It's time for this staff to get to work.
The staff is busting its arse. We simply can’t or won’t compete with the money players. I lean more towards can’t but I won’t leave anything off the table.
Let’s be honest here y’all, these are for the most part young black kids that for the majority probably don’t come from the a middle class background. The music they listen to, the athletes they are influenced by, the things they see in other mediums all hammer home the idea that it’s all about the money. So likely, 90% of them and most of them at the top end, will only give a frick about the dollar bill at the end of the day.
We can’t match what aTm, UT, Georgia, USC, OSU, or Michigan can throw at those guys. And most people aren’t crazy enough to bankrupt themselves in order for their football team to be good like Alabama.
Maybe I’m wrong, I could be. But we simply don’t have endless pockets to pull from.

If that's the case than we won't be competing for championships again. We'll be mid tier program

There's no team in CFB I despise anywhere remotely as much as Michigan. But to be fair to them they are way behind in the NIL game and - much to the disgust of most of their fans - seem to be doing very little for even their existing players, let alone potential recruits.
Ohio State is the one major mid-west school that is very active the NIL sphere for both recruiting targets and current players. Notre Dame has recently eventually started getting its act together for existing players, but as usual it is being extra cautious and not offering specific deals to recruits. It's relying on the new head coach's pure recruiting ability and that of his staff. Which has worked pretty well so far, but it's one thing to get commitments, it's another to have them actually sign in December after things get pretty mad in the NIL world in November/December.

Imagine being a 17 year old and your living in a trailer in the middle of amite. Your food stamp poor and A man from Texas comes in and says "if you play for us we'll buy your momma a house today and give you a $500k in cash so she can retire"
If it's me- frick "state allegiance". Im buying my momma the house.
