Yep. Missouri will still be Missouri and Drinkwitz will still be Drinkwitz. No matter how much lipstick they put on that pig it’s still a damn pig.

He just needs to be asked his thoughts on Dorial Green-Beckham and when he responds with a "Who?", you've got your hook.

 

[volsfan24017]

Just ask him if he wants to score 70 or have 70 hung on him. Ball game!

Wasn’t that self-induced issues by DGB that led to him being kicked off the team? We could use Luther having 45 rec but only averaging 8 ypr.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Good throw, good catch and good coverage except he didn't get his head around.

DB looked like #18, who would be Ricky Gibson.

Mizzou just got a crystal ball. Everyone said not to worry about losing Jefferson because we’re getting Wingo. If not, we don’t have enough receivers and will have to hope we get them in the portal. Matthews and Staley are nice, but they are 2 of our top 4 next year. Need more.

I was one who said that. Hopefully I am not wrong. But if we lose both Nwaneri and Wingo due to NIL to Missouri then that just shows we have a very weak NIL setup.

Would also mean that UGA and OU and Oregon lost Nwaneri to Mizzou. And Texas and UGA and Miami lost Wingo to Mizzou.

Guess Mizzou just has the best NIL setup in the nation?
Or could it be that there are other explanations?

 

[BigorangeBoy]

RC says he thinks the NIL in MO is overblown, if a kid signs and is an EE he’d literally get $$ 30 days sooner than he would elsewhere.

If I had to guess…. Mizzou is willing to over spend for these two players but it wouldn’t work if they weren’t local guys. It was reported that they took that approach to get Luther.

Theyll be paying these guys to attend another school is what's going to happen. I will be 150,000% shocked if either of these dudes makes it to Misery for even 1 day. If they dot they dont last a year before Dorkwitz' sandpaper charm wears off.

Thought the same about Luther…. Shocked he stayed another year.

Hope you're right that would mean the true freshman was in good position.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

The fraility of false hope on this board cannot be underestimated. Wingo may very well sign here. I sure hope he does but post visit interviews are not going to tell us where he winds up.

I’m sure glad we have you on here to tell us how to go about following recruiting. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t know that we shouldn’t care about Tennessee kids, or to not put much stock in post visit interviews. Where would we be without you?!

I tried to illustrate that very idea in the Nwaneri thread. Best case scenario is that it is 6 months, and that is only if all the following apply: you play football, you sign in December with an instate school to play football, you aren't an early enrollee, and you want to maintain eligibility for any winter or spring sports (basketball, wrestling, baseball, track, etc.).

Of kids that would realistically be benefitting from any sort of substantial NIL offerings, few are going to fit those exact parameters.

Kids in TN can get NIL in high school. So it’s legal to give NIL money before they enroll here. If they have the law in Mizzu why can’t a company from TN pay them when they live there.
Even if they try to say anything about it. Start paying them the day after their last high school game. The only thing they could do is declare them ineligible. When the season is over why would they care.

Don’t care about other programs. I am sure there are other explanations. That’s why I said IF. It my stance holds. If we lose both guys to Missouri (I don’t think that happens), and we hear it was because of NIL then that’s pathetic. Missouri should be able to drop a bigger bag than us. If you feel differently then that’s cool.

I am betting they are going to wait till LATE in the cycle. No use getting involved in a PROTRACTED NIL bidding war. Continue the dancing and Calculate your best and final number and throw it out there on signing day eve if it is realistic

He’ll also be on the wrong side of an asskicking on the football field sooner as well.

You don’t have to care about other programs NIL to look at the situation objectively. If Mizzou wins out bc of NIL (another program btw that we are having a discussion about in direct conflict of your stance on not caring about other programs NIL) then they will have won out vs many other teams besides just UT.

Wouldn’t that tell you something about the situation?

I'm here to help. Instead of:

"Recruit talks about his latest visit"

"Oh man, Vol lock."

Recruit commits to another school...

"WTF?!?! Staff can't close!"
