David Sanders Jr. (OL Tennessee)

[jwinslow]

I think OSU dodged a bullet on this one

OL recruiting is about potential and having options when you regularly fail.

How many Josh Simmons could you pick up for one David Sanders? 4? 8? (so that you can afford the ones that don't work out also... they won't all be Simmons + McLaughlin)

What I'll find in interesting, is what happens to the house, cars, etc if the kid doesn't produce. Because he better be in the 2 deep in year 1 and a starter/All SEC in year 2 for what he got. I'm not saying that will happen, but what is the expectation.
But something tells me Onianwa and/or Daniels has a better 25-26 year

So if I read this correctly I sense that part pof the "game" from the athlete's side is to get someone to up the ante on the place you want to be. I then wonder if a program might push the ante, not because they necessarily want the kid, but because it reduces the pot your opponent has to spend on other players? Kinda like the nuclear arms race, make the other guy go broke trying to keep up.

Oh most definitely I’m sure that’s already happening. I can see a team in the SEC doing that and that caused Saban to want out because he knew his collective couldn’t keep up with the constant bidding wars on the kids he wanted. Hard to sign that 3rd 5star RB or 4th 5star CB when Ole Miss, aTm or even Miami can offer even more and throw in extra for the family

I think it absolutely depends on the kids character throughout the process.

Kurelic is absolutely saying an OSU source called TN to let them know they were essentially “out” on their bid for him.

Not to say they didn’t want him, but they could tell they were being used to drive the price up.

Day wasn’t enjoying being played and had a staffer call TN to let them know OSU was withdrawing their NIL package.

The word is, TN reduced their package to Sanders knowing OSU was out.

In theory you could say that’s dumb bc TN now has $$$ to spend elsewhere. Or it’s smart bc recruits won’t fuck around with OSU if tying to use them for leverage.

I think in this case it was acceptable.

I agree.

If true, I love that
