People need to use common sense and realize that certain sports fund others, and that the wise investment for everyone is to invest in what will generate a return. I have a daughter who plays 2 high school sports. If she were to somehow land a scholarship somewhere, I'd never pretend that football and men's basketball didn't play a significant part in her sport being able to be funded.

Today through Wednesday is the dead period so no visits are happening.

I concur
However logic has little to do with the NIL.

What do you think our record needs to be to give recruits and fans confidence in CAG? Is 7-5 good enough?
Until / Unless he turns into James Franklin after like 6 years, confidence for me will always be based on the eye test - tough team with a competent and entertaining offense and defense.
All SEC schedules are just insane, and clearly, the Texas schools will always have more money to spend.

I think they said they will dedicate $25 mill each year. But we get $5 mill for selling the home game to Atlanta. I think that's where $30 mill comes from.

Right. However, they can still commit & sign during the dead period, so we're still hoping to get some news on a few of the players we're chasing...

The ghost expects both the USF Coles to commit by the end of the day today. He also posted a pic Durkin captioned “it’s gonna be a good day” so that might mean Shamar Arnoux pops today. Finally, he said “an electric” WR would commit soon. Maybe Noah Rogers?

Any update on Tegra? I’ve heard it’s a fight.

I know we wanted to tar and feather Cohen for selling that game but he's in a tough place.

Maybe I'm the only one.. and let me start by saying I'm not against taking him and I can see where he has potential... but is it not a little strange that we don't have an experienced back up QB? Not expecting anyone great or anything, but a lower level guy with a couple years starting experience seems like what most would aim for in a back up QB. Our back up QB has next to no experience.. actually off the top of my head all 3 back up QBs are freshman. That's not very common. I think that's an interesting decision.

Gumps melting down. They were only paying Ty 800k and are shocked they cant get people to stay.

Didn't he sign?

Wow, look at that...metafour was right again! #MetaGodKnows.
As I was saying, this is your obvious backup QB. A low 4-star developmental QB with upside and tools who wont mind sitting for another year. They will observe him for a season in the system, and then they can decide whether to roll with a QB competition for 2027 with the other USF kid, or to bring in a proven starter from the Portal, depending on the development of the two young backups.
I cant believe that Golesh didn't go all out and bring in Sam Leavitt as well. Coulda had a dope QB competition, and then if the starter gets hurt we'd have another elite QB ready to jump right in!

Its not strange at all.
UGA's backup is a Freshman with 27 career pass attempts (Ryan Puglisi).
Indiana's backup is a Redshirt Freshman with 25 career pass attempts (Alberto Mendoza).
Texas A&M's backup was a Redshirt Freshman with 20 career pass attempts (Miles O'Neill - he just transferred out). Their 3rd string was True Freshman Brady Hart.
Tennessee's backup was a Redshirt Freshaman with 33 career pass attempts (Jake Merklinger - he just transferred out). Their 3rd string was True Freshman Geiorge Macintyre.

I heard it’s 50/50 right now. Money is a hang up. He’s also considering Ole Miss. if it’s only about money we should be able to out bid them if we want him bad enough.

I guess. I can see the long term reasoning, but Brown has been injured before and is a running QB. I would feel a whole lot more comfortable with some experience behind him. If he goes down none of those other QBs are ready yet. That's a big risk to take imo. I'm surprised they brought him and the USF QB in instead of one or the other, but maybe they just really like both.

A blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then. Deuce wasn’t leaving if old piss’s QB got his waiver approved.

Man. It’s going to be hard to get a talented backup with experience. This is a new age in cfb. Someone with talent AND experience is going to be starting somewhere.
