    I've watched a lot of Colorado this season (I don't have any strong opinions for or against Sanders, I just like to watch football).  They've mastered the art of having the final score look closer than the actual game.

    The UCLA game was 28-9 when Colorado scored with 2:38 left to make it 28-16.

    Oregon St was winning 23-5 early in the 4th quarter, and 26-12 with 4:47 left.  Colorado scored with 1:42 left to make it 26-19.

    USC was winning 41-14 halfway through the 3rd quarter and 48-21 with 2:14 left in the 3rd quarter.  Colorado scored with 1:43 left to make it 48-41.

    To be sure, your overall point is correct - they aren't getting blown out of the stadium.  But the games are also less competitive than the final score would suggest.

    Deion is a master of the back door cover.

    So, second year back Ollie Gordon (OSU) is terrific. Backs that good need to get to the NFL ASAP, to start earning before they quickly age out. 
     
    Does he portal this year? OTOH, he fits OSU and knows the team, knows the system. I’m sure they will give him the most NIL if he stays. 
     
    OTOH, I’m sure guys like Kiffin are tampering, contacting him and trying to woo him into the portal. There are teams that can pay him more, and give him a higher profile. 
     
    Wouldn’t there be a bidding war for him?

    I hope we’re tampering with Nick Martin, dude is a tackling machine.

    Seems unlikely. 4 of our top 6 or 7 DBs are likely gone after this year and we haven’t taken huge numbers at CB or S in the last two classes. 

    Yea, we lose a ton in the back field after this year. I’d be shocked if Brooks and Muhammad aren’t the starters and damn good but I’d be equally shocked if Kobe wasn’t the 3rd or 4th corner and rotated in a bunch.

    You’re usually pretty fair in your assessments so this doesn’t make sense.  OU dline recruiting is legit.  

    The knock is this very well could be a total garbage ass hc, so talent won’t matter.  That’s why most OU fans who aren’t morons (not many) are more just relieved with the solid recruiting, and not head over heels. 

    Legit is a pretty strong word, Stone and the Missouri kid from last year are both legit. Jayden Jackson is a top 150-200 kid that you outbid everyone else for and there’s pretty much nothing after that the last 2 classes. You really need to close on Okoye for it to be anywhere close to legit and even then you lack any depth at all.

    IMO Fong knows it’s Texas. If he flipped his CB at this point it ruins any suspense left. If he leaves it on LSU he takes a hit, so he nukes it accompanied by a phrase intended to leave some suspense.

    I’m betting Nahlin is sandbagging too at this point, IT has been way to confident. I’m sure they have a deal for an exclusive interview in exchange for drumming up some suspense.

    Both. I'm sure teams there is gray area and teams bend the rules but he technically isn't allowed to coach players in practices or games. He is allowed to meet with recruits on campus but can't recruit off campus. It is a "coach the coaches" type role.

    Teams have been pretty much ignoring that rule for years with little to no repercussions.

    OB hinting that there is still work being done in the portal. Assuming it is Montgomery.

    It’s been said we had a competitive offer for Lucas and DC. Lucas signed for 300k  so I’m assuming competitive offer in that neighborhood, if they both had 200-250k NIL offers with them signing it would reason we should have a nice slush fund to money whip a guy or 2.

    There is about half of that amount left in their bonus pool though.  That is the problem...

    They have the remainder of their bonus pool 250k + the 5% they can go over which is about 350k = 600k they have remaining. 

  9. 10 hours ago, cochamps said:

    Yep if I understand the numbers correctly, LA only has about $250K left for the unsigned players.  I'd be surprised if they got DC for that.  Most ovf their signees were over the slot value, and I wonder if part of that is they got an early indication that he was not going to sign.

    They have 250-275 left over from their bonus pool but you can go 5% over your pool amount and just pay a tax so that’s another 300ish. They have around 600k left before they would lose picks next year. 
     

    Anybody advising the kid to do anything other than take 500k and go join a top 3 organization in baseball doesn’t have his best interest in mind.

    dodgers have an excellent farm system, it’s a great system with the coaching to match 

    Unless they are offering him peanuts which I’m sure they aren’t there really isn’t a better situation for him. One of the premier organizations in baseball with an outstanding resume of developing prospects.

    And?

    It still sucks for those kids to get signed for peanuts. 

    I don't think you get the point, but you are basically a fucking moron. 

    They had prearranged deals with the clubs, the other option is to not take the 20k go undrafted and maybe get a bus ticket to show up.

    It’s hilarious that people say I don’t know baseball yet comment shit like this. This has been the practice for YEARS. For every team. Draft college seniors with no leverage rounds 6-10 and sign them for peanuts and use savings elsewhere. The Yankees signed an 8th rounder for $5000 one year. It’s nothing new or unique.


    Not to mention 99% of those guys wouldn’t have been drafted anywhere close to top 10 rounds to begin with and had prearranged deals before they were even drafted. They didn’t get cheated out of anything, in majority of instances they are getting 10-15k more than what they should have if they were drafted on their actual talent/prospect grades.

    A.) I'll split the difference on recruiting class classification

    B.) Wat?

    The kid turned 17 in December/January so age wise he’s supposed to be a 2024 kid, so technically right thread and also how he jumped 2 classes.

    Terrell was the one who said all of last fall that Muhammad was not ending up at Texas and would be going to Bama.

    I’d rather wipe my ass with a poison Ivy leaf than read anything that dumb fuck says. It’s pathetic when Ketch’s fat ass runs circles around you in anything but he’s lapping DT in the credibility department.

    The main thing, is Terry has a record of being a very good recruiting when representing The University of Texas.  The deep run shows the guy can coach. He created among his players the best TEAM I think any of have ever seen at Texas.  Hell because of the team first mentality we damn near made the Final Four with one of our best players and leading scorers on the bench.  Interestingly enough, I think that Terry's knowledge of team building is likely his best attribute, when it comes to recruiting.  Simply as the truth is some talented kids are fucking team cancers.  

    I would give almost anything for Disu to come back, as I think of what a beast he could potentially be next season.  He's got the skills, but he would be very, very, very difficult for all but the best in the Nation to defend if he came back and was playing at 6'9" and closer to 240-245 (I decided 250 was 5 lbs too many).  Durant was 6'10" and 240 lbs out of high school apparently, so a little size might go a long way on Disu, and help him be ready better physically for the NBA, (dreams, hopes and prayers here) IF I were Terry I would treat Disu like Mack Brown did Ricky Williams. #1 recruit on the list!  Get him and If we can hold onto what else we have, and bring in some transfer portal talent... sheeeeeeiiiiiiiiitttttttt,...     we will be looking pretty.

    I guess one of the best things about the portal for Texas fans is we are gonna see what sort of juice RT is gonna be able to squeeze pretty quickly.  I guess in my mind the most interesting things will be if Terry and Beard are going head to head on a transfer. You gotta give the edge to RT right?

    Anyhow we still seem to be always looking for a holy grail center.  Imagine if one day we truly had one of those to play with in our lineup mix?  Good things on the horizon!

     

    KD was 200 lbs soaking wet coming out of HS, it was the only question mark about his game.

    I have a pair of these. Bought them when they were $150. Added green super soles and never looked back. Extreme boot comfort. Can wear all day with zero issues. They age very well too, look great with jeans

    Yea looks like double H makes them, they’ve been the only one I can really find that I like. Thinking about going with this pair from Cavenders.
