I am choosing for now to interpret Parks choosing to be a c0ck as the starting G spot is already occupied by Mazzccua.
Plausible deniability
Indeed. I am here for the entirety.We gotz dollar bills yo
Then I see disappointment in your future.I am choosing for now to interpret Parks choosing to be a c0ck as the starting G spot is already occupied by Mazzccua.
Agree. He is looking for the highest bidder, and I think Fran and company passed.Then I see disappointment in your future.
You can’t blow your pay scale out of whack. Smart move by Fran if he was asking more than others currently are getting. Ie qb and other key cogsAgree. He is looking for the highest bidder, and I think Fran and company passed.
The whole premise of “Plausible deniability” is saying prove it which it is hard and if so, someone else takes the fall. Prove that it isn’t happening.Show me even rumors this is occurring. May happen in the future. Haven’t heard of it happening at this point. Everyone knew for decades of players being paid illegally. You could find rumors of that everywhere. Just because you think it’s happening doesn’t mean it is. That’s not really plausible deniability. But again, show me some evidence (even some very loose evidence beyond “I think it is”) it’s happening at this point in time and I’m happy to read about it.
It’s a bummer but we will be good. More guys to visit this month and then a new run of portal players after spring ball too.Well that stinks. Parks and Mazzccua were probably the 2 higher profile guys we had on the visit and the help we need for our new QB. I'm thinking the way they took that group pic with Tank/Hastings/Nwokocha that we landed Hastings and Nwokocha. With the addition of Weatherspoon we still need some Oline beef... Jalen Travis will be next man up.
Yep! Not too worried with this staff...they know what they're doing.It’s a bummer but we will be good. More guys to visit this month and then a new run of portal players after spring ball too.
Hope he likes losing, they are the bottom of the SEC.Yeah this kid is going to Arkansas, folks
You weren’t allowed to pay players anything until NIL but …It just can’t be. I don’t make the rules. The NIL rules state it can’t be performance based, can’t be anything that looks or smells like performance based. Can’t even be based on number of games played, opting out of a bowl game, or making it to a bowl game.
Oh gotcha.I wasn’t talking about previous performance at all. Of course NIL’s are based on previous performance. Nobody is giving CDWR a million dollars because he was a former 5 star after seeing how he played at SU. This is purely about the idea mentioned that NIL deals can be based on future performance. They can be based on what someone is hoping a person will do but can’t be performance based.
I was talking to an insider down here in Florida who is Gator sponsor and he said Mazzccua was pushing that he wants to be the highest paid OG in portal. If that is the case, I don't think we will be in on that.
We can't do this every time we don't get a kid.If he chooses Arkansas over us for money so be it. Arkansas will be irrelevant next year and we should win 9-10 games. He’s going to be in the league, seems like he isn’t thinking long term.
Methinks so tooWell that stinks. Parks and Mazzccua were probably the 2 higher profile guys we had on the visit and the help we need for our new QB.

Arkansas has virtually no shot at being relevant in the SEC next year. We have an easy schedule next year. I have not said this for any other kid that has chosen not to come here. Arkansas has had back to back fringe top 25 classes the last two years. Certainly better than ours have been, but they aren’t landing top 10-15 classes every year.We can't do this every time we don't get a kid.
I'm not sure how you can say "Arkansas will be irrelevant and we should win 9-10 games".
At the end of the day they still play in the SEC and will still be a pull for any kid. And we haven't shown a single thing yet that says "9-3 or 10-2" besides recruiting the type of class Arkansas brings in yearly.
Him. He's not coming to SU. Arkansas bound.Did you guys hear something I didn't while I was watching the Giants game????? As of 2pm CST I heard we had a good chance of landing this kid. What did I miss?
Not calling you out specifically. We've just seen a ton of posts around the prospects we haven't landed this cycle (Since Fran) that are a bit over the top with the sour grapes.Arkansas has virtually no shot at being relevant in the SEC next year.

Just to add, I have no problems if someone chooses not to come here. I trust this staff, they’ve earned that in a month. I’m not worried about what the roster will look like next year. It’s been upgraded significantly in a month. I’d rather have someone who wants to be here and buys into Fran’s vision.
I hear ya. I am psyched that we are even being considered by a lot of these guys. The turn around has been insane by the staff. If we can follow it up with a big season look out.Not calling you out specifically.

Big time recruiting means you're going to miss out on a lot of good players. Kids have their own reasons for picking schools. It's not just "money" all the time.
Too many people take it personally.
