My apologies, I assumed we were talking about this year's portal cycle.Well we know Mauigoa, Seaton, Tate to name a few. I mean being out bid happening every single time we lose out on a recruit. But with the way the money is flowing these days, it’s hard not to think that. Especially with seeing things floating around that our NIL isn’t as strong as other big programs.
No it doesn't.Well we know Mauigoa, Seaton, Tate to name a few. I mean being out bid happening every single time we lose out on a recruit.

Miami threw a big bag at Mauigoa and he liked the fact the head coach was an OL coach. We were not outbid for Seaton. He just wanted to play for Deion...I don't think we got outbid for Tate during the portal cycle. SF alluded that OSU approached our number and I guess was close enough to it for him to stay.Well we know Mauigoa, Seaton, Tate to name a few.

wasn't OSU alluding to us paying Sanders 8x what they were?Miami threw a big bag at Mauigoa and he liked the fact the head coach was an OL coach. We were not outbid for Seaton.

It’s not just those we stayed in to the end. We back out or stop recruiting due to size of NIL we either cannot do or are unwilling to offer.Well we know Mauigoa, Seaton, Tate to name a few.

You responded about something I never said. I said there are examples where we fell out or dropped out due to being either unwilling or unable to compete with others on NIL. Wingo and Petty are examples on high end guys. I do not care despite an overall pedestrian DB class, but FL is the likely choice on Konnanoby (spelling?) due to our unwillingness to pay what they are.Show me any school that is in EVERY top recruits final list until the end. I will wait.
but having a standard that we MUST pay the most for every guy we are in on, or we have failed is BS.You responded about something I never said.

Again, I never said we have to pay the most. Although, it does raise the value of elite recruiters and by every account we have some weak links and too few elite guys. We continue to recruit well but less well than the top tier in conference. I’m thankful for Chop.but having a standard that we MUST pay the most for every guy we are in on, or we have failed is BS.
some guys aren't worth the money they are wanting. just because someone else is dumb enough to pay more doesn't mean anything.
why pay more for Konanbanny if we need the money for Sanders? No one has limitless funds, so its dumb to assume that anyone is paying actual top dollar for everyone they get. you have to prioritize.
money isn't the only thing. Remember how we got Brame even though we were paying HALF as much as Oregon did? Player's preference still comes in on these things. Its very likely they are wanting different amounts from different schools. Personally I would go play for UT for free, but I would want 10 million a year from Bama. its never going to be that hyperbolic, but that situation obviously exists.
