Wait?? How can this be? Our class and recruiting sucks!!
Welcome aboard young man. More to come!!
WR Ffrench. 5*Fasusi, Terry, and who else?
Money is not as great as you think it is. There's a reason why he recruited better classes when he was at OU. Same reason he's #18 right now, which is the same reason he finished 17th in 24 class- that they are not top tier in NIL. They are closer to tier 3.Riley has Hollywood in his back pocket. Almost all of the big name directors have ties to USC in one way or another.
Money is great- but appealing to a kid by getting them a cameo in the next Marvel movie is something ONLY USC can do.
I’d put Oregon in tier 1 with Nike deep pockets. Now winning it all seems to be the bigger challenge for them.Money is not as great as you think it is.

We got oregon, aggie, maybe miami, like tier 0 in a class above everyone, they just throw money away.
Tier 1 is like ohio state, texas, alabama, probably georgia.
Tier 2 we got teams like OU, missouri, tennessee, nebraska, probably colorado, lsu, maybe michigan, maybe ND and psu
Tier 3 is where usc would be. with programs like clemson, and florida
Sure usc has unique opportunities that only they can offer a special player or 2, someone like caleb williams would make out nicely. but it's not the same for everyone else. if it was, they'd have no trouble locking california down completely and being consistently in the top 5.
E.g. class of 24, the top 10 players in california, oregon had 3 of them. usc had 0.
Ou and texas even had 1 each, bama had 2.
top 25 players in california, even washington has 3, oregon has 7. usc only had 4.
He's struggling to recruit with the best and usc level of commitment to NIL is one of the reasons why
What is the actual dollar difference between Tier 1, 2 and 3?Money is not as great as you think it is. There's a reason why he recruited better classes when he was at OU.

$9.95What is the actual dollar difference between Tier 1, 2 and 3?
I dont know exactly but tier 0 is like, a deep endless well of stupidity. will probably always be the highest offer for any big time player.What is the actual dollar difference between Tier 1, 2 and 3?
Question-- and I'm being sincere here--I dont know exactly but tier 0 is like, a deep endless well of stupidity. will probably always be the highest offer for any big time player.
1 is like, nobody will beat you for a higher offer except for tier 0. they have the most to spread around, can offer pretty much the top tier amount for a small handful of someones they want when going 1x1 against another school. they'll be able to do this for more players than tiers 2 and 3.
2 is like 1 but to a lesser extent. they spread their NIL around well and everyone still gets to eat very well. they can afford to offer massive amounts to special players they like so they can recruit with the best.
3 is still really good but less to spread around. they can snipe a player or 2 away from the other tiers but they dont have the wad to blow on more than a couple super star types in a given cycle. so they'll be capable of taking a 5 star away from anyone here and there.
Wait for it......What is the actual dollar difference between Tier 1, 2 and 3?
Yeah, agreed--particularly when it's ou.Fasusi CBs to Oklahoma.
That's a bummer. Of course if we can land Nick Brooks then it's not a huge issue. Miss on both and Texas may have to start upping the NIL money.
Oregon is in a tier all their own with aggie and miamiI’d put Oregon in tier 1 with Nike deep pockets. Now winning it all seems to be the bigger challenge for them.
1, i wont say, and cash was not offered on the recruiting trip.Question-- and I'm being sincere here--
How many recruiting trips did you go on- where were they to-- how much cash were you offered?
Baker would be in front of Fasusi as well. He was a high 5 star from Kalifornia last year. Fasusi does not want to wait and learn.... These guys don't always pan out because they start early, make mistakes, and lose their edge. Be patient, wait and learn.Yeah, agreed--particularly when it's ou.
But we do have Trevor Goosby in reserve, that from all I hear, he's really coming on strong and is Bank's backup. He will most likely slide right as the starter--(even if Fasusi comes to Texas).
This can give us a chance to land a player like Turntine-an OT in the 2026 class who is Fasusi-like.
Texas has more money than all 3 combined but Texas doesn't play that game. Why pay for a dude that will sit for at least 2 years? Look, Texas has its $$ range and knows that it can pull Texans from any part of the country when it calls. We don't need to overpay at the brothel because secretly the hos be hopin for it.Oregon is in a tier all their own with aggie and miami
This is interesting stuff--thank you for sending it along. I love sh!t like this.OTF Percentages:
- Michael Fasusi (Aug 21): Texas 30%, OU 65%, A&M 5%
- Nick Brooks (Aug 23): Texas 65%, Georgia 30%, USC 5%
- Jonah Williams (Aug 24): Texas 65%, A&M 15%, LSU 15%, Oregon 5%
- Aidan Anding (Aug 24): Texas 20%, LSU 45%, Arkansas 35%
- Jaime Ffrench (Aug 30): Texas 60%, Miami 30%, Tennessee 5%, LSU 5%
- Michael Terry (TBD): Texas 70%, Nebraska 15%, Oregon 15%
- Madden Faraimo (TBD): Texas 35%, ND 55%, USC 10%
texas donors have more money than the billionaires that fund miami, aggie and oregon combined? I doubt that. And even if it was true, it wouldnt matter if they "dont play that game".Texas has more money than all 3 combined but Texas doesn't play that game.

What better way to learn than being a backup and playing a few hundred snaps as a freshman so you are more prepared to legitimately compete for starting time in year 2? Especially when the OL coach with the most players in the nfl at fasusi's position is coaching him?Baker would be in front of Fasusi as well. He was a high 5 star from Kalifornia last year. Fasusi does not want to wait and learn.... These guys don't always pan out because they start early, make mistakes, and lose their edge. Be patient, wait and learn.
So you add those dudes-in addition to Terry (hopefully), and that ain't a bad haul. Not to mention all the time until December to get some other guys.Williams ~ Brooks ~ French (incoming)
Exactly. A month ago some people had to be talked off the ledge.So you add those dudes-in addition to Terry (hopefully), and that ain't a bad haul. Not to mention all the time until December to get some other guys.
I know--tell me about it. There's still people today on the this cite alone, who are doing that very same thing--repeatedly--and they've been doing it for months.Exactly. A month ago some people had to be talked off the ledge.
