Chasing the elite five star recruits is bad, IF it - alwaysright MU - 9/10 07:32:38

Now I would think it's just money - Genco98 MU - 9/10 12:52:29

Everyone can throw money at the players - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/10 13:02:57

No you have to be able to afford them - Genco98 MU - 9/10 13:10:48

Money is part of it. It’s not everything - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/10 16:21:08

It is main driver and you know it - Genco98 MU - 9/10 16:55:19

It is definitely a different world - Genco98 MU - 9/10 07:16:31

Or you have guys like Robinson and Pierce - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/10 10:58:05

Those aren’t examples of the type of player he’s referencing - FIJItiger MU

- 9/10 11:12:09

These types were always getting money thrown at them(nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/10 10:18:10

It used to be against the rules and punishable - FIJItiger MU

Some fans chose to be naive - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/10 10:25:10

That is a pretty nontopical response(nm) - FIJItiger MU

It’s strange how recruiting almost doesn’t matter now - FIJItiger MU

Agreed, just names and a brief recruiting profile - FIJItiger MU

- 9/10 09:46:33

It's sort of a crapshoot - o'lineydisciple MU - 9/10 09:15:54

The 3rd ranked recruit last year averaged - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/10 10:21:18

Good point. like a box of chocolate never know what you get(nm) - oldtgr MU - 9/10 09:59:41

Agreed and in this tranfer portal world everybody is a - jj40 MU - 9/10 08:31:19

One could easily argue in the old world order - Gavin Citrus MU - 9/10 08:27:04

That's a long time away - if congress passes legislation - alstl MU - 9/10 08:30:32
