I thought so too. But, with Luka and Kyrie, if one is slipping the other one will get you. Incredible players. ...

I want to see the litigation over what is deemed "true NIL" and not pay for play and the market rates of NIL. The market rate in Austin, TX can't be the same as Starkville, MS. ...

Dude has done nothing like Denver Harris endangering lives in that parking garage or fighting with teammates. The kid's grades were good at Colorado. No legal issues. He just didn't mesh with Deion. So, he's a good take. ...

re: Pete Cordelli Blasts Brian Kelly, Dabo, Jack Swarbrick, Recruiting, & Admissions Alibis
Posted by Shaft Williams on 5/14/24 at 8:08 am
I agree with Cordelli that there's been star bumping at Bama. Bama post-Sark/Kirby/Pruitt recruiting was a shell of itself.
I agree that the academic standards at ND preventing coaches from winning national championships is a lie. BK sent to many guys to the NFL while at ND not to have won bigge...

Saban has been criticized too over his opinions on pay for play players since he's retired. Any multimillionaire coach will be criticized for being against player compensation in any form. And, honestly, as a Capitalist, I'm on the side of the players. ...

re: The criticism of Brian Kelly is interesting
Posted by Shaft Williams on 5/9/24 at 2:48 pm
If I didn't know better I'd swear BK is trying to bring expectations down at LSU. In the past, LSU fans wouldn't be trying to prop a coach up who hasn't won a natty. Rather, they would be pissed that they are not attracting much needed portal DL who are going to conference rivals. ...
re: Kelly says things not going well on defensive line recruiting
Posted by Shaft Williams on 5/9/24 at 2:29 pm
[quote]UGA is rarely the top bidder for players. We can probably sell the chance of winning a national title better than any other program in college football at the moment. Even so, we rarely get players other than at positions where we can sell playing time as well. In the last transfer period 8 o...

LSU was at #7 in the 2023 Team Talent Composite, Miami was at #12, Ole Miss was at #23.
Impossible to make up that much of a difference in one offseason.

[quote]Talent, facilities, recent success[/quote]
Facilities mean little due to NIL. This is why Ole Miss pivoted and stopped putting funds to a stadium refurbishment and put the funds toward NIL. Miami at their greatest never had great facilities.
