This is a bit right? You do know and understand UGAs recruiting is directly attributable to buying players right? We have seen what? 3 or 4 stories about it this offseason alone.

Are you admitting the Hogs pay for players? If so y’all might want to up your ante. Not getting much for your money

The NIL should be a boon for us. We have several large corporations that have already committed to be on board for it. We just don't have the small biz backers that funnel money like you and Bama.

Not sure why you are trying to play coy about this. You must "know a guy" who knows a guy huh?

I don't think so. He quit during the season then flirted with coming back and went to UGA instead. That's the only two times unless I'm missing something which, let's face it, is very possible.

Are you counting trying to goto Florida as another time?

Nope. There is no need for UGA to pay anyone. Bama either. These schools are dream destinations for top athletes. They WANT to go to UGA and Bama.

Not concerned with initial deals, just renegotiation?

Kids get paid. It's a big money game. Just wait until NIL era, these kids may be taking pay cuts to go to the pros.

LSU fans are taking this personal. Even LSU media and reporters are wishing violence on him...shaking with rage, frothing at the mouth and red in the face.

It's just confusing, what exactly has LSU fans particularly so pissed about this? It seems they've taken this extremely personal.
Am I missing something?
Why are LSU fans enraged and wishing violence on a teenager and talking about his mental state?

It seems they have some vendetta against him and want to drive him to hurt himself or get hurt by others.

That's what it sounds like. Pay these guys once and they try to bleed you dry.

This is generally true for the top programs. We saw this year that when kids couldn’t go on official visits that they defaulted to the elite programs at an even higher rate than usual. Alabama signed arguably their best class ever over Zoom calls. Official visits probably hurt the schools who actually have a motivation to cut corners and cheat a bit on the fringes. Can’t set the kid up to get succ-n-fucc’d at a party the night of their visit. Hard to have boosters do 100/1000-dollar handshakes with untraceable cash when they can’t bump into the player just off campus or whatever.

This guy needs to shut his mouth. Not a true insider if he doesn't know the reason he's asking for that amount is because that's what LSU paid him to go to Baton Rouge. All these young kids with podcasts are so stupid and aren't connected at all.

Some have gotten really mad. I'm guessing that the quitting mid-season has something to do with it and then the courting part for the second time and getting spurned is another part.

I would have loved to have had him back. He has a chance to be an elite player. But, in the end, he's just one dude and we have a shite ton of other dudes.

Any one who wishes violence on any player should be permanently banned from ever attending games again.

Yes, and I thought he announced he was coming back to LSU after that. I think he told LSU to frick OFF!! a record 4 times in about 8 months.

God I love that dude for that.

It's really dumb to take things to thst extreme. Even at my worst with anger issues I never wished injury on players. They have to do what's best for them, not for me.

Who is Blake Ruffino and where are the the people wishing for him to be hurt and such?
