Louisville always dropped some bags for basketball, it was only a matter of time until they started doing that in football.

oh better hope not.. if this was coming off a 2 loss season?? ehhhh y'all just don't have the cache to recruit better

Apparently nobody not named Texas A&M does. Have you heard Saban the last couple of days?

If they don't have the cash, it's not for lack of trying. I know several people who have been contacted. Word is OU's still waiting to see how a lot of stuff turns out before they open up the checkbook. OU isn't broke. But we'll see if their war plan works. However, I have always said the most important thing is to win this year and show the world that Venables is on the right track. These little whores can be turned on a dime if they see success + $$$. Be patient, grasshopper.

not just about money, but BV better get on his staff if they don't finish strong.. and he has to get with the times and not do the whole if you look elsewhere, we don't want you anymore attitude. Even Dabo is starting to correct that train of thought

I'm not sure where you are getting the stuff about he's blowing off people who are looking elsewhere. If you have something, please share it with me. Or maybe you are alluding to his policy of not going hard after Clemson players/prospects after he made the jump to OU. I can't imagine Venables or his staff breaking weak and being Eddie Ethics about every little thing. Castiglione is the one who started pumping the brakes on shelling out for players and it still hasn't happened.....yet. There is a lot of time yet to do that. I have zero faith in any of these players keeping their word so buying them now or later is pretty much all 3-D chess. We'll see. Our 2022 class was a nice surprise so Venables is doing something right.

he pushed out Cozart who still was taking visits and talking to other programs

Cozart explained his choice of Oregon as a desire to get back to the Pacific Northwest where he's from and his interest in playing in the Oregon O. Who knows what the truth is?
