2024 Recruiting Thread

should've went to Michigan to follow in Will Johnson's footsteps. Ah well. He'll just have to enjoy getting beat by Michigan every year now

I'll take that bet next November

One of those does not belong with the others. 

Ohio State.  They DO NOT do well with new recruits who have NIL as their top priority.  They believe in prioritizing current players who have proven themselves at the college level. Thats why they get picked apart by flips away versus flips toward.

I actually like that strategy. 

Not really commenting on the strategy, more on the developed capability.

My source is the guy in charge of Texas' 2nd biggest NIL collective, so he knows exactly what Texas' capabilities are, and he gains info about other schools' offers and initiatives, mostly from the recruits themselves.  The guys you get, are willing to talk about what other offers they had, and where they were coming from.

This is Fickell's way as well.

BREAKING: Nebraska flips 3-star CB Larry Tarver Jr. out of Miami.

Tarver was previously committed to Maryland.

[MrNubbz]

What the heck is going on in CBus today?

Same thing that happens every year. Sign a great class, bellyache about why it isn't ten times better

Of the 15 players to be ranked in the top 5 of ESPN's recruiting rankings over the past 3 years, 7 have either transferred, or are currently in the portal.

Today is largely irrelevant

Signing day moving to during the season, plus the transfer portal, definitely takes the juice out of it.

They apparently only have one recruit on the d-line, mostly because of rumors that Larry Johnson (the d-line coach) is retiring. Fire everybody.

Seems like an overreaction to me. 

BUT

They did lose that 4* WR to Oregon today, and that 4* RB to Miami yesterday, and a 5* DL to Miami a week or so ago.

Kinda proves out that Day isn't using bags to entice recruits. As he shouldn't. At least not much. 

It's against NCAA rules (yuk yuk).

The bags, according to said toothless NCAA, should be for current players and high-end transfers (if we really need bags...).

FWIH, OSU's NIL is well funded but not well organized.

You hoenstly need a GM to manage the funds at this point, and most P5 schools now have one

[847badgerfan]

I think Joe Thomas and Brooks Bollinger help manage it at Wisconsin.
