And that’s the big change now and it affects everyone - recruits, transfers and guys on the roster. It makes it so much more difficult for mid tier and below programs. The big spenders even have a larger margin for error now.
I'm gonna sound like a jerk here, and I accept that, but this question is completely irrelevant.
good points
A lot of these kids are supporting their parents, grandparents and siblings.
For some, this might be the high point of them earning money as football players. Take advantage. I can't hate...
I really like Bailey. He will be making some big time plays this fall.
Ha. He certainly appears to have that kind of talent to me as well. That dude is under rated. But I think we have some other potential on the roster already with some more experience that will play ahead of him because they better know what’s going in with the position mentally. Maybe if Perry was an early enrollee he would have a decent chance for a lot of snaps from the get go. But I could see him getting major snaps later in the year or if an injury or two occurs. I also wouldn’t be surprised at all to to see him start at DE in 2024 playing the bigger DE spot that Okechuwu holds now.
I do as well. Sparrow too.
what we bring in compared to what goes out isn’t even close. i mean not even in the same league close. We’re losing multiple year all league players for guys who literally haven’t played a snap of cfb yet and someone who was cut from Bama and looks to be dead from injuries. There is no sunshine in this for us.
How about we let the new guys play a game or two before you step all over them?
It’s definitely a factor for the proven starters, but there are few of those in the portal right now. The starters in the portal right now are getting 20-30 offers day one. The second/third string promising guys are even getting 10-20 offers and there is little NIL involved with the majority of these players. Just opportunities.
No one will disagree with that but in regards to JT, NIL is a factor.
Nah, world is ending, team sucks, school sucks and football sucks. I’m going to root for Ithaca
You should root for Ithaca anyway.
You think LAX is immune from poaching and "NIL"? All you need is a big pocket booster at a private school who's willing to offset tuition that the partial scholarship doesn't cover and that would be enough for some.
My concern is that if the NCAA is going to attempt to make an example out of a program around NIL, it is going to be a private university they go after not a state school. State schools tend to have much more pull with their congressional representatives thus have the NCAA attempt to drop the hammer on one of them and the NCAA will be in front of congress answering questions
Considering we already lost Duce, Jahad and Linton I don't think that's possible. If we lose Marlowe we should fold the program for the year.
I go into every year thinking NATTY OR BUST!!!!. Needless to say I usually bust pretty fast.
