'24 MO DL Williams Nwaneri (Mizzou commit)

[GroverCleveland]

What are you gonna defend the shithole known as Arkansas next

Well, Arkansas doesn’t have Memphis.

Crime. Sex trade. Run down housing.

That's not true "everywhere" but there are elements of it anywhere you have army bases. Fayetteville was particularly like that. Columbus, GA was like that too when I was there.

Sort of goes back to the origin of the label "hooker". During the Civil War one of the Union's main generals was Joe Hooker. When his army moved there was a train of prostitutes and other "entertainers" that followed them. Alcohol and drugs were sold. The prostitutes began to be called Hooker's Brigade. All armies had something like that. Hooker appears to have encouraged and rewarded it.

This general is the reason why working girls are called Hookers | We Are The Mighty

It is not necessarily the servicemen. It is often the sleazeball business owners who set up to take advantage of impressionable, young men and women.

You are correct and I'm positive Sgt18 wasn't blaming service members. Jacksonville,N.C. was a prime example of predator business when I was there in the 70s, doubt it has changed

What?!? All the tattoo parlors, vape shops, pawn shops, used car lots, and paycheck loan guys are solid businesses.

They have West Memphis….

Oh and F Arkansas!

Extremely short sighted if he goes to Missouri. His exposure and thus NIL earning power is going to be somewhat capped there. Of course I want him to come to Tennessee but Oklahoma makes sense, Georgia makes sense (vomit). Missouri though just a dumb idea unless he’s going to transfer after a year or so.

He will not finish his career at Mizzou.

That is precisely right. I think it may be a little better now but back when low paid soldiers needed low cost entertainment... which paid poorly and perpetuated an economy directed at that.

I can attest to the fact that Columbus, GA and Fayetteville, NC were exactly as you described. Fayetteville as late as 2005. I have not been to Columbus since the late 80s but I imagine it has not changed very much.

 

[Glitch]

Every other state but the one I live in is a dump.

Every other school but the one I root for is cheating.

Every other coach but mine (unless he gone) is worse than Hitler.

Am I doing it right?

Columbus is a culmination of pine trees/ rattlesnakes and low level gang activity. I work for a car manufacturer and two of the locals tried to carjack one of our owners last month. The guy was a Ranger and to his credit held them until the cops showed up instead of dispatching them.

Sorry but you couldn’t pay enough money to play for one of the bottom feeders in the SEC.

Just an absolute terrible decision.

 

[BlinghamptonVol]

So, how does he get paid this fall if this doesn't go into effectvuntil he signs?

So, Nwaneri should definitely commit to Mizzou, sign the financial aid paperwork and get paid from Sept 1 - Dec, then sign his NLI to his real school of choice with a few Benjamins in his pocket. He'd be dumb not to, right?

 

[UTK]

Have you ever been to northwest Arkansas? I can't defend the whole state. I haven't been there much. But the that area looks A LOT like much of east TN.

Every state has its good points. Every state has nice areas and great people. If you really don't know that... then you need to travel and fix that ignorance.

Yeah I’ve been to Northwest Arkansas a few times. Had a girl from there at one point. And bro you’re taking this too seriously.

I admire his restraint.

Rangers lead the way!

 

[TheMookieMonster]

If anything, it sounds like Tennessee needs to adopt this rule. I hate the Wild West we are in now with this crap, but do what you have to do to give yourself every advantage. Maybe if we had a similar provision in state law, it would keep more in-state recruits home.

 

[UT = Checkmate]

Just saw this:

He’s going to misery…close thread. He just randomly decided to commit 2 weeks before this Sept.1 deadline. Giving himself time to get all paperwork in. He’s about to get paid. Hell if he was my son, he’d be locked in until signing day, then make another business decision.

 

[cncchris33]

Just saw this:

Wow...so like I said originally then, such a dumb law. It literally secures nothing for the home-state school. He can sign a financial aid agreement with 10 schools, collect in Missouri until signing day, and then sign and enroll in January at any school he wants to after that. Unless I'm missing something, that seems naive and foolish by Missouri lawmakers.

Doesn't technically even have to commit.

I am?

If you don't want to look ignorant then don't say ignorant things.
