  1. If I'm in charge of each conference: ACC: Getting Notre Dame is pretty much a do or die proposition. Gotta go all in on them, give them what they want. Imo the ACC can survive all this but they need ND. If they get ND, they could then go poach 3 others - I'd go for TCU, UH, and WVU, Cincy, or UCF. That would be a good conference. SEC: I don't really think this changes much tbh. SEC is still easily the top dog with the TX/OU additions. If some ACC schools are interested, cool, but no need to do anything. Big 10: Go for ND, Oregon, and UW, in that order. (as a fan, I hate the addition of West Coast teams but whatever) Could also look at Cincy, WVU, Kansas. Pac / Big 12: Have to merge together. Probably too many schools to do that now which is where the ACC poaching a few Big 12 schools could actually be mutually beneficial. Pretty much no way they can catch the other 3 at this point, but they could remain relevant by merging.
  2. I still refuse to believe Oregon and Phil Knight get left out of all this.
  3. It’s Twitter silly season again. Be careful out there.
  4. Yeah this is objectively way worse that TX/OU going to the sec. Culturally, geographically, everything.
  5. I kinda disagree. Having the non-traditional schools in the conferences is part of the fun of college sports. College football is pretty much just becoming a minor league sport with nothing special/unique about it.
  6. This kinda sucks as a neutral fan of the game. Mega-conferences are gonna be lame af
  7. Can't believe Phil Knight would get left out of this. PAC-Big12 merger gotta be the next step.
  8. Agree. It’s funny to see but not enough to do anything on
  9. Final predictions for today?? My guess is Cook
  10. I wonder how much the Saban/Kiffin publicity has impacted atm’s payments. We all justifiably laugh at the NCAA but getting the spotlight shined on you so much has gotta cause some boosters to hesitate a bit.
  11. Seems like Cook and Stewart are friends and Cook suddenly dropped atm out of his top 3, so that might be a data point on how Stewart feels about atm.
  12. Three more? Who could that even be? I guess the likely one still left are Cook and Gullette. Maybe Muhammad, Hill, or Shelby?
  13. Would guess him or Walton. Given our newfound proclivity for 3-stars I’ll guess Walton *ducks*
  14. Tbh I get it, but you have to remember that this is a relatively weak instate OL class and we just pulled a monster 7-person class. We were never going to repeat that along the OL this year. If we start taking bready WRs I’d be more concerned but that doesn’t seem to be happening.
  15. So we have 1 or 2 more based on Pickerings tweets right? Hoping for Gullette or Cook.
  16. Mitchell just got two Bama CBs on on3 too
  17. I would REALLY like to see Gulette or Cook pull the trigger next. Both have a large number of recent CBs to the good guys
  18. I’m guessing: stroh cojoe Gulette wilson Cook (but wont go public right away so kinda meaningless)
  19. Is that 5 now from Pickering? With Liona possibly being one leaving 4-5 yet to go public? (Assuming this isn’t bs)
  20. It sounds like rates have already gone up across the board since they locked down that 22 class too. Which makes sense bc all of a sudden tons of other schools are entering the all-out bidding wars. TN giving $8 mil to one guy for example and Louisville driving up prices. Because of that, A&M is probably going to have to re-bid for all of those mercenaries at much higher rates. That’s gonna get expensive. I do find it interesting that they were so silent in the transfer market. Maybe out of cash or maybe just banking on the freshmen.
  21. I’m a bit surprised we’d take some of these pledges too. Stroh and Cojoe are massive and fit Floods size queen-ness, but both low ranked and have the offer lists to match those rankings. It does seem like a weak year for in state OLs though and given the class we just pulled, probably ok to take some flyers. Wilson got a tOSU offer this year and they know WRs, so I’ll trust the coaches there.
