I think we might have dodged a bullet. I never liked all the public statements he made about being #1 target, best in the country, going up to rivals to dominate, etc...He seemed to have bought in to the hype and didn't back it up. He might develop...but the mental profile to me didn't match what we are looking for in serious 5 star recruits. Compare to John Turntine journey...Take Turntine all day.

We are losing recruiting battles to schools with rosters just as loaded as ours. And, according to Callicut, we are offering more NIL and still losing.

Is anyone getting this on espn+

Says hasn't started yet...what a joke

not showing up on ESPN+ app

How to watch in Houston?

@Bobby Burton I bought tickets for the Vanderbilt game in October. Need some recommendations for hotels and any info on OTF tailgating events.

Guys, I feel like my original post generated some pretty negative posts and a need for Gerry to defend the process. As my original post noted, I never said Gerry or OTF was gaslighting or being anything but honest and hardworking. I pointed the finger at agent and kids (and probably family members). My exact observation was: "I think kids and agents are using services like this to spread false info and create demand to raise NIL…and we as subscribers are the “victims” … hard to believe recruiting nuggets and HI’s at this point…" I stand by this. I think the job of Gerry and others in this business is made even more difficult because now there is enormous incentive for others to embellish, lie, etc. to drive up fan interest, fan demand to specific players which then helps drive up NIL. So, they might give signs of a "Hi" so outlets talk about them and promote them, only to drive up the price of another destination. So, sorry if somehow what I said was a dispersion to Gerry and OTF...it wasn't.

I think kids and agents are using services like this to spread false info and create demand to raise NIL…and we as subscribers are the “victims” … hard to believe recruiting nuggets and HI’s at this point…

But but we’ve been in contact this week….LOL…recruiting coverage and “intel” just seems to be off this cycle.

well, on the good side of things. We should have lots of money to spend if we’re willing to spend it.

Feels like when hiring a position coach players value coaches who PUT players in the NFL more than coaches that have been assistants in the NFL. I think Sark took a flyer for DL coach...and it's not paying off right now. Needs a splash hire from a splash program...in this day and age, headlines matter, buzz, etc...not necessarily logic.
