If I were rich, I wouldn't like some kid trying to play me.

The only way to get this guy is to pay more than Tech. It’s as simple as that.


Actually, I don't think it is that cut and dried. Does money mean a lot these days? Of course it does. But on the margins, relationships still matter if the money is close. And Ryan Day along with a lot of other coaches think Ed Orgeron is the best DL coach in college football. Once again, the money has to be in the same area code, but I don't believe for 1 second that that the highest bidder is going to win every time. It is NOT as simple as that IMO.

We can’t compete with Texas Tech?
Not so fast my friend!!!!
We can compete with anybody trust me. But the GM won’t overpay one player and have every player in that position room “pissed off”. That’s where we have to draw the line.

If you were rich you will have been involved in enough dealing to understand how leverage and negations work to not be bothered by it.

Its what you said but also with Tech its not complete roster building..If its about money they throw the bag at recruits rated high at each position and dont necessarily worry about quality depth so they can overpay.

You act like they are fixing to give the kid a billion dollars. Anything they can do we can match. It's just whether or not we feel it's worth it.

Most HS football junkies in the Dallas area say he will sign with the highest bidder on signing day.

Tech's big / main money bag loudly proclaimed, after buying the top DL in the country that year ( a cool $5M), that he would never get out bid & "warned the college football world that he was coming for everyone's top recruits.+ This was 3-4 yrs ago


If, that's the case we should offer 21 million over 3 years. Make them pay top dollar for every single recruit.

Yea that doesn’t move the needle at all for me unfortunately in today’s recruiting. As a matter of fact him wearing LSU gear all the time in workouts makes me think he’s even more likely to stick with Texas Tech. Because I’m sure that’s just a scheme to get Tech to drive up the price to keep him. I’ve seen this movie many times with these five stars lately.

#1 player doesn’t need to “drive up” prices or play games.

He is going to LSU. New Era in BR

Hopeful, but he could still easily just be driving up his final price.
