Jimmy Lake is Ballz. Prove me wrong.

We're really taking Betteridge's Law for a spin around here lately.

I had to look. I'm sure everyone else already knows but this is funny1to392831weretaken said:We're really taking Betteridge's Law for a spin around here lately.
Betteridge's Law
A parodic scientific law stating that any headline ending in a question mark can safely be answered with "no." Extremely useful in this age of clickbait.
Clickbait: "Did this man cure cancer by spreading dog shit on his face?? The answer will amaze you!!"
Smart guy: "No. If it was true then it wouldn't need the question mark."
Clickbait: "But don't people enjoy suspenseful headlines?? The answer is astounding!!"
Smart guy: "Betteridge's Law." (Keeps scrolling.) -
I would bet Don James back in the day was a lousy recruiter. All he probably had to say was, "We're here to win" and let the behind the scenes coaching and on the field performance do the talking. Recruits would come to UW because they consistently overachieved in all the games regardless of their opponent. Jimmy lake will have to do the same. That's pretty much the only way to compete with the way the landscape is setting up with amateur money making and other deals behind the scenes.

if you're right, there must be stories about it. anyways, It's all about development and overachievement now if the school doesn't have the resources to "fund" players. College football is about to get very interesting. Teams might be better off not recruiting 5 star players who will get big money deals and become a distraction to their teams....However 3 star player who overachieve could get compromised psychologically as well as soon as they start showing some potential on the field.RaceBannon said:

Don James may have quit on his team but I doubt he was lazy.

Quick search didn't find it but Beno did get a car
UW was serious then -
Bryant said Washington Coach Don James asked him about the car about two weeks ago. ". . . Coach James said if you got that car from an agent, you’re ineligible,” Bryant said.RaceBannon said:https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-12-19-sp-2090-story.html

That's pretty funny story. Agents and coaches apparently can work independently not knowing what the other side is doing -

Willis had an Uzi. There was gunfire, followed by helicopters.
Quint delivered the bomb. James got his guy.
Beno wasn't a 4 star but he got loose. (Howard Cosell had retired by then) -
No. Recruits going to UW won’t get anything from NIL. A star player that has produced could.lvd said:

It’s a disadvantage in Seattle compared to college towns. More money in the city, but every almost single Seahawks player is more recognizable to the public than a UW player. -
Yes UW and Seattle has plenty of ways to grow through tourism, tech, and research opportunities. They're not as desperate and are going to be more willing to take the high road. Whereas other schools in SE or mid-US that have nothing else going on except football and Covid revitalization. Having 40 5-star players on a team is going to become a liability very soon. Big money in the hands of teenagers is kryptonite to work ethic. Above average on field performance one week and off the radar the next. Just observe majority of spoiled rich kid with billionaire parents.RoadDawg55 said:

What the fuck do you think 17 year old boys want to research?
Schools in the SE have nothing to offer football players besides the thing they do, football?
The SE is awful for them. The fastest growing region in the country, already home to the most football talent, matches the demographics of an average college football team the closest, has warmer weather, with a mix of both shitty schools and good ones, where they were willing to pay when it was against the rules, and better looking women. Other than that there’s not much to offer. Fewer breweries, artisanal coffee houses, and tech startups - I’m not sure how they get any recruits to go there to begin with.
40 5-stars does sound bad. Alabama had 18 one time, and they didn’t even win the title - they lost to Clemson and their measly six 5-stars, so I think you’re on to something here.
Young people getting money is the worst. That’s why high school to NBA players like Lebron James and Kobe Bryant are famous for their laziness. Once they got those millions they didn’t want anymore millions, a common theme among millionaires from all professions. Alabama’s QB is getting a million dollars, which I assume is representative of every player at every position.
Speaking of wealth, out of all of the children of billionaires I know there hasn’t been a single successful football player. Not just football, all throughout history the great names you know came from parents who were not wealthy. Since they weren’t busy counting their money they had opportunity to pursue education and passions.

I don’t think you’re wrong, but there will certainly be a huge flameout because of money. Guys will get in trouble and in with the wrong people. It won’t be common, but it will happen.RatherBeBrewing said:
