scUM and TEs is a match made in heaven. One of the only positions they actually have success recruiting(OL and DL are the only other 2)
It's almost June and they only have 6 commits with only 1 being in the top 200.
They aren't really looking very great for any other top 200 players currently outside of 2 OL
So much for that "unlimited money cannon"
They also claimed to WRs were going to be pushing to the front of the line to play with Underwood, that's also been determined to be a big lie.
Also predictably Tony Alford has already whiffed on all their top RB targets.
The only other guy I can find that they are recently trending for is DL Ben Boulware (according to on3), whos #501 overall and the #59 DL in the 247 composite

Yeah, Ive seen that their collective barely talks about deals because they’re worried about where the sanctions could land. And they don’t want to give a bunch of money to a kid who signs, gets punished by the sanctions and then eventually leaves and they don’t get the money back. That’s one of the main hold ups for any of the top players in the class
And I can assume thats why Ellison also hasn’t been so willing to just throw money around anymore. He told his girl, I got you a QB. Now leave me the hell alone

I hate defending those clowns, but they had less than 6 commits at this point last year I believe and finished with a decent class. Maybe recruits are waiting to see what is going to happen with the NCAA.

I think the word is out there that serious penalties are coming. Even if the media is quiet about it, you can bet coaches are pushing it.

Every player on their roster, signed to be on their roster or considering being on their roster is about to be in play.
I don't think there is any chance that isn't in the air to some degree or another.

Just wondering...are the NIL expectations from a recruit from say, South Dakota differ from those of a kid from LA? Comparison of the expectations of a recruit from a larger economic area, versus one from a not-so-high area, and/or those of a recruit from large, class AAAA school versus that of a smaller, maybe 7-on-7 league. Might guess that a school's recruiting strategy might be a tad different as well.

The expectations are the same because they have professional agents.

I'm guessing the players NIL expectations rely more on how highly sought after they are and not the area they are from.
If a 5 Star QB is from South Dakota he's going to be expecting the same treatment as a equal 5 star from LA or NYC or whatever.

Probably correct, just wondering if a low-cost living area might squeak by with a lower offer. But then factoring in the internet, the recruits might speak with each other. It used to be verboten to ask a colleague what they made. Group of us once did that, and it raised all sorts of heck when the females (equally bright and educated) made less than the males (who - me- made less with an MBA from tOSU versus Harvard/Stanford). We all got a stern talking to by our supervisor.

Problem is, like @buckeyemania11 said, a 5star is a 5star regardless of location. And he's a 5star because he's proven himself, not just at his HS, but also in national camps against similar talent. Jackson Cantwell is going to be a 5star OT, in BFE, MO, just like he would if he lived in Chicago or Atlanta.
And also, yeah these kids all talk to one another.
