Jesse Edwards in portal and transfers to WVU

[RF2044]

We met his demands, twice.

He was a b team IMG guy that most of this place didn’t want that SU took a chance in.

Honestly him and his dad and their bs. Let him enjoy his fat sweaty drunk coach next year for his price.

To channel Steve Harvey, now you know the rest of the story.

This is a fine example of the bizarre state of college athletics. Schools can't pay athletes directly, NIL money can't be used for recruiting, and yet there are bidding wars for players to switch schools, not because of their NIL value, rather due to their athletic value to their new team.

It can be spun multiple ways, but players are being paid to attend and play for a specific school. NIL money isn’t separate from pay for play except on paper. Pardon me if I continue to be baffled by attempts to have this make sense. We've gone from one bad system to another.

Hey he’s not that sweaty.

Yeah i mean he does ride with the windows down in truck...

Here Kansas 1988 and 2022 for Kansas there you go

Kansas wasn't put on probation last year. They suspended Self for four non-conference games.

Won’t pay a middle of the road player that money no less. That’s insane money to get Jesse, much less get him for only a year.

30 years…not to be a pedant

You hang from a chain worn around the neck? You know there is a portion in this thread that will think that's what you meant.

Imagine if we paid like that to get say..John Gillon.

Been out today, and so far only on page 114, but before I read this novel, I want to point out that I sort of "defended" Jesse or tried to point out how much we really did not know. Well, no more. This was just a horrible thing that he did throwing SU under the bus the way he did. Immature, wrong, and I am no longer a Jesse fan, SU alum or not. Fine with him leaving for the $$$, but keep it classy, please.

I liked your earlier post, and I also gave this one a like.

A guy named Paul Harvey used to do that kind of show, too...

I hate everything

If SU slips to middle of the road status because we won’t pay a player $800 grand, I’m okay with it. Just saying.

Continued slippage leads to bottom of the barrel, we've already been stuck in the middle of the road. I know we can be better, but the collective has to learn to compete under the new "rule$" or SU becomes the junior varsity.

Yes, yes, let the hate flow through you!

the willfully ignorant devil's-advocate crapola on display by some folks here (some from usual suspects some from promising new shtposters) is... something

Pretty sure you meant Paul Harvey.

Do you know exactly what the collective(s) have or have not done? Do you believe they have infinite resources so as to never be outbid ever? I’ll assume the answer to both of those questions is ‘no.’

Did they not offer $400K and refuse to go higher?

 

[Cuse Action]

Well we can’t expect a 22 year old, college graduate not to follow Daddy’s demands now can we? Jesse is practically a baby.

How do you know what really happened? You don't know but somehow you feel compelled to cast dispersions when you are clearly guessing about their relationship.

 

[OrangeDW]

Is Jesse Edwards a “break the bank at all costs player”?

It’s hard for us to know what the cutoff should be and what the plans are.

 

[shandeezy7]

Yup. Do you know the reason(s) why and how that could have been remedied?

I can almost guess which posters are “SU Twitter” material….
