Recruiting Football Talk VII

[85SugarVol]

If Coach Jerry Mack leaves for Jacksonville Cadillac Williams needs to be contacted. He would be a huge for recruiting, players seem to really love playing for him.

VFL...GBO

Pretty sure Cadillac was committed to us at one point, and Tee to Auburn.

They both flipped late. Maybe

We think Gonzaga will beat UK tomorrow?

I'm a big fan, and I think they've got like a 25% chance. This is the worst team they've had in a long time.

It was nice knowing you fellers

You're safe. I gave you a like. Don't get used to it though.

You have to realize how hilarious this take is coming from a Georgia fan. I'm sure you believe those Kirby recruiting classes were all on the up and up, which makes it even funnier, IMO. I mean, sure, Amarius Mims turned down money from multiple schools to go to Georgia. Same with Darnell Washington. You're an okay dude for a pup fan, but you have to know Georgia was shelling out money before shelling out money was allowed. Yet the eye of the NCAA never fell upon you.

You’re better than I am. I would have thrown out the supposedly daycare. Edit Edit Jen. He’s alright for a dawg fan visitor . Don’t expect a concession here.

Looks like the gumps will be back in the market:

But isn’t it the same with Tennessee? They didn’t have enough rules to umbrella collectives as boosters with Nico, right?

I have no idea, but if so, then they'll lose here too.

Sometimes I have to remember the NCAA has failed to be able to punish many many times. Their bylaws only cover so much...


I'm just more familiar with the UNC case because it's both been dealt with and has been fleshed out in great detail over years and years.

Fwiw was in no way comparing the cases. Just speaking to the UNC case with the other poster.

Why did I think that already happened like 2 weeks ago?

 

[Exiled]

Hate it for the players especially the ones that just signed.

Transfer portal opening for them.

Big loss for Bammer… 2024 looking like it’s gonna be a Buckeye - Dawg battle. I expect those two to be front runners all season long

Seattle over Gumpville. Even Ray Charles can see the difference

Him simply moving from the Pacific Northwest to Tuscaloosa must have been a culture shock.

He'd probably never been in a backwards *** 3rd world country before.

Idk, but I would certainly be here for it!

You seem to have read more into my post than was there. Ulysses suggested that NIL resources make Ohio State better positioned than Tennessee to acquire athletes. I wondered if that would necessarily guarantee more success. I don't have the answer, just noted that this sort of thing had been debated before in a military context. Maybe having the most money is paramount in the NIL era, but I'm not sure because football is the ultimate team sport and culture is important.

As for Mims or Washington, I haven't seen any evidence that they were paid to sign with UGA, so what was the NCAA's reason to investigate? It's possible, but you could say that for any college athlete. If you're saying that Pruitt offered them money and thus UGA must have done the same, I don't believe that's the kind of logic that launches investigations. Pruitt reportedly handed out $60,000 total to multiple athletes, much less per individual player presumably. Sums like that could be, and almost certainly have been, outweighed by non-financial considerations in a player's recruitment.

Has Georgia been illegally "shelling out money" in amounts that give them a recruiting advantage over everyone else? When there's money or power at stake, I never rule out the possibility of cheating. But I'd need to see something more than "they're recruiting very well so they must have some illicit advantage". In the recent past UGA's underperformance despite some obvious geographic recruiting advantages ("no championship since 1981") was used as an indictment of the program and of Mark Richt. Now it's overperformance, I guess.

Lol, mental gymnastics. If you don’t think Georgia cheats on the recruiting trail than you are either ignorant or lying to yourself. Either way, lol.
