    I hadn't followed the All Star games in a few years, but I guess underclassmen are allowed to play in them now? Interesting. Speaks to how the recruiting calendar had sped up.

    They used to be a big thing for top prospects making commitments, there was like one this year due to the early signing day. So the obvious solution is to bring in the next class of mostly uncommitted kids whom people care about.

    They had Tank Jones and Tyler Atkinson on campus this weekend. After they snagged Offord, I wouldn’t put anything past them

    We only had 15 5* on campus, unfortunately a couple didn’t make it. We endeavor to do better going forward.

    now?

    Championships have been bought since the beginning of time. The only change is that it is being done in the open for everyone to see.

    Little late to this, but woof at Jared Curtis' competition. He plays in the smallest private school division in TN, which is very weak. I think over 50% of his games last year were against other small Christian schools in middle TN.

    Spending money on players instead of spending that money tithing is why none of your schools will find succor on the day of judgement. Enjoy your "victories" now, heathens.

    You just paid a guy 3.1 million dollars a year to coach your defense when the previous record for a coordinator in college football was 2.5 million.

    What is it like living in one of these mf's house?

    "South Carolina coach Shane Beamer and QB/OC coach Mike Shula had an in-home visit with QB Jared Curtis in Nashville Thursday. Curtis is one of at least two quarterback the Gamecocks are heavily pursuing for the 2026 class. Auburn coach Hugh Freeze also made an-in home visit on Thursday. Curtis has also had in home visits this week with Florida State, Ohio State and North Carolina"

    The only thing higher than his 247 composite rating is his cholesterol.

    You know OSU posters have mellowed out in celebration of that natty when a post is made about them being a contender for a five star OT and none of them have complained about their inability to land 5 star OTs yet.
