Is that coming from anywhere other than this board's most spelling and grammatically challenged poster above?

Gerry said Fasusi is not signing with OU. Down to us and aggy. I like our chances after Saturday for sure.

It feels like they’re prolonging the inevitable, but I’ll give them credit for decisively pivoting after Lane said no.

I think they decided they would rather have Lagway than Lane.

I don't think it's mills, though the phrasing from the 995ers is weird. Being secretive and "its his announcement." We wouldn't process someone this late surely?

Also my guess is one of the Coleman brothers or Cunningham.

You'd have to be crazy to have a spot at Texas and then switch. Sark is building a monster.  

Five players drafted two years ago.

Eleven last year.

I've seen projections of up to 13 this year.

That game on TV last night is going to have a lot of scouts watching our film more intently.

Cunninhgam also makes sense with Wiley about to join the party.

Who do we have that is a small fish besides Cunningham, Winston, one of the Colemans, and Christian? Maybe Chester, but we want him and wouldn't be so nonchalant. Same with Mills.

Maybe Christian is being processed for Fasusi.

I'd hate to lose any of our early evals no matter where they're ranked. I could see Jackson Christian flipping if he doesn't feel he can get on the field here though.

Expand  

Has he even visited anywhere else?

Hate on me if you like for not knowing this, been really busy with work this cycle and even during the season. I have only one question..

We aren't losing any recruit we truly want to aggy, bloU or LSU like we may have in the past, right?

None of them have anything to hang their hat on when recruiting against us now...not a gotdam thing.

Don’t see why the Coleman bros would separate.

Littleton, I think.

Littleton is our 5th highest ranked commit. I don’t know how that can in any way be considered “not a big fish”.

Once Broughton. Collins Norton etc all get drafted. The portal guys are gonna be begging to come here 

Expand  

Portal DTs will do what every portal DT has done so far and chase the biggest bag possible. But I'd like to believe donor enthusiasm will be as high as it ever has been this offseason and Sark will recognize that we don't have much choice but to enter these DT auctions that he has so far avoided.

Ehhhhhh kinda

Fasusi and Hilson are all H2H losses if they break that way. We really wanted Chace Sims but we didn't engage early enough for his liking which set us behind early.

I read that as he wasn't signing with OU, Texas or Aggy. Spacing, man.

We didn’t go head to head with OU much this cycle. Really only Fasusi who the $9.95ers now say probably won’t sign with OU.

aggy and LSU both have a handful of guys we definitely wanted. For aggy, that’d be Kiotti, Kelshaun Johnson, Chace Sims, I think DJ Sanders, and maybe Cobey Sellers?

For LSU, Kade Philips, Aidan Anding, and their DTs. Also probably Harlem Berry but that was forever ago.

With Jerry doing the 100% gone and saying a small fish

 

i think it’s Mills, due to the fact we’re getting Fassusi and it was mutual Parting to add him 

Expand  

Nah. Mills is solid. He was just bumped up to a 4 Star. I'm thinking Winston (I was thinking Hicks, who he may end up at Colorado), but I doubt it's Mills. 

Posted

I have no insight into our coaching staff, so there are several players who might fill the description of a little fish, but it's clear hardly anyone on this board has watched North Crowley and Jonathan Cunningham.  He's a baller and after time in a college S&C program will develop into a very valuable asset.

Who was that poster about 3 weeks ago that said he didn’t care if UF did well in recruiting because it would hurt our rivals more than us?

Expand  

That would be Helobius.  He’s the resident Yankee dumbass from the valley.  You should put him on ignore.  You’ll just have to trust me on this.

It's a crazy world of NIL and some schools can get stupid.  Texas has an organized and disciplined approach to NIL by all accounts.  So while we are willing to pay fair market rates, we eventually may reach a point where we are outbid because other schools put a bigger NIL package on the table and we stay disciplined.  

The good news is that by all accounts bloU and LSU are struggling with raising NIL funds.  Aggy though are just two years off of buying the greatest recruiting class of all time.  I would think they would then look at their current roster and evaluate the stupidity of that decision, but never underestimate Aggy's ability to Aggy.

Could he be really good anywhere else? Think about it.

No one is getting processed except possibly Texas with multiple major risks right now. You should also stop guessing.

If/when he enrolls, he’s not eligible for the draft this cycle.

If you keep getting outbid at the same position does that mean you’re willing to pay “fair market rate”? Seems to me the market is what is being paid at the time for said position group and our “fair market rate” is below that.

As always, you fail to fully grasp the environment but never allow that to give you any pause whatsoever as you spray the board with whatever words spill out of your brain and onto the keyboard.

There is no “market rate” for individual players. If someone shows up with 2 or 3  times what the player has seen, at the last minute, it’s a choice then and there for everyone.

When that happens once, okay. When it’s 5 schools for 6 different players, with portal work also coming, it’s a fucking problem and it has nothing to do with some notion of a “market rate” or whatever the fuck else you want to bawl all over.

So that’s the new market then yeah? Especially when it happens every year?

Why don’t you take a stab at defining the term “market” for us? Just a simple request. Tell us what you mean when type “market” out here. 

Expand  

Is the problem here just a few schools going bonkers on a few guys late, or is it an oversight from our staff and them not having a good finger on the pulse of where things stand with guys? Seemed like you had staff concerns on the recruiting side months ago but haven’t seen much on that since but I assume those problems didn’t just go away.

It's more likely that we had a tough away game that we had to focus on so we couldn't bring our commits to the game and we couldn't travel to see them until Sunday.
