I like the Athletic stuff, because they aren’t really biased even though Sampson is a ND grad. E
I like the Hit and Hustle. I like ISD stuff as long as Mike Frank isn’t on it.
I like the new guy at Rivals, Kyle Kelly. He actually came from an OSU site before & he is pretty straightforward, and I think does a good job.
I will listen to the II podcast with Prister Sampson & O’Malley. They seem to keep it honest.
With IB, I like Ryan Roberts. He works hard.
With Driskell it’s tough. I appreciate all the content. I need around 90 minutes of podcast to listen to each day and if nobody else is putting stuff out I can always count on him putting 2-3 hours of podcasts out a day. I just try to ignore his rants & arrogance. And the fact 10% of the podcasts are him railing on BK or Jeff Quinn.
I really don’t listen to Singer or any of his stuff because it sucks & he is always a day behind everyone & doesn’t give any inside info. I don’t listen to Goolsby on there either but that’s for other reasons that have to do with his training facility in Omaha.

Basically, I listen to almost all the podcasts because I need at least 90 minutes of podcasts every morning starting around 0600. ND football is my only vice/hobby, so I prefer to spend that time listening to ND podcasts.

Sampson is not an ND grad - his wife went to ND for law school I think

Oh yeah. He went to DePauw. I always forget because he talks about his kids & ND all the time in regards to his wife, but I forget he went to DePauw. And he help start II back in the day.

I'm not doubting you, but the hottest peppers I grow are Joe's Chocolate Bhutlah and Ed's Carolina Reapers. Both of which should be around 1.5-2.2+ million SHUs. Evaporative mash for concentration? I'm quite happy around 2 million SHUs.
15m Scoville is pure capsaicin. Was exaggerating for comedic effect.

TIFWIW, but a poster on another board with some inside knowledge says Dantes dad tried to ask for money for bringing Dante to the Blue/Gold game. Apparently that changed the dynamic of the recruitment.

They’re ripping Tom a new asshole over on II. Some people are cancelling their subs lol. Tom’s letter and Dante’s actions don’t match. They haven’t matched since April.

He said he can handle people venting but then also said he’s reading every comment (btw that probably includes here) and is taking note of some names. I told him weeks ago he’s been taking the Moore recruitment too personal.

Caleb Williams Dad, Lavar Ball, they are all just old fashion pageant moms on a CFB scale. If Oregon sees any adversity we’ll have a spring of what will Dante Moore do just like with Caleb.
They’re certainly getting ass pounded Sept 3 in Atlanta. I wonder if the staff ignored warning signs. A lot of kids are not mentally capable of being elite college QBs. CJ on the other hand.

He's lucky I share an account with my Illinois buddies and can't post. I'd be tearing him up

Im sure the staff thought their would be an end to the hoops to jump through at some point and the pay off would be worth it. To use Caleb Williams, I’m sure Lincoln Riley doesn’t like dealing with Williams Dad, but in the end Caleb will be suiting up for him another year under Riley and by all reports is a great teammate and player. Dante could be similar, it just went too far.

Yeah I am pretty sure Bophades Moore and traveling carnival qb son are not the Clinton’s. You won’t be disappeared if you get out of line.

Rivals board is getting creative. Talking about going after past recruits with eligibility and offering NIL. Remember Bubba Starling? He’s hot topic right now.

That’s a great comparison, I couldn’t remember the name but thinking the same thing.

This sounds about as productive as forcing the play of a monopoly game until every other player absolutely bankrupts and allowing no one to quit.

I’m not sure on eligibility rules but if former or failed NFL players can return to college and make NIL, it could get interesting. Things might’ve changed but there was a time in my mid to late 20’s I considered returning to a sport I played for 1 year. I reached out to the NCAA and I did have some eligibility left under the rules. That was D2. Not sure about D1. That was also like 10-15 years ago. Book come back for a season? 😂 😮

They weren't "all in". He literally committed to ND. What should they have done? They gave him about two months to prove his commitment. He didn't follow through, then they DID move on (Carr). It's not similar to Amorion. They didnt't "hang on" too long. It was a couple of months.

Did he commit to ND really? Last I checked he's heading to Oregon. If you're a silent commit you're not really committed, you're just saving a spot till you find something you like better. It's like a girl telling you you're on a break... she's just interviewing other dicks to see if she can pull something better down :laugh: Staff called his bluff with the Carr commitment, he bugged out.

Wait Loy is taking names and making an enemies list. What a dingus.
Singer did it during the switch from Rivals to On3.
A bunch of people he had fights with changed their names when they joined On3 & he looked up everyone’s info (email or IP address) to figure out who was who and sent threatening messages to them on DMs when he got to On3.
Dude is so thin-skinned & vindictive it’s comical.
Stu Coman told me on the phone that he had to make a few board members moderators over there originally because Singer was “immature” and “too thin-skinned.” It actually bothered Lou S. a lot & he had to finally step in on subscriber’s behalf.
Now on On3 some of the new employees & mods are talking about it privately how much Singer hurts the site. He tells subscribers to get the eff out when the disagree with him & on phone calls with other mods he trashes ND fans. Says how much he hates ND fans & calls them names. And he sends subscribers threatening private messages.
Two different mods/employees over there told me they are all worried about how many people are going to leave when the $1 special is up. They admitted Singer is lazy at his job & spends all day on the board getting into fights instead of his real job. Said no other mods care about 99% of what goes on the board, but Singer monitors everything and gets really upset. Said he needs to be more recruiting insider & less hall monitor. One told me he doesn’t expect people to pay $100 to be talked down to or threatened, then receive garbage recruiting info. One told me a story about how Singer would have subscribers contact other subscribers offline (so no proof on the site) to get info about them so he could ban them.

I’m really curious to see how that place ends up when the special is over. People keep cancelling & going on VPN to create another account to start a new $1 special and it skews the On3 subscriber numbers.
I know people Singer banned who just resubscribed under VPN for $1, so he is actually costing On3 $100 per person at the end of the year.

Technically his commitment to Oregon is the same as his silent to ND.
Until he signs, both mean nothing.
And even then, with the new rules, signing means only a little more.

OK 👌🏻, but why did you quote my Loy post to trash Singer. Don’t gotta convince me either are a Jag. I am kind of in the boat of they are all weirdo jock sniffers.

Bophades is like the JG Wentworth commercials “it’s my money and I want it now”. Wonder if its gambling debts, secret baby momma drama, anyone done a recent pacer search? Lol

I could have quoted any of the conversation talking about Loy keeping score. Yours was just random.
I have Loy stories too, but must have that covered here already.
I was just saying Loy isn’t the only one doing it.

I’d be pissed if I were a full-rate 247 subscriber lol. I’m glad I signed up during their mega discount.

Loy makes a big long post to “explain” his coverage of the Moore recruitment… but doesn’t actually give his subscribers any relevant info. He just uses it to show what an honorable guy he is for not ripping a recruit that obviously screwed a coaching staff pretty bad. And that’s fine! But what’s not fine is saying “something changed in the recruitment after his silent to ND,” and then NOT divulging what that thing is.

We all have a pretty good idea. But it would be nice if Loy would say what that thing is straight-up, since that’s what people pay for, or else admit that he doesn’t know what changed, and can show everyone that they were paying for bad info, because Loy got played by his sources for a long time.

Kind of crappy to give so much loyalty to a single recruit and his camp, instead of your paying subscribers.

Just my opinion, though… I’m sure one of our fine IE brethren will grace us with the true, full story, soon enough.

Tom does really good work and I think 99% of the criticism he takes his unwarranted. He’s very plugged in with recruiting; probably more than any other insider.

But the handling/coverage of this recruitment was really weird. His final piece was fluff and offered nothing new. He essentially chose a recruit over paid subs. I would think paid subscribers pay the bills. Subs want the truth, whether it’s good or bad.
