Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

This is common sense. To me you are anti common sense.

Every league in sports has contracts. In what world should players be free agents more or less every year.

I’m not understanding how you could be on the opposite side of this.

If they’re getting paid this should be like the NFL etc. College football is lawless right now with this stuff.
What part of no CBA in place right now confuses you so badly?

You cannot restrict pay/movement of people no matter their profession if they haven’t had a say in it.

2027 TN RB David Gabriel Georges (Verbal Offer)

Would it be considered negative recruiting if tOSU had DGG sit down and watch the recent UT v tOSU playoff game? Maybe show clips of tOSU DL pounding the snot out of their QB? Plus holding UT's RB to under 80 yards? Guess that would depend on which side of the field one sits on.....
I negative recruit every few weeks if so

WR Jeremiah Smith (All B1G, B1G Freshman of Year, B1G WR of Year, Unanimous All-American, 2025 Rose Bowl Off MVP, National Champion)

He made about 5 must have catches that year. I was in high-school during that season, and thats when I started to go grey. That season will never be topped.

No season will ever get even close to that. The champ game was the single most satisfying W I've ever witnessed or will ever witness

U.S. Men's National Soccer (Official Thread)

I can't recall where I read the article (probably ESPiN), but it was talking about how Erling Haaland came up slowly. I guess instead of just tossing him to the highest levels his progress was a bit more intentional to make sure he continued to play, get better, and not lose his love of the sport (that final part is my interpretation). I wonder how much intentionality there is with American soccer, at least on the men's side.
Haaland was definitely brought along slowly, at least by todays standards, in the clubs he played at. He first played at Bryne (his youth club) and then at Molde in Norway from 2015-2019. Then he went midcard for a year (Red Bull in Austria) for a year before moving to Dortmund in 2020.

All that said, he started playing at Bryne when he was 16 and moved to BD when he was like 20…so I guess it really wasn’t that slowly.

Name, Image, & Likeness (NIL) at tOSU

I don't know where to put my thoughts but I wanted to get the feedback of NIL people on positional spend. Essentially, where programs should focus their money.

I have this working theory that you shouldn't really spend alot of money on Tight Ends. Since the likelihood of developing a player into a TRUE Brock Bowers/Kyle Pitts/Tyler Warren are low - you're better off recruiting and paying a 2-3 star recruit and growing them into a decent player.

The tight ends where they run 8 yards, turn around, catch the pass and fall backwards picking up an extra yard - but spend the majority of their time blocking and in pass pro.

IDK - just think the ROI is alot lower on TE's

Miami (FL) Hurricanes (1926-2003)

Miami star Malachi Toney emulating his game after a great former Ohio State receiver

Miami's most exciting offensive player is trying to be like this Ohio State great.

The Ohio State football program produces great receivers every year. More than any other program, the Buckeyes produce stars year after year at that position. In fact, they have now produced a first-round receiver in each of the last five seasons after Carnell Tate was taken fourth overall in April.

That will increase to six years next season once Jeremiah Smith is drafted. They have become the standard program against which all others are judged. Now, even current players at other programs are looking to emulate former Ohio State receivers because of how good they were.

Malachi Toney tries to emulate his game after former Ohio State receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba

While speaking on The Journey, Toney revealed that he is trying to model his game after Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Njigba was one of the best players for the Buckeyes before he went to the NFL. Toney believes that he has a lot of similarities to what JSN has to offer.
