    Will be hilarious if he sucks

    Odds are good

    NIL isn't a horrible idea for actual players who are enrolled

    Always better to pay for performance than potential

    But the cats out now

    It's a recruiting tool

    This is for Nico Iamaleava to go to Tennessee instead of Oregon.

    It’s sickening. I think this is the best arm talent this side of Herbert, and we(?) have been outbid. Just makes me sick.

    Yeah, I’m sure Oregon had a great chance at the kid.

    This and almost any NIL deal seems like the worst investment ever.

    It’s just really rich dudes getting in a Dick measuring contest while other rich dudes sit over to the side talking about how bad if an investment it is

    Oh yeah, what’s the scoop? Did you have some better info than all the recruiting sites or have you sunk to such football lows that it’s not just “someone else beat Oregon, nothing else matters” you’re disputing hat-on-the-table status? You can’t even enjoy me being sad over teen boys, you have to dispute our(?) placement in the sweepstakes?

    I don’t know if he was in any group chat. He did have a six inch Wolfdong that got flipped from Oregon to Tennessee this week when he agreed to the NIL deal. Three weeks ago he told ON3 he was committing in April, and their recruiting prediction thingy overwhelmingly predicted him to Oregon. Yesterday Tennessee’s site said it’s probably them, followed by Oregon and a small chance of Miami.

    Oregon just got outbid. All of his finalists “have a great NIL program” and I congratulate Tennessee on winning the auction. My condolences to Jeremy Pruitt, he was ahead of his time.

    The irony is delicious. Love that the same thing that made Oregon relevant is now, in your eyes, what is hurting Oregon's chances at recruits.

    Fuck off, Duck.

    There’s some talk that this deal has some pay back to once the kid hits the pros.

    I didn’t think the fake outrage could be any more obvious. Or that this is just adding transparency to what has always gone on. But I’m glad that something football related is bringing you joy, y’all could use it.

    Yeah, I didn't read that much into his comments. He basically said the focus is keeping Washington kids home and dominating California. He noted that the 5-star kids that USC wants will stay home. So what. How many five-star players does UW ever get from anywhere, let alone Southern California. Yet even still, there is so much talent there that UW should be able to stock its program with great players (a lot of them need a year or two in the program to develop -- that's going to be where DeBoner earns his keep).

    He didn't really say anything that was surprising or worrisome, imho. It was basically a story about how he's gotten to where he is and why he's at Washington. The dude is confident. And the article noted the staff booted Glenn down to director of player development while making the Oregon guy (Henkle?) director of recruiting and a former Michigan guy as director of scouting. Bruce Harrell's daughter is director of on-campus recruiting.

    So it sounds like the grown ups are in charge. (Except in the AD's chair, and until that changes, I'm not going to get my hopes up even though I'm doogin more than I have since Peterman first came on board.)
