2024 National Signing Day Thread

I just hope UK makes a move on Stoops after today . I pray some B!g T!n Turd sneaks in and wants a relic like Stoops . Please Please Please , I really dislike the guy , exact same feeling I had towards Cal as he attacked BBN . Stoops has that same arrogant edge to him .. I know better than you so just shut up .. pisses me off
 
Count me a pleasantly surprised they held this class together as much as they did. Some nice pickups on there. Love the flip of Cam Miller. He and Quisenberry can give us some slot playmaking ability . . . IF THEY WILL USE THEM. Hamdan needs to be reintroduced to the short underneath part of the field.
 
Crazy money being thrown around the last couple of days. Anyone able to hold a class together is way ahead of the game. UF is offering big money for anyone who will answer their phone, Fsu offering a RB 1m a year, Mich still spending huge money.
IMO, that's the death knell of college football. Just go out and buy a team every year. Without any changes to the current system, we may be looking at MLB as the Yankees/Dodgers/large market teams spend large sums of money and almost always are in the hunt (they don't win it every year, of course). So, we'll have 15 programs that spend, spend, spend and mostly end up in the CFP every year while most other programs are minor league feeder teams. Whoopee! Can hardly wait for that.

The question will be if "they" ultimately a financial return on such an investment. I don't know who "they" are anymore. Donors... fans... businesses... who the hell knows. I can't see how those entities are seeing a financial return. Maybe they're just writing it all off as entertainment expenses... throwing huge dollars at their favorite program year after year just for the sake of being able to watch them make the playoffs and maybe win titles.

That is the question, isn't it? Who has enough extra cash to burn it on some kid who plays for his alma mater? There can't be any cost/benefit in that transaction. Bragging rights? Enhance ones' self importance? For the life of me, I can't imagine cutting a big check to one player just so he'll don the Blue and White. It's outside my ability to comprehend that mindset. But, there are many who have done it. Now, at what point do they look in the mirror and see a dumba$$?
