From stuff Bobby and Gerry are saying the staff expects Nick Brooks to be a 2 yr started at LT after this year. Then if they land Turntine I imagine he gets there after unless he plays RT first. Baker has 2 years at RT as well right now. Any HS tackle they bring in after Turntine will likely be a backup for 2 years, minimum. High profile dudes don't want that.
I don't understand the house settlement shit or the desire to regulate pay. You can't regulate pay because any restrictions you put will just be cheated with outside cash payments being arranged. So how about leaving that alone and regulating what you can? Namely eligibility limits and transfer rules. Make it where once a dude signs he only gets 1 free transfer without having to sit, or none at all unless the HC leaves, and it would make more sense to spend big on HS recruits if you know they will have to sit for 1 to 2 years before they'll play.
At most positions anyone we sign now won't see the field much at all for a year at minimum. Sark is in a tough position because you don't want to throw a ton of money at a dude that will just get pissed and transfer out after sitting a year, and with the new rules not being set yet he has no idea what the game will be in 8 months to a year.
