I really like the Danitz kid after seeing his highlights. Kid has a motor and at 6'5 230 can run a 10.5 100 he is always putting pressure in the backfield. I know only DIII and the talent he is going against is not SEC level but that is a nice combo of size and speed.

Plus with that frame could be a great TE for us. :lol:

Here’s the problem: the Clearinghouse is approving just about everything. They are supposed to determine if the deal is at fair market value. How can they determine that? There’s virtually no previous history, so unless the offer is completely outlandish, the offer IS fair market value because that is the market. If they try to be more stringent, they will get sued. The Clearinghouse was broken from the start.


Yes, there is no baseline for market value, and many coaches are already complaining about it. Also, one of the reason the lawyers and even the state AG in Texas has told schools to not sign the agreement that would allow the CSC to enforce issues that may be above fair market is language in the agreement.

Now if all schools were all to sign the agreement for the CSC to enforce and punish schools(meaning preventing the NIL deal to go through my understanding it could not be challenged in the courts as part of the House settlement agreed to this. The CSC would not be preventing players from getting NIL or transferring just not to get unfair market value because of rich boosters.

Until schools willingly give the CSC power there will be no cap or regulation of NIL.

Team Russell. He is the highest rated recruit to sign with UA or at least QB. He does not turn out great time to find a new fall sport. :banghead:

We are halfway through the portal window. Many players still will enter waiting to see what other players do and agents talking with teams before a player enters. Also teams still trying to iron out deal to stay.

Lance Heard (Tenn) and Josiah Thompson (USCe) are the two best OTs available,


Haywood UM and Shull from AU are ranked higher on ON3 but question do you go after a kid from a P5 program that is in the portal and lost a star/went down in ranking or do you go after a kid from a g6 team that coming out of HS had no stars and now is a 3 or 4 star. Not to mention the g6 kid has something to prove and will demand the money a P4 player might

ON3 shows B Riker to Penn St at 90% prediction
I only watch UA when they play unless somewhere other games are on as well at the same time. But after that I do not watch CFB unless I have tickets to go in person. Better things now to do.
Our staff if nothing else seems to very diligent in they want and offer. Any kids I believe that has visited has committed to us. Not saying Coleman will but also any kid that had no real interest has not visited or cancel his visit so far. Meaning I think the staff have made it very clear up front to players in the portal what we are offering. If it does not make us a contender no need to come. The fact Coleman is visiting tells me he knows what we are willing to offer, which most of us think is lesser than the Texas schools but he still is coming so I believe has is serious about playing at UA. Again, we will see but feel we have a good shot.
AJ Harris is in the portal out of PSU. IIRC we recruited him but he went to UGA.

Yes they followed IU coach when he left JMU but he did develop those players

There is no clearing house any more. Three schools suck as Texas Tech and o think Indiana refused to sign so the agreement that the other schools signed off on is null and void. Heard that from a lawyer on radio.


What they were talking about is the CSC(college sports commission) which is supposed to enforce programs adhering to the new clearinghouse system for third party deals has not been signed by all schools including Texas Tech. The clearinghouse is still in place and none of it has anything to do with what a school can directly pay athletes.

Incorrect as the House Settlement included a third-party clearinghouse that had to approve all NIL deals. It is called NIL GO

quote:

A three-page memo distributed to schools provides further clarity regarding Deloitte’s role as the approved clearinghouse for name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals, as outlined in the House settlement and guidance documents. Deloitte’s NIL clearinghouse and review platform will be known as “NIL Go.”


Either way irrelevant to the Miami post. The courts have made it clear schools can only pay athletes via revenue sharing which is capped. Whatever Miami earns cannot go over that cap. The new clearinghouse system only applies to NIL third party deals.
New LB corps for next fall



New Wolf



New DL



New DB group



We will be stacked next year on D :cheers:
Just entered the portal. This WR should help keep fans in the stadium. :lol:

quote:

Yeah? Who is enforcing that?


I assume the courts as that was settled in the courts with the agreement of the House. This has nothing to with the NCAA or a clearinghouse.
That is not money to spend on the roster.

A college can only directly pay athletes a max I believe for the next season 21 million up from 20.5 million. There is no cap on NIL money from third parties, but Miami can make 100 million as a program from the playoffs and they are still capped like everyone else.
quote:

Not sure about that when they can leave again after one year


They can but what is better replacing starters every season or taking a chance to build a team like IU?
I am curious if we go after WR Porter from OSU and heard we may target WR M Graham from OSU as well who we may get a visit from the latter.
quote:


Bama is likely somewhere in the middle when it comes to money. Not in the upper tier with teams like Texas, Oregon, A&M etc and their seemingly limitless pockets. Or in the tier between the richest of the rich and the middle tier: teams like LSU and UGA

Nor in the bottom basically broke teams like most CFB teams (if you include G6 teams).

They just have to be smart (and lucky) about who they get and hope to avoid too many injuries that would test depth.


I posted a link the other day. Out of the 12 playoff teams we were 10th in estimated NIL spending. only ahead of the 2 g6 teams. The estimate is we are just over 20 million. aTm topped the list at 35 million last year. OSU and TTU were the next two on the list. All 3 lost their first game in the playoffs.
Peak I wanted but the one draw back was he only had 1 year left to play. In all honestly signing guys in the portal with more years would be better.
