level. Go a level lower and get a quality eval. Honestly, I don't care if they make it in the NFL. As long as they produce in college. At edge, DT, QB, and CB? I'd be more willing to put a large investment of now limited funds for those positions. RB, OL, and receiver just seem to bust more at the top.
  2. Top 7 and top 100 are very different things. But the whole thing started because Burton kept saying Texas has to land a big money top RB in this class. And I disagreed unless they evaluate one of those guys to be truly elite among elite. Then it makes sense to pay big money. Everyone else will take time to develop and likely be a waste of high dollar NIL sitting the bench.
  3. Jesus fucking Christ. Go back through the top backs by recruiting sites every year over the last decade. See how many are busts in the NIL sense of the word. The whole point is if you evaluate a guy to be in the elite area then pay him the big NIL out of HS. Anyone else is going to need time to develop and better off spending less NIL and relying on evaluation and development at that position. So you don't have million dollar RBs sitting the bench for 2+ years.
  4. In the NIL era do you want to pay a running back near top of the market money for them to give almost no production for 3 years and maybe break out in year 4? In this day of big money for top guys that timeline is reserved for low cost developmental guys. A top money guy like Cooper, Edwards, Crowell, etc is a bust if he's taking that kind of money and produces what Miller did in 3 seasons.
  5. Someone doesn't understand there are always exceptions. Bijan is elite. Someone of that caliber only comes out of HS every few years at most. I did 2022. Go back several years before that and look at the top 7 RBs by recruiting services. Then see how they turned out.
  6. He had an ok 2024. 668 yds at 4.6 per with 7 TDs. That's ok, but not good enough for the 3rd year of a guy ranked as the 4th best RB in the country coming out. He did next to nothing in the receiving game and next to nothing his first 2 years. Not a full on bust as a recruit, but a bust compared to his ranking coming out. Blue was similar rushing, 730 yds at 5.4 per and 8 TDs. But Blue was much better out of the backfield. 42 receptions at 8.8 per for 6 TDs. Blue was definitely the better back outside of the fumbles.
  7. Bobby keeps saying how they need "a stud too end running back". Running backs are a lot like linemen where the recruiting services miss on them all the time. The best RBs are usually not highly recruited, at least at the top 5 or so in the country. Just look at 2022. The top 7 RBs according to 247 composite were Nick Singleton - very solid Henderson - bust Raleek Brown - bust jamarion Miller - bust Leveon Moss - ok Jayson Blue - solid but flawed Gavin Sawchuck - mostly bust Jeanty and Skattebo were 2 of the top RBs in the country last season and neither were recruited highly. RBs are about evaluation and having a good line.
  8. Why wouldn't he? That's one of the best nights he's ever had with his sister
  9. Pretty easy to handle. Use a burner account and post it as speculation. Then quote from his admin account with the 👀 All you gotta do
  10. The 9.95 "I have super secret info but I can't tell you" is peak 21st century dumbassery
  11. Still one of the greatest, and most prescient, pieces of satire. It describes 2025 America perfectly, and was said over 20 years ago. I'm reminded of this during this entire flooding disasters governmental fiasco and the way it's all playing out.
  12. Honestly, all news talk should be nuked from the site. Delete the forums. Make a hard rule against any news at all being discussed here that isn't sports related. The USA is collapsing. It's under a mountain of debt that is unsustainable, the government has been sold to the highest bidder for several decades, and there are massive propaganda sources just denying reality and painting everything with lies to cover their own corruption and criminality. Millions of members of the US society are being persecuted by the government and fellow residents, fascism has taken hold, and everything is getting more cruel and disgusting by the day. Governmental systems are breaking down and being stripped for parts. That has become completely evident with the central Texas flooding disasters. It was a complete failure of government and culture at all levels and has gotten hundreds of people killed. It will only get worse as the corruption and incompetence goes unpunished and actively rewarded. There's no reversing this. It's a society destroying itself from the inside. It will eventually completely destroy us as Americans. If you want the board to hang on to people for the longest time possible just make it free from any news whatsoever. Just an escape from our impending demise as a society to focus on sports.
  13. Which a decade later has almost universally been a complete disaster for them.
  14. If they really think Kent can be a receiving threat at that size I could see them paying for him since we need blocking beef at TE that is capable of beating a LB in coverage.
