Spiegelman must be one really unlikable fuck. Got "intel" it wasn't Bama the day before Haynes and Young committed.
Tom Loy’s take on the on3 Oregon prediction “not sure how that came about, recruiting gets crazier every day”
Maybe Dick Young put out a smoke screen. We have a recruit tomorrow that most believe is committing to UCF but his top 3 is UNC, Nebraska, and Wisconsin.
The problem is how high the desperate teams raised the ante. The ‘going rate’ for 4* was around $50k-$100k, and 5* was anywhere from $100k-$300k. After some of the shit that has been thrown around, kids are now getting 10x that (or more). But, now that the new market has been set, some perennial powers have been (very recently) given the green light to participate in the madness, too. This new market isn’t sustainable for most teams. It will be interesting to follow, especially once the transfer portal opens back up this next off-season.
Edit guys and people like Wiltfong convincing kids to give up their decision by needing quotes for an article really annoy me. If a kid wants to give away their decision then sure but there's no surprises anymore.
In all honesty how did Hayes Fawcett manage to get this far pushing out the same shitty edit over and over? He got a full blown career off of it
It’s more now his network within the croot community and ability to keep intel close. Why do I know this my god why
Meh. That may have been the going rate, but you are forgetting the cash given to these kids just to vist, moving the family from Hawaii to Tuscalosa, the dodge chargers, the do nothing job for mom, etc. To think it ended at the 300k the kid got to sign is foolish. The total number after these kids left school was much higher. If you didn't think the money was already changing for recruits while the money got bigger and bigger for schools, I don't know what to tell you. The only thing NIL did was bring the numbers into broad daylight so we can see that player X is getting Y amount of money for his entire college career. As for the market being sustainable, it hasn't been sustainable for decades. 16 of the last 22 titles have been won by 6 total teams. Those same 6 teams finish as the runner up to the eventual champion a bunch of times as well. Parity in college football is a laughable joke. It's run by the schools who cheat the best and are smart enough not to get caugh. Also the traditional powers haven't "recently" been given the green light. It's the same traditonal powers at the top 5 of the recruiting rankings that have always been there.
Man get outta here. Twitters algorithm constantly throwing me the same things over and over from people I don't follow just because I like keeping up with recruiting. Hold on you've posted like 10 times in a decade. You know him or something?
I mean theres a reason why these guys get the intel or the edits and its because they are typically the same age as the croots Hayes started when he was 14
Spoiler I have known many ‘handlers’ (mainly through my nearly two decades as a speed and agility trainer), and have had candid conversations with many guys who played in the league, about what they got while in college. The rabbit hole was never as deep as people made it out to be. The cars, fake jobs, and places to live were mainly how it all went down. The money was filtered through an uncle’s ‘newly acquired landscaping business’ or something, but the amounts were never in the current ballpark. I’ll drop it though, b/c it really doesn’t matter anymore. Step up, or get passed.[/spoiler)
