Some schools pay up front for elite recruits. That is known, but probably not as frequent as we imagine. I think that, if anything, some alumni pay for on field performance, which can still play a factor in the recruiting process.

The fact that you mention Georgia as being one of the best programs in college football is proof that paying players is a pretty smart idea.

Georgia is the new Texas circa 2002-2009. They have to have elite talent, and buckets full of it, because Smart is one of the worst game day coaches in college football.

Naivar started following Jadarius Clark. https://247sports.com/Player/Bud-Clark-46051630/

I was wondering if we would eventually show interest here. This kid is a special athlete. 4.4 40 and 4.1 shuttle at TCU's camp this weekend.

Those are some eye catching numbers. More from that 247 link:

HFB Top Performers: TCU July 26 Skills Camp

By Jeremy Clark Sun Jul 28 2019

TCU held their final mini-camps of the summer on Friday. The morning session consisted of offensive/defensive linemen, linebackers, tight ends and running backs while the skills session featured quarterbacks, receivers and defensive backs.

Over 300 prospects combined made their way to the Fort Worth campus. As we’ve done all summer, HornedFrogBlitz was there to catch the action and spot the players that stood out (in HFB’s opinion). Let’s take a look at the players that stood out from the evening session.

ALPHA DOG

Bud Clark | DB – The defensive back out of Louisiana had the attention from the entire coaching staff on Friday with his exceptional play. Clark ran a 4.4 forty and a 4.19 shuttle, which was among the best at the camp. In all the camps I've attended this spring/summer including The Opening, Under Armour and previous TCU camps, Clark was the smoothest in drills; he made back pedaling and turning his hips look effortless; it looks like he's gliding. He locked down several receivers in the 1-on-1 portion of the camp as well which didn't come as a surprise after watching him through various drills. If TCU wanted to get a closer look at a receiver prospect, the coaches made sure it was Clark that the receivers had to beat.

Had buddies that played at TCU that got $$$ for on field performance from alumni/boosters, also had buddies that played for Texas that received some impermissible benefits from boosters (Vegas trip was the big one).

Not sure when it's going to happen, but Jerrin Thompson is in.

C’mon, TARS! C’mon, TARS!

It’s like you didn’t take what I wrote yesterday morning about Thompson, Thompson and Robinson seriously at all. You’re losing your literalness as a bot or not trusting the right sources on the intel.

Someone more adept at such will hopefully do so. That’s hilarious.

My favorite scene in the movie, and one of my favorite scenes of all time, actually only involves audio of him. When Matty McC pilots in to save the space station as it descends in wreckage towards the ice planet - the score, the acting, the premise, just fucking greatness. It’s also the scene with the actual “C’mon, TARS!” dialogue occurs.

I haven’t looked up previous years, but it really seems like Clemson, UGA, LSU, tOSU, and Bama have a chance to have the 5 total highest composite scores ever in a single class. 

4 of them are already higher than our #3 class last year, and they could all potentially eclipse 300 points. That also means we could land a class almost identical in score to last year's class and finish 6th instead of 3rd.

From spurstalk, Biggins on his Bijan pick.

Biggins from the West Coast talks about his Texas pick for RB Bijan Robinson (24/7😞

"Man you guys are fast! Was just coming over to explain the CB. I'm sure it was already explained here but it was a big surprise for everyone when Ohio State fell out of the race for Bijan, he was basically a silent there for weeks. Texas was the No. 2 choice for him after OSU. After talking to one of the schools on his short list as well as someone fairly close to his recruitment, things look good for UT right now. Lets see if he follows through and announces on the 2nd, if he does, I feel good about Texas, if he delays it, then all bets are off."

Hope the Bijan momentum continues tomorrow and Thursday morning. It's hard to get a read on a kid who doesn't have a Twitter, but that's probably for the best anyway.  I'd feel a lot worse if any of his CB's were to USC, but being either foggy, Texas, or OSU assuages my concerns about the Trojans.  Hopefully he knows how much we could use him.
