Always love me some Brooks Bollinger

You know he's my favorite. Been saying it for years. They just don't make 'em like that too often.

Well the lineman they thought was flipping didn't so it was much ado about nothing. Normal day in Columbus.

Badgers manage to hold on to this kid, despite a strong late push from the hometown Canes.

My favorite Badger too.  I'm sure we've discussed this before

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.

He needs to,things are just too different from what he came up with and the DL hasn't been very stout since URBZ recruits left

Burn it down

If they lose to Mizzou that's exactly what'll happen to the couches

I thought they were pretty good this year. I thought he might leave - he is 71, and I'm not sure he and Knowles are on the same page really.

Badgers kicked some ass today with signing day commits.

Ya surprised they landed Houston on the D-Line but they lost that Williams kid to Auburn,read good things about him. But supposedly Houston said he came because of LJ so there's that

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. 

yea... it's better to invest in what you have and develop.

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

mabye.... I think the one thing the NIL is doing is spreading talent.  And looking at the 5 start kids, they spread out more than they did in the past.  ALSO..  i recall a long time ago losing kids because they were worried about depth and playing time.  I think playing time is now a bigger factor than it was 5-8 years ago. jmo

Missouri's NIL seemed to be much more organized and in a better position than many people thought a month ago...
