    Remember when Coach Napier said this was a talent acquisition business?

    Pepperidge Farm remembers...

    And we just jumped 7 spots in the team rankings with another top 300 player and top 10 TE that gives me Kyle Pitts vibes. So yes he is still acquiring talent, and if you've missed it he is quietly building a YUGE OL (w/depth)

    I remember the top 100 commit we landed early this afternoon… to go along with the two 5-stars and 2 top 50 LBs we have committed already.

    Funny …you never seem to be active on any of those commitment threads.

    Edit: …and he just acquired another one.

    Edit 2: …and another. Boy, your smart ass post just isn’t aging well at all.

    Edit 3: …and yet …another. You’re really not good at this. It has to be embarrassing.

    Me too but it’s looking like we might have dodged a Rashada-like problem. I really get the impression (and validated by insiders to remain unnamed) that Coach Napier is building a legit team kinda out of old school values - and still rationally supported by NIL. No way in hell we bring in a kid and pay him more than whatever DJ is getting. And the fact that we don’t know those terms speaks volumes about the validity of DJ

    Screw the gold diggers

    Fine by me but we certainly seem to invest time and effort into their recruitment only to discover their priorities awfully late in the game.

    It is an unfortunate part of the recruiting landscape. You come to an agreement … then maybe bend a little … but unless you want to keep bending, you have to move on from some kids/families. It sucks, because I’m certain we did a lot of heavy lifting behind the scenes but at some point the nonsense becomes a liability to the program.
