5* RB is pretty much worthless in terms of the team winning if the talent around him isn't good enough across the board to compete with the true higher end teams in the country.

I keep saying it but Bijan Robinson at Texas is the best example for this

He had very good Sophomore and Junior seasons.........Texas went a combined 13-12 in those seasons.

Agreed. I wish we got Bijan, because he's fun to root for in the NFL. But that and a quarter will get me a bouncie ball at the pizza joint.

Well to be fair, they tried over paying for a QB and look where that got them.

Yeah, I wouldn't be happy at all if I was a current Vol RB, or a Vol player in general. The coaches just told your team that a HSer is more important than the whole team

And that's NIL in a nutshell. Gotta be nearly impossible to keep everyone happy, duh. Overpay for one guy/position, and the others say "what about me" (Am I chopped liver?) And what about the 2-3 year players at the position, that have put in the time/work, and make a fraction of what the new guy is getting? Not saying anything original, although believe that tOSU's philosophy will work on the deep thinkers, rather than the 'I want it now' type of guy. The 'extras' for family members appears to have expanded beyond a house for parents, and/or a nice job in C'bus for the family.
