You’re solid and respect your opinion but I think NIL is geared towards “stars” meaning offensive standouts and defensive playmakers (secondary and edge rushers). I don’t see many o-linemen or interior d-line guys getting serious NIL contracts and that in itself may be our saving grace since we’re trending as a school that puts those guys in the league.
Illinois is a boarder state and Buffano is a Youngstown Midwesterner so there could be a chance there.
Totally agree with everything you identified as problems in recruiting right now.
Cobb will likely go into sports management or agency, from why he said this past week.
If you are talking about Woodward, I would I typically agree, but we both know Stoops is a loyal guy and will have a lot of trust in Coen if this fall goes well. Just playing the odds here, I think he would be the favorite for the job. He's seemingly already done more recruiting wise than Bouknight.
Hanktons not been an overly impressive WR coach comparative to the talent he brings in.
Their source doesn't say UK is trending or leading. Just that UK is coming hard ftwr him
Their source is on3 and they are just saying UK is coming hard for him. The way I read was Pitt is in the lead. It was just for clicks
Well on3 bought KSR, so Roush and those guys will be writing for them. I mean, they are fine,, but you have to remember, they approach things with more of a fan boy side.
I pretty much agree. I think Luckett writes some ok breakdowns and knows the landscape of college football pretty well. Roush just churns out miserable click-bait fan boy stuff. He doesn’t seem nearly as knowledgeable.
Idk if OSU passed on him or he cooled on them, but the word has been for a while that it was UK and ND
NR is the most annoying “sports media” guy covering UK, IMO. He really isn’t very knowledgeable & only got the gig bc he’s related to the Brohms, IMO. It sure wasn’t bc of his writing ability or personality. Drives me nuts bc I like to listen to the podcasts that Freddie is on but it mostly ends up being an hour of NR refusing to shut up & talking over everyone else.
Pitt has had 18 players drafted since 2015, whereas UK has had only 16 and we have had a few years where no one was drafted. They have been more consistent in producing NFL talent, but our trajectory looks to be headed in the right direction.
It's tough to find multi-millionaires who want to grind 18-20 hour days for 9 months a year.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.
There's a big difference between former NFL players who are already millionaires because of their playing days -vs- coaches/coordinators who are making their money via coaching. Coaches are used to grinding it out doing what coaches do. (The coaching grind is what got them where they are.) Former players, who decide to get into coaching, are beginning something they've never done before. They already know the intricacies of the game, but sleeping in the ofc watching film and spending months on the road recruiting is a different kind of grind.
There is but that wasnt what you said.
One example. The college football coaching ranks are not “Full” of multimillionaires that made their money in the NFL.
Yeah Rock and others had said the whole time he was prob a guard. He will prob play RT at Pitt. He prob wouldn't have seen much PT here for 2-3 years. I think that played the bigger role
Or UK has been shooting blanks in recruiting for 3 months after getting off to a hot start...
If they can get Wagner and Key is be pretty happy with the class. I think that’s in the realm of possibility.
