'24 MO WR Ryan Wingo (Texas commit)

[Jackcrevol]

I mean what else can you do but laugh at this point.

what's funny?

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

I am a Mizzou fan and am only responding to try to clarify some of the questions about the new Missouri NIL law. Yes, it is theoretically possible for an incoming HS senior someone to sign attendance papers in September, collect money, and then sign an LOI with a different school in December. It may even happen at some point, though IMO, it's not very likely. It is also true that the law says the NIL can't be contingent on someone participating in athletics, though it can be contingent on attendin classes. The prevailing thought is that companies offering NIL will have more than one option to mostly protect themselves. Most likely, a limited amount of money will be paid before the LOI is signed. For example, if a kid was being offered $100,000, he might only receive $2,500 (or some other amount) before the LOI is signed. I doubt if anyone will be paying big amounts. There were multiple legal people working on the wording of this law so I assume that the Ts have been crossed and the Is have been dotted.

Also, as several have stated, this only applies to Missouri residents. Missouri has no control over residents of other states. So the advantage if only for those in the home state. I assume other states will be passing similar laws for their own student-athletes. Barring, federal intervention, possible but not likely IMO, every school whose state has a similar law will have a big advantage in keeping their own state's recruits home.

As far as Ryan Wingo, there have been rumors that he might move up his scheduled December 20th commitment date, though they have not been confirmed by the family, so it's anyone's guess. They may be waiting to see what doing so earlier would mean financially IF he thinks uphe wants to commit to Mizzou. If not, obviously there will probably be no reason for him to move it up. Peace and out.

You are out of your mind if you think that a five star receiver would be ok only receiving $2500 even before the NIL is signed. Kids get that on visits let alone to sign with a school.

Exactly. Hopefully we get Mikell

Same.

Not really worried about a WR honestly but it’s always nice to add a five star on paper. As far as our board I feel the staff probably favored Jefferson over Wingo but wanted both. Mikell isnt a real step down imo either. This offense will make whatever wr is on the field be open and put up video game numbers.

If wingo does choose mizz, I wonder who is left on the wr board besides Mikell. I feel getting 3 hs wr will a good number and add in a transfer. 2 wr in this class doesnt feel like enough for the amount of wr we have leaving after this season

 

[Priddler]

Why not collect 4 to 5 months of free money and then switch commitments at the last minute? We all knew that one girl in High School who would wait and break up with her boyfriend immediately after Christmas or Valentines Day and keep the gifts. If Missouri wants to light a pile of money on fire, let em

The integrity is strong with this one.

what's funny?

That we may lose Wingo to Missouri

That we may lose Wingo to Missouri

I mean, I guess that's funny?

 

[BigBadVol]

Read my post in the WN thread. It’s about the money. Can’t blame them.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I mean, I guess that's funny?

To me it is.

 

[LowKey]

That we may lose Wingo to Missouri

Just doesn't seem right.

 

[VolinMichigan]

I look forward to re-recruiting these guys after Missouri fires their entire coaching staff at the end of this season.

I really think it’s not a must bc of just how desirable we are as a portal location for the position. It would definitely be nice though

You are out of your mind if you think that a five star receiver would be ok only receiving $2500 even befpohe ohre the NIL is signed. Kids get that on visits let alone to sign with a school.

You might want to read what I said again. I clearly stated this was simply an example and in no way was saying what a specific amount would be. Also, it wouldn't be $2,500, it would be $10,000 because the recruit would be drawing it for four months. But again, this was an example. The point remains, that whatever the total amount is, the bulk of it won't be paid until the LOI is signed. There are other ways to make it difficult for someone to renege and go to a different school. For example, requiring personal appearances is legal within the NIL rules. So theoretically, a recruit could be required to appear somewhere in Columbia, MO once per month, twice per month, or whatever. That would be a both a bit awkward and difficult for a player from another school. Also, as I said, at some point there may well be someone who does it, it's also safe to say it won't be a good look for the recruit and will be rare.

Your last draft wr was last drafted in. . . 2018

 

[swchandler1988]

What’s funny is if they get Wingo, they’ll still be 44th. Only trailing Vandy by 6 spots!

 

[VolFreakJosh]

To me it is.

How’s it funny whenever they’re double digits spots behind us in recruiting?

Are you this naive?

 

[vavolfan6]

That might actually attract them to want to stay committed at Mizzou. They are only there to cash in early.

 

[OrangeTsar]

I’m just saying, write stupid laws, get stupid results.

 

[vavolfan6]

As much as I'd like another 5 star receiver, it is their loss for passing up the opportunity to be a receiver in Josh Huepel's offense and having a 5* QB in Nico throwing them the ball. Did Luther Burden really look happy last season? Does that situation really attract you? It seems more like Mizzou's staff had to intentionally try to force him touches to keep him happy enough so they could convince him to stay for another year.

Also, It should probably also concern you that Mizzou's top receiver left the program for another SEC school to hopefully boost their draft stock. If the best case senario is that you play well enough to just transfer to another school....than you should probably just play for those top schools from the start. You will be fortunate to get another opportunity.

Lol did you even have to ask that last question?

 

[Fingers]

We've been talking about Missouri's rise with five-star receiver Ryan Wingo, and the Tigers have certainly been on the move. And while I've said I find myself close to predicting Missouri there because of the momentum they've gained, when you talk to sources around the family and around Texas, it should be reiterated the Longhorns are in great position and so is Tennessee. So while Wingo may be closing in on a decision, those are three programs that still have a great chance to land the St. Louis (Mo.) University standout.

Peace and out.

Tiger, Missouri's law clearly gives a favored right to a HS S-A who sign with an instate school while denying that right to a HS S-A who signs with an outstate school. Under equal protection NO state can deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. It mandates that individuals in similar situations e.g. HS S-A , must be treated equally by the law and under Missouri's law they aren't. NIL is interstate commerce and isn't constrained within Missouri's borders or any state's, Missouri can either allow or deny to all HS S-A the ability to pursue NIL agreements but they can't give the right to one group while denying another group.

according to Mizzou's mod Wingo is going to announce between Texas and Missouri next week. Lets hope that is false as Uncle Austin had us as the leaders last week. I know that NIL Law has become a problem though

Not sure how that fits into his plans to announce in December but if it’s the word on the street…
