We need to be tampering harder like some of these other teams

We never will.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

We never will.

Nope and we will fall way behind bc of it.

Don’t think we will fall behind. It’ll be a lot like it is now. Anywhere from 8-10 wins.

The teams better than us will stay better, the teams worse than us will stay below us.

It’s like we’re afraid to take that last step.

I promise you we tamper. Success rate at said tampering isn’t there but we’re at least trying to take that step.

ooof this one’s outta nowhere

I thought we were going to be able to put this thread away for a while. Insane for a playing to be transferring right now.

He’s not transferring right now. He’s transferring in the spring

Texted a friend who’s a team manager, he said a program’s DB coach reached out and offered mid 6 figures, honestly can’t blame him for that much $

Well this sucks.

 

[Go Fight Win]

when i was talking about kids getting close to million dollar offers and people were like "show us the proof"

this is what im talking about. Not even our best cornerback is getting $500-600,000 offer to leave. The market to overspend is there. It's going to devastate the sport.

don't get me wrong i want players to get paid, equitably. Hell, I want us all to get paid!!, The boss man makes too much.

but we have to get some collective bargaining and rules set up around contracts... otherwise this becomes a shtshow

Maybe. Probably have to pony up more cash .

Yeah I was just cranky after my weed coma.

I’m fine now.

Let him go. If a dude is going to time this thing up like this to maximize leverage for himself, just let his rear end go. Otherwise you feed the beast and send a message that this is acceptable behavior. His time to negotiate was months ago, not now that we have a dude with a torn acl. It’s just sick

Wonder which program it is was. He can’t transfer to another SEC school in the spring portal.

This has to come to a stop.

We need contracts. Very hard contracts.

I mean we seen this before. Not necessarily after an injury but with kids asking for more money after agreeing on a number previously. It just happened with Boo. It's College Football.

I would personally try to keep him within reason. McCoy's return date is up in the air and we have no experience behind McMurray who is clearly (imo) a #3 corner at best.

 

[PowerT.]

We have to go into the spring window now looking for a starting corner and a talented wr

Not Ideal

I'm aware. The portal isn't open, which is why I thought we would be able to put this thread away for a while

 

[T2P_Priceless]

They should just take whatever money he wants and maybe more and get a better CB from somewhere else

He obviously has a ton of leverage due to McCoy’s injury. Maybe they should let him burn himself by replacing him if possible

If not possible then they have to pay up

 

[Orangeslice13]

Contracts.
It’s past time for contracts.

Ricky doing this after the McCoy injury is beyond despicable. It’s 100% different than what Boo did. This is a shake down. Let his ass walk and call his bluff. Take the money and go find a different dude

Pay him what is necessary and lets move on. staff didnt pursue anyone in fall porthole, and havent recruited anyone else. this is on them.

Nope..He already accepted a new number after the season. If we come back and give him more after already agreeing to a number, that will just lead to more guys thinking they can pull this ****. He wasn't that great anyway, let his ass bounce.
