We are still very early into building out funds for each position. I'd assume this time next year there will be a DB specific fund in the open. 

I'd argue DL be the next group. Trenches are most important positions on teams. 


*Also noting that the above is just a suggestion prior to CTJ/Sydney ripping my head off about providing a check.

5-7. Best not to discuss the rest. 

[mantis toboggan 850]

Is it correct then that we can put 4 million together for Ewers but not a match amount for Harris?

[Red Five 40877]

How much money are we talking about here? Let me get my checkbook.

Kind of curious what we’re doing at WR. We’re not really going to just sign Thompson on NSD1 are we?

I think the problem is that their “handlers” put a lot of pressure on them to stick to their commitment because they lose money/a role in the process otherwise.

Looch was the one that pulled $4MM out of his ass, have yet to see anyone cite figures other than people simple parroting Billy. And beyond Looch and his parrots, think the only other person to purport that we lured Ewers with a multi-million deal was Fat Ketch (believe his words were "first round money").

Given the two current sources around this topic, I remain skeptical and view it as simply rumors at this point.

One last big swing at Stewart (likely won't work) then portal would be my guess. Works for me, last thing we need is more JAG freshmen WRs.

FWIW, IT said they aren't pushing for Decoldest so they have some sort of plan there...

i mean, the position of QB is significantly more valuable - both to companies that are investing NIL $ and in visibility/importance to the team.

add in that Ewers has 38k followers on twitter and 117k on insta and Harris has like 6k / 10k and you can do the math. they are absolutely not equal in either NIL dollars

(for comparison, bijan has 19k followers on twitter and 111k on instagram)

 

[mantis toboggan 850]

I think the point of the question is whatever the amount is that is lined up for Ewers, it seems could be done for Harris if we wanted to.

For fuck sakes with the semantics. Why did we not match with legal ways to entice recruits. 
 

barbacoa has indicated a inside knowledge of this recruitment and said he was ours if we matched. Why not is the question 

You should make it happen yourself, hero. Just fucking whip it up for everyone to witness over the next few days. Just start snapping necks and cashing checks, boss!

Barbacoa has mentioned this before - but the money wasn't there.  Any excitement there might have been with the people needed to make those sorts of payments was extinguished by 5-7.  

Recent NIL activities are providing new avenues - but it still requires time & effort to set up that infrastructure and then convince those people to write checks.

Exactly.

NIL takes time. this happened 5 months ago, and users of this board have so far been able to put together lucrative deals for 2 position groups. It just takes time.

Just think about the absurdity that denizens of a fucking Internet message board actually did anything of material value and then put it on steroids and have far more in the works beyond that. It’s not all Surly by any stretch, but that we’re even dealing cards at the table is somewhat stunning and absurd.

At least for the next 2-3 years it will come down to cash in hand vs promise. 

Sooner than that in which things tilt. Some players already can show legit and legal cash in hand as a proof of NIL working for players on campus to anyone on a recruiting visit.

Ya'll know better than me but when I started to think 4mil would be bonkers I checked myself. I wonder what it's going to do to alumni giving when money goes to NIL funds instead of the athletic department -- directly influencing results on the field instead of indirect spending on facilities. Super cool that you fellas working Clark Field are on the cutting edge of a whole new world.

I’m sure he also made up the $15M/year or whatever was offered by LSU to show the recruits how dedicated Jimbo was.  Must be nice to have the “press” help recruiting vs our slapdicks making everything more difficult.

How many years were our recruiting classes designated to be heavy on skill players and weak in the trenches? Not the case this year, sucks to miss on Harris, Stewart, and likely Perkins but I find it hard to be too upset about it. Hopefully some magic happens in the portal.

Pretty sure that figure came from some random poster on texaggy talking out their ass..

But there could be some truth to it, idk. No matter the real amount, Ewers about to make an insane amount of $ for a kid that hasnt even turned 19 yet

[Octavian 1025]

DBrown just posted some interesting stuff to his Instagram stories:

1. said next commitment is coming today

2. Someone asked if it was a WR and he put a smirk emoji

3. Someone asked about Harold Perkins playing on the 40 and he decided to include  it, no text though

4. Someone replied to him saying they would commit if Hayes would finish this person’s edit 

5. Someone asked if Evan was going to flip and he responded saying “ask Quinn”

If these kids were smart, they'd take aggy bag money and then commit to UT for the NIL money.
 
 

From what I understand, the entire sum isnt upfront...a good portion of it depends on signing and sending in a LOI.

Roach put in an aggy pick for Harris and an OU pick for McKinzie. Both relatively low confidence though (4 and 5 respectively).

I can't imagine a low confidence Roach pick has anything of substance behind it.

Ewers? Check. Williams? Check. 

Agbo and Brice are Wednesday. I’ve not heard anyone be declarative about Brice, but his own comments don’t scream excitement about being a sooner.

Campbell? Today, perhaps. Red? Does Sarkisian think he can compete on an eventually elite roster? 

Unless I’m missing something, anything else would be a surprise. I guess Gibbs is another question mark based on what the staff would like to believe. 

Oh you. Hiding the news that Stewart is flipping on Wednesday and Harris is just going to show up on campus in January without signing anything.

Posters who don't contribute to Burnt Ends and who also complain that NIL money isn't big enough should be ejected from this site. 

[Barbacoa 1934]

People are running with that 4 number but I dont buy it. Fuck Liucci. Its classic projection. Ewers stepping into a wide open QB room under Sark's tutelage makes all the sense in the world. Meanwhile, Evan Stewart in Jimbo's offense is the worst fit imaginable. They went silly money to get him, everyone knows it.

That's how everyone does it, but you know aggy ain't everyone. Look at Jimbo's contract.

"You got it!!!"

I certainly get this sentiment. Having had to decide between skipping meals and gas money, I can’t personally get irritated by anyone not able or willing to put into BE or something like it. It does piss me off when those folks start making demands of the rest of us, though.

Is there something stopping them from hiring agents in HS, perhaps working on spec until they graduate? 

edit - quoted wrong guy and just looked it up:

• No individual, corporate entity, or other organization may:
  1. enter into any arrangement with a prospective student athlete relating to the prospective student athlete’s name, image, or likeness prior to their enrollment in an institution of higher education; or
  2. use inducements of future name, image, and likeness compensation arrangement to recruit a prospective student athlete to any institution of higher education.

Maybe Neto? Who the hell knows what's going on there.

LTG - I think he still has a spot.

Armani Winfield - Maybe he's back in play?

Jordan Hudson - "Hey Jordan. Did you hear we got Ewers?"

Hullaby - Have we circled back around since he decommitted from Oregon?

 

Maybe we'll get a good ole-fashioned Charlie Strong signing day, and 3 or 4 random commits come out of the blue?

NEto is my favorite recruit ever. Its days to the first signing day and he has 1 crystal ball pick with low confidence. Never seen anything like it.

I’m used to it after the last 11 years. It’s the same ones that low ball season ticket holders for tickets who helped renovate DKR & build SEZ based on the argument of the ticket price. No comprehension what it takes to fund a program.

This is what I am most curious about.  Does Ewers have some long coat tails to bring in WR talent.  Maybe his coat tails have already been on display and that is why the O lineman have been committing already.  We will see in the next few days hopefully.
