  1. Perhaps Barnes is a casualty of a new DC for whatever reason? Either way, I'm interested to see if Muschamp is about to make a splash in the portal. The Rutgers CB seems like a very good start.
  2. If I were an agent the first schools I would contact about my player would be us, a&m, and tech. Then go from there.
  3. I disagree. IOL has been a problem for a while.
  4. If you have a matching offer at a major P2 program, why would you play guard or center for Kyle Flood? Is there any doubt the consistent underperformance on our interior since Sark has been here is being highlighted by those recruiting against us? I guess we will see how things shake out but it seems we are likely forced to overpay for these interior guys. The question is, are we even able to with what the rest of the line is getting paid? Priority #1 is Goosby. Surely he has to be the highest paid player in that room. Sark made a complete mess on the OL and instead of going all the way to fixing it by firing his loyalist Flood, he has chosen to fix it solely in the portal. Seems like a bad spot to me.
  5. Demond Williams is at least gonna get 5m right?
  6. When you shoot a shot and dont hit the target, thats called a miss.
  7. Prayers indeed. Hate to hear it. Thanks for the update.
  8. Part of me has grown up and hopes he’s just getting some decent money before his State Farm career kicks off. The other part hopes he shreds his knee trying to waterski in blue jeans on the Chattahoochee.
  9. Is it true Indiana offered Alan Jagson 800k? I find that hard to believe, but if true I’m not sure how that jives with the idea that they are operating on some high level in the portal.
  10. Managing the portal is a combination of herding cats and unlocking a door in the dark where you have to feel around to find the lock, hope you have the right key, all while not being 100% sure you’re even trying to open the right door. Information works differently in these situations. It’s mostly smoke and mirrors and the ground is always moving beneath you. It’s a fools errand to try to report information that seems accurate, and it’s even dumber to try to follow moment by moment with the expectation that reading something is even current by the time it reaches you. Bobby and Gerry have to participate because their business model requires it. They’re at the mercy of coaches, staff, parents, players, and agents that are all jostling for position and willing to put false information out if it benefits them in the negotiation. The best they can do is constantly hedge, but that’s not what their paying subscribers are looking for. I got to see the inside of a high profile WR negotiation a few years ago. It was such a shitshow I didn’t have much interest in the process after that. A donor personally managed the negotiation with the agent, made what he thought was a winning offer, was told by the agent the deal was done and to send the paperwork, and 20 minutes later the player had signed with another school for one notch above our offer. I’m sure that happens all the time, so there’s not much use in “confidence levels” and “gut feelings”.
  11. I dont understand why everyone is acting like we are out of it. We have a great pitch for him. He's in the due diligence/seeking higher offers stage.
  12. Gerry mentioned earlier, he doesnt think Texas is going to give out any market setting offer that exceeds how much our best players are currently getting. How much is Marcel Reed getting?
  13. Hopefully this is the part where they agree on a number, ags get all excited that its happening, and he calls us and says here's the new number, send me the e-signature.
  14. Smothers to Bama should help us with Raleek Brown you would think.
