I calculated it earlier and it put us 17 or 18. That obviously could have changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Wait.. where are all the jokers that want to just talk when things are going poorly? I could ramble off 3 or 4 names pretty quick that just post on here when we lose or whatever. Smh. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU878176 Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Right now 247 has us at 19th in the country. Did I think that would happen after our season? No, hell no!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU878176 Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) This is fun especially compared to the days when we were the only Power 5 offer for half or more of our recruits (and some of the others would only have an offer from us and someone like Illinois). The transfer portal is also looking good. Hopefully we can stay relatively injury free and have a turnaround season in spite of yet another brutal schedule (in regards to the schedule I just looked and our crossovers are home opener vs NW and @NE which is a lot better than starting @IA this year).

Seeking6 Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Shocker. Just looked at rankings for Big 10....the East is basically 1-7 and the West is the rest. Shocker I tell you.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta wonder if there are rules around coaches and their private investments? With coaches making so much money and then also guys like Deion and Penny Hardaway, Jerry Stackhouse, etc., in basketball, you'd have to think many of these guys invest in various company's. What is to stop a coach who has an investment in a company working with that company to offer specific recruits deals for going to their school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is what it is....and I have zero problem with some of these guys cashing in if they find someone willing to pay it. Edit-I will say that maybe the best path to millions is proper coaching/development over the next 3 years but if the kid thinks he'll get that from Deion and still earn this $ so be it. Deion better deliver or this could be over in a few years for the elite talent. Edited December 15, 2021 by Seeking6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierinbham Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 I just have to wonder about the effect on his development going against that level of competition. Unless it was agreed he would go there for one year, then transfer to one of the elite FBS programs, you would have to think this is a big gamble. Plus, other than social media, how the heck is that kid gonna get the kind of exposure to deliver ROI?! Guess we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New world gang! Have to imagine it’s gonna be tough for this kid to shine at Jacksonville State at CB. Opposing teams will avoid throwing in his direction. I’d be willing to bet he’ll be transferring to a power 5 school in a year or two. Unless you’re a QB this kinda move doesn’t work in football but I’m shocked there’s not more of this in basketball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will cheer harder for a kid to succeed that goes HBCU than a kid that goes to Duke or Kentucky, that is for sure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked for Walter Payton and Jerry Rice right? I know those are two cheap examples on my part...but if a kid has the talent he'll get to the league. Shoot...nobody knows where Cooper Kupp went to college but all he's doing is putting up historical numbers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shouldn't touch that cash (most of it) until he moves on to the next stage of his life. Same with rookies in pro sports, it seems like a lot of money until you blow it all and never make much again. It can go really fast if you're not smart and just start buying houses. I pray to baby Jesus these kids get financial help and put the $$$ into a trust or something. This won't be any different than rookies blowing all their money before they play their first game. They're in major debt before they get their first paycheck. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Loving all these commits. Am I just crazy that I’m still holding my breath for some OL help? Does it say something positive about what we have or negative in kids belief in us developing them we aren’t seeing more action on this front?
