'25 FL WR Jaime Ffrench

[BbwVol]

Welp this one is over for us unless something changes late in the year. Crazy to see that Texas money in action.

He wants a Lambo….

Has our QB room been involved with him a lot on social media LATELY?

 

[LittleVol]

No problem with him going to Texas for his Lambo. These are the times.
Texas just had a 1st and 2nd round WR drafted.

Signed 5 star Wingo
5 star Cook the year before
Probably Ffrench too.

Would I take these 3 over
- Radarius Jackson
- Mike Matthews
- Chris Brazzell?

Absolutely not. The only WR that showed Tennessee interest that was a true “miss” was Ryan Williams out of Saarland, AL. And hell he reclassified the last minute.

Cook, Wingo, Frrench- we have guys that can do what they can do.

And like I said before we’ve already got Jackson. We need one more, and I’m sure it will be a playmaker. Heupel always gets someone optimal at WR

Yeah. If a car is what you are after then go where you can get your car. I would have loved to have a car like that in college too, but I am not nearly talented enough at anything that would warrant me getting one. Some of these kids are talented enough that it doesn't really matter where they go to school, they will be playing on Sunday at some point and making the really big money. However, there are a lot of these kids that need good coaching and a good environment to help get them there. I hope this young man gets everything he wants in life.

I’m curious what a pro scout thinks of this decision strategy. It’s all about what I’m getting rather than how/where can I become a better player/teammate. I suspect they just look over it as immaturity, but it would give me reason to pause. If another player had better motivational components I’d look that way personally.

I suppose the Dodge Charger wasn't enough.

 

[butchna]

Maybe he doesn't like the way the depth chart is stacking up and/or maybe our collective doesn't feel like his value is as high as others.

Or we just missed out…happens.

This is the type of kid who ends up transferring to three different schools looking for a money deal.

He won’t finish his career at Texas.

Been saying it for a while now. We aren't going to pay what it takes to land a guy like Ffrench who's going for the highest bidder. We've got incredible young talent on the roster already and two bigtime instate commits we've not had to invest heavily in. It wouldn't make sense from a resource allocation perspective OR from a locker room perspective to do so.

IMO Smith is gettable from the NIL sense because UGA won't pay him anything. So that will come down to him being willing to take less to go there or some money to come here. DJ Miller, IMO, is the most likely WR on the board right now. I also wouldn't be shocked if they decide to stay at 2 for the preseason and see how the season plays out.

Georgia has a collective don’t let their fans fool you trust me they are paying high schoolers, maybe not top dollar but they are still paying

This is the type of kid who ends up transferring to three different schools looking for a money deal.

This ends up being a win/win for a school like UT and recruit like Ffrench.

Ffrench can get paid as a highly-touted WR prospect from a school which overpays on the open market. A school like UT, which wisely allocates their money similar to NFL franchises, can get a cheaper prospect without a noticeable drop-off in production. With transfer rules the way they are, Ffrench has the option later on to chase bigger NIL deals, transfer to winning teams, or go to a place he might feel can climb his draft stock while UT retains to the option to overpay or present as the best program to improve draft stock for a college-proven Ffrench if they get desperate for a WR.

A lot of these recruiting battles, whether football, basketball, or baseball, are planting the seeds for down the road options.

I love this guy

So we arent offering enough bread? Looks like we are toast.

I’m with you, on the outside they want to sell the “earn it once you get here” mantra but they are definitely still in the game.

The next evolution of NIL collectives and the battles that await: 'This is a big inflection point'

The NCAA’s landmark settlement has been billed by some as a move to bring stability to an unruly recruiting landscape. While offering solutions for some problems, the new model creates others.

You don’t pay this much without paying some freshmen.

The collective, believed to be one of the more well-paying, distributes to Georgia athletes — mostly football players — more than $1 million. Per month.

To be clear I'm not saying they don't pay a dime. But they're not paying what we pay.
