Fragile ego, possibly, it's the one thing you replied to.

I'll tell you what, prove me wrong. I don't talk what I hear, people tell me in DM's when I'm active, but prove yourself. Shoot me a DM with your Wow info, I'll keep it between you and I. **** happens, I'll sing your praises, happily be wrong.

Let's recap though. You post one time, with a literal nothing burger post. 11 or 13 pages later, I find that amusing. I don't recall seeing your claims come to fruition in the past and that could be a me problem.

So let's hear it. You don't have **** to prove to me, I wish you the best life has to offer, but do you. You got something, cool, but this is an attention seeking post on your part if I've ever seen one.

I don't wish you anything good bad or indifferent it's a message board. I don't know you or care too haha. I won't be dming you. Good luck to you and I'll keep seeking my attention from a bunch of message board strangers. It's very important to my self identity

someone mentioned that UM is basically doing a “moneyball” analysis and putting NIL to the positions the metrics say are most valuable. It is odd though that it puts so little value in WRs and LBs. Obviously everything can’t be equally important or it makes the exercise irrelevant, but I look at Clemsons championships in the 2010s- they were built on QB, WR, LBs. Decent OL and secondary but didn’t seem like top priorities. I think Cristobal is trying to build a SEC type team, but nearly all the good ones feature elite receivers. Bummer if we miss on 5 star WR talent again.

Please provide the post where someone said that UM is actually doing this "moneyball" thing. I know for a fact that one poster said that Miami COULD do such a thing, but nobody said that UM was actually doing this.

More importantly, I conversed with a well-connected member of the Collective on Friday (as did several other CIS posters) and he said nothing about this "moneyball" analysis. He did have several OTHER interesting things that he told us about how the Collective operates, but certainly not this "moneyball" hypothesis.

The fact that several posters are speaking as if they know what the issues at WR and LB are is hilarious. Almost all of the people opining on this subject are both incorrect and completely unaware of what is actually going on.

Clearly it is and I knew you'd go that way. I see you, lol. More clicks for DMoney though.

Yea idk if this is a real thing. But I’ll just say this. Go look at like 2020-2023 wr rankings. You’ll look at the top 10-15 wr in the class and it isn’t pretty. Way more whiffs than solid players. Then look at Oline and Dline. Spend the money where it’s easier to predict

I think he meant me. I wrote a post that was derived from what OP implied, and from what DMoney said on a podcast. The basic point was that UM is using some system to determine value of player and value of position.
But as you and I would certainly agree, there needs to be a systematic way of determine $$$ value and not just throwing darts at a dart board.

Assuming UM has a system which is based on data analytics, and again I am basing this as much on common sense as actual knowledge, then from that assumption and looking at how UM has recruited the past few years, it seems very clear that we are not spending money on 5 star QB’s. We are definitely spending money on 5 star OLine and DLine, as well as DB starting with the money allocation in the portal this year, and the commits for 2026. Now none of this is specific to any one player. But from patterns we can make basic assumptions. And UM under Mario seems to have a clear recruiting pattern as to NIL allocation.

I also assume there is a data analytics system in place because every pro league with a salary cap uses a system to determine position value. QB, OT, DE, WR…….RB, Kicker. So if the NFL has the data to support how money should be allocated within a cap league, then it would almost be beyond belief, IMO, that UM and other major universities aren’t doing similar analysis. And if they are not, they are behind the curve because someone university is.

I would not call this Moneyball because that was based on a premise of identifying characteristics that were undervalued by every one else. Here everyone already has the data. But some read it differently than others, and still pay for 5 star QB’s.
