  1. SMU fans are saying that the legal troubles he had here haven't been fully resolved.
  2. I'm sorry, what? Did they physically move USC to Texas back in April? Guessing it's meant to read Texas both times? Even then saying a program took a "major step in that [geography]" makes no fucking sense. I'm too baked for this
  3. I mean, all of our 9.95ers knew that Ryan Watts was going to Texas days before his name entered the portal (more than 48 hours in fact if I remember right) and to my knowledge Watts never committed to Joseph/Gideon at either OU or OSU since neither coached at those places. Hall apparently got suspended for shopping around before he actually entered the portal, and considering we were always the favorite it's hard to see how we didn't contact both of these dudes illegally. Or more accurately "technically" legally on our part, but also true on a lot of the other schools parts too. I do think we're chicken shit still though when it comes to tampering relatively. I really wish we just poached a freshman AA OT or DE or LB or something from like a Wake Forest. We really could have recruited better options into the portal and we chose not to for whatever reason.
  4. Any reason our NIL collectives didn't do the same (or else I'd hope we'd do better than guys like Hall)? Like getting Devonte Gordon (Freshman All-American at RT for Wake). Or a guy like Gentry out of ASU. Seems like there were definitely guys we could have recruited to the portal and didn't. Not saying we'd bat 1.00, but I have trouble believing USC is able to tamper this well and that we're just that dogshit at it
  5. I don't see anything about HWH paying dudes 100k though. I have seen people say that about CFC
  6. If that's the case why have we had plenty of people (both on here and in the media) quoting the 100k figure since it launched? I remember CTJ even responding that the goal was to eventually get the fund large enough to where each dude is basically almost making NFL minimum. This is the first I've heard anything about large one off deals. I know you're involved in all of it so I'm not questioning the accuracy, I'm just confused. Doesn't seem like it'd help if we have people in media telling everyone 100k and then recruits/players finding out that's not true (even if the one off deal is worth more). Of course thanks for all your work with the NIL stuff!
  7. We're pursuing Mathis (3ish posts before yours), not Coleman. Different TCU DE.
  8. So I guess I'll ask... why exactly is Crawford a safety? Dude seemed to have a ton of potential at corner and you figure you'd want his speed there. Is it just a case of us having more bodies to throw at corner than we do at safety? That'd be fair, but the way IT writes it Crawford is apparently definitely a safety (and always has been!). I know IT has a tendency of "Every high school OT is really a guard at the next level and every corner is really a safety" so I didn't know if this was more of that or if there was more.
  9. Jesus this thread is a fucking beating. I know, "first time?" Outside of the OLine haul, what players do y'all expect to get early playing time? I wouldn't be shocked if some of the EE DL guys were in the two deep or close to it. For guys we don't have that we may have by this time next week, thoughts on Brooks and Harris? In terms of early playing time. Seems like Barron showed some flashes late in the year plus Jamison returning, but it's not exactly like we have Jalen Ramsey back there. I figure a ton of these guys will get looks just because we lack any proven stars outside of Bijan and Worthy obviously, just wondering who y'all think will contribute early, whether that be because of lack of depth, early enrollment, or whatever. Guessing more than likely we won't have any idea until May-ish when Spring practice and the portal situation has been settled for the most part. Just figured I'd try discussing recruiting rather than... whatever the fuck this shit is
  10. I read Gerry's update about the Banks news differently. I read it as "A&M asking Banks to push back his decision should make you feel good, because it means they know they don't lead for him." And that was before he decided to push it back. Regardless, we still have the in-home to sell him on signing ESD so no worries.
  11. I remember Arizona fans absolutely hating Yates as their DC. How has he been as the DB coach for the Ducks/Cal the last few years? Figure he's one of the dudes who's a good position coach but garbage coordinator, but someone else would know more obviously. Remember OSU fans hating Kerry Coombs as their DC at the beginning of this year especially, but he's obviously a great DB coach. Guessing a similar situation with Yates
  12. So uh.. why is that "deleted" Brandon Harris tweet showing up embedded differently and why is it dated December 6 since it's still the 5?
