Yea but Jesse was just a bad break with what happened to Huggins. It’s not going to effect his draft stock or his overseas earnings. Duce potentially made a life altering decision. No matter how he performed at LSU, he had enough good tape and accolades at SU, where it was almost a given he would declare, and most likely get drafted after this season (Assuming he matched Fr/So performance).
I would like to know how much he actually got. I just don’t see even places like LSU handing over 6 figures to a potential db starter. I’m just guessing, but i would think the Syracuse collective could have paid him $30-40k. Maybe LSU gave $80k? I can be totally off the radar on my assumptions, but if the difference in NIL was something even close to that then it would only amplify the interesting decision making.
