    That’s the way it was this cycle but that’s only because the NCAA whiffed on putting up safeguards to prevent its abuse. I think we all know Jimbo will say it isn’t a problem as will Saban. However a lot of coaches are complaining about it, but an unintended consequence of their whiffing on NIL and portal safeguards is rival coaches using NIL to poach top athletes from other schools. I believe Notre Dame is being accused of doing this. The feeling is a coach shouldn’t have to keep recruiting their own team. Hopefully the NCAA will put some safeguards in place to keep this under control.

    Nfl has it right with their collective bargaining agreement. You can’t just protect the schools without protecting the players interest at the same time. Limiting a players monetary value and making a top player get the same as a lower player to protect schools is bs.

    Whatever it was, you see the results on five stars.
    No different than the last three years.

    It's going to get worse before it gets better. If it ever gets better...

    Money appears and trouble follows. Especially for the uneducated and greedy, unaccustomed to dealing with money. Imagine all the handlers (agents) and family members getting involved. Coming out of the woodwork, preying on recruits and schools and NIL companies. Fights between family members, kids, coaches, sponsors, etc. I fear a feces show of epic proportions coming.

    It's bad enough for NFL pros who have professional representation and some knowledge - but at lease there is a known system in place with guidelines and guard rails.

    I get what your saying but hasn’t this already been happening for a decade? Good ol boy system is just allowing everyone to play in the open now and a team like A&M is allowed to play now. It upsets the Apple cart a bit as to who will take the top classes but I don’t really see it as a major change. Mullen had us consistently around 10 whether he tried hard or not. Coaches have changed at several of the top 10 universities but their recruiting ( Ohio State, LSU) not so much. A kid is generally going to make the best “ business” decision for himself.

    Just more of the same. Why do you think Cope’s mom showed her ass. She doesn’t bleed Orange and Blue. You guys act like this just started. There’s just no need to hide anymore

    They list Kamari as a four star in all Gator releases for signing day, but hey whatever. Shamar and Kamari I will pull hard for them when they see the field! We have a lot of five star transfers that haven’t even seen the field yet. At least as freshmen I will allow them time to get used to the speed of SEC ball and get bigger and stronger. Hopefully they will be great.

    Both are 5’s on some sites. The debate really doesn’t matter. They are the same players and will hopefully be great. The sites up and down don’t mean Jack.
