  1. I mean, A&M has a DC that killed a player through negligence.
  2. It will be interesting, because their collective is probably shit but like the McKernans or Maruccis or Hollingsworths or whoever have been the big donors for the bags before probably won't want to do a whole salary, year in, year out (baseball seems like an exception?)
  3. Louisiana the state may be broke, but there are plenty of rich individuals that'll boost sports. That's the case for most of the Southeast. Also I'd be willing to bet that if they funneled hospital funds through a hospital for a guard, they've done worse for like, Ryan Perriloux. My high school basketball coach's Dad was his lawyer when he kept getting in legal trouble and Nathan Fisher wasn't cheap. Nathan would also bring Perriloux to our games for some reason. Dude was swagged out in some pretty nice clothes that I don't think he bought in Reserve.
  4. lol really wasn't looking for the numbers or any specifics, was just wondering what the negotiations looked like mechanically in the current era with all parties operating above board. I don't care how much he made, I'm glad we closed the deal.
  5. Noted! Was merely asking for the hypothetical mechanics of such things, and not for any specific details here.
  6. I am interested, given how insistent (and I do believe it to be true) we are on being legal and by the book, how we "sweetened" the offer the last few days. If this is verboten, then just neg me and I'll move on. I give $10 a month to the One Fund and Burnt Ends from out here in VA. Wish I could give more.
  7. "It's not about straight up recruiting" coming from an LSU guy is very funny to me. Jai Eugene called Lloyd Carr after flipping from Michigan to LSU in 2007 and told him that he wanted to go to Michigan but that LSU offered his family too much money to pass up. It was reported in the Advocate (Baton Rouge paper).
  8. Just show it on the fucking field and I can finally have some peace.
  9. Is it dead because of lack of money or potential legal troubles (or some more hilarious reason)
  10. I took critical race theory in law school and am down to continue this conversation until Thursday.
  11. Guess my point is proven then. Though I lived across the lake from the LSU campus and went to high school at ULab and didn't know BR was majority black til after I had left to go to UT.
  12. Baton Rouge is a majority black city (53.4% black per 2020 census) but you wouldn't know that sticking to the area around the LSU campus. The town is very segregated. The football players and other athletes interact a lot with girls from Southern U (which is also in BR). I'd bet the black population at LSU is probably similar to UT though, at least % wise (bear in mind that UT is twice the size of LSU, and Austin like like 4x the size of BR). I do not care for Baton Rouge whatsoever, having lived there for five years and gone to high school on the LSU campus, but the black football players are pretty damn comfy there. I also do not think Austin wins a "diversity" argument against Baton Rouge. Austin is 6.9% black. That all being said, I highly doubt that is determinative of him going there at all. It's like the guy asking Bobby Burton on the IT Livestream if the A&M journalism school thing would affect A&M's ability to recruit black players.
  13. I guess. Anecdotal but I've lived on the East Coast for 12 years now and most people I deal with know UT and couldn't tell you where A&M is.
  14. I will never understand why "What if Mississippi State was weirder but had more money" is considered a sleeping giant, but you'll never see me complain when they get made fun of for wasting their money.
  15. So how're we feeling if we miss on Simmons but land McKinley, Black, Wingo, and Mack
  16. I feel like y'all are going way too far into Nahlin here. Gerry hasn't moved, and he's not the stubborn catty bitch that Nahlin can sometimes be. If the LSU guys were more confident, then they'd all be pouring in from the whole industry because the LSU guys would be telling others. That said, if @Wulaw Horn is who I think he is then he probably knows more than me.
  17. I clicked on the link (neg away) because they tweeted that Liucci was gonna be on there, and Liucci couldn't figure out how to put his camera right side up, so it was going well. Liucci also said that the Texas and A&M would "split" Colin Simmons and Kobe Black when I was listening.
  18. Hill wasn't a straight flip though, right? He decommitted and waited a few weeks.
  19. One of the many internet things that is burned into my brain for the rest of time is Ryan Brauninger posting some bullshit about Malik Jefferson possibly flipping before signing day because he said something like "good for them" w/r/t the hiring of John Chavis, and some Aggie idiot responding "flip a sip is my favorite game." Otaro Alaka is the only straight flip they've had in like, 10 years, right?
  20. Think he was the lowest rated of that crew, too. I remember when he committed and Higdon was saying how much of a steal he was. Ah, memories.
  21. Wilbon was a solid rotation player for years and graduated I think.
  22. This is the guy that Herman called a bitch for decommitting from him at Houston, yeah?
