The funniest thing is the number for these NIL deals is populated AFTER the love for the school. Which is why recruiting still matters, money is part of the recruitment like playing time. “Hey coach Cristobal, I really want to come to UM, FSU is offering 75K, if you can get me that 70-80K range then Im a cane”

Funny misconception that 1) players just go to the school offering biggest bag & 2) a school would be dumb enough to shell out six figures for a kid who doesn’t really want to be there.

If it was all about money then Bain would be at Auburn right now and Francis would be in Knoxville.
Yep. I can tell for a fact with my nephew’s recruitment for basketball that UM, Arizona and Villanova were all within 25k of each other, so basically a negligible difference. Now if schools were 100k apart I’m sure it would have made a difference to him, as it should. But at 25k no difference. He chose UM because of how Coach L sold his vision, Coach L’s knowledge and rep as a great coach, and how well UM recruited him.

I don't know why people here think then when a reruit watches a prospective team lose that it means they will no longer be interested in that team. It's certainly not a postive but the recruit my want to bring the team back to prominence and have a great relationship with the coach.
