Question for the insiders. I heard from a pretty good source that Domask NIL was very low last year. If he does get the waiver (although from the same source I have heard not a good chance it happens) do we plan to up his NIL pretty drastically? I would sure hope so.
It was posted by an 'insider' a couple of weeks ago that if Coleman and or Marcus return, a couple of big doners have offered to pony up their NIL so Illinois could recruit the portal without having to hold back NIL dollars for CH and/or MD.

Unfortunately canā€™t help but agree with this. I suspect the staff was a bit blindsided by the sheer amount of money being thrown around / the asks for elite talent being higher than expected. Canā€™t really blame them, the whole sport seems a bit shell shocked by the last few weeks. Seems like there was a lot of confidence of an extremely strong roster and that has dissipated as reality has set in.
The party people clearly have arrived.

Good. Lord. We just signed one of the best recruiters in the nation as part of our coaching staff. Can we at least give him and the rest of the coaches another week before stamping "FAIL" on our recruiting season? Please?

I remember the insiders alluding to a hotel meeting with Storr in Minneapolis at the BTT, but still not sure if we should be concerned or not. Insiders - do these allegations have any legs/potential repercussions? Not saying every school doesnā€™t do this, they probably do. But Iā€™m getting flashbacks to Bruce Pearl, though the two situations are very very different.

This is true, we did have a deal with Storr in February. Also likely won't be proven and back-channeling and tampering is happening everywhere. Wisconsin won't call it out because they're doing the same thing.

Awaka isn't back yet either.

Barnes got Knecht to 100 DRtg. You're probably right he can get Lanier there too.

Big get for them if it does happen.
Really donā€™t understand Awaka entering the portal. Estrella is the only other big on the roster and itā€™s not like Awaka was highly touted.

If it is with an NIL collective and Storrs people I donā€™t know how there can be any repercussions. Coaching staff or athletic department and Storr directly? Sure. Doesnā€™t seem to be the case tho.

His people negotiating and not him makes that allegation completely toothless.

Iā€™ve long been a proponent of Steak n Shakeā€™s fries, but with one huge caveat: you MUST eat them immediately out of the fryer. Even a short drive home turns them into soggy mush.

110% this. And to be honest...I treat McD's the same way. Order them without salt and they have to put a new basket down just for you!
It's so worth the wait I can't believe everyone doesn't do it.


Edit: and the Fry Guys ad campaign absolutely has to be in the top 20 weirdest ad campaigns ever...
