Jesse Edwards in portal and transfers to WVU

[81South]

The new world of college athletics…isn’t it just wonderful?!

AW was out of the picture long before a few weeks ago as many here have said. But sure you could
make up a thousand scenarios if all you want to do is root for Wildhack to be the bad guy as your next statement says.

I don't want to root for anyone to be the bad guy, but if Cuse can't keep up with Joneses, then who should you blame.

A lot of things transpired in the last 24-48 hours. How can Jesse be to blame if someone offered him double, triple or quadruple what another does.

We have no idea what the dollar amount is. But if the difference is a couple hundred thousand, most kids are going to skate. No different than many people on this message board if they were offered double or triple their current salary.

I get that but I’ve never thought of a colleague or boss in the same way I’ve revered a teammate I’ve battled with. I’m sure there’s lots of blame to go around here but as I’ve said, we likely won’t know full story. Maybe the rest of the guys in the locker room aren’t upset with Jesse and they get it. that’s really who should judge.

I would imagine they definitely understand, because I would expect that any of them would do the same if they could demand $600-700 thousand (educated guess). Who knows, maybe a miracle happens and we can come up with enough to keep him.

Bingo. Jesse is a grown adult and should tell his pops to pound sand if he doesn’t want to leave SU. I’d hope I raised my kids to do just that if I was being an overbearing stage Dad.

We don’t know his relationship, over bearing parents can have a lot of control over their kids, even as they get older

Yup. I see it just like the pros. Everyone should be happy for those cashing checks. Next thing you know that the college kids will be forming players associations. They're not stupid.

 

[jdubs30]

Not sure why people at mad at Jesse. He’s doing what anyone would do.

He gave us a chance to match, and we couldn’t. I’m sure all things equal he would have rather stayed here.

Whoa, why are we calling his father overbearing?

 

[Willy75]

Amen

You do have to admit though that it’s 70 plus pages of using NIL interchangeably with pay for play. If there was any lingering doubt that the two are the same it ought to be gone now.

 

[Cuse181]

He might not be, and he’s free to defend himself if he so chooses

 

[orangefog]

I have been proactive and I have gone door-to-door asking for donations for NIL. I've asked for $5 for every page of this thread. People underestimate the H0T Takes on the board. I am confident we'll be able to land any player we want within a few days.

 

[orangefog]

That isn't fair, his dad isn't coming on this board, nor should he.

 

[Cuse181]

That’s unfortunate, I guess I’m left to decide whether I believe the insiders or not

And the thing is that as bad as it stinks, and as much as the coaches hate it, the ncaa is pretty much hands off and most people have accepted that the players deserve whatever they can get.

You can chose to believe what you want, but questioning someone's parenting publicly is a pretty crappy thing to do, particularly with no evidence. We can be better than that, can't we?

 

[Cuse181]

Again, defaulting to the insiders in the absence of evidence to the contrary

When my mom was 85 years old and I was 50, she was still giving me advice. Some call it parenting. The good ones are always looking out for their kids.

 

[chuck]

If all this nonsense happened under boeheim you'd all be calling for him to be castrated lmao.

Hearsay is not evidence on behalf of the insiders, and I don't believe they would support calling out Jesse's dad in this way.

In their defense, plenty of people are chitting on red

They’re also free to call me out

Yes but JB most likely had the ability to pull more strings to get something done. This was out of Reds wheelhouse

Why not just take away the blue pills?

 

[OrangeCrush22]

Red was a bad hire. The University has no clear leadership.

 

[orangefog]

They’re also free to call me out

You are also free to not be an ahole.
