It doesn’t matter if it “sucks.” The best programs still have their foundations set in recruiting. You guys act like we are sagging into the 20s when we are still pulling Top 4-8 classes, even with the drama and flips. And we have to continue to do that.

We managed to hang onto Pickett and Curne and grab Thomas. I know the drama sucks and it’s mostly about money, but it’s still 100% necessary whether we want to follow it or not. We cannot survive mostly on the portal and in the future, we don’t need to be in a position to have to take more than 10 players from there like we have to this season.

Fun for brand recognition,


This.

The NIL era has finally stripped away college football's cloak of amateurism, revealing the naked business it always was.????????????????

I know commitments today don’t mean squat but to say USC said NO is also squat. The kid is Top 85 nationally #8 DE—— USC passed No way Jose’ - I’m not saying he’s all world but come on, it’s good for show right now even though BU broke my commitment to recruiting(no pun intended)- it’s a loooong way to go but still the guy is good not a also ran invitation this is a People’s recruit for an Edge Defender at LSU.

As HS prospect, it seems like a better idea to go where there is an immediate need for you at lower tier P4 or G5 program. Play early/develop there and hit the portal for a bigger program after a year or two.


Well said. Not only that but the lower tier coaches are starting to help the kid find the step-up place

Commitments now are basically saying the team they want to pay up when it becomes signing day

McCoy has had a solo TFL and a solo sack on the same drive during this Under Armour game. He certainly looks the part.

Who cares? High school recruiting sucks now. We really shouldn’t put much effort or energy into watching it anymore as a fanbase.

I still care, so you don't speak for me. I am curious how long you have been following recruiting?

Commit means nothing these days

Not accurate. Even if it were, it appears we have to scroll thru this comment repeatedly in recruiting threads.
