And so it begins...(tracking Coach Prime decommits/transfers)

This will be shocking, but N*****damus is lying

But I want to believe it so bad. Please advise
Here's what appears to be his full contract. In skimming it, I don't see anything like that spelled out explicitly. He's specifically allotted 200k per year to use Wheels Up, but nothing specified about how that happens. It's possible CU buys him 200,000 in flight credits each year, and he can cash those out/get a refund from that company if unused.

 
Alright, not being an apologist here as he comes off as a complete egotistical douche canoe there. But a couple points he made aren't wrong.
1. He's right, his name has enough bravado that he's going to cause a lot of drama if he goes and visits 1 school and not another.
2. His personal experience about not wanting Bobby Bowden in his home is probably real and makes sense.

That being said, visiting recruits is a grind and probably mainly just something he doesn't want to do, but he also doesn't have to. He's famous enough the recruits will come to him, so why would he visit recruits?


I'm a sales guy, if I was famous enough that customers were knocking on my door to try and buy from me - I'm sure as shit not prospecting and setting up sales trips to knock on doors. I'm just picking up my phone and getting paid.
I disagree. Do you think Nick Saban just sat in his office and did this? The evidence proves Prime doesn't give a shit about recruiting for the future if his program and if he happens to land bug time commits it's because their ego is just as big as his.

I still have hope!

I dont disagree with you, obviously I'd much rather have a coach willing to hit the road and close a big recruit.

But Talent Acquisition won't be why Deon fails.
 
Can anybody in Colorado report on what the average fan's reaction to this nonsense is? Have they come to the realization that they've been conned?

I know lots of Americans struggle with recognizing when someone is absolutely milking them dry these days but I am curious anyway.
They drink the kool aid. It’s impressive how much merch this guy has sold.

The Bronco writers seem to know it but the CU fans don’t want to believe it and neither do the Dean like CU media guys. They are in complete denial

It's how he signed 7 HS recruits.
