Can we end the contest now? Championship pick: LSU by 10

Exactly. A duffel bag of 100K isnt being offered to every kid and dont think its being offered right off the bat. I think the NCAA is full of corruption, but I dont think its nearly to the degree some might think.

I think he is just saying he would be surprised if every 5 star was approached by a bag man or offered additional incentives. I would believe at one point every 5 star is offered something that is breaking the rules. I am more interested in how many accept and what those incentives vary from. Does a 5 star sign on a dotted line for a car or special treatment or is it just a big bag of $$$... I also am a bit surprised one of these kids doesnt alert officials more often. "Kid A is offered something extra by school, something happens and that offer is pulled, Kid A is pissed and goes to NCAA to report University" Who knows.

Agreed. You know whats cool- MAKING BUCKETS! GRANNY UP PLAYAS!

Those would have been 3 huge hits if they would have been able to get them.... Great job by the staff to hang on to those 3.

Schaefer said the transfer from Rutgers Vokolek counts toward this years numbers, so I wonder if we only have room for 2 with one of those being Betts?

I mean more he took another job and they threw money at him to keep him. But yes, I think he deserves a raise with what he has done in FL.

I doubt that. I think Martinez is your starter but hopefully they will get smart enough to use Luke in some packages and find him ways on the field. I assume Martinez wasnt fully healthy but I think Frost has hitched his wagon to him. Vedral is a solid backup but I am just hoping this was just a bad year for Martinez because it seemed like his struggles were far more than just an injury... but he is still young, so I am fine with working through them.

So, on the grid @Mavric was so kind to share he listed Vok as a SR... How many years do we get out of him... 1 or 2?

From one of the tweets I heard, it sounded like another team might have brought it up to him. I assume the Miami guy ran with it because he overheard something while being at the school. He was on the phone probably trying to get a hold of a coach to understand if the rumor was true. That is my guess. Will be interesting to see if Fisher magically gets a raise...

Complete guess with no knowledge, but names I would be curious if we see on the team: Pernell Jefferson Tony Butler Jaylin Bradley Not super clued in, but curious what we do at TE as well....

Exactly.. Recruiting rankings mean nothing if you dont get players that fit your system and you can grow. Wisconsin picks players that fit their system and they coach them up. That being said, if Nebraska can pick guys who fit the system and can coach them, I like our chances because the more talented players should exceed. Nebraska has to do something with a top 20 recruiting class before I will get too excited. The one thing I like is they seem to have kids who really want to be here and they are mixing in JUCO kids.

Now now now... Lets not be too bitter. We welcomed a guy earlier who pulled some of this stuff. Happy Slusher found the right place for him. Bummed we couldnt get him but very happy with this class.

Pig soohie.... or whatever they say... Dang.. Thought we were ending on a hot streak

Betts, Payne and Aho havent signed. Well, I guess according to some Payne has signed. If Betts signs we have 1 open slot and doesnt look like Aho will sign. We look to be pretty much filled up.

By my math we have 20 who have signed so far. 2 more committed and expected to sign today- Fleming and Conn 2 who are committed and signing in Feb- Betts and Aho Waiting on Payne and Slusher. So, possibly all 26 are spoken for, could be a couple openings.

WELCOME YOUNG MAN! Seems like a sharp kid who used prep school to get his head in the right place. Welcome N!

Fleming Then Brown Payne I think we miss on Slusher.

Sadly this is the norm.... Find a few kids who were 4 star recruits and after they graduate college, ask them about the recruiting process. I use to work with a couple of former collegiate basketball players and the stories are crazy what happens but also once they are on the team it is crazy some of the stuff that happens.

YES SIR!!! I feel like this dude might become one of our favorites.. I am excited about his motor.

Sadly they cant really say anything about it.. or they wont. But something happened and sure does seem like it might have been some dirty recruiting from Miami...

HAHAHAHA-- If this isnt a "Shut up Miami, I AINT LEAVING TWEET" then I dont know what is

I assume he was getting it from someone who was trying to get him to stir stuff up. Someone in Miami thought they could get a last second steal so fed BS to a reporter.

Salt water or fresh water? Mom of a different commit.
