Recruiting other team's commits

ChillW
I used to have a major problem with coaches recruiting after comitments and kids flipping. But, if a school can pull the rug out from under a kid (Campbell the latest), and coaches can break contracts without penalty, then why are kids held to a higher standard? The institutions and adults are be setting the example/standard - the kids are just catching up.

I'd prefer it to be different, but wish in one hand...

4 Husker Wrestlers drop weight from last year

jtothemfp
Should be fun to watch the efficacy or lack thereof when this cutting Husker lineup meets Penn State's bumping lineup in Lincoln on 1/17/2025.

157: Kasak (3rd at 149) coming up to face a descending Antrelle Taylor (8th at 165)
165: Bubba Wilson (2024 non-qualifier, famously) (who Manning said in linked vid was unable to beat out Taylor at this weight last year) coming down to face the returning runnerup Mesenbrink
174: Lenny Pinto (R12) coming down from 184 to face Champ Haines who is bumping up 2 classes from 157
184: Silas Allred (R12) coming down to face 4x Champ Starocci who is bumping up 1 class

Reminder: Nebby did better than every other dual opponent last year, picking up 4 bout wins, including Pinto over Truax:

So, better or worse in Lincoln this year?

Of course he could have. But a lot of schools put on a pretty hard sell, and it can be hard to say no, especially if you have a connection with anyone at the school. Now with unlimited visits it's a lot easier to take a visit on a flyer. I'm sure that you know a lot of kids who are going on visits to schools that have very little chance of actually landing them.

So long as PSU is beating the shit out of everyone year in and year out everyone involved with or rooting for every other program is gonna piss their pants whining about how everything PSU does is either cheating or unethical.

And as long as they’re doing so, they’ll never catch up.

It's just one more thing that everybody else does but not as well as Cael.

I rarely watch any professional sports anymore and not much college football anymore. Never cared for college hoops (seen better games in a playground). Money is and will continue to ruin college spirts.

I am with you. I didn't miss a Steelers game for decades. Gave that up for college and now haven't watched a college game for at least 5 years.

Of course there are a lot of factors, quarterback being one very important one. Notice the history of the Patriots without Brady. Ownership is another. Ownership sets the tone for the whole organization. Most of the winners are well run football operations. Most of the losers are poorly run, as Obliviax says not considering profits. Minnesota and Buffalo are outliers. The odds of their great teams losing every Super Bowl appearance didn’t even out.

Yes. The Good Lord blessed us with our eyes to see and our brains to reason. We can see clocks run out and time put back on. We can see play clocks expire and no penalty called. We can see passes one-hop to the receiver and called completion. We know how the Big Ten operates.

Some focus on the game, the athleticism, the effort etc. Others focus on the officiating. Whatever is your cup of tea.
