Handing out NIL deals for Miami, I assume?

That’s very punny

Thanks for your input, Dakorien.

Are we doing some scholarship arbitrage here with the new rules for scholarship limits? Can we now move a baseball scholarship to the football scholly count to make room for additional baseball players?

Wowzers!!!

Wow, I actually have something to share on a baseball thread 😀 Here goes: I went to several Ole Miss baseball games this season and saw Saunier pitch a couple of times. He was good the first time through the line-up and for 3-4 solid innings in his starts, but typically was relieved after that. Definitely has starter potential, but still young and needs tutalege. He was a Sunday / Tuesday starter for Ole Miss when healthy last season. I’ll now shut-up and let the baseball experts take it from here.

USC Penn State Washington

Big 12 officials have been for sale for decades.

He hates Lambos, and his room at the Four Seasons didn’t have a lake view.

If Washington would’ve actually handed the ball to the RB on those play-action fakes, Norton would’ve been the player of the game. 🙂

Hopefully that brings better luck 😂

I thought maybe Sark had added the former Stanford HC to his staff.

Why would Josiah Sharma choose Texas (ie - make his decision for Texas), then call Bama and Oregon the night before his announcement and tell them that he was committing to Texas… … then two hours before his announcement, Oregon decides to increase their NIL offer to Sharma. And he picks Oregon (shocking!). So much for picking a school in his mind. At least Sharma had the balls to call the other coaches to inform them of his “decision”.

I assume Oregon is moving to the SEC because I was assured D.Moore was playing in the SEC. LOL.

Nonsense. Kids and their circle are taking the biggest payment, irrespective of what any school has to offer. There is absolutely no criteria by which a logical decision maker can choose Oregon over Texas, and particularly so for a WR who may actually want a degree of some value. Zero reason…other than a bigger paycheck. QB room? Offensive savant as a coach? Track record of first round WRs? Track record of offensive output? Bigger brand / exposure for next contract? This is all led by Marshall Malchow, the same bagman who gave us the 2022 aggy “best recruiting class ever”, and he is doing it the exact same way. Do you really think that playing in the Big Ten West at 9pm CT against Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Purdue, Northwestern, and UCLA is really comparable to playing for Texas in the SEC? Be serious. This isn’t about sales and marketing, it’s about procurement.

Mismanagement by Pettijohn, not Texas. Play silly games, wind-up at your second or third choice. It wasn’t Texas that put unrealistic NIL expectations, playing time expectations, and role expectations on the table that were never going to be accepted by Texas. Let USC, tOSU, or aggy decide if those demands work for them.

With OU whiffing so badly on the initial OT recruiting, they literally have to win one (or both) of Rogers and Fasusi. They’ll be the highest bidder, with aggy hot on their tail.

Maybe the author thought he was mocking the MLB draft?

So what does that tell you about Brown’s decision making criteria? And about who is making the decisions for him? If the kid schedules an OV to a school the week of the visit, and hadn’t even had OU in his top 5 before that, what do you think motivated this OV to Oklahoma? I don’t think it is a coincidence that Brown and mom schedule an OV to the school that just won a very public DT recruitment / NIL auction just a few weeks before (Damonic Williams). It would suggest to me that Brown’s circle is fully aware of which schools are most motivated $$ to obtain elite DT talent. And that also informs me of who and how the final decision is likely to be influenced. Now that all the bids are now in, the circle will make the decision.

The same date as Zion Williams is probably a clue to the outcome here.

@Blake Munroe any update on the Belyeu rumors?

When J.Antoine de-commited from LSU last week and Miami was the likely landing spot for the flip, this scenario became predictable.

He’ll be cut 3 minutes after his father retires or chooses to leave the Lakers. Lebron is far more interested in enhancing his personal brand than about winning at this stage of his career, and he wants the made-for-TV moments of playing with his son on a nationally televised Lakers game(s). The NBA’s first father-son alley oop on a Christmas Day Lakers vs Celtics telecast. Oh the showmanship!! The inmates have been running the asylum in the NBA for years, but this is next level. Contrived entertainment and personal aggrandizement masquerading as an athletic competition…today’s NBA.

Guessing hoops here

Is “heads-up” what we say when a “hi” becomes public?
