Josh Pate’s broadcast tonight all about A&M without saying it (NIL broken promises)

Says he’s been talking to coaches around the league and the biggest issue with NIL is certain schools promising things they can’t honor. Says some programs are promising things not rooted in reality which is causing recruits to commit without any emotional connection to the program.
He says “the quickest way to fracture locker room is with a few kids being promised a lot of money and them not getting it.” He goes on to say it’s already happening and word is already getting out among future signing classes. “It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.”
“There will be some high profile examples—it won’t take long for this to leak out. I’m telling you it’s coming in the next year or two—…of kids who get burned... That’s not going to go over well. …and when that happens they’ll leave and they’ll talk. And some of them are already doing it.”

Thought it was USC.

Could be a little, but A&M—who finished with the best recruiting class in history last year—currently still sits at 60. USC is at 17 right now. Also let’s not forget the Aggie coach Twitter meltdown last week.

I was saying that based on this tweet.
I get your point about atm but seems like usc might be the first to be exposed.

I’d rather them not come here. They made their choice. They need to face the consequences.
We need people who WANT to be at LSU.

They’re 17 year olds with family and agents in their ears. I’ll give them a pass.

When I started to hear Pate, 8&4 is who first came to mind, but I’m pretty sure it isn't them.
Josh clearly said (and repeated it multiple times) he was talking about schools that didn’t have a good NIL plan during the last cycle and hence they started making empty promises to not get left behind. 8&4 was ready for NIL out the gate and they have the money.

If they leave ATM and want to transfer to LSU, doesn't that mean they want to be at LSU?

They chose $ over any "connection" to a school.
Why would that mindset change if they leave?

Dumb
Reminds of all the post not wanting a QB transfer from OSU Bc LSU had a full QB room of players that WANTED to be at LSU.

What happened here?

I'd be shocked if it was A&M, or any big schools for that matter. They have the money, but if they're promising on things they can't deliver because they didn't put the work in ahead of time, thats pretty bad.

Thanks for posting. That was a good listen.
Seems like there were a few highly ranked recruits that did not read the NIL contract fine print and were verbally overpromised. Hopefully going forward highly ranked recruits' handlers and/or parents will get smarter at reading contracts.
Also in Pate's podcast, it sounded like 247 is doing a rankings update today. That's going to be interesting.

That tweet...maybe the locker room is not so copesetic at 8&4.

I see your point and would typically agree, but it could be really useful to have a former A&M player from last years cycle that is the host for a future recruit during his OV. We can have him host a player that is entertaining A&M, and he can negative recruit them for us talking about the BS, toxic locker room and broken promises. It’s a dirty business.
