AUFAN1972 27 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) I have seen this week where On TO Victory had received over 10 million $$$ in the first month. For the dumb, which is me.... How is this money supposed to be used to procure top level talent. Would someone explain how that $$ is supposed to be used. I have seen comments from posters say that $$$ won't be the problem in getting Russaw and Smith from Montgomery.

Unofficially, we can compete in some of these bidding wars we have backed out of in recent recruitments. Feels like we're going the right direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since offering it as a recruiting inducement is against the rules I don't think we'll ever hear exactly how that part is done. We'll be forced to use our imaginations! Yella Fella will ride up on a prospect's lawn on his horse and the horse will poop a wad of C-notes. Or something 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a program were interested in making something like that happen they might consider taking that player on a golf cart away from other players to a location where they can just so happen to meet a booster who just so happens to be already making a presentation on how he plans to support existing players and deals he's looking to make... Of course we would never ever make it clear what that kid would possibly get here. Just making generalized statements about the value of a 5* DE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucanucktiger 1,794 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Wow, surprised at some of the comments here. This should be the hottest thread on this site since it's the key to top tier recruiting now. Yes blue chip recruits are now paid by private groups not directly associated with a college (frickin joke) to play for a college in exchange for their NIL on the college's shirts, ads etc. Harsin didnt buy into it but has come around after last winter's drama, so we're very very late to the game Bama legally used to land 17 yo Bryce Young.

It's also amazing that the folks in charge of getting the $$$ to the recruits apparently don't know either cuase whatever they're doing ain't working.

What I think is that anyone who does actually know won't say anything . The NCAA, though toothless these days, still lurks around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
