Wait a minute I thought we had north of 30 million to spend on the transfer portal why are we missing out on some of the top targets?

---

You do realize that 30 mil also goes towards retention and hs recruiting correct? Those totals weren't to be interpreted as purely for the portal. They were to cover the roster including the 50+ kids we already have in the boat. Those DL we have are expensive.

Come on people, that’s actually funny and has truth to it. At this point, that’s all this portal is about.

If its a known reality, as it is, then why is it funny and does it need to be blatantly pointed out? Kiffin was literally hired due to us promising a $30 million warchest. Where do you suppose theyre gonna spend that money if not on players?
It's a troll by someone that prefers communism over capitalism because "tradition". Generally speaking, most traditions die. This one died. Rightfully.

At one point this lady was a fairly attractive human being. And normal appearing. These humiliation rituals are out of control. Her and Ariana Grande have been on a whirlwind tour of humiliating behavior the past couple of months. Im not a big believer in all that illuminati crap but this type of transformation of "stars" the past few years definitely line up with it. Just completely bat shite transformations that no one seems to be able to explain a why for. And these are grown arse adults generally already "established" not kids or teenagers. It's something.

Not sure if you're trying to agree or disagree with what I posted. 2 things are true, what you posted(I also posted) and the fact that half(minimum) J wearers today do not wear them due to anything to do with Jordan other than the name on the shoe. Just a shoe/apparel company. The human is irrelevant to them. Again making what Paul said true. He said half didnt wear Jordan's to be like Mike. Thats true. They wore them because the popular guy in the neighborhood did. Now people wear them due to status pure and simple. Jordan's aren't even attractive footwear. Damn sure not with a suit like those idiots on TV wear.

Tennessee guys reported yesterday the demands were to play LT only and 4 mil(from 2 of their sites). I didnt believe the number but did the rest based on what happened here. Apparently that number might be closer than I thought.
My initial thought is LT or 4 mil to move over was the decision. Tennessee said no to both. Purely speculative.
I personally think the kid could help us but not at that price. Only positive of the price is he is almost guaranteed to be a 1 more year guy putting that $ back in play for 26 recruiting/retention efforts.

Im sure he is. Hes kind of invested heavily in LeBron.
And hes not entirely wrong about the shoe. They are a significant "status" symbol in the urban community. Haves and have nots. They are an essential to every "haves" wardrobe. Making what hes saying practically the truth. Kids now, for sure, aren't wearing Jordan's due to Jordan. They didnt witness him or the shoes rise to the status they've been at the past 30 years. Half of them have no idea who he is as a human or athlete. Just a shoe.
You could argue that there hasn't ever been a more significant shoe ever made. It's rise and early popularity had everything to do with Micheal Jordan the basketball player. As with everything, time changes perception and reality. The realities are, today, most Jordan wearers could care less about Jordan the basketball player and that without Jordan the basketball player, the Jordan shoe wouldnt exist or be the symbol they are today.

He's a fricking communist.

The NIL era has exposed a lot of them. Not that they truly are communists(some are i suppose as they are alumni of their proud communist university) but when it comes to their college sports they'll damn sure convince you they are. Lucky for them Joe McCarthy is dead.

Strange recruitment. Was on our early board then we weren't interested so he was headed to Purdue. Texas came and blew his doors off(relatively) and he committed there. Then, depending your source, he overvalued himself or Texas overplayed their hand expecting to flip a DT(Big Rich was their primary target). Then Kelly and co bring him in for a visit and its trending our way. Now we dint want him and Nebraska and Kentucky are getting the visits. Seems like a good player to me. Not sure what the issue is.

Funny to make assumptions off of information that is not public knowledge

Agree.

Also think salaries should be public. At the very least the revenue pie portion. The universities, for the most part, are public, they lost a very public lawsuit and in the spirit of full disclosure, the public should be able to view whos getting what as it pertains to that pie. All sports.
The NIL numbers will always be "heresay" until some kind of bargaining deal.is done and compliance is more than just an idea.

If hes hellbent on playing both sports and Lane isn't keen on it, let him go to Nebraska. Fact is, unless hes the rare one(possible) like a Julius Peppers who can be wildly successful at one, mildly at the other(he was a strong BB player), hes gonna have to choose at some point. Go get him then if hes worth it and chooses football. No sense paying top dollar for a guy at a non top dollar position for him to languish away trying to double up early on. Let someone else pay that initial, expensive deal.
