Ahhh, Northern. Never stop Northerning...
I'm confused. Five minutes ago, they were acting like DJ Lagway was the second coming of Jesus Christ, the best Gaytor recruiter, and a guy who was going to return their program to glory. Now they are freaking out about a 2025 kid who they were blackmailing into reclassifying TWO years ahead so that they have a guy who can possibly out-perform Mertz?
Weird. Best case scenario for 2023 Simmons is that he balls out and wins the job before Lagway ever arrives on campus.
And look at Northern DESTROYING the concept of "recruiting the family" because of "fake NIL" (whatever the **** that is, because I only know of one kind of "fake NIL" and it involves Hathnocock and Rashada). What is Northern mad about? Isn't this the same fan base that is busy jizzing their shorts because the Gaytors sent over another Publix cake and some Welch's sparkling grape cider to a set of parents celebrating their anniversary during the official visit?
I guess Northern prefers throwing a few million at a 17 year old with no parental supervision whatsoever. THAT never turns out badly, right? Oh, the HORROR of having to "recruit the family".
I did love when Northern express his OUTRAGE that a kid would want to play QB for Lane Kiffin for the next 3+ years INSTEAD OF SLINGBLADE BILLY. Well...why not? How can they assume Slingblade is some QB whispererer. Mullet, maybe, but Slingblade Billy?
I'm gonna laugh if Simmons flips AND they lose Lagway...
