    Hayes To Colorado

    Yeah. I think Deion could be a really good coach. But I don’t think he’s trying to be a really good coach at *Colorado.* The way he’s recruiting. You don’t recruit like that if you’re actually trying to build something for the long term. I think he knows that other schools are seeing the...

    If you were in charge of a $10 million Pitt football NIL budget, how would you spend it?

    CBS put out a Top 100 players in college football for the upcoming 2024 season. It's a good starting point if you're trying to "MoneyBall" this thing. OL: 6. Will Campbell LSU .98 10. Banks Texas 5 Star 29. Booker Alabama .97 rating 61. Emery Jones LSU .95 rating 65. Tate Ratledge...

    If you were in charge of a $10 million Pitt football NIL budget, how would you spend it?

    Sure. But I’m saying I’d put the lion’s share of the NIL money to those positions, which should in theory limit the exodus. I’d also not spend the same amount of money every year. This best “Moneyball” strategy for schools with more limited funds is to bank funds for when you think it’s your...

    If you were in charge of a $10 million Pitt football NIL budget, how would you spend it?

    But even with tampering, they aren’t entering. If you don’t bring in stud high school DL recruits, you aren’t going to have a stud DL. You aren’t going to out tamper LSU.

    If you were in charge of a $10 million Pitt football NIL budget, how would you spend it?

    I’d put large amounts of my high school allotment to OL and DL. There just isn’t much talent available at those positions in the portal in a yearly basis, and the price is insane for the few that are in it. My transfer portal money would go to QB and the skill positions. There’s always a...

    How are we offering this?

    Yeah, but they are just bodies. WR offers can’t be an indication of a lack of numbers. As you said “ass load.” So either some teams are coming calling for WRs and the staff is preparing for guys to be bought away, or the staff thinks the room has too many JAGs and some guys need to be shown...

    How are we offering this?

    Whom else was Bell going to bring in in such a short window? Peak talked about how most of the WRs in the two deep are transfers. And none are transfers that started off at P5 schools. They all were originally closer to Alabama A&M than they were Alabama. And he asked a fairly simple...

    How are we offering this?

    Maybe the receiver performance in the spring was the bad news? Peak’s January/February podcasts weren’t the most optimistic about the WR core, both in regards to what was returning and the transfers brought in. Maybe some guys are being shown the door?

    "I don't believe we can win now."

    That’s one of the ways in which Saban revolutionized the game when he got to LSU. He optimized how you spend the money. But he was also a resource hound the likes of which the game had never seen. That was one of the biggest parts of the “CEO” model he instituted. You have to constantly push...

    "I don't believe we can win now."

    Bud Elliot makes this point a lot. Sometimes ADs have to fire a stalled out coach, even if they don’t necessarily think the next one can do much better, because you have to sell the boosters on the future. So it doesn’t matter if Dino Babers performed about at the level that a good coach can...

    Well, we lost our best player today

    Clemson doesn’t lose a ton of guys to the portal, and doesn’t get many either. If you’re leaving Clemson that quickly, it’s probably a red flag.

    Solomon DeShields Hits the Portal

    That’s not the point I’m making. I’m simply a cost vs value roster balancing that you see so much in baseball because the only limit is frequently the size of the payroll you can afford to spend, not the salary cap. So you see a lot more “Money Ball” in baseball.

    Solomon DeShields Hits the Portal

    There probably is going to be a lot of baseball, WAR type calculations with NIL. The NIL money is limited. It’s not just a question of whether this guy is the best DE, or that guy the best LB. You have to factor in production vs costs. That’s why you see baseball teams letting a 2.5 to 3 WAR...

    Narduzzi must have started his spring meetings with players

    He also didn’t have a bunch of JAGs ahead of him early in his career. There’s some excusable reasons why it took him time to move up the depth chart.

    Well, we lost our best player today

    Could be worse. Could be Louisville. Apparently they can’t cover all the NIL promises and there is a mass exodus taking place right now. Rumor is players aren’t even showing up for the weight room sessions in protest.

    "I don't believe we can win now."

    how would you describe the Clemson and KState players? Production over hype?

    Clemson doesn’t even use the portal.

    Speaking of QB rooms........Yikes!!!

    He just can’t throw the ball downfield. Last year his average depth of throw was horrible, and it stunted their offense. Sometimes guys can’t throw the ball down field because they are young and not comfortable with it. But it comes with age. Jaylen Daniels is a perfect example of that...

    Speaking of QB rooms........Yikes!!!

    And didn’t their top returning WR just enter the portal? Dude must have saw Allar this spring and was like, “no thanks.”

    Our QB Room is Awful

    No it’s not. Maybe the “run” wasn’t as long as some others. But that’s life for a 3* recruiting program. You aren’t going to hit all the time. And when you miss, it kills you because you can’t just go out and add instant impact studs to make up for the misses in the previous cycles. Look at...
