TN RB David Gabriel Georges (Tennessee Verbal)

Ohio State should make their best offer and hold firm knowing there are some major silver linings to not insanely overpaying to match Tennessee.

1. You don’t disrupt your current RB room (and roster in general) with someone making more money than everyone else. Jackson and West are solid and both have at least two years of eligibility remaining.

2. You don’t overpay at a position that has historically proven to not be worth that type of investment.

3. You free up extra resources to invest across the roster at other positions of need.

4. It’s highly possible Tennessee crashes and burns and has a new head coach in the very near future. Ohio State might get another chance in this recruitment soon.

It seems highly likely Tennessee goes full desperation mode and throws whatever money it takes to get DGG and his family to overlook the many, many advantages Ohio State offers over Tennessee - I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say it’s literally everything outside of money and maybe immediate playing time.

If Ohio State lands DGG, awesome, he’s probably going to be really good, and trust the coaches on the locker room cohesion and resource management.

If DGG chooses the desperation giant bag of money at Tennessee, shrug and appreciate the silver linings. Tennessee has a way of making things stupid and much easier to appreciate walking away from.

Same here

If it's really about development and good enough money then OSU should clearly be in the lead.

If it's more about the upfront money and development in the backseat then UT should be the destination.

He will get both wherever he goes but which one matters more? (and I have nothing but respect for the kid and his family if it's the upfront money. It's the smart play)

And once again the prevent defense prevents a team from winning ...

I was going to log in and say when England started that...I don't know shit about soccer but I know a prevent defense preventing a win when I see one.

Went into it waaaayyyyy too early

Entertaining though, as far as soccer goes for me.

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.
