Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
I could have phrased that better. aggy probably finished second for Coleman when he signed as a recruit in 2024. He was committed to aggy about 6 months as a high school senior. And I imagine Wiggins recruited Coleman while he was at Bama. That’s just enough reasoning for aggy to believe they were leader for Coleman when he went in the portal.

Correct. I would say if a player isn’t on the travel squad, pretty decent chance the school pulls their NIL package after the season and moves on.

I’d argue Horton was always their best possible outcome at WR. Coleman has eyes. He saw the way Arch was playing, and he also saw 8 turnovers in 3 games from Reed just like everybody else. I guess finishing second for Coleman as a recruit and the Brauny/Looch bullshit updates fed the echo chamber of false hope.

This. The NFL will find you anywhere, but they’re going to need some film first.

I think I get bronco’s point? I think Texas is concerned about revenue sharing. More scholarships, more mouths to feed. There’s also the Title IV implications. If they add 20 men’s scholarships, they have to add 20 women’s scholarships. That’s a big number, and would probably require them adding another women’s sport. Incredibly expensive. Rod Babers made an extremely rare good point today. Guys that aren’t playing are dead money. Stashing developmental players sounds awesome, but it would be very costly. So costly I doubt any program approaches 105 scholarships. I doubt many schools approach 85 scholarships if there’s revenue sharing and a salary cap. I have no idea why they passed this rule in the middle of the NIL experiment. Nobody was asking for it.

Y’all are crazy. The dorm scene was pretty damned funny.

Yep. They’re not going to find 4 starters in the portal. They’d be very fortunate to get 2. It’s why the Michigan bullshit stung pretty good.

Big mistake rushing Alpie back. Just rest him another 2 days. I know you’re trying to bust a slump, but it’s a late game on the West Coast.

I’m skeptical. Gerry or Jeff said today they really like the 4 OL they signed in 2025. Coleman Bros, Jackson Christian, and Brooks. All 4 were retained. They talked Robertson into coming back. So maybe they think they have their starting center, LT and RT. The Oregon State kid is a developmental piece. 2 starter types makes a lot of sense. That’d basically get them to 4.

This should kill the Herbert + Harbaugh hype for forever. But probably not. I can’t believe the Herbert hype came back after he threw four fucking picks in a playoff game last year.

Just a dogshit 3 point shooting team. There will be some good shooters in the buyout market. I hope we can work something out. I’m sure he trying, but if Reed were a top 10 3 point shooter it would solve many of our problems. It’s time to move Jabari to the corner on offense. Tell him to shoot wide open 3’s only. He thinks he’s Durant and mid range game just isn’t there. And oh yeah he’s trying to shoot his way through a horrific slump.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Stop Being Poor
What’s left? - Delano Townsend. I think we’re done at OL if we get him. We can probably overpay some because Robertson is coming back. I’d prefer we take Townsend and another IOL starter, but they asked Robertson to come back for a reason, and I’m sure Brooks was expensive. - Wendell Gregory. I think Bobby said Texas likes him, but his number is too high. But Gerry keeps bringing him up so I assume we’re negotiating. - I think we need another LB, but Biles wasn’t cheap for sure. Losing the Wisconsin kid sucks because Biles and Smith are both WILLs. - Gerry said we’re done at RB. - Tre Richardson has gone awfully quiet. I’m pretty good with a big 3 of Coleman, Wingo, and Mosley. I’d spend the money elsewhere.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
This is making my eye bleed. 2025 Astros bad.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Stop Being Poor
I’ll give Auburn credit. They understand their roster sucks and they need to rebuild. Thus, zero effort to retain Woodyard and Coleman. They know who they are. Meanwhile Florida is selling everything not bolted down to keep Woods, Wilson, and Baugh. They think they’re close and they’ll run it back with Sunbelt Billy 2.0 and a new QB. They are very misguided on who they are.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Stop Being Poor
As Sydney pointed out, Shannon Terry being a salty bitch about NIL money is a bizarre take. If it means so much to you Shannon, put your money where your mouth is and contribute a $1 million annually to Bama’s NIL Fund. Bama doesn’t have a QB and their entire fanbase fucking hates DeBoer. Of course they’re going to lose players to Texas.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Stop Being Poor
I’m guessing Black didn’t like the external offers he received. Coming back is a bit of a head scratcher. He’s solidly behind Bo and Kade, and they’re going to give Littleton a long look at corner. OTF said they might try Black some at safety.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Stop Being Poor
1 might be legitimate. Gerry has mentioned it before.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Stop Being Poor
I’ll give him credit for using the Citrus Bowl as a showcase game. Probably splits carries with Cooper in 2027. Seems a bit short sighted.- SEC Catch-all Thread

Coleman is a nice surprise. I guess I should have known. He committed to aggy as a recruit without ever visiting. He has no real connections there. Bama had me worried because DeBoer is so shitty at roster management, he would overspend on a WR when Bama desperately needs to upgrade at OL, but Simpson left. Tech never felt serious, but hey they spent $6 million on fucking Sorsby. Texas always made sense. Mostly because of Arch.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Stop Being Poor
Predictable and sad. By all accounts he’s a future pro and does things the right way.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
I’ll stick with trading Jabari. It’s already a negative contract in my opinion. The kid is just a pussy. He’s made public remarks about how he doesn’t like to bang inside. Dude you play power forward. It’s a big part of your job. I thought he was an important piece last year because he was the only guy on the team that could consistently hit 3’s, and the defense looked like shit without him. They have the roster flexibility with Durant to move on. Should have probably kept Brooks and moved Jabari.- NFL Wildcard Sunday: Bills at Jags, 49ers at Eagles, Chargers at Patriots

I can’t decide what what’s funnier. Brauny wanting to add a sunroof to his Elko sized head or Bama mods suggesting they turn Texas into SEC compliance. Happy Wild Card Weekend yall! - 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
