yes. there's usually some amount of money that makes problems disappear. schools seemed to be reticent to pull out the big guns until this portal season, with the exception of UGA going after Wilson and Wisconsin going after a guy last year (I think it was them).

from the reporting we got on the Leavitt recruitment, it kinda seemed like we did outbid Miami for him. We just lost to LSU, but it was down to LSU and Tennessee's final hail mary offer.

so basically we could pay Mensah all through third party NIL sponsorships and be ok. just can't give him any of the school-funded rev share dollars unless Duke lets him out (which is code for a buyout). honestly, the timing of this move suggests more of UT being a player than Miami. Miami...

Was the "secret visitor" ever actually identified?

I think the biggest indicator of our plans at QB is whether Beau commits to us in the next 48 hours. If not, we've definitely got another card up our sleeves.

I'm confident that the staff have a plan here. They can judge Beau much better than any of the Monday morning coaches in this thread. We'd see a different set of actions by the staff if they were truly desperate, including pushing $5 mil for Leavitt and bringing in more QB candidates.

Probably too much to ask but can we not make Beau feel like absolute dogcrap through social media if he ends up committing to us?

no more spring portal

Nico’s agent strikes again. Dude’s a snake.

Maybe Gregory? It has to be someone already in the portal, so it can’t be too much of a secret. Definitely not another QB if Sam is already there.

I think too many of you are not focusing on how dynamic the portal valuation process has become. Take White for example. We probably had a decently high valuation on him when the portal first opened, and he jumped in. He visits, but as he is visiting and shortly after, other cbs enter in the...

The crazy meltdown thread in the FF already had both LWS and DeerPark confirm that we have boosters feeling the same way. It's just the nature of the beast, and it won't change until either (i) the schools finally resign to a world of collective bargaining or (ii) congress gives college...

Not my intent to run anyone off. Just wondering aloud why TN’s staff would let that level of detail slip when it could be negatively affecting our recruiting. We know TN representatives audit these boards, and if I was running the AD, I’d have put a stop to this.

The thing that doesnt make sense about Sooner's intel is the fact that it's coming from staff associated with OK State, right? I just don't believe different staffs are in communication with each other in that level of detail. It seems like a terrible strategy in a zero sum setup like the...

Is there still a possibility Hiter tries to get out of his Michigan deal to come here?
