It wasn't directed at you. I saw the tweet from Hoke. Just my impression of what's about to happen if this is our new trend.

Good luck to Waller. He had 1 tackle in 2 years.
Yeah, I know dude was injured his freshman year, but he was a 5* on some sites. He’s been a let down.

Yep same lack of thinking that Tank Bigsby displayed on another recent close but no cigar IB.

It's not who we offer. It's what we offer. You must be related to someone on staff.

How about you wait until they go through at least one portal class before concluding what they are or aren't offering LOL.
You are such a pussy its not even funny. You have zero idea what they are offering.
We have the dumbest fricking fans. An NIL strategy that aims to be smart does not conclude that they plan on trying to recruit 2 and 3 stars

I'd rather spend money and retain 5 stars. Dont know why we are trying to go moneyball.

Meta let me know if the teams we are supposed to be competing against for players will be doing their NIL as incentive based instead of just paying the players. We are going to have a lot more transferring out if that's how they are going to do things.

UGA is 100% calculated in their NIL spending. They let their starting QB walk a season ago. Their WR room was paid probably half of what ours was this past season, and its not because they don't have money.

Because we have a spending cap, and because all of the successful teams in literally all of the major NA sporting leagues are run that way? If college football is to be going the way of pro sports, then do you think your team should be run like the good teams that are smart and win, or the stupid teams that are bad and lose?
Furthermore, which "5 stars" have we not retained? Xavier Atkins is a 5 star. DeAndre Carter is not. Neither is Jaylin Carter, BTW.

My point is signing 5 stars. We wont. You have gone full Jonah Hill

And this is a prime example of people's impatience writing a story with conjecture, speculation, and today's drivel.
Doesn't it make maybe a little more sense that Jay and Malik aren't being processed? Maybe the coaches realize they can take that same exact amount of money and go get someone else of similar talent value that actually wants to be here?? Maybe Jay and Malik know they have a spot on a playoff roster? Doesn't a combination of these make a lil more sense than Golesh just being flat out stupid?
I mean you said it yourself and you even make a point to signal how foolish it sounds. You have exactly 0 to confidently back this premature jump to conclusion up. So maybe it's, just simply, not true.

Are you expecting there not to be growing pains when trying to turnovers a grossly overpaid roster?

These thoughts. What a dream until we hired the other Sumrall.

Coaches have a say in a player's value. Why did it take week 10 for Ashton Daniels stock to skyrocket.
frick that moneyball bullshite

The locker room and culture matter a great deal. Players talk. Misalignment in compensation can cause issues. The goal is to base evaluations more on production, with incentives incorporated. If you produce, you earn more. Leaving room for reinvestment is seen as a more egalitarian approach.
This helps prevent situations where players receive large sums before producing, while others who’ve contributed for years make the same or less. That imbalance can create locker room tension. Auburn is trying to create a stricter structure that leaves room for reinvestment while aligning with its internal valuations.
Auburn wants to reset the board, be fair and still offer strong NIL opportunities. This is not about Auburn being short on funds or lowballing players. The goal is a fair, predictable structure that aligns with culture and allows players to earn more as they improve.
With clearer expectations, you avoid situations where a backup player with limited production expects a raise simply because a year has passed. The hope is to reduce constant battles year over year.

He was given a war chest that is competitive with our peers. They've been floating that 20-30 mil number out for OSU the past couple years. We're not going cheap.
There's a bunch of details we're missing here and actually it sounds so stupid rn that I flat out don't believe it.

Has this happened? So far we have what, 2 projected starters enter and it is yet to be seen if they will actually transfer. Not just giving the players whatever they want is not the same as getting cheap.
