Lol. Fucking love Compton. There needs to be more of this.

I really wish one of these kids would tweet something like this and put at the end I’m joking I went to so and so school because I just got paid bitches.

The 1890 boys need to step their game up.

It’s a joke that it’s at this point In general

 

[Pipe Line]

He went with Nebraska originally because Oklahoma wouldn’t match his Nebraska nil.

Either Oklahoma matched or he went back to
His original choice

I understand that. NIL is a joke IMO

 

[Pipe Line]

What’s the relevance here ?

That NIL is a joke and the fact that you can do what he did is atrocious. I wouldn’t respect a kid if he did it in our favor

 

[Cash68847]

I disagree with Wilson here because of the need factor with our line. Even if he would be average it’s a big step up from where we’ve been at the tackle position and you don’t have to worry about a guy like Corcoran playing out of position.

True but we have huge needs at like 8 out of 22 positions. We're not winning the West this year. We're likely talking about 4-8 to 6-6 range. With a bunch of luck maybe you get 8-4. But I can see Rhule/1890 not wanting to blow the bank on a bunch of 1 yr mercenaries to get a couple extra wins.

If we were coming off a 8-4 season then it'd make a lot more sense. But 4-8 when our HC usually tears everything out in 1st yr of his projects.... it honestly doesn't make much sense. And I'm not saying don't buy ANY players I'm just questioning whether it's worth it to vastly overpay for a guy who could be Ochaun Mathis pt 2.

Does anyone seriously know how much Rouse was offered in NIL or are they just making shit up?

No one will ever know these true amounts IMHO.

But the rumor was $500k for Rouse and we got outbid. The Ochaun Mathis winning bid was rumored to be $650k. The player statuses are kind of similar, so I could see them going for similar rates. Though Mathis had 2 yrs of eligibility so he's more expensive.

But yeah no one really knows these deals.

 

[Freebird]

Even at that point you throw a high number back.

I read that Mathis made 600k last year for one year so if Rouse, who is in the highest position of need for us, was only offered 500k, that’s serious disservice by 1890

But also I would probably believe it since we just lost out on two lineman in the same week because of our NIL

 

[HuskerDocCo]

fvck this kid!!!! WOW what disrespect for our university and corches!! what’s that noise??! Oh ya, it’s the soft pop of another ACL

Lmao WILD that you and I just had almost the same exact reply

we need to SELL nebraksa on porkin farm girls, learning to run block , and Eatin chili and cinnamon rolls FARRRTTT

 

[skerfan]

It depends how bad you need a left tackle. Get use to this. If you need a guy bad enough you’re going to have to open the checkbook and possibly overpay. Look at the bright side before NIL this guy wouldn’t have gave us the time of day. We just need to finish the deal. These south schools are showing we better step up our NIL game. We just got beat out by two for linemen.

Out bidding is one thing. Renegotiating after a deal has already been agreed upon by both parties is something slime balls do.

This also a possibility. He might have went back to OU and said get close or match their price, and I’m yours because he really didn’t like what Rhule and Raiola had to sell compared to OU. Either way we lost a pretty big need for next year.

What is blowing the bank?

Idk it’s recruiting. It’s not that much different than the past when a kid flips at the last minute. Like I said get use to it. With NIL you’re going to see even more late flips. I also don’t feel sorry for coaches when they take off from their jobs all the time for better opportunities.

Fuck that guy…

No. I have been in sales for 25 years and I can’t stand people that shake your hand and give their word then 15 minutes later they are trying to renegotiate. Not a year after out performing their deal, I am talking about situations where literally nothing has changed since the deal was made. When you shake on a deal and you are a full grown man then you stick to it and stop pursuing a better one.

That’s fine but this shit happens all the time in recruiting. Sometimes we are on the good end of flips and sometimes we aren’t. This one really sucks because it was at a big position of need.
