At the end of the day

of course, internal evaluation will dictate if we're getting the guys we want well before they actually (hopefully) hit the field. Solid 4 stars at this point can turn into 5 stars, not that stars are all that (Renfrow for the Natty). And the guys we want for character issues are ones who might not flip for big NIL.

I'm also concerned that we get the guys we want go for NIL $$$ flash. In this period before there's solid data, that will be dicey. I've yet to see, though not searched closely, NIL deals that are qualified by performance. Why wouldn't they be? Just haven't seen it. Does a donor group or bidness want to guarantee a zillion dollars for a guy that don't start?

wheels are turning at the NCAA and elsewhere, everybody knows this is stupid without mods. Thanks, Deon.

This has always been the formula.

Get good athletes with character and work ethic, and coach them up. If the refitted staff does as good a job on the practice field throughout the week as in the past, I'm not too worried. I think the schools that have gone all in on pay-for-play players are going to experience some disappointments in the character/work ethic attributes of some of their highly-rated five-star guys. Our down year last year really boiled down to two things...too many injuries that cause a few position groups an inability to gel, and quarterback play (which a tiny part can be blamed on injury there). Keep the current OL healthy and gameplan around having a weaker QB than in past years and we won't have any trouble having a very good season. Maybe not strong enough for a top 4 spot, but a solid top 10 spot without a doubt. Elevated quarterback play will almost always be what separates the championship contenders in modern college football...that's the primary unknown going into this coming season.

So... what do you think guys... we seem to be landing some

if we can get the guys we want, we'll be fine.

Yeah, I get it... but the key cogs of our great teams were

We never recruited like the big dogs

This has always been the formula.

QB play is one of the most baffling things I've ever seen...

oh they'll be all in

Time to invest in penicillin and misoprostol

I tend to agree.
