Just guessing but prOn?

So basically this is “oh I’m Eastons fifth cousin and I think he’s gonna flip to LSU” type of situation. GTFO lmao. Pretty embarrassing for Rival employees to take these statements serious. We really are in need of football to be back already lol.

Joe Zura on stilts?

Please. He’s enjoying this. Too much for my taste but whatever. ‘26, nil, yellatclouds, yada yada. Miss me for the group that copy/pastes can’t handle big boy (so dumb) recruiting. I loathe silliness and attention seekers. Commitment reservation is the dumbest thing we ever allowed and the Miami gloves concluded my tolerance. Reality is, short of an actual generational QB, everyone can be accounted for with someone else. Asking for adult money, act like one…

I thought Petitti's comments were interesting. He basically said if Congress can't get a bill done, the next step is working out CSC changes with the other conferences. If that doesn't work, the fallback is self-governance. He also made a point of saying that doesn't mean anyone stops playing each other, which tells me he wanted to shut down the breakaway league narrative before it got started. The bigger takeaway is that the SEC and Big Ten don't seem boxed in. A federal bill is one option, not their only option. That's probably why they're in no rush to meet congressional deadlines. The catch is that self-governance doesn't solve the legal problem. Without antitrust protection, you're back to writing your own rules and hoping they survive the next lawsuit. That's the exact problem Congress is trying to solve.

The associated-entity fight is what's really holding this bill up, mostly because there's no clean answer to it. The loophole is simple enough. Schools are capped on what they can share directly, so the big programs find ways to move extra money through multimedia partners, sponsors, and other affiliated businesses. Nebraska's the best example. The CSC threw out deals for 18 players after deciding Playfly counted as an associated entity and the contracts had no real business purpose. But not every Learfield or Playfly deal is fake. Those companies have thousands of legitimate sponsorships and media relationships, and you can't just assume every dollar tied to them is circumvention. Leave it wide open, though, and the biggest spenders keep building rosters outside the cap anyway. That's the whole problem. Everybody agrees there needs to be a ceiling. Nobody has figured out how to stop the cheating without dragging a lot of real business down with it. Which is why this is the piece that still isn't resolved.

If I were a recruit, it would piss me off as well. I don't care for all the hoopla and am glad he's calling them out. Some of these sites and projections are pushing agendas and clicks more than real content... 🤘

LWC did as well

It’s click bait, repeat it’s click bait!

You're quite a guy. You insist on talking about rape. What do you want to hijack? I didn't mention the name.

it doesn't count until I post it.

Please stop hijacking threads to talk about the rapist.

Phil never said he'd rather keep Shaq. He came back to coach Kobe to two more titles. Did Jerry West tell Shaq that Kobe would be the best player in the world in July 1996?

Melton as a player Boyer by far as a person!!

Phil also said it’s either me or Kobe, I’d rather keep Shaq, and left the Lakers. If you want to keep talking about the rapist, start another thread.

As we continue our countdown to kickoff, today’s spotlight is on the best Longhorns to wear No. 37. Glenn Blackwood | Defensive Back (1975–78) Blackwood headlines this list. A captain of the 1978 Texas team, he helped lead the Longhorns to the 1977 Southwest Conference championship and an undefeated regular season. He led Texas in interceptions during that 1977 campaign before going on to enjoy a 10-year NFL career with the Miami Dolphins, where he played in two Super Bowls. Blackwood was inducted into the Texas Athletics Hall of Honor in 2020. Henry Melton | Running Back/Defensive End (2005–08) One of the more unique careers in Texas history, Melton arrived as a bruising running back before successfully transitioning to defensive end. He was a member of the 2005 national championship team and scored 16 rushing touchdowns during his first two seasons before becoming an impact defender. Melton earned All-Big 12 honors as a senior and later developed into an NFL Pro Bowler with the Chicago Bears. Terry Orr | Fullback (1981–84) Orr played a key role on some outstanding Texas teams during the early 1980s. His most memorable moment came when he scored the go-ahead touchdown in Texas’ victory over Alabama in the 1982 Cotton Bowl. He helped the Longhorns to multiple top-five finishes before enjoying a nine-year NFL career that included two Super Bowl championships with Washington. Nate Boyer | Deep Snapper (2010–14) Boyer’s legacy extends well beyond football. After serving as a Green Beret and earning a Bronze Star, he walked on at Texas, eventually earning a scholarship and becoming the Longhorns’ primary long snapper. He received the inaugural Armed Forces Merit Award and remains one of the most respected and inspiring figures to ever wear the Burnt Orange. Who would you rank as the greatest Longhorn to wear No. 37?

Can't speak for other sites or what intel they're getting. It's possible LSU staffers feel confident just based off conversations with people around him, which are still happening even though Royal isn't talking. Either way this is a long way from over.

Phil also said Kobe was the hardest working and most skilled player he'd ever seen.

He flipped to aggy according to liucci

Phil Jackson also said that Kobe was uncoachable.

Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight Well, somebody told me you had a boyfriend Who looked like a girlfriend That I had in February of last year

So he didn’t commit to lsu yesterday? Lot of unnecessary puddles around here.
