I think for the really sought after recruits it probably does hurt them. But like the 3 star kids? Those are dime a dozen for big time football programs. Those are the kids going to smaller schools, blowing up then everyone wants them and then the big schools win the NIL bidding war.

I generally agree with that but I think there needs to be more rules on how it operates, it's like the old west out there. I think it benefits the top and bottom of college football a lot more than the middle.

Well I was mainly talking about teams from none power conferences or the lower end of Div 1 losing kids to major conference schools. This actually hurts teams like the Gophers that don't have the NIL money that Ohio St. and the like have but they're still a major conference school. The...

Yes, I'm a big wrestling guy. I used to be the ratings editor for the Guillotine. They're the magazine that does the high school wrestling rankings for MN. I used to be in charge of doing the class AAA ratings and wrote other articles for them too. I did recruiting analysis too for Intermat...

Yes, he may go to the NFL after his Junior year.

Everyone is losing a lot, most teams are just losing a bunch of kids that figured out they weren't going to get on the field anyway. Maybe a few bigger recruits are lost here and there but most are probably players that weren't going to see the field anyway.

Yup, gotta think that if he plays three more seasons and continues to develop 1st Team AA is likely.

I think what you will see is the really sought after recruits getting a lot of attention and the 3 star kids getting less and less for this reason. The blue chippers are still going to get heavily recruited but more of these lesser recruited kids will probably get less recruiting from big...

I didn't have the same feeling for Maxx, but I thought he would be a solid NFL player.

I have been watching football long enough that you can just recognize players that are different, more gifted. It's obvious when you see that kid out there that he's destined to be a great player and if he keeps doing what he's doing he could also be great in the NFL. Some of these kids you...

Well deserved. Very impressive for a True Freshman to earn that honor.

Man, I'm hyped. I love this 12 team format. Seems like the sweet spot for getting the right number of teams while keeping the likelihood of competitive games high. Offers the opportunity to see the big name programs and some underdogs. Gonna be great.

Kid has all of the physical tools to be great in the NFL too. If he continues to develop like he did in college could be a true beast in the NFL too.

Seems like Fleck produces more NFL players than I remember other coaches producing.

I think Pyron is insurance for Lindsey not being ready. I think Lindsey should be able to beat out Pyron but if not they have a plan B. I think it's a competition but I think the coaches want Lindsey to be clearly the better QB. Lindsey should have a leg up as he's been working with the OC and...

I would agree with that. Senior bowl is the big one by a good margin. Then Shirine by a big margin , then Hula.

I would think he will be at some sort of showcase game. He might get drafted so I would think at least one has invited him. Probably going to be one of these WR nobody heard of the is either a late rounder or undrafted guy that turns out to be good in the NFL. It's crazy nobody even has him in...

Yeah, putting it out there that we have quitters on our team is a really bad look for the team. You can tolerate a lot of behavior on a team but being a quitter is not one of them.

It is disappointing to see an ex-Gopher do this. I like to think our alumni tend to be on the good side of the team mate/character end of the spectrum. I get the frustration and he's probably not long for the NFL given his age but IMO, you siged a contract to play football so you gotta play if...

Yeah, not likley much changes from the philosophy point of view and schemes will probably be similar. Probably assistants under the DC and OL coach are running things and will likely just do mostly what the departed coaches did. Now the calling of blocking schemes and Defense from play to play...
