On AJ Haulcy…

Miami is +300 on DraftKings.

Stop gaslighting people into being negative about the football team. They don’t need any help.

I use Fan Duel

So at this point are we just waiting for him to commit to LSU or there still a chance with us ?
 
It’s not just that. Most likely players talk. If you’re in that DB room and know that he got $2.24M and you’re at $800K, you might seek your own raise or enter the portal yourself. Either it attrits a player from LSU or it makes their talent budget even more unwieldy by having to raise other DBs.

And if your starting defensive line are making $1M to $1.5M, they’ll want raises too if a safety is now out earning them. Again, salary escalation pressure on LSU.
Portal is Closed Unless your a Grad Transfer . Leverage is gone, what College player is willing to sit out a Season & More iThan $500,000 NiL?
 
Everyone thought miami was adding a wr1 impact lb DL etc back then. Don’t think Clemson needed to add as much as we did. We added a few guys but I wouldn’t call any of them major impact. Depth guys and guys that’ll play yes but not what we were expecting before the portal started. I thought we could be a 10-2 team. I see us closer to an 8-4 team.
I wish I can argue this take but my expectations for this season have dropped quite a bit.
 
People who want to play for Brian Kelly automatically lose all my respect and willingness to obtain them.

So **** him and at least hope that he doesn't have to climb up somewhere

It's Raymond's track record. No one wants to play for Kelly. Just like no one wants to play for Day. But WRs still flock to Hartline.
 
No one is giving him 2 mil for 1 year.

Not LSU, not Miami, not Ole Miss.

Our offer is probably like 750-800k, he’ll try to get roughly 7 figures from LSU…they’ll reluctantly give in and that’ll be that.

If we don’t think he’s worth the gap, then ok fine. It’s not my money, but I think he’s worth 1 mil to our defense.

Then pay it

That’s cool. But you’re looking at one book that’s “moving” with bets that have insanely low limits right now.

This is also a lesson as to why you should shop lines.
Haha I don’t literally just use Fanduel. It’s just the largest and most popular book to go off of to post lines
 
I really dont think we would have ever gotten Thomas AND Haulcy, seemed like one or the other. both have 1 year left and aren't going to risk not having enough PT

coaches weren't playing the game and closed on Thomas IMO

I don’t expect him to be a Cane at this point. Per sources, it’s become clear he wanted to play in the SEC and LSU all along and is stringing along the process by asking for increasingly unrealistic amounts from Miami. I heard the latest ask is $2 million. Canes won’t be outbid but this feels like a squeeze job to get as much as possible from LSU.
Thanks for the info D$ !! Don’t want to start a thread on this , are we pretty much done in the portal if we’re not what we looking for ?
