What can we deduce from this? I don't know. Kind of a low number so far and the deals trickle in slowly. Mostly older guys with Ajay and Teddy being the youngest. Also notable as to who isn't signed so far. There are other collectives so maybe not everybody will be a part of this one. It will take us some time to see how things go, but this list is basically our biggest names and a few new transfers.

Thoughts?

They are the most important ones to the program currently. I’m sure as spring ball goes on and the coaches see where they will end up long term I bet we see more signings.

It's totally interesting when you see who isn't signed up......(cough) .... Benhart. (unless I missed the tweet for him)

But one would assume that we would want to sign Buford up quick as a way to show his little brother (a big recruit) how we take care of our guys. What about Hartzog? Seems we should be all over him. (Again I have no idea of knowing, he may have been offered already)
 

It sounds terrible but it's a bad use of funds if you're giving any of your NIL war chest to the bottom 1/3 of your roster.

Can we trust 1890? Or will it be another embarrassing scam like ABM was? Gerrod & Bruning really screwed us and our players over. I'm not sure how much faith I have in Matty D & the Peeds. I still have trust issues with them after the shenanigans they have pulled over the years. Hoping Turd has a handle on them

By removing Gerrod from the equation and having Turd and Rhule handling the football program, I feel like 1890 will be fine in their role.
 
Is ABM still around? I haven't heard anything from them lately.
Turd is supposedly still cleaning up that mess and figuring ways to right some wrongs. The Peeds are helping cover up some of the issues through1890. Was told ABM could have gotten us some seriously bad national publicity and potential trouble.

If Peeds are truly covering the overhead I'm not sure how 1890 could crew it up short of Davison embezzling money.

So I guess Davison embezzling money is a possibility.
 
Will this get us enough wins for a bowl game? I’m fucking tired of spending bowl season watching teams like Buttgers and Purdoodoo, but no Nebraska.

If not, who cares.
