2022 Harold Perkins — 2022 LB; Picks LSU

I have zero inside info on this, but realistically this type of talent is when the $EC schools and others offer ridiculous money, would be shocked if he didnt land at one of the top 5 payers (Bama/TAMU/UGA, etc.). I presume UT is now a big payer with SS there.

Bags? No way. According to this site, just playing in the SEC is its own reward and there is no need for those schools to buy players.

What’s the deal with this kid, is it going to be TAMU?

He’s announcing his commitment at the Under Armor All-American game.

TAMU is the favorite & has had the lead for most of his recruitment, but LSU is making a late push & Bama is always lurking for a last second flip. He won’t sign until Feb NSD, but will make his announcement in January.

TAMU is the expected to get the commit & most likely will, but he’s a high caliber 5-star that the power schools in the SEC will continue to recruit heavy up until he signs on the dotted line.
 
Does Perkins have an official visits left? If so, if Mario retains Ish, do we have any chance at all of getting him to visit?

Lol Texas 8&4 just reeling in a historic class, and nCAA wants to investigate Miami's NiL deals. You can't make this stuff up!

Then Jimbob gets on the mic and basically tells the NCAA they used to cheat under the table, but now they are paying players in plain site.

There is absolutely no way a out of state kid, especially from urban areas decides I want to go to weird College Station to live and play football for a program with 1 ten win season last 23 years.

If there was one recruit that we could steal from aTm - it would be him.
We're well on our way now to competing for these types of recruits though.
 
TAMU is the most profitable program in college football, they make nearly $150million dollars a year off ticket sales, merchandising & licensing alone & that’s all before they receive a penny of booster money or fan donations & that’s not even calculating in their SEC TV money.

They also spend $1.8million a year on recruiting budget.

The top 10 ranked classes annually are almost always directly correlated to the top 10 spenders, the teams who are usually in the top 10 in class rankings & are always also in the top 10 in recruiting budget.

The only teams that haven’t yielded recruiting results to match their spending over the last 3-4 years has been Arkansas & Nebraska, they’ve both spent a lot of money in recruiting & haven’t really landed major classes, but Ark has at least had back to back top 25 classes with some good prospects so they’re still building.

Tennessee is kinda in that category too, they’ve spent nearly over $2.4million a year in recruiting & have yielded some solid classes, they had the 13th ranked class in 2019, 11th ranked class in 2020, 22nd in 2021 & the 14th ranked class for 2022, but the Jeremy Pruitt debacle is what slowed them down.

But otherwise, recruiting rankings for most programs is usually dictated by spending, record doesn’t mean as much as people think. It mattered a lot for Miami because we used to not spend a dime on recruiting, so we had to win on the field in order to have top 10 classes, but now being under new management, spending will be increased & because we have a good recruiter in Mario, the class rankings should be commensurate to how much we spend.

Simply put, if we spend like a top 10 team, we’ll have top 10 classes.

Please educate me on how the spend breaks down if you know. Want to put some thought towards outlining a plan.
