2024 National Recruiting Thread: #BooStew24

How does this rule apply to the cookie cake industrial complex?

 

Can’t put the player’s name on it anymore. I’m not joking

 

My parents used to own a Great American Cookie Company store in a mall

 

I’d quote this every time I worked at the cookie store. There was a chicken fil a in the food court.

 

GOAT sugar cookies.

 

They were great. I enjoyed the snickerdoodles.

 

I know Arkansas HS Football is trash, but I look forward to watching this guy under perform at Auburn like all Arkansas QBs do

 

Very bizarre recruitment that I am glad is over.

 

Second from left is wearing jorts. So on brand

 

we postin team site fluff in here now?

smh

 

And zero chance Pete could squeeze even one of his dumpy ass thighs in those jorts.

 

in fairness they do look like size youth Smedium

 

nobody jerks off to meaningless tweets like boo

 

Fair. Probably don’t see a lot of those paired up with compression socks.

 

That ND Oline machine keeps right on rolling

 

Kinda wild Harvard finished 2nd for kid right outside of 5 star range

 

sometimes nerds can play

 

People forget Myron Rolle was a Rhodes Scholar.

 

We recently had a 5* OT just quit football because by year 3 he was a mediocre guard and decided he was just going to go pro in school, so that's probably in the range of outcomes in play here

 

I'll never forget the time he recited Shakespeare on the field from memory

 

....that could in fact NOT "can play"

 

Nice get on the ‘25 QB as well

 

lol maybe in the winter time in the midwest

still seems like bullshit

 

Ok so?

 

If they’re bringing family for an unofficial that lasts a couple days, that may just be travel expenses at this point

 

This is not just in the midwest. And I think it's more than $5k for some kids.

You're not allowed to pay any of those expenses for an unofficial, are you?

 

Maybe these kids are sending body doubles and are just being compensated for their likeness

 

I thought the NCAA allows schools to reimburse recruits for cost incurred for unofficial visits.

 

OSU is just afraid of actually trying for recruits now

 

Maybe. Pretty sure they're not allowed to hand over $10k+ in cash on the visit or get into bidding wars with other schools competing just for visits, though. And that's been happening for years.

 

Unofficials are not allowed to be paid for by the universities, at least when it comes to travel expenses.

So to siphon money to these kids via “NIL” to cover travel costs would technically be something that’s extremely murky from a rules standpoint at this point. But I’m sure everyone is doing it.

 

It’s absolutely happening. Paying guys to visit your school instead of another has been going on since the beginning of time. Now it’s just getting wrapped up in NIL money instead.

look at some of the visit schedules. You got schools hosting a bunch of out of state recruits when hosting a FCS opponent that just happens to coincide with a big home opponent weekend for the team you are competing against for that recruit.

 

us poors would never

smh disgustin

 

"now"

as if that isn't a thing of the past

aint got shit to do with NIL

 

I member when Patrick Johnson (now Peterson) was bragging about getting 20k just to visit LSU while committed to UM.

 

Who is he talking to and what's the subject of the conversation? Wrong answers only

 

Well the right answer is Jordan Seaton

 

Yeah people really think these kids are putting out the 3k+ it takes to visit a lot of these places? Paying for kids unofficials has been the most popular form of cheating for decades.

 

I always love the recruiting gurus saying how it’s such a big deal when an out-of-state recruit make an surprise unofficial visit “on his own dime”

 

Well it was on his own dime. That dime just happens to be reimbursed plus a little extra when there's a nice little duffle bag waiting in the hotel room.

Naw man family road trip It's just a 16 hour drive each way from South Florida to Ohio State. 32 hours in a car to see OSU play Youngstown St. is a VERY reasonable $200 in gas and a $100 hotel room.

 

lot of speed on that field
