    Beyond all of that, I will stand by what I’ve been saying for 6 months after digging into it and talking to people who cover this stuff with depth - the dark market (bag game) will dissipate over time if the right amount of money is an alternative to point to in a legitimate market (NIL). That will take a cycle or two to be proven true, so folks won’t have to wait too long to call me an idiot if the bag game isn’t relegated to a corner case issue for shitbirds by the 2024/2025 classes. 

    I guess I'd buy more into the recruit bag-game significantly dissipating if 100% of these kids were able to sign-on and start reeling in NIL cash while still in HS.
    In 3-5 years (or whatever) when every power 5 program [that matters] has an NIL program running that nearly mirrors the rest after they've all copy-catted each other to oblivion, that's still the perfect environment for the bag game, because an advantage is needed. If a recruit is down to three schools, each with NIL deals that would guarantee him $500-700K as soon as he enrolls, does that stop him from wanting and taking $100K while he's still in HS? Unless part of this new NIL era includes a far more strict crack down on the underground recruiting market, then I don't see why bags are still not an open avenue. Basically: nothing with the NIL has made it more advantageous for a recruit to not also take money under the table.
    Now sure, every couple of years or so a university will come up with some revolutionary NIL idea that will give them an advantage with their recruits, but when every other university is doing it by the next year (or two), the advantage has expired.
    Now of course, the need to continue bagging these guys through college significantly goes down.
    Also, I can accept that maybe I'm missing something here, and will acknowledge that from what I know about you (and some others on here), y'all probably talk to a few more smarter people than I do. So I'm willing to listen to what I'm missing.

    Who the staff? They've had dog shit communication with the forms of help they desperately need. NIL and recruiting needs to be running red hot. A big part of that is the $$$ guys being engaged properly. Sark doesnt have to be Mack Brown but he has to actually try hard. 

    I mean yah, to all of that shit, but that doesn't change the fact that it's not really the current staff's doing on why they're "relying on the portal" this offseason. Or they can just settle for the stuff that was already on campus, I guess. 

    This reaping is from so many different angles and eras. It's so overwhelming. 

  3. Ok St has had the 79th and 46th best defenses during Knowles first 2 years. Last year they were 14th and this year 2nd.
    This defense starts ALL 4th and 5th year players. If you'd like to have a great defense every 3-4 years, this guy's your dude.

    So you’re saying that he took over the 90th ranked defense, and by his 2nd yr had them 46th, then 14th, and then 2nd? Yah, I don’t know how well it’d work out here -because apparently none of the numbers matter after what we’ve seen with PK this year - but if you wouldn’t sign up for that rapid of an improvement then I dunno what’s gunna satisfy you, ffs!

    -Texas currently ranks 105th our of 130 FBS teams in Opp Pts/G at 32.4ppg

    -They are currently allowing 439 yards per game 

    -They are currently allowing 6.1 yards per play 

    -This vaunted rush defense that PK has coached so well is allowing over 200 rushing yards per game (5.1 per carry) (There are only 17 teams allowing more per game)

    -Good thing the pass defense is so awesome allowing a 67.5% completion percentage. For reference this % would be the 18th highest in the country if thrown by a single passer (There are only ten teams with a worse completion% against)

    There I showed my work and I am still rage typing on the keyboard. Just cause I am pissed doesn't mean I don't know what the fuck I am talking about. Any you should be fucking pissed too. This may be your standard but it isn't mine

    ....is that bad?
