We did not pay Justice Terry a million. No current Texas player or recruit is making 7 figures a year unless there name is Quinn or Arch. Proven talent on defense like Simmons, Hills, Barron, Muhammad aren't even making a million a year. We aren't desperate we're not paying a high school recruit a million dollars per. If we did that we'd have to give Hills, Simmons and Muhammad considerable raises for next year.
Hey I’m just telling you what the Georgia guys said. They said we offered 500k more than they did and they apparently offered a pretty penny. And the on Texas football guys said Sark is starting to open up the bag a little more now to get elite guys.

Not surprised. The losing side always likes to inflate the number. This is done on purpose for a few reasons. One to make it look like the only reason they lost the recruitment is because they got outbid by a ridiculous number, and also to try and spread some malcontent in the winnings side locker room. The bag been open, it's just now a bigger and more sustainable bag than previous years.

I do think we opened the bag for him tho because we never really paid for DTs. Mf was talking bout taxes when Bobby interviewed him:mjlol:

South Side Chicago to Nola
To all the michigan and SC brehs, please fall back.. I know ya got brinks trucks but I cant take another year of defense like this past season.. :mjcry:




Nope we need him bad


What could go wrong brehs, down the slippery slope we gooooo



The language and leverage at a bigger school to allow less control even though money is being invested is higher, but like i said, it’s an arms race and this will free up some schools to catch up




Of course on a video game Franklin finally gets his mind right


At some point they should actually cap these things to try to even things out for parity. It would probably take someone going on some massive 4 straight titles with undefeated seasons to make it happen tho.

Doubt that happens we about as close to parity as we will ever be

FSU is looking at losing 20+ guys between the portal/graduation. They only recruited 20 guys and their class rank was 20th. They are going to have to go hard in the portal again and hope it works out better than last year. If not they are going to be in quite the hole when it comes to talent. If A&M and OU aren't careful they could be on their way to a similar fate.

There's different types of numbers starting to roll out from what I'm seeing. It used to just be collective figures, but I think some analysts are also trying to bake in revenue sharing. Completely believable that non-QBs are getting 1m+ in that situation

That’s crazy he actually might make these mfs legit. Isn’t his son a good defensive coordinator?
I think at best it'll be Visor at S.Car or like Mack Brown was at UNC.

Kids these days know Beli as that guy who Brady carried.

Luckily for UNC they're in a conference that's winnable with 10 games, FSU is down bad, Clemson is shaky, and Miami doesn't play defense.
