The formalising process for recruits known as signing day starting wednesday was followed by the early signing period for college football recruits for the joint cyle of 2025. As new recruit classes are being brought in students have already begun participation in conference championships followed by the selection for the college football playoffs as well as the opening of the transfer portal on 9 December 2025.
It is indisputable that new athletes will always come from the high school ranks despite these changes in the recruiting landscape, and it just so happened that many of the country’s top prospects were in the forefront of the action this past Wednesday.
There is a class and a cycle I tend to observe all year round, and that is the reason why I’ve been keen to year after year, track my scouting position for 247Sports. The teams do have losses, and these days their record does seem to show it. Either way, we have classified teams as winning and losing for today depending on results of today’s events or the last few weeks. Rankings of teams are as they were at 5 PM ET on Wednesday.
National Signing Day 2024 Winners

Team Name- Texas
Class rank No. 1
Do not hold your breath waiting for Texas to slide down as it doesn’t seem possible. The Longhorns and Steve Sarkisian are presently positioned to finalize what would be the highest-ranked recruiting class of the program since 2012, having recently reached the highest rank of 1 with the assistance of a Wednesday influx.
On Tuesday, Texas went to the spatula and managed to reel in four-star cornerback Kade Phillips back into the fold and less than a day later signed utilityman Michael Terry III. Terry – who is something of a younger version of former UT superstar Ja’Tavion Sanders – became the third five-star from Texas joined the class.
Team Name- Oregon
Class rank No. 4
The Ducks made the most noise among all idle players during yesterday, stealing away five star prospect Na’eem Offord a cornerback committed to Ohio State and four star recruit quarterback Jaron Keawe Sagapolutele and also maintained the signing of five star rated wide receiver Dallas Wilson who had had interests from both Florida and Miami late in the game. They were able to get Tobi Haastrup who can be classified as a boom or bust pass rusher. Oregon woke up with pound-for-pound one of the nation’s strongest recruiting classes and did nothing but added to it.
Team Name- Texas A&M
Class rank No. 8

At the last minute, Texas A&M completed its top 10-ranked class by announcing the signing of five-star wide receiver Jerome Myles and five-star offensive tackle Lamont Rogers.
As they stand, the Aggies have 12 players within the Top247 that have signed with them which is quite impressive, however, the real depth of the class can be found a little deeper in the ranking of commits. With that said, Elko and his staff made it a point to seek out and develop low tier recruits that could provide depth as well as offer them a variety of skills. Mission accomplished.
Team Name- Florida
Class rank No. 10
The DJ Lagway effect is a fact, and the example of Florida’s recruiting class jumping from outside the top 50 of the rankings to the edge of the top 10 in a matter of weeks speaks for itself – momentum is important for talent acquisition.
No, Billy Napier & Co. did not manage to grab everyone, but such a day should not be classified as defeat either. Instead, recall that in the same period last year, the Gators fell in the recruiting rankings, and people lost hope for Napier. It is Lagway’s performance at the end of the regular season that relieves the pressure.
Team Name- Georgia Tech
Class rank No. 18
What a year it turned out to be for Brent Key: he managed to beat Florida State in Week 0 and was inches away from sending Georgia packing in an epic eight-overtime brawl at the end of the regular season. On Wednesday, not only did Key put together what is projected to be the most highly-ranked class in program history, he did it while competing with the biggest names in the sport.
After defeating both the Ohio State and Tennessee in the summer months for five-star offensive tackle Josh Petty, the Yellow jackets sealed the deal with prized four-star athlete Dalen Penson after he rebuffed a last minute offer from USC. This came a week after he transferred four-star safety Tae Harris from Clemson, who had just been signed.
Team Name- South Carolina
Class rank No. 20
In the morning, the Gamecocks flipped Zavion Hardy, who is the 1st ranked Junior college player in the country, committing him to South Carolina from Mississippi State. After a bit, they teamed up against USC and Michigan and made off with a late-bloomer, Christian Ingram However, while both Hardy and Ingram will likely not make a Stewart-like impact in 2025, they do raise the already impressive South Carolina class by an additional peg.
South Carolina ended up signing 10 front-seven defenders altogether on Wednesday. With that, the Gamecocks, who have this season tripled the SEC’s second-best team with 40 sacks, should remain spicy on defense!
Team Name- Florida State
Class rank No. 22
There is no denying the credit FSU deserves for quite a remarkable performance from Mike Norvell who went on to win in the end.
There were losses to contend with in the preceding months but Wednesday saw more gains as the seminoles managed to reverse the 4-star running back Kromah Ousmane from Georgia, 3-star wide receiver Jayvan Boggs from UCF and 3-star corner Shamar Anroux from Auburn.
FSU’s class was in the 50s range in November but with Norvell’s efforts, the class made its way to a position at 22 which is quite impressive. There is every chance that the Noles hoist a top 25 position class which is quite a feat for a wretched 2-10 season.
National Signing Day 2024 Losers
Team Name- USC
Class rank No. 13
The figure states that California consistently fuels and produces around 21.4 picks in the NFL draft each and every year which makes it disheartening to find out that only 5 of the recruits signed by the USC class were from California itself.
For the better part of the season, trying to figure out what the Trojans were about to deploy was a challenge. Step one saw the Trojans making two offensive gains of defensive lineman Jahkeem Stewart as well as Defensive back Alex Graham who live thousands of miles away from USC. However, it can also be said that the list of decommits for USC is probably more impressive than the actual nominees signed.
Team Name- Oklahoma
Class rank No. 16
Things could have turned out to be worse for Oklahoma had 5-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi decided to ditch the Sooners for the Texas program at the last moment, but alas that did not take place. Still, for Brent Venables, it was quite an uneventful Wednesday.
Oklahoma also lost the commitments of wide receivers Marcus Harris and Gracen Harris, who had been most active in the week heading to the signing period. The highest ranked receiver in the class, Cortez Mills, eventually decided to sign with Nebraska. While new offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle was able to secure a transfer of three star quarterback Jett Niu on the same day ‘former’ 5 star signee Jackson Arnold transferred, who in the world will he be throwing to in 2025?
Team Name- Clemson
Class rank No. 26
If you have been with us till now, you know the story: Dabo Swinney doesn’t use the transfer portal. He will claim that veteran acquisitions are not necessary. Not when Clemson is a win away from qualifying for the first 12-team playoff, but the roster picture for the Tigers is starting to become very bleak.
Clemson lang daar op woensdag met slechts 15 undertekenares-sygners in vision. Unless, of course, Swinney has a few Deion Sanders tricks up his sleeves, it appears to be reaching our for the Tigers, the worst finish since the inception of the 247sports ranking era and only the second time they finish a class outside the top 25.
Sure, there are some future NFL draftees who will join Clemson but it has to be said that the Tigers lost five of their seven highest-ranked commits in the last stretch. Actually like this, the depth chart for clemson’s roster is going to take a huge hit, which is daft with the developments that we need to win a national championship, teams might have to win 17 games to get to the top.
The internet is burning misogynistic podcast hosts yet again after an episode of The Reality Check Show featuring OnlyFans creator Rebecca Goodwin went viral for making her cry during the recording. The incident has drawn so much anger from people for the show’s hosts appearing to insult and mock Rebecca for their amusement.
What Happened?
A well-known American Creator and businesswoman Rebecca Goodwin was guessed to be a part of The Reality Check show which is a podcast hosted by three virtually unknown men having a history of controversial statements and aggressive interviewing style. This podcast, which has its monetization removed on YouTube, has built a following on the back of inviting female Onlyfans Creators to the show, sometimes under dubious conditions, and interrogating them in the worst possible manner.
Goodwin Heywood journeyed from her home in Reading for approximately 3.5 hours in order to record the show at Croydon’s studio. Later, she told me that the only outfit offered to her was, “something sexy,” and that she did not receive any payment for her time. The interview took a nasty turn when the presenters began talking over her, making mockery, and a slew of dismissive comments. When she finally stepped off the set in a miserable state, the presenters labelled her as “psychotic” for leaving so suddenly.
The Internet Reacts

There was a swift online public outrage when her clips of the podcast were posted on Twitter and TikTok but for a wholly different reason. Numerous netizens expressed their anger towards the hosts of the show mocking Goodwin for her appearance while other users highlighted the fact that it wasn’t the first time that The Reality Check Show had exploited female OnlyFans creators by purposefully editing videos to demonize them.
Helen and I had a productive session of filming examples for the sketch and, to my surprise, I was greeted by one of the most shocking and hateful comments of the interview when the host interfered and drilled Goodwin on her relations. They inquired if she had a boyfriend and if he was supportive of her choices. Would he be angry if she decided to quit? The audience showed their displeasure towards that part of the interview as misogynistic by suggesting that a woman’s career is as one-dimensional as being controlled by her partner’s approval.
“This is a question that is so tiresome and sexist at the same time,” commented a user on Twitter. “Why do men always presume that they have a say on how women use their bodies?”
“What Do You Contribute to Society?”
The hosts were stating that Goodwin does not contribute anything to society and that was shocking in itself. He was contested by a lot of people who pointed out the fact that he’s a tax paying philanthropist.
Goodwin said that she pays more than 200k pounds a year in taxes, has created an affordable housing scheme for low income earners and gives money to charitable organizations frequently.
“But these three men will never do it,” said one of the viewers. “That’s what happens when angry men realize that a wonderful woman is successful and rich on her own terms.”
Double Standards in Sex Work

Goodwin mentioned the incident has resurfaced the conversation of the portrayal of female sex workers in the media. She noted that one of the hosts of Reality Check is also an OnlyFans, but there is no sensationalism or scrutiny of his job.
As one social media user opined: “This is a classic case of double standards. When you do it, it’s a business, but when a woman does it, it’s undignified.”
Goodwin also took care of a strange moment during the interview when one of the female co-hosts went off on a tangent about women in the industry not bothering to shave. She criticized the scrutiny men place regarding women’s grooming, pointing out that the standards of beauty have been set by men for so long.
“Women’s bodies are not here for men’s approval,” Goodwin said. “A woman’s decision to shave or not is none of anyone’s business.”
Rebecca Goodwin’s Response
After this incident, Goodwin went on her social media accounts to tell her story and thank supporters who stood by her. She seemed to be angry about how she had been treated, but made it clear that the situation would not control her.
“I knew these were problematic individuals going in, but I genuinely thought I could reason with them,” she said. “I refuse to be disrespected, so I chose to walk away.”
The Bigger Picture
This controversy regarding The Reality Check Show exposes a larger problem; the persistent misogyny and abuse of women in the online media space. The business model of the show is predicated on the disgraceful treatment of female participants while monetizing their shame.

Goodwin’s decision to walk away, as many have noted, was a bold action. She could have opted to engage in an unsavory conversation, but instead, decided to physically remove herself from the place where she was unwanted.
One TikTok user noted, “She left and still has her dignity. They ‘podcast bros’ remain prancing around like little insecure boys.”
Conclusion
The outrage directed at The Reality Check Show is indicative of a much larger problem: viewers are fed up with seeing misogynistic content paraded around as “debate.” The internet has made their voice heard, and it’s apparent that the real concern is not about Rebecca Goodwin’s career, rather, the men whom she has every right to be upset with for judging her.
Concerning Goodwin, she has already transitioned to bigger and better opportunities, showcasing again that she is not an easy mark.
Rumors regarding the pregnancy of Bonnie Blue, a twenty-five year old content creator from Nottinghamshire, started to circulate after she posted an ambiguous statement on her social media. The social media post on “Tia Bellinger” aka Bonny Blue’s Instagram featured the quote “cravings” where she showed off an interesting food combination of dry noodles, pickles with chocolate sauce, and chicken nuggets.
This plate went viral within a short timeframe raising questions in everyone’s mind regarding if the famous OnlyFans model is going to be a mother.
Is Bonnie Blue Pregnant?
The post immediately started a discussion on the internet wondering if their speculation was true. Many users from the comment section said she hinted at being pregnant. Some third party laughed about the very known subject and Daddy mystery. A person made the remark about “impossible paternity test”. Another had asked, “She’s pregnant, but WHO TO, CHRIS KAMARA?”, who is famously known for being a sports commentator.
Bonnie Blue however remains quiet on the concern and had neither confirmed nor denied the speculation. Currently she seems to be ignoring the situation altogether and hoping not to draw attention from the public, which then would leave many guessing and questioning her.
Who is Bonnie Blue?

Bonnie Blue became notorious in the adult entertainment industry due to her controversial statements and actions. One of her headline-making actions was participating in a record-breaking challenge where she allegedly had sexual relations with 1,057 men in a span of 12 hours. This action single-handedly helped her gain fame as she shattered the previous record of 919 men, which was set by Lisa Sparks in 2004.
Beyond her work in the industry, Blue has been at the center of multiple controversies. Bonnie’s interviews with the media reveal her discussing relationships, fidelity, and personal happenings. She certainly adds spiciness to her statements.
Last year, Bonnie Blue claimed to have intimate relations with 157 university Freshers, which stirred outrage over the ethical implications. While on ‘The Kyle and Jackie O Show’, she had another controversial statement in which she said “all men should cheat on their wives.”
Social Media and Public Reactions
Along with her previous controversies, Blue’s latest rumored pregnancy has sparked conversations around her personal life. Given her previous actions and statements in the media, the reactions to her current rumors have been mixed. While some have openly expressed their curiosity, others remain cynical and overly critical.
Many social media users have wondered if the post was a true pregnancy clue or just an attempt at engagement. Others noted that strange cravings by themselves do not mean that someone might be pregnant.
Still, this is not the first time Blue’s private life has attracted public attention. She has talked about her relationships before, including her ex-husband Oliver Davidson. While the two were in a relationship for a few years, earlier this month, Blue shared how the couple had been separated for quite some time before officially splitting.
Earnings and Career

Bonnie Blue’s profile continues to attract mixed reactions, but they have not interfered with her highly successful career on OnlyFans, where her revenue is said to exceed £600,000 a month. This level of earnings has positioned her as one of the top creators on the platform, granting her the ability to live extravagantly.
Blue has also been clear that all the content she produces is fully consensual. It is claimed that to appear in her videos, participants must prove their identity and consent, though the ethics of the issue remain contentious.
What Happens Next?
Bonnie Blue hasn’t commented on the pregnancy rumors as of now. If she is pregnant or just eating strange snacks is uncertain at this moment. Given her track record of attention-seeking behavior, it would not be surprising if she chooses to address the speculation in her own unique way in the upcoming days.
Only time will tell if fans and critics will get a discernable answer from Bonnie Blue about the speculation regarding her most recent viral post.
Now, one would be astounded to know that a mother, previously criticized for her online career, managed to make an empire out of her life, earning six figures a month. After facing constant judgement due to her online career, she was compelled to move out of her hometown, but now not only has she found success, but security for her future, which is hard to come by.
From Judgment to Triumph
Marie Dee, aged 29 and a mother of two residing in Texas, attracts over $150,000 every month on the popular subscription-based platform, OnlyFans. Although she was received with hate and lefted her community, she has found tremendous success in this adult content industry.
Dee shared her journey on this UK ITV Show, Olivia Attwood: Getting Filthy Rich whose concept pertains the life of people who became financially free from the adult industry. Her story exemplifies strong and fierce determination while also serving as a reminder that harsh criticism does not define the future.
The Rise of a Social Media Sensation

As a new subscriber to OnlyFans, Dee has already surpassed the top 0.03% of earners within just two years of using the platform. Her niche? With over the top subgenre titles like “Marie Dee Office Crush,” which focuses on subtle, everyday tasks from an office setting, Dee’s content seems to truly have it all.
“It’s really just little moments of me in a cute work dress, doing things around the office that, for some reason, men love,” Dee explains. “One video that went viral the other day was me walking down the hallway in heels – they like the sound of the heels.”
Using a more calculated angle with a focus on growth, Dee records as many as 200 videos per day. This ensures that she has material ready for the over 70 social media accounts that she owns. Dee’s massive following of 4 million on TikTok and Instagram alone serves as a marketing funnel, redirecting users to her OnlyFans account.
Success Amidst Controversy
Dee has also had her fair share of controversy. As her business continued to flourish, the stigma surrounding adult content creators has served as a heavy burden, especially in her former town.
Dee shares, ‘I do feel like I can’t live in that town anymore because of the judgment and what I post online, ‘I feel safer living in another town, so I do.’
Despite the harsh comments, Dee remains firm in her stance that the content she is putting out makes sense with her belief systems. ‘I consider myself a wholesome porn star; I’d never sleep with another man, ’she said. ‘I basically just do content with my husband and maybe one or two of my girl friends.’
The fact that she is able to set personal boundaries in the face of building a multimillion-dollar empire speaks to her business and strategic mind.
The Business of Viral Content

Put simply, Dee knows how to use social media to increase her income from OnlyFans. She has figured out the number one rule of content creation, posting bait videos on TikTok and Instagram to draw potential subscribers to her page. Viral moments are capable of bringing in thousands of dollars, and Dee estimates that she could gain 1,000 new subscribers a day with these methods.
Dee’s work ethic is unparalleled. Active on multiple platforms means constantly churning out new material, which is no easy task. With four employees to help support her brand, Dee has been able to turn her phenomenal success on OnlyFans into a business.
Defying the Critics
Starting out as a simple career change for Dee, it has become a full blown empire. Two years into her journey, Dee says proudly, “I have a small dynasty of everything I’ve made these last two years.” The journey of being judged and kicked out of town to being financially independent is extraordinary, to say the least.
The most exciting part about using OnlyFans for Dee, is not only being able to achieve success, but also break social constructs and rules that define success. What sets Dee apart in the adult entertainment industry is her ability to integrate integrity and smart business in the industry filled with chaos.
A Lesson in Resilience
Dee’s journey is a step by step guide on how adversity can be transformed into an opportunity. Even with the relocation and judgement that she faced, Dee was able to grow and scale a business. Contrary to popular belief, success is served on a platter to those who are not afraid of what others think.
Her story goes on to prove that no matter what the odds are, with self-determination and a little bit of planning, one can turn even the harshest circumstances into triumphant stories.
