2022 Worthless Recruiting Thread

Texas also flipped 4star CB Terrance Brooks.

you have to hand it to them, their NIL strategy is unique and ingenious. 

It's what I predicted every school with some reasonable amounts of booster money would end up doing.  I'm honestly surprised it took this long.  For Texas, or anyone else.  I suppose the attorneys really needed to sift through the rules closely to ensure compliance.

It's nice to have a legal means to offset the bag games being run by the less-than-savory players in the business.  I'm not accusing tOSU of that, of course, the Buckeyes really have no need to cheat.  But there are some dirty programs down south and out west that we all know about, and NIL is finally evening up the playing field.

Spot on.

Right now, the top 7 classes in the conference by the 247 composite are the 7 East teams

From what I've read this was part of Ewers plan get early playing time then return back to one of the Texas schools.But CJ Stroud happened

5* CB Travis Hunter (6-1, 180) of Georgia, the #1 overall player in the nation in the 247Composite, de-commits from FSU and signs with Deion Sanders and Jackson State. Crazy. Hunter idolizes Deion Sanders and wants to be just like him apparently.

FSU should've hired Deion. We're seeing something that has literally never happened in college football recruiting. The #1 player in the nation ditching a P5 helmet for a DIII HBC. Can only imagine the type of classes Deion would be pulling at a place like FSU.

Michigan lands 4* DB Keon Sabb, flips 3* WR Amorion Walker from Notre Dame, and flips 3* ATH Alex Orji from Virginia Tech. 

In a bit of a surprise, Michigan loses out on 4* DT Deone Walker to Kentucky. Guess he wants to be just like the other 4* DT's from Detroit Marquan McCall and Justin Rogers who went to Kentucky to do absolutely nothing lol.

Well maybe less chance of getting hurt not clashing with the big boys

UW has 13 commits. Average rating 87.25 MSU's is 87.27.

Iowa has 12 commits, with an 88.36 average. That is good for 4th, behind the usual suspects.

M- 89.20
PSU - 90.87

OSU - 94.04 (ridiculous)

he's a CB. those guys don't exactly have very physical jobs like say LB/OL/RB or even safety. 

Hunter is the #1 player in the country and a lot of people who follow Georgia HS football say he's easily the best DB prospect to come out of Georgia since Champ Bailey. That is apparently who he is comped to most. 

Think he just really wanted to be coached by his idol, Deion Sanders. Deion doing his alma mater dirty. But they probably should've hired him. When Norvell gets fired in a year or two, they would be stupid not to call Deion immediately to replace him.

recruiting rankings are fun to look at...but Wisconsin/Iowa will continue beat the crap out of every team in the East recruiting better than them on paper except for OSU/M/PSU/MSU. Indiana, Maryland, and Buttgers can be ranked higher than them on paper all they want. Those teams will still suck, and Wisconsin/Iowa will still destroy them.

Sure, could be.

So the top 2 teams in the West will continue to beat the bottom 3 from the East.

That's the bar?
