    It's pretty obvious we have one of the best NIL programs in the country based on the transfers and recruits we're landing. RT definitely deserves some credit for that though because it looks like over the summer he was rubbing elbows with the type of people that give you money. 

    I'm not sure any individual school NIL program really matters for basketball recruits like Tre or Cooper Flag. Guys like that are getting their coffers filled by a much larger scale of vendors who are ultimately all hoping to secure their services when they go pro. Basketball is a lot different than football due to the enhanced level of certainty you get with top prospects.

  2. And for those wondering, yhe difference between Tre and Ron Holland is Tre and family will keep Rodney Terry and Texas in the loop. Rodney coached Tre's father and has maintained that relationship. A decision to go to the Gleague won't come of nowhere like it did with Ron. On top of that, Holland's last year to 6 months saw his profile change tremendously. Some saw him as the best player in the class after the McDonald's practice and game.  Tre has always been among the top 1,2,3, or 4 players in his class so the Gleague advances aren't going to change much between now and when he has to make a decision like that while the opposite was true with Holland.

  3. On top of getting a national schedule I think Tre (Richard Johnson the 3rd) chose Link academy specifically as a result of the state of Missouri's NIL allowances for high school students once they fill out scholarship papers.

    Same here man. I wish the move was for football only. Id love to keep the basketball team in the Big 12.

  5. Quinn's biggest issue is he's relatively unrefined. All his injuries in high school combined with losing that year of play really stunted his progress. Also going from a spread, binary, this-or-that system to Sark's full field read system is a pretty big hurdle and I'm starting to believe Sark has picked up on the fact that Texas high school QBs have issues going from a spread to his system. Hence the pattern of not recruiting Texas high school QBs sans Troy Owens who just so happened to play in more of a full field system at CY-Fair.

    I can't wait until Sark gets a real QB under center and all of you realize how fucking ridiculous this babying and apologizing is for this JAG. 

    Teams run dime packages against Quinn because they know he isn't good enough to beat them. He doesn't read shit. He doesn't throw guys open. He has a nice completion % because he checks the ball down all the time. 

    The sooner we move on from this guy the sooner y'all are going to realize that Sark knows what he's doing. I hope it starts this weekend. 

    He's currently averaging 9 yards/attempt

    There was a double reverse flee flicker earlier in this game where 2 Penn St pass catchers were running side by side within 2 yards of each other. Meanwhile on the other side of the field Ryan Day is able to scheme up the most dangerous WR in all of college football into multiple plays where he is wide ass open catching the ball in full sprint. A decent QB and offensive coaching staff would have Penn St up at least 10 to 15 points with the defense they're fielding today.  

    Like I  said.

    Where are the offensive weapons on Penn State.  I see no speed on the perimeter.  

    How can we even tell, they're running 5 yard stop routes every other play. They took a WR from Kent St in the portal who was supposedly better than that UNC WR who finally started playing a couple games ago.    

  10. Penn St is a QB and a chance taking coach away from having a championship level team.  One thing that we take for granted while playing in the Big 12 is how little risk aversion affects big games.  Once Bob Stoops joined the conference,  consistent success in high leverage conference games depended on how many chances your HC was willing to take.  It was something that really hurt Mack early on against OU until he finally stopped playing scared. 

    Coaches in the Big10 and SEC are more inclined to approach games like old school NFL coaches with a don't lose it mentality. James Franklin has already punted twice from mid field and his trash ass QB combined with 1980s playcalling had no chance of directing a successful 2 minute drill to end the half.

    I think he means just bringing the lawsuit generally.   It was an incredibly idiotic business decision by Cumulus that was obvious day 1.   Not only "going after the little guy" but allowing dirty laundry to air (Cumulus/Bennet pitting Bob against Dan, forcing non-competes on essentially minimum wage employees, etc.).   I know it won't happen but really just wish Cumulus would sell the station.   It's a tough business model for any company in current times but I think this entire debacle showed Cumulus is (i) particularly shitty and (ii) clueless and never understood the asset they have if they thought starting this litigation was a good idea.  Given Jake and Dan appear to be able to podcast starting tomorrow free and clear, they didn't even succeed in scaring future employees from challenging their non-competes in a similar fashion.  Good job good effort.

    It's a bit of revisionist history to look back in hindsight and claim this was an idiotic business decision on the part of Cumulus. Cumulus was conducting business as usual when they filed this lawsuit. They were wholly unaware that their entire business operating world had shifted beneath their feet. We can go back a few pages within this thread and see that the majority of posters believed the truly stupid participants in this battle were Dan and Jake. Gotta hand it to Dan and Jake, they slayed goliath. It's good to know people, notably a policy guru who formerly worked for the National Labor Relations board. I'm betting that in some ways Cumulus was correct in their claims. Dan and Jake probably were planning this for much longer than we think. They've been really tight with Bruenig for years.

    Again, what are these horrible stereotypes Deion is perpetrating? Is he robbing stores or some shit? If it’s just that he’s brash and wears jewelry and talks like someone from the south I don’t see how he’s doing something awful.

    Another thing… he’ll hype himself and his team up all day long. But you NEVER hear him badmouth their opponents this year, before or after a game. Every coach sans sonny has done that to CU, he’s done it to none of them. Yet no one has criticized any of the opposing coaches.

    It's hard coded into American culture to reflexively view anything done by black people as something bad. Be it music (ie jazz, rock, rap), dress, hairstyle, or manner of speaking, if it's done by black people the initial default setting is to view it with derision as a function of American DNA. Paradoxically this taboo also causes intrigue and wonder as well.
