Come back and tell us where they signed and for how much.

I spoke with @immamac briefly last night and IIRC I believe that one of them represented Stroh LOL

Where is @Js1

I am extremely positive today.

I feel really good about our portal quest.

LFG! This is as positive as I’m likely to get.

Side note: I mentioned some of the comments here from those who have either met Harris or have interacted with those who have to my BMD this morning and my BMD said @immamac and @closetojumping are being far too kind in their assessments of Harris. Imbeciles never rest he said. 😂

Historically, conventional wisdom has said O-line is more “hit or miss” in the transfer portal than other positions. Is that still the consensus? If so, seems to me an O-line needy program would need to treat the position like a numbers game, bringing in as many as possible to up their odds

Harris still has a job, which means he's probably doing more or less what Sark wants him to do, even if that hurts the feelings of some agents

I spoke with two agents last night for a while at Chalmers. They showed me their text threads from Brandon Harris - each of these guys reps multiple players currently on the team or were on the team and are in the portal and were not from Lionheart.

What I saw was horrifying. They then proceeded to tell me for 10 minutes straight how much they fucking hate Brandon Harris and that their official opinion is that he is the worst GM all of college sports.

I share this opinion.

It has to be impossible to tell these young guys that there salary demands do not match their productivity. At the same time, if you and the agent are appalled at reading these things than there is a huge disconnect between what people think is being said and what is actually said. I get wanting to place this blame on Harris, but Sark enabled Harris to do and say whatever is said in these text messages. Educate Sark and CDC and give them the chance to fix it. Then give him them a few weeks. If nothing happens, give those same texts to Kirk Bohls who likes to incinerate anything Texas positive or negative.

I'm being intentionally vague, @RGBIII and I are lining up a whole fuckton of agents to talk to about this in the May/June timeframe when all the dust has settled a bit.

Stroh was one if the guys repped. Stroh is getting paid.

I think some of you need to understand that with revshare being at every P5 school the math has dramatically changed for people. You want to make fun of Trey Owens for going to Arkansas State, but he's gonna make well into 6 figures and probably more than most of you make with your "big boy" jobs next season.

I get the humor of calling everyone a JAG or saying shit like go be fat somewhere else etc, but it's real that these guys are making a bunch of money and are D1 level college athletes.

What we were trying to get started with a baseline for the rosters is a real thing now with revshare.

I’d probably lose any and all respect for anyone who willingly gives Bowels ammo to incinerate Texas. Don’t give him material for clicks

So did Sherrone Moore’s side piece just before the shit hit the fan. Maybe we’ve got a similar situation.

On top of that, I'm not exactly going to freak out about Harris not bringing his A game to conversations about retaining Connor Stroh or Trey Owens.

Sark is/was pimping out Loreal to WR recruits to distract from his affair with Brandon Harris?

okay, I am seated for this one!

This wasn't that. These guys rep a bunch of people not just a bunch of fucking guys that are being jettisoned. I think some of you need to understand that agencies are not some "only superstars represented" here type things and that mixed in with your Strohs you have guys that are your Goosby's

I question the long term economic analysis of trading a Texas degree with minimal comp for an Arkansas State degree with a few hundred K. I get that 20 year olds and their “agents” might make that decision, because math is hard.

Connor Stroh is quite possibly the worst offensive linemen to ever play football at Texas in my lifetime. My messages to his agent would probably read very poorly to a third party if I were communicating to him about his future. That’s not me excusing Harris which by all accounts sounds like an incompetent moron but would be more interested in hearing how he communicated to a Bo Barnes type of player.

If you and RGB are truly seeing a serious behavior issue, you need to figure out how to bring that to the attention of Sark, and if Sark isn’t seeing the issue, CDC.

He’s 19 or 20. Getting paid low six figures to live anywhere for 2 semesters would be the tits.

I imagine he has a good chance of starting. If he puts up decent numbers he can get paid in the portal next year.

If he plays above average for 1 or 2 years his degree won’t be from Arkansas State. He will be in the portal again

I’m so ready to believe everything an agent says. Can’t wait.

Owens did the exact right thing, minus the shitting on Texas on the way out. If he puts up big numbers at Arkansas State he could get someone to pay him a million or more dollars at the next school.

Many people who have encountered Harris are banking on a ninja like mutiny being assembled to successfully usurp him.

“Harris is a shitastic tsunami of Neolithic incompetence.” Direct quote from my BMD. He likes saying “Neolithic incompetence” a lot and I asked him if he got that from Beverly Hills Cop 2 and he was mum. Shit I hope I didn’t burn my connection 😂 just kidding, he lurks here a lot.

Well after much thought. I'd be OK with watching a game with the old man. I need Vodka and some good queso with fresh jalapenos. My Dad (hard man , Vietnam vet - Agent Orange skin issues - never heard much about this part of his life, Bama x2 grad, always told me I'd be lucky to live to his age 77, he's right on that one) is dead so I'd enjoy the visit. My son kinda hates me and I'm like you realize I'm the person that spoiled your ass with 1k of cool Nordstrom shit for Xmas and no thank you? Yea, get your own car.

Topic related, have we fired Flood yet? His Dad may just need a new opportunity? Can't be any worse and I bet he'd tear it up in practice.

It’s clear that GM is now the second most important role in the entire program.

It would frankly be inexcusable for a program of our caliber to not engage in a nationwide search to find the most competent person for the job.

There might have been a time when “GM” was simply a cushy title for someone more like a chief of staff to the head coach, but those days are gone.

Some of you really just are fucking idiots.

Correct. Everything has changed this year.

Most of these kids should be playing school, at least a little bit, because they won't be playing football after their eligibility runs out.

After hearing the golf story (Sark and the Ole Miss new HC) trying to evade Saban on the golf course while they were playing hooky (Saban admits he knew they were there but didn’t see Sark’s hole in one) and Saban saying he did have guys on his staff that were “smarter” about evading him (one such staffer now a HC himself would call golf courses ahead of time to find out where Saban would be and go to the other course.) harris, Flood and Banks as well as Sark all have this slick ass Persian Bazaar frat boy shit going on that reels worse than when Warehime allegedly clogged up a recruits toilet under Herman.

I know it's not going to happen but I would really love Kiffin to be left with no great options for a portal QB.

I need to see pics of chicks from Arkansas state before I can judge from my steel case series 1 work chair

You and Revolution are clowns. They read the damn text messages. This isn't a disgruntled Stroh agent. Harris and by extension Texas are burning bridges with agencies that rep multiple players because of how they are apparently treating people. This has the likelihood of spreading and may be an explanation as to why the Michigan kids returned for less money or we missed out keeping/retaining a few players.

We all understand the changing landscape of college football this year. I trust Imma and RGBIII when they report that the text messages are fucked. They aren't trusting anyone's opinions via conversation. They read the damn things.

I cannot see Sam Leavitt (great last name for portaling) if Miami offers turning that down. It’s Miami. Location alone over Baton Rouge. I wonder how much Lane’s spectacularly classless exit from ole Miss hurt him with recruits and portal transfers. Some obviously don’t care bc paycheck and all that but some actually might.

I will say that another industry guy that was there who will go unnamed said they are actively seeking other programs to journo for because of how negative the experience in Belmont is currently. Not just Harris.

Its a ticking time bomb I'm afraid.

This is a clown thread full of gossip and agendas. It's completely silly, so I treat it as such.

You can be super serious about it if you want. I choose to make fun.

We had him. His name was Billy Glascock.

Just helped Ole Miss build a semi-final team and best team (success wise) in school history

If agents are allowing bridges to get burned through this, they aren't serious agents

Tying this to the Michigan players staying put is a hilarious stretch

Which makes sense to pay 65-70 instead of 105.
