it's not too late to uninvite USC and UCLA

I’d love that.

Be like the Miami - FLA QB situation "come here - get away,come here-get away"

The article means very little to me. It's the thought of pols getting involved in football that I don't like.

There are bigger fish to fry in Cali at the moment.

Those young, strong athletes would be great at building a high-speed rail!

Fixed.

UGA's top WR hit the portal to Texas.  He has connections in Texas, he was injured most of the year.  Supposedly not really an NIL move.

UGA's center and other WR (McConkey) returning, both significant.  McConkey was a 3 star not much recruited who turned into an excellent possession kinf of WR and is very shifty and fairly fast.

The national media and obnoxious editorial are making this story more about Bill O'Brien rejoining the Patriots and less about O'Brien leaving Bama. Tide fans, from what can be seen across the socials are thrilled. IMO, I think Golding is a bigger problem at DC than O'Brien was as OC, but either way Bama's offense felt one dimensional at times last year. Which is almost impossible when Young is your QB.

When he was committed to Miami, the numbers were $8-9 million, then he flips to Florida and nobody knows why.  Whoever communicated the $13 million number to him and his family was not in communication with the actual money people of the collective.
I'm glad UF didn't go and say "you signed, tough shit" or something like that. 

Official odds are favoring Arizona State as Jaden Rashada's signing destination (his father played for the Sun Devils). Odds also include TCU, California, and Colorado. NONE of those schools sound like pay day, and I wouldn't be surprised if, following a productive freshman year, Rashada looks elsewhere for the bigger money of being a known quantity at that point.

After Rashada's deal with Florida fell through, why didn't he retreat to Miami for the $8M?

Gettin' paid before you do a god damned thing.

My 2022 Athlon resurfaced and I looked up TCU, projected to be 6-6 and 55th in the nation.

I think I bought it because we were about to fly somewhere and I wanted a thing to read.

Miami signed a QB. Seems like they moved on.

Jaden Rashada commits to Arizona State this morning. Quite a "get" to open the Kenny Dillingham tenure. Feels a lot like Herm starting his time at ASU with the big Jayden Daniels signing.

My reaction is pretty much what this guy has to say:

So ASU took our old excessives (Emory Jones) last year and takes our never wases now.  Fun.

Fun fact:
Danny Wuerffel finished his career (93-96) with the best career pass rating ever.  Nationally.  Ever.
.
He's now 9th....in the SEC.
.
Boy, QB play/offensive play-calling and systems really have improved the last 20 years.  And yes, having an elite defense nowadays is nearly impossible and basically mind-blowing in the rare occasions they now occur.
