I think he's committing at 7. Although with commitments to a top 5, commitments to official visits, commitments to All-America bowls and commitments to make commitments, I really have no idea in recruiting anymore.

Donald J. Trump is the epitome of an American Patriot - exemplified by his combat service in Vietnam, giving him Conservative credentials. This is supplemented by his well established work with Christian communities, extensive work with Conservative causes and his steadfast belief in his America First policies. He's not just some grifter who was able to take over the Republican Party by appealing to conservatives paranoia and conspiratorial nature. I mean, so you think we'd just ignore decades of evidence to vote for any idiot with a shiny 'R' next to his name?

Yeah, the GOP is hopeless. This guy really believes that when he voted for Trump twice, he wasn't exactly who he is today. Because that would reveal uncomfortable truths about the Republican Party and the constituency that votes for it. Despite decades of evidence, ample warning, and Trump himself laying the groundwork all summer leading up to the election in 2020. This is why these people will vote for Trump a third time. In no world are they going to realize they're voting for a moron. They're going to create reality that exists only in their head to justify their voting behavior.

I'm with you there. If Nelson doesn't go to Nebraska, I would hope he attends a school that isn't Georgia/Alabama/Ohio State. This sport is going through a talent consolidation crisis, where 4 or 5 teams hoard all the talent. All roads lead to those teams blowing the doors off whoever they play. Makes the sport dull and unexciting.

Right on queue, a crystal ball for Georgia was just put in.

HahahahahahajajajajJhHa. This is hilarious. I mean sure, it's exhibit A in why the MAGA horde is completely hopeless. But it is funny.

I can't believe how the 2020 election broke Trump and turned him into this. I voted for this guy twice and I'm shell-shocked that it has come to this. Up until that point he was a Patriotic, America loving, straight shooter who would self sacrifice anything for the greater good. Now look what the Democrats did to him. As a voter, I certainly wasn't easily duped to vote for an idiot. Because if that were true it would probably say another about my voting preferences and I'd probably have to look myself in the mirror. No, Trump was fine pre-2020 (there were absolutely no warnings about this). Yes, I will be returning to the voting booth in 2024, no I will not be doing any soul searching prior to that point.

This always makes be chuckle. The both-sides stuff from Conservative posters. It's always a Democrat on a county environmental commission compared to leading candidates for the Republican nomination - the overall leader of which is currently having a meltdown over a pending indictment.

To be fair to Ron DeSantis, the blame can't be on just him. Screwing over America's poor and most vulnerable in the name of 'fiscal responsibility' while simultaneously passing regressive tax cuts has been part of Conservatism for decades.

I do think this aspect is a bit overblown. I know of my own personal experience in college talking to players - who seemed genuinely nervous about extra benefits - as well as the experience of a friend who owns a memorabilia store. Players were extremely nervous to even talk about signing items for pay until they graduated, and the sums of money weren't large. Was it happening? Sure, but I don't think it was as widespread as people think.

One of those TEs is rated higher than Nelson. Talent consolidation in college football is becoming a major issue. Hopefully Nelson stays with Nebraska.

Who? Buford and Nelson perhaps. I'm not sure who else. I get that. But the most common talking point when a coach starts a job recruiting 3* players is that they are "his" type of player. All coaches get this treatment after being hired. There isn't anything new or unique about recruiting track athletes and trying to make them into football stars. Maybe he will, maybe he won't. But Nebraska supposedly has a large NIL endowment and it's not leading to any surge in talent the team desperately needs.

Coming at a time when the Federal Reserve is trying to limit growth as much as possible no less.

The talent level of this recruiting class is concerning. Perhaps Nebraska plans on supplementing with transfer Portal talent from schools with hoards of talent. I mean this in a way that it's part of their long term recruiting strategy.

Related to this recruit or someone else?

If there's one thing I've learned about recruiting, it's that it doesn't matter how much talent the top teams hoard. New players will just keep going there.

Such is the nature of politics. I personally find it more funny than anything, but it is something both parties do because it works. Now, I would say that the economic recovery is very robust, and snapping back all the jobs past during COVID is still an accomplishment. In the UK and other European countries, recovering jobs lost during COVID has proven difficult.

This is incredibly funny. And to think people voted for this, twice, and will do so a third time.

Yeah! He's not some obvious opportunistic grifter that I fell for last time. He hasn't just copied Trump's schtick - down to his hand movements - he has deep policy goals that help every day Americans! Now sure, he never discusses that policy, and his campaign thus far relies entirely on political theater. But these Republican politicians won't fool me again! Fool me once, shame on you. Grift me 47 times with everybody shouting into the void that my electoral choices are dangerous, well, it makes me want to vote even harder!

I think McCarthy thing to negotiate from a position of power, mostly to cut services for the poor, is funny - because his voting baseis too crazy to vote for anything that involves a functioning government. If Republicans were normal, actually had policy or had motives outside of "democrats bad", then bipartisanship is good. These Republicans are mostly opportunistic morons with the only interest of causing harm because they think it helps them get elected.

Democrats saving Republicans from themselves today is hilarious. Republicans are so far gone that their voting base won't tolerate any cooperation with Biden - so Dems had to rescue the agreement.

A straighshooter. Really, truly cared about Conservatism and his America First Agenda. Then George Soros and the evil DEMON-crats won in 2020 and Trump, who I voted for twice, just isn't the same now. There was no possible way for me to know that such an honest, Patriotic, hard working American would turn on a dime like this. Luckily I won't be duped again, Ron DeSantis is as genuine as they come!

.... which is?

A good chunk of the Republican Caucas are 'No' votes on any legislation. It turns out that "Gubmint is bad!" as a political gambit means you get morons and grifters in government. Since these people can't be appeased with anything other than the dissolution of government in general, you get what you see today.
