Nice pickup for the Rockets.

Thank goodness… with 51, 75, 67 and 77 back next year we will have some options. Hopefully we can land just 1 more OL with the kid from NW. that’d give us a lot of options considering we’ll have Padilla and Ian Moore back too. Legit can get a best 5 from 10 or so kids

Yeah one depth piece would be great.

OSU probably needs a vet backup QB who doesn't having playing time expectations.

Good luck, Air.

Yeah, sad that we won't get to see him throw for the S&G. Hope he lights it up!

The rumored NIL request was $750k, so scUM went above that. Crazy for a kid who hasn’t been much of a factor in 2yrs at Bama. But hey, spend that Ellison money

I was just thinking the same thing. He is getting paid for being a former 5*, and not for actual production.

If Bama valued him, he would still be there.

Haynes is not worth the money. Has had two years to show his worth and what has he done?

Alford will turn him into a super star. Magical transformation.

So Kentucky next year then, right?

things I could see:
-big schools pay to stash and call up projects at smaller schools
-hs kids start taking “gap” years to develop more before starting their eligibility clock (they already do but take this way further)
-only the elite of the elite go straight from HS to major college sports.
-the rest find homes at smaller schools and lower levels, ironically enough raising the quality of that product.
-or less and less guys go on to play college sports.
Some or all of that. Likely 9 or 10 things I’m not even thinking of.

It’s a real issue though. No doubt.

Ohio State needs to make a huge business deal with a JUCO to send players there. Won't count against eligibility years and get to mature a bit. I'm thinking similar to that school Eddie George went to but larger scale

He must be struggling with college level course work. It's getting worse

Yeah I completely forgot about the no clock JUCO ruling.

That's such a big deal.

Especially fringe Ohio kids… think of kids like Cardale Jones etc
