I’d imagine there will be a response here with a commit to mitigate this soon enough.

Yeah. Barney is a solid prospect that given proper time to develop could have been really nice, but optics wise it looks worse than it really is. Hopefully we land Lightfoot (or someone else of quality) and people will shut up for a second.

Other schools may have healthier NIL packages. Last year we jumped out towards the front in NIL. It’s been a year. I suspect that other schools watched, learned and prepared themselves better this time and are paying more to get recruiting wins, including payments to commit and “shut down”. Just because we’re offering a lot of $ doesn’t mean other people haven’t caught up.

I don’t disagree. We’ll know by the end of July though. I have no idea if he’s landing these DLs others have said he’s landing. But we can’t not land some of the high tier, highly ranked players we’ve prioritized and just say trust the process and evals as a substitute when that would be a clear whiff and indicative of a bigger problem. No way do I think he can’t recruit but I will 100% think that there’s an NIL issue compounding last season’s results and fallout.

The gator is absolutely paying after an NIL debacle and a ****** year too. No way Billy’s a better recruiter apples to apples than Mario even with the SEC label. They’re top 2-3 now.
Like I said and been saying - a few more weeks man. Things will clear up. In the meantime, we were late on Barney compared to Nebraska but the effort is apparently there by our guys so hopefully some good news tonight.

If we could hang with anyone we would. I’ve always said we’re a tier two group , which is a lot better than before but there’s still levels. Nil is great but under the table money will always be hard to beat.

Under the table money sounds like an IRS agent wanting to make a name for themselves dream....

Probably a transfer portal addition. My guess is Brucie from Mean Machine.

I preface this with I went off of just going with how things sound from multiple websites and posts. think it’s safe to be ultra conservative and still feel good about top 10 class. I think the people still worrying so much, they need to relax and be patient. I used the class calculator below to try be ultra conservative based on the amount of guys in play and where things look promising.

I think of the entire dline that’s pending, it’s pretty conservative to guess Scott, Franklin, and artavious Jones. That was the safe play in projecting. The rest is just guys that are trending really well from my understanding and reading across multiple sites.

The screen shots are below but this is only 22 commits. So room for more or likely higher ranked guys. It’s a 276. 2 5 stars, 10 4 stars, and 10 3 stars. So that’s a higher than 50% blue chip. That’s not accounting for likely bumps it looks some guys will likely get. And I’m sure the remaining of the class will get filled out 4/5 star that the staff will push hard for. That would look like like this:

2023: 11

2022: 7

2021: 9

Again, this is still with space to go. I think it’s safe to feel very good we can finish with a top 10 class and even close to 5. The staff has a plan and the number one thing is to never discredit Mario and his recruiting efforts. As the Georgia 247 said “you don’t want to go head to head with Miami” WE WILL BE FINE!

On a second pass this is looking rather good right about now. Scott gets replaced by Lightfoot.
