Do not donate. Contact the player on your own that you want to get to come to state. Its not illegal for a private citizen to do that if you arent employed by the university.Quote:

This would send a clear signal to investors that MSU is getting serious. It will never happen until we have an administrative change.Quote:

Problem is our competition is increasing their player ratings.Quote:

Auburn wont be down long if they hire the right guy and get their NIL shit together.
Right now I don't see that this year. They're recruiting about the same too. TAM had great year last year but they've been in top 5 / top 10 for a few years now I think. They always recruit better than they play.Quote:

NIL really helps the wealthy schools that underachieve annually aka Texas, USC, Oregon. It may eventually remove Bama from the top spot.
If you play the portal right, it may not be as disastrous for us as some think.

A&M needs a new coach to put all that talent to use. Jimbo ain’t it.
This is pretty close to what I was saying. So TAM bounced up with Jimbo before NIL. Right now they're 24th but they only have 11 recruits. So I do think NIL will adversely affect us but I'm not sure I'm seeing that much just yet. However, this year ain't over yet either.Quote:

Similarly, if you pick up a player who flips even just 1 loss to a win, it's a huge portal success. KJ Costello wasn't great either, but without him we lose to LSU in 2020.
Thus, Lashley and Costello should be counted as transfer portal wins, not busts.
Bulldog Club since day one, football season tickets for 50 plus years (8 to 12 per year), many special projects over the years. Hail State!Quote:

I don't see a huge difference.
Here, I see a staff that needs to recruit better and a school that needs to commit to being a good program.

This guy has not committed to a school and is pocketing money ahead of time?
Article says he is committed to Duke BB.Quote:

"We Salute You", (AC/DC) all! Now on to 7-5, at least, with a win over OM. Hail State!Quote:

Nothing has changed in football money wise, boosters are every school still play the lead in recruiting and we aren't keeping up.
Now, I expect us to be a 6-6 to 8-4 team with a 9+ win team every 3-5 years. But those that have higher expectations need to donate more. I'm not a fan of spending other people's money and I'm ok with understanding we will never have the fanbase or money to compete for dec championships in football every year.
