I'm sure aggy will still recruit fairly well based on $ but I think @closetojumpingput it best. A lot of people really underestimated how good of a recruiter Jimbo was. A disaster of a coach but that guy was an elite recruiter. 

Top 5 was his ceiling and top 10 was his floor. I'm far from sold that Elko's ceiling in recruiting is top 5.

Don't discount how scrappy his bunch will be.

Key notes from Recruiting Country

  • We don’t know how Mike Elko is as a recruiter at a place like this as a head coach. He has run the roads more now. For anybody to come up with a narrative about what kind of recruiter he is or isn't up to this point because of what you think you know, that is preemptive. It's shortsided. We don’t know yet. We have a good idea. He is organized and running the roads like crazy.
     
  • Hard working is the No. 1 attribute I can give to him right now. In terms of how effective he is, we will wait and see. The organizational structure is much different than what Jimbo Fisher had rolling. He has a portal guy, a high school guy, a general manager and directors of player personnel. It is very structured.
     
  • Getting the ball to the finish line is important. It is a mad scramble. That is the best way to describe it.

I wonder what percentage of recruits that are inflated by Rivals end up being failures? I'm going with 9/10. 

TJ Shanahan might still be one of the funniest Rivals evaluation in history. A top 40 recruit that nobody wanted. Fucking incredible.

Melko apparently ate most of the coffee cake and just sat there eating and heavily breathing while whichever assistant that was with him spent the entire meeting talking shit about Florida.

Please tell me this is real. I now have this vision that Elko is the equivalent of a truffle pig during in home visits.

One thing we can be sure of about Mike Elko is that he doesn't take his pancakes short-stacked.

I just love the cries from the Ags that something must be done to sync the portal window to better fit programs that just fired their coaches. None of the coaches and at best 20% of ADs (the ones that know they’ll be firing their coach) want that.

  • With the current state of NIL and the current recruiting calendar, something has to change, probably on both fronts. This may be a hot take. I think the way NIL is currently structured is a house of cards. It is coming down. I don't know when or how. I think it will topple down soon. It cannot last.
     
  • People were upset with Deshaun Watson's contract in the NFL because it changed the market from quarterbacks. The owners of NFL teams are all working under the same financial restrictions. There is some fair play. In college football, you have 65 Power 5 teams who have no intention of working together to find common ground. You have different laws in every state.

This is chinpubes, right? Holy shit the balls on him to type that after what A&M did in 2022.

It's pretty much him admitting aggy has a shitty NIL program and they just straight up bought players. Like everyone has said on this board. 

"Bags don't beat bankrolls" thread title is such a great name because it's proving to be 100% true.

Guy who earns money to write. Presumably a college graduate. Fumbles the meaning of the first hilighted word and shoots himself in his shortsided dick with the second.

The last sentence suggests lack of sleep and drug abuse.

You gotta complete the pass, get over the hump! Buck up! Tighten your chinstrap and put on your big boy pants because it's a free-for-all on Hell's Highway! Anybody's game and it could go either way! Keep your eye on the ball and your hands out of your pants!

I hope we get a 30 for 30 some day that chronicles the fall after signing the greatest recruiting class in history.
Now they are begging for jags from Old Dominion, Youngstown State, and K State.
Make it a comedy and have Benny Hill music to accompany.

What kind of situation will he have in Gainesville? He may have a really nice bedroom and a house that is on fire. If things don't go well, is Billy Napier fired? I am not speculating on this. These are things that are being talked about among top Florida media members. As of this morning, I put on the site I did not have a quarterback update. I thought if Lagway visited anywhere this weekend, it would be Florida.

aggy is characterizing FLORIDA as a house on fire?!?  Look in the mirror, dumbass.

Yep, aggy “NIL” certainly is in a state of complete collapse.
