ShreveFrog falling for fake news like it's going out of style.

Oh well. Why do people do this?

They like to have fun.

When I see a 5 Star flip to us, my first thought is: how long can we keep him?

This idea that you have to recruit your own roster every year has to be infuriating for coaches.

Feels like NIL deals should have buyouts in them. You ball out for TCU for a year and now Texas or Bama is coming with a bag? They should be on the hook for buying out what you've already paid the player.

Or how about an ingenious idea like making a player sit out a season if he decides to transfer to another school? Seems like that would immediately put a stop to all this. Has anyone thought of that? Has that ever been tried before?

When life is penalty free it will know no bounds. A life full of penalties will know no peace.

Decided to see where we stand nationally heading into the summer. Yes, I realize rankings mean nothing right now, and it appears UT hasn't gotten out their checkbook yet, but it's nice to see us trending in the right direction.

We will never get or keep recruits now if texas or ou wants them. We don't pay hardly at all

 

[CryptoMiner]

Didn't think they could hold onto this kid but stinks anyway

 

[Palliative Care]

Sometimes you offer to pay and they still go elsewhere.

You spelled “is awesome” wrong.

What possible chance do we have here?

What possible chance do we have here?

Mathematics: 25%.

College football reality: 0%.

 

[Bigpurple872]

What possible chance do we have here?

None. Our nil is a joke

 

[82 Frog Fever]

None. Our nil is a joke

I didn’t realize that. Exactly, how is TCU’s NIL a joke?

 

[CryptoMiner]

What possible chance do we have here?

Ahead of UT but behind LSU.

 

[Traveling Frog]

None. Our nil is a joke

If you look at all the football players transferring from TCU since NIL, we have done great at retaining good players. Outside of that good DT who started a bidding war with all the hedge funds we have held onto our players.

 

[Palliative Care]

I am wondering if a new source of funds has already arrived as it seems that both the retention of players and recruitment promised to recruits are likely showing that the pockets are not empty. As far as Mr. Williams goes, sure I would have loved to kept him but there are times when you have say, that the investment was make and yet for him it was never going to be enough. Getting more from us was a head fake. He wasn’t going to stay.
