    I wonder if Filsaime knew something when he asked LJ if he was flipping on IG live last night

    They’ve got brand new ones. It may be time.

    I could never work in this industry. You spend time evaluating and developing a relationship, get a commitment from a player, to only have a school come in and slide a number across the table. Outside of a couple guys, just know this, these guys don’t care about the university. Only about $$$.

    It will be ugly until they all have professional agents. Then it will get uglier.

    This is absurd. The NIL scheme has empowered 18-22 year old boys (research has shown this group has the decision making ability of someone who is clinically insane) and now they dictate how the game will be played.

    I'd really like to talk to the alum that write these checks. What the heck are they thinking?

    Then why are we still trying to do things the old way? Why do we insist on “winning with class?” That concept died with NIL. We can lose with class, or we can make the commitment to winning.

    “I logged a 247Sports Crystal Ball in favor of Auburn this morning for Amaris Williams. The relationship with Jeremy Garrett who signed a new deal with the Tigers excites and gives Williams comfort regarding his potential future position coach. Ohio State has also come back into the picture the last couple days. Williams loved his experience in Columbus both times this fall. Sources around Florida think it will go Auburn's way.”

    Is it really worth spending time re-recruiting players that have already committed? College football is a Portal Game where you let someone like Saban or Kirby coach up a player and get them as sophomores. If they back out due to money, they have no relationships with the coaches, which means they will be in the portal in a year.

    “It’s looking good for Alabama down the stretch for Daytona Beach (Fla.) Mainland Top247 safety Zavier Mincey, the No. 6 safety in the country and No. 71 prospect overall. Checking with a source this morning, they thought Miami led for much of the fall but the intel is favoring the Crimson Tide at the end. Florida and Florida State round out the finalists.”

    Because we're wasting so much time and money on recruiting kids that haven't played a snap in college.

    What he says and what he does might end up being two different things.

    Ouch, this class about to get gutted. With the potential of Hayes, McCray and Williams flipping we may be looking at a class in the 20’s.
