'24 MO DL Williams Nwaneri (Mizzou commit)

Guessing the Mizzou NLI contract would bind the recruit to attend Mizzou in some manner to prevent the recruit from signing elsewhere in January. If not, they are just throwing the $$$ away.

However, similar things have happened in the past. Who was the Oklahoma RB who took the Z28 from A&M and then went to OU later?
 
According to On3 Director of Recruiting Chad Simmons, Tennessee has faded late in Nwaneri’s recruitment while Missouri, Georgia and Oklahoma have all picked up steam. He also visited Oregon in late July.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $364,000. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

I thought a week go or something On3 was saying we’re picking up momentum?
 
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.
You’re describing most of middle and South Georgia

You mean NIL contract?

They don’t get it until they sign with school. I’m sure if they backed out of their national letter of intent then it would void their NIL deal.
 
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.
It wouldn't help in most cases because we recruit nationally, and we got every in-state guy we wanted except Jefferson, iirc. And I don't think it would have mattered in AJ's decision. Plus, Sabey, like Kirby, can throw an old fashioned bag with impunity whenever they feel like it.

Its been reported that Missouri HS players can begin getting NIL payments on Sep 1 if they sign a financial aid agreement with an in-state school. The Financial Aid Agreement would bind Mizzou to the recruit, but the recruit could still sign elsewhere in December. The recruit can't actually sign the NLI until December so that's over 2 month they can receive $$$ before officially signing.

What I was saying was that before the recruit receives any NIL money on Sep 1, he would obviously sign an NIL contract with a Missouri Collective. If this contract DOES NOT bind him to attend Mizzou (simular to how Nico's NIL binds him to TN for 3 or 4 years), then the Missouri collective is throwing away the $$$.

I didn’t read that about financial aid being signed. Can you link it? Everything I’ve seen about their new law says they have to sign with the school and then can start getting paid.

I believe it was posted in this thread or the Main Recruiting Thread, I'm sure someone else can find and post it quicker than I can.

EDIT: It is post 1865 in this thread 1 page back

You may be thinking of Eric Dickerson. He signed and played at SMU (not OU) after accepting the car from A&M.
 
This was the next tweet about it:



So yes it can be written into the contract

That's interesting. IIRC, the NCAA NIL rules specifically state that you can NOT condition the payments on attending a particular school. Most contracts would bind the recruit to attend events in a particular area near the school to make it hard for them to attend elsewhere and still complete the requirements of their NIL contract.

The state NIL laws are like the wild west now.

I strongly suspect that Mizzou passed a bill deliberately intended to be raise a stink, trigger some sort of (over) reaction at the national level, and trick fans of other teams like ours into supporting regulation against our interests.

I don’t want to hear Missouri coach whining about anything about NIL, he is full of bull hockey! GBO!
 
I always hold out hope right up until the gut punch. But this guy isn’t coming here. The guys at VQ (who have been wrong pretty much all cycle) are the only ones even talking about us…we’re out. But watching sjt18 fail to convince people that Missouri isn’t a garbage disposal of a state has been entertaining.
