ttun recruiting (all classes)

A Statement :lol: :lol: :lol:

These "recruiting wins" mean less than ever with the addition of the NIL variable.

Even then, naturally the DFBIA is acting as if Torbert is some sure fire can't miss top 10 overall recruit in his class type recruit. He's a good prospect, but he's not that.

Michigan is having to constantly overpay for guys and is still probably not even finish with a top 10 class in the end. Just like last year. Their transfer portal class wasn't really much of a home run either, the only guys i'd call possible B1G caliber starters they brought in only came because they followed Whittingham from Utah. They really are only surviving along and not having a gigantic dropoff because they can throw massive amounts of NIL at guys like Torbert.

And I don't even think the offer for Torbert was some insane number, it was just a number that OSU didn't want to match or beat because CB isn't as much of a concern. There's a handful of positions that using the Portal won't cause much of a dropoff, and CB is one of them. Walt likes the 2 guys he landed, and both seem to understand that they may need seasoning and won't see the field until year 2 or 3. Torbert didn't want to hear that, so best of luck.

They will definitely have to overspend to keep up, and Whitt will find out quickly that patience will run thin fast in AA. Especially if this was considered their "win" and at the same time 5star WR, Jett Harrison becomes a Buckeye. And thats several days after 5star DL, Marcus Fakatou became a Buckeye. Oh, and several days before that HIGH 4star OL, Caden Moss became a Buckeye. :day:

No news, but the Alumni Association called me while I was driving about an hour ago.

The car radio was playing “Hang On, Sloopy” at the time. How did they know?

Some phone apps listen to what’s going on and sell this data, so assuming you had your phone with you, it’s technically possible they knew. Not sure how likely it is that actually had something to do with the timing, but it could have.

I mean, how fast can a guy named Jett be really?

WELCOME!

Depends how important the baseball and how big the dog is.

That said, very cool to see. This seems about as drama free as it will ever go for a top recruit. I’d imagine the Harrison’s would make sure it’s about development plain and simple.

Arizona State Sun Devils (official thread)

Not to argue with you, because I agree. But I'm pretty sure it has everything to do with potential lawsuits if/when someone gets hurt.

True story:
Before I got to college, in the fraternity house that I later joined, they used to go up on the roof and hang out and party. To a 50-year-old, it seems silly. But maybe it makes sense to a 20-year-old who has had more beers than he should. Anyway, one night, a guy who was not in the fraternity (he didn't even go to school there) - he was just a friend of one of them - he went to the deli down the street, used a fake ID to buy beer, went to the house, drank some beers, and decided to go on the roof. According to the investigation, the guys told him not to go up on the roof. I guess they didn't restrict his access well enough, because up he went. Some time later, he fell off. It's a 3-story house. He and his family sued the deli that sold him beer, the local fraternity chapter, the national fraternity headquarters, and probably some other parties. Maybe the school? I think the case finally settled after I got out of college.
Anyway, my point is that if the school doesn't expel him, maybe it looks like they're complicit in his actions, and if/when someone else gets hurt, the door is wide open for a lawsuit.

So that's my guess - take some kind of stance against this behavior or a lawsuit is going to hit you in the belly and steal your lunch money.

Similar to the targeting rule in college: penalize the hits to head and neck area, or it will look like you condone these hits. Penalize them now and you've got some ammo against any future lawsuits.

I'm sure this will come off as homerism after he picked us, but I've been of the opinion Moss is a fringe 5* since I watched his film (camp and game). He'll need some work on weight distribution and technique, but really that's 95% of OL recruits coming out of HS (or more). Moss has all the tools to be an elite OT and at worst will be a 3 year starter type, perhaps inside at guard. Lots of work in the weight room and coaching, but 2-3 years out I can see revisiting Moss and seeing why he is in the 5 star discussion.

Regardless, I'm ecstatic to land him. Great prospect and a steal from the heart of the south.

I’m not sure of his chops, but in theory it’s a great hire.

An NFL scout monitoring the transfer portal? Good deal.

I just created a thread for him and then saw this discussion.

I agree, this is a baller move. I presume that having anyone with an NFL background paying attention, full time nonetheless, to everyone else’s players who are ripe to be picked is better than nothing. Putting that on Pantoni would be too much.
