I need more information. Tell me what you mean exactly by "marathon". Are we talking hours, 1 day, several days, 1 week, several weeks, a month or more or what?

I have no idea how often you change your underwear. And if you don't either, then you're stuck with your question.

Sanders strikes again

Sanders strikes again

This would not surprise if NFL players that are pro bowlers or Super rings go into coaching as Sanders did. These kids are influenced so easy.

To be only the 189th ranked player in the nation (247 Composite), this kid has a pretty damn impressive offer list. Pretty much all the top teams in the country.

I remember him being in the top 100 before this season, but he got injured.  Did not think he would drop so much because of that.  In fact, I remember both LTG (.9700+ 247 Comp) and Jaydon Blue (.9800+ 247 Comp) were very highly ranked prior to this season.

Texas A&M Boosters Spent Unfathomable Amount Of Money To Land No. 1 Recruiting Class, Per Report


Texas A&M football currently holds the nation’s top recruiting class for 2022. With six five-star prospects, 19 four-stars and three three-stars, the Aggies are loaded.

Among the commitments, head coach Jimbo Fisher and his staff landed the nation’s top-rated linebacker, top-rated defensive lineman and the second-ranked wide receiver. They also kept the nation’s second-ranked quarterback in-state, locking up the program’s biggest need for the foreseeable future.

And, although the class is all-but finished, there is still time to land another prospect or two before or on National Signing Day. With a 247Sports composite score of 328.82, it is the nation’s No. 1 class by more than 11 points over Alabama.

Needless to say, the Aggies have hit the recruiting trail extremely hard. Per a recent rumor, their boosters also spent a small fortune.


Apparently, Texas A&M’s 2022 recruiting class is set to cost the school’s boosters upwards of $30 million in deals for NIL when the prospects officially enroll.


According to a message board user who goes by SlicedBread, Aggie boosters spent between $25 and $30 million to sure-up the nation’s top class. He reported that the effort was targeted and coordinated.



Whether exact or not, the number is likely in the ballpark. A small fortune.


IT IS PERFECTLY LEGAL.


Texas A&M is doing nothing wrong, or even involved. It is all coordinated through boosters, who are not even necessarily speaking directly to the recruits.

In previous years, money was (allegedly) dispersed to recruits under the table. It was and is illegal to hand a prospect money directly in return for his commitment.

That is not what Texas A&M is doing. Under the NCAA’s new rules on Name, Image and Likeness, it can be done above the table, kind of.

Like what is reportedly being done amongst the boosters at A&M — and everywhere across the country — money can be distributed through deals for NIL. A recruit can be offered a lucrative deal in return for a commitment. Not directly, but the idea can be floated and if/when a prospect enrolls, it can be signed and paid out.

The University of Texas reportedly weaponized NIL to land No. 1 overall quarterback recruit Quinn Ewers. Texas boosters are also paying every offensive lineman on scholarship $50,000 through NIL— a well-known fact that could entice offensive line recruits to commit to the Longhorns. SMU boosters and notable alumni also announced a huge amount of money for NIL.

It’s happening everywhere, just look at Caleb Williams. Lane Kiffin spoke about it earlier this year and had a very blunt assessment of the NIL landscape.

So, when the math is all said and done, for Texas A&M to spend that reported number, is not hard to believe. The price of oil is up right now, there is money in the state of Texas. Good for the Aggies boosters for having that kind of dough and using it effectively.


Here is how it reportedly plays out in College Station:

• A recruit is targeted for a specific recruiting class.
  
• A “point donor” then heads the recruiting effort.
  
• The “point donor” gathers other donors around him.
  
• Those donors create an LLC.
  
• The LLC sponsors the targeted recruit and pays out deals for NIL if/when he enrolls.
  
• That recruit, upon arrival on campus, receives money from the LLC.
  
• In turn, the recruit promotes the LLC and its “cause,” whether that be a charity or a business.
  

According to SlicedBread, the Aggies even have a backstop in place. The deals are structured to keep players in College Station for multiple years.

Contracts are set up as multi-year deals. If a player leaves, he leaves the money behind in Texas.

NIL has changed the landscape of college football and what A&M is doing is completely legal and clearly effective.

Not only do the Aggies have the No. 1 recruiting class for 2022, but they currently hold the No. 2-ranked class for 2023. They all-but print money in College Station and it is really paying off. Literally.

Would not be surprised in the least if this was true.

If abiding by the rules, kudos to them.  I'm surprised our boosters didn't come up with something first.  Aren't our boosters > a$m boosters?

To be only the 189th ranked player in the nation (247 Composite), this kid has a pretty damn impressive offer list. Pretty much all the top teams in the country. 

Also, I believe Joseph Ossai was ranked somewhere near this as well (I think he was 185 or 186).  Not LTG will be as dominant as Ossai was on defense, but he could be.

 

[NEOkHorn]

What do we expect after the aggies bought prospects #1-150. 
 

On a somewhat related note, sources say a podium is being erected at Kyle so the aggies can be pronounced NC on live local tv simultaneously with whoever wins tomorrow night.

 

[Eastexhorn]

Texas now has 29  cplayers signed. 27 HS 2 transfers, also 1 commitment unsigned. After Campbell makes 30 proably leaves portal players left

2 spaces for sure and most likely 3. Who what position and when are the burning questions.

Feb. will answer some of thesequestions espicaly Campbell.

Jr. and Sr. days and then spring game to look forward to.Will we see a go go offense?
