Only the top end guys are commanding the money people think NIL is. And more of that s on deals than actual fan money. Give me this over Alabama buying up everybody. Alabama will never again. dominate like they did in the past era. Now, things could change again and will, so we'll have to see then what it looks like, but I'm good with the current situation until it's moved to the schools. I've got a bigger problem with $10MM+ coaching salaries.Quote:

Probably going to get some good news later this week.
No complaints on the efforts of the staff to secure players.
went from 44 to 33 who did they get ??
CB Derrion Horsley, .87 and LB LaKendrick James, .86 finally got their composite rating. Now all 17 of our commits are counted in the team rankings as we now have 3 4 star and 14 3 stars. Nearly all of our commits' composite scores are lower than the 24/7 ranking. Can someone tell me what services rankings that are included in the composite? ThanksQuote:

After 25 years of following MSU recruiting I’m pretty sure we will ALWAYS land between 20-35 in recruiting rankings with rare outliers in the positive or negative. I’ve more or less lost interest in it especially with the transfer portal and NIL.Quote:

So, David Turner just lost a 4-star instate DT that we really wanted to...wait for it...not LSU, Bama or even om...to Arkansas...friggin Arkansas!!! How could you possibly not outsell a lame duck coach for a terrible program, who will probably be no better than 6-6 this year...for an instate kid??? He's pretty much gone O-fer for every decent instate DL over the last 3 recruiting cycles...its time
It was time before we even brought him back. Still no clue why he was brought back, much less kept.Quote:

We need to figure out why we are not attracting the best players in state.
Welcome to the NIL era. If this doesn't put the program in the coffin, nothing will.
Broke ass dogs, and a broke ass fan base will be bottom dwellers for now on without doing something besides bitching about everything.
make those players feel preciated
We aren’t broke. FAR far from it actually. We’re middle of the pack in terms of NIL.Quote:
