Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[JohnnyD1024]

BBall guys.. When is Jaden Springer going to announce his commitment?

The rumor is that he's going to announce after his last official which is with us the weekend of Georgia game. Our two current commits, Walker and Johnson will also be there that weekend.

The good news is that the bball team is about to land Springer and have the #1 ranked class in the country. We gonna be good in bball for a while.

If they have a lot of success early, probably a lot of one and dones.

Hey, let's talk about baseball then!

I lol'd because I thought you'd mocked Californian attention-seeking and baseball in a single bound.

[Picture Catbone's avi here] But you were serious.

I'd be happy to take credit for clever nuanced humor, but in this case I actually am a Dodgers fan and I do live in California.

You bastard.

Not gonna lie though, I'm starting to despise feeling like the 1990's Braves

Bob Ross couldn’t paint a better picture.Brings tears to my damn eyes 4 years in a row or something NL west division champs only to see it being choked away by chokeshaw AGAIN this year

 

[UTSuave’]

because your division is back alley trash.

Easy. @bignewt lets not get ourselves ahead of the Braves

Gets too bad? Share notes with pre and post 1990’s Braves fans.

Hey so what are with Flowers's struggles on the field. Seemed to never know where he was supposed to be on Saturday.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

The difference is UCLA and Tennessee are still paying failure money to coaches. Jimbo left on his own, FSU can afford to pull the trigger and replace Taggart if they wish.

It's funny, the Seminole dude in the logo looks like he's screaming in frustration.

Well, not to rub salt in your clearly evident wound, but this makes the 7th consecutive division title. My biggest concern this year is the bullpen. You're gonna play a lot of close games in October, and our 'pen is straight trash homie.

Was about to extend a hand, on the grounds that I had a grandfather who was a huge Dodgers fan.

But now you have called that into question.

Go Braves!!!

your face sucks

Hey newt, what website do you order your CBD oil from? I get mine locally right now, but want to see if it’s any cheaper where you order it.

Nope. They would still pay more. We are only paying Butch now and I believe he will get roughly 2.4 million next year. If they fired Taggart in February, they would owe him $17 million. We will be done paying Butch in February 2021. They have it way worse.

Boosters dont want to pay his buyout at fsu. It's hard to get them to donate for upgrades. That's why Jimbo left.

 

[85SugarVol]

Well this is ultimately the biggest point. California is just trying to pressure the NCAA to pass this rule for all student athletes that they already have in place for athletes in the Olympic sports.

It’s ultimately a question of “rights” and “freedoms” of adult men and women in this country. Should every person have the right to profit off his or her name? Or should we allow that to be stifled because we like watching college football on Saturdays?

They do profit.

The value of a UCLA degree is about $250,000

They had problems well before that.

No, coach Willie Taggart’s job isn’t in jeopardy heading into Year 2.

It can’t be. The money isn’t there.

FSU’s financial shortfalls haven’t been a secret. Athletic director David Coburn has been upfront about the Seminoles’ $3 million-plus deficit in the 2018 fiscal year. The athletic department needed 6 million dollars from boosters just to balance the budget.

Fixing those problems through greater collaboration between the boosters and athletic department was at the heart of why both sides agreed to form the FSUAA, a direct-support organization established by FSU’s board of trustees last month. Money, in fact, was the first reason Russell cited in a May email to the board of directors, before they voted on the move.

“As we all know, the FSU Athletics program has been struggling financially,” Russell wrote.

Random thought:

The spin move is the most effective but underutilized move for a ball carrier.

I stand corrected, I should have read that in more detail. That is crazy money.

We are officially a basketball school.

 

[mrorange211]

Couple of players on the team told me they expect Josiah to stay two years. I dunno how reliable it is but the perception around the program is that he won't bolt next year giving us another national championship contending team for 2020-2021.

Guys you’re wasting your time on this California state law. It is meaningless because of interstate commerce clause. Even if they keep all their games and broadcasts in state it still violates the commerce clause because it has impacts in other states. Clearly won’t ever be enforceable so don’t waste your time thinking about it. Would take the US Congress to pass something like this to have any real impact.

And if you doubt me on this, google the 1942 case Wickard v Filburn.

California legislature has a bad habit of doing this. Set precedent and hope it dictates national action. On the privacy front, they may get their wish since Congress is inept.
