You think CIS gets an A for the effort of trying to understand nuance?

:ROFLMAO:

You have a lot more faith on that point than I do...

You are one of the good ones, you do make the effort, you do seek the information. Many prefer to be spoonfed oversimplifications.

It's not that I have all this faith and more like I was using a movie line I've always wanted to use. 🤣

Thank you for the kind words my friend. I appreciate it.

What don’t people like about him?

His quarterback tape showed an electric runner with the ball in his hands. A guy that size with that combination of speed, agility, balance,and elusiveness is rare.

Every time he ran the ball, I was thinking about the Randy Moss play when he took the screen and jumped over the guys head. He may not have the same top end speed, but he moves like that.

I want him on the team bad. He has superstar traits if he gets more polished as a receiver.

That's wild you invoked Randy Moss. That's what I thought of as well. I do not in any way mean to suggest that he will be anywhere near the player Randy Moss was but Russell's play style reminds me of him.

Which then really comes down to the $$ value each school puts on him. I think people assume that every school agrees on the value of a particular recruit, and then it comes down to where the player wants to be, and which school has the budget.
When in reality schools place different $$ values on players. Which means that Oregon may evaluate Russell to be worth more than UM does. And if that is the case, Oregon, or some school other than UM, will secure Russell.

I wonder if CIS can understand the nuances behind NIL valuation?

To your point certain schools like to make a point. Oregon would love to have the perceived top 2 player down here. I am in no way making a prediction here as I'm not sure who's going to make that final offer. Mario does same ****. He wants to make the SEC as a whole look bad and take players. This one I wouldn't make a prediction on if I were anyone lol

If Him and Keys are both just going to highest bidder, no question you push all the chips in for Keys. But we need a Big HS WR class imo. I don't like all the smoke that Jasen Lopez won't be in this class for instance. He'd be a great WR4-5 in this class imo.

But imo prioritize landing Lamar Brown for sure. **** id prioritize trying to flip some of these USC commits like Topui. I think USC might be easiest program to get flips from. Though Mater Dei/SoCal kids usually love USC so obviously tough to get any of them but if they don't win 10 this year it could totally collapse on them. ...

We need 1 stud WR, like 3 stud DLineman (preferably 2 DT 1 EDGE), and some top Safeties this class. To pair with a top OLine class and Derek Cooper at RB ...

Gaby: ima gonna log a 20% chance we get some poon tang. Reason i say that is it is a horehouse. Feeling good about the good guys!
Me: huh? Come on bro its a horehouse.
Gaby: we do have a good NIL we'll see. Ive logged my prediction

Is the horehouse in Louisiana? It would greatly decrease our chances. Some of these bayou towns have issues with access to prophylaxis. They only raw dog in state clients.

Randy was beyond belief. Average 30 ppg and I think dozen boards pg in HS. That's beside being one if the most decorated football players of his time
Bowden said he was a bigger, strong Deion.

If this kid is 50% Moss, he's an all American
Let's get him and find out

All I want to know is there chance of a senerio where him and keys end up in the same class here ???

I don't think we get Keys or Hampton. So, Pay the man. Pay Wingo too.

That Wingo, Russell, Jroc Lopez grouping im all for.

I still have interest in Larry Miles (qb connection), Jayden Petit (Big body wr), Zion Robinson (tall speed) i stll havent gotten on the spafford board so i havent watched his film but dmoney and the crew said theres a chance there.

Please don't do that to yourself, this kid OR ANYONE ELSE... I wouldn't care what anyone says. Randy was 1 of 1. Not an insult to this kid. But other than the fact he's tall and plays multiple sports, they have nothing in common. Randy is the scariest receiver in the HISTORY of this game & honestly it ain't even close(which says a lot).

CIS can’t figure out who Brooklyndee is?

What makes you think we’ll figure out NIL valuation 😂
