Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
If I never have to read another poster talk about "well in sales..." again it'll be too goddam soon.

Which of the players who has left are you thinking we're not going to be able to replace? Baxter? Wisner? Lefau? Moore? Livingstone? Washington seeing what's going on as far as his place on the depth chart and saying, "Welp, I'm outta here."? Kibble?

Agreed. So you're Moore and Baxter and you end up at... Kentucky? OK, cool, but is that really what you were envisioning? How much more are you really making and you're at Kentucky now. Lockett gets in the motherfucker. Great, now where are you going and for how much, actually? That "jerry jones" comment with a like from Baxter is actually kind of encouraging. It indicates a plan and a process, which are two very good things to have in a time of chaos. Even a weak plan is better than none.

Offer 'em what you think they're worth, who cares what their motivation is? Worst they can do is say no.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
The tech gods are actually thin-skinned freaks, so he might actually be if he ever found out. In which case, lol ... rofl in fact- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
I'm not flooded with confidence that this is true.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
I agree completely! The problem for you, however, is that I'm an idiot. Or less. Perhaps a lot less. I know less than nothing so that isn't me making some super-secret statement about anything happening in the real world, but it's not hard to imagine that a large staff of scouts working for a major university actually does have big spreadsheets and databases full of talent observations and at least halfway-decent understandings of what those different pieces cost? I know smaller schools have this because I've had a very enthusiastic young man working for an AAC's recruiting section open his laptop and show me the mind-boggling amount of HS and CFB scouting report information available to them. I don't recall seeing costs tied to the names within the programs he showed me, but that's trivial information to find for these guys, and he's G5. We're staring at his laptop in the stands at a high school game and I'm throwing names out and he's pulling up stupid amounts of information and showing me flowcharts of target lists, both at the HS and CFB levels. Maybe at Texas we've got the scene from Moneyball where old codgers have rolls of butcher paper up on walls and Sharpies talking about how good a certain guy looks in uniform on the VHS tape or something, but I doubt it. If we're telling Bo Barnes to take a paycut, that cannot logically be because we have any doubt at all about replacing him at less than his current cost (ignoring, of course, the vital importance his recruiting ranking had on Surly posters' moods when he signed). Nothing else can make sense. We're too successful to be less functional than some 20-something semi-volunteer at a G5 school. Might we have those advanced tools and still be very stupid and misread the situation? Well yeah. Furk.- Lane Kiffin to LSU?

We were just making headway in figuring all this madness out until you came in with your irrelevant chicanery. For shame.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
Nothin less than 16 hands, I don't wanna drag my feet Anything more small than that, it ain't worth the feed it takes- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
I don't think that list is in order of need. If so, OL not being #1 is the real issue.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
