2024 DL Kamarion Franklin 2.0 (commits to Ole Miss)

[Hurricane Warning]

Ehhh

If Franklin not in that group he's pretty **** close to that group imo….

I mean if absolutely twist my arm I'd give Stewart and Stone the extra extra dollar.

Breland being the best true 1T in the class would put him with Stewart/Stone

It always amuses me how off the rails threads end up.

yeah I mean I don't think that's true. A&M is a prime example, they pulled back HEAVY after they spent all that $ and people portaled out a year later.

now NIL deals can be split up and structured in a way that incentivizes people to stay for sure, and I'm not saying NIL is going away by any means but just throwing a ton of money at a bunch of players hoping to build an elite class is not the way as there's no legitimate reason to suspect those players will stay with the program, especially when the money can be prioritized to retain current stars and/or get proven stars through the portal - both of which are way more certain things than a high school athlete

All of this is why WINNING is EVERYTHING. You have to get elite talent from HS, but ur point is also right in that overpaying for HS talent is super risky. The more u win, less suck tax u have to pay. (CC: @Cribby)

You can’t pay market rate for a DT from 1,000 miles away while going 5-7 and expect to get him. One of those variables has to change to have a chance.

Time to overpay.

Agreed.

For the whales, you’re going to have to overpay no matter what, so whether you pony up for Franklin or Stone or Breland, it’s time go all in.

Frugality is out the window at this point.

Pay what is necessary in order to walk away with at minimum one more elite DT to pair with Jones.

Now if we can close with two more…

If it's all about Bag what's stopping Auburn from just not upping their bag and just waiting for NSD to up the bag? And you can apply it to all recruits. This is why continuously matching bags in August just doesn't make the most sense. I mean I guess if your confident the kid isn't gunna play games and be fully locked in after committing, that's fine. But if a kid is going to the highest bidder, why would you want to be the highest bidder 4 months early?

Who’s to say the kid can decide to leave in 4 months? Ask UF and Rashada how that went with UMs contact. It ain’t that simple as “just be the highest bidder at NSD”…. Some states (list is growing quickly) allow kids to sign NIL and contracts in HS.

Pressure gets the commitments/signatures early. Binding structure keeps the commitment in DEC.

I don't know where this Ole **** stuff is coming from. The only way they land him is if they make him the centerpiece of their class, thus paying more than what either Auburn or Miami will pony up for a single player. Essentially, they'd be putting a yuge portion of their eggs in one basket.

And anyone who thinks Auburn isn't rich is delusional. They are rich and getting richer. Freeze has brought in money from old donors, and is creating new ones.
They will consistently have top-10 money.

Be nice, the Auburn fan is mad because he came here for intel and all he got was *****ing

But it says “Cane” in his…

Oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I could be completely off base here, but if it’s NIL I’m guessing/gathering there’s paperwork and/or contracts in place? That’s part of why there was such a low decommitment rate last year?

I know nothing about the ins and outs of this stuff but if I was involved that’s how I would want it.

If it’s bags then it’s still open for business. No idea why people are acting like bags don’t exist anymore.

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure when the contracts are executed. It could be when they actually sign, when they commit, I don't know.

As for the bags, yeah, people are forgetting about this. Let's say NIL package is worth up to $400k over 4 years. Then, under the table, they are providing pops with a job, some housing allowances, momma gets a job/car, cash exchanged, etc etc. You know the deal.

Bug a-salt is what you seek!

you must be from texas

 

[sharkindaawater]

Time to overpay.

I was just going to say that. **** it, why not just overpay for him, stone, breyland. We need DT's and we are at the point we need to overpay for one of those three

 

[MumbleRap]

Silver lining here? If Franklin picks AU or Miss then we’re getting Stone (according to our staff).. so we celebrating tomorrow regardless!

Drink up, it’s Friday.

Who's the staff?

 

[Stylie]

i’m at ******* Chik Fil A right now. Anyone need anything? And why is that word edited? Is there another word i should be using?

 

[MumbleRap]

Who's the staff?

The football coaches at University of Miami. That’s what DMoney said last night. Staff expects to land one or both of Franklin/Stone.

We all nut

Welcome!

The rules here for newbies - cherries - are few and far between - but the ones we have are carved in stone.

Newbie Rule # 1,739 - "If we want any crap out of you, we'll squeeze your head."

Threads here on CIS getting off track? "Even if you see it - it doesn't happen." That's Newbie Rule # 35.
