Vince Marrow is about as insecure a coach as there is in college football.

Troof. I am so glad our coaches have a very small SM footprint. The school needs to be all over SM but the coaches just need a boom post here and there or like what Ekler does.

Yet we landed the #1 TE in the portal lol. He is such a clown coach. Can't get over the fact that he's at a back burner program

Vince Marrow Molests Collies

Is interesting how it's the coaches who have complained the most about NIL and not having the money to keep players who have made the most moves in the portal so far this year...

 

[walkenvol]

Dingle lost his spot at TN so he’s staying at Kensucky lol.

Or, he used the portal as leverage to improve his NIL package at the kitties? Still a win for us!

I have said it before and I will continue to say it. This is an abject mess.

There will be 2 types of programs going forward.
Championship teams that develop their players and cherry pick the portal. Those teams will lose more to the portal than they pick up. And then there will be ole miss and Kentucky

And the teams that build their line-up with the portal will be hoping every December they can rebuild or they will become bottom feeders.

There is no way a 3 star RB that averaged 3.8 YPC asked for half a mil

We need to stop asking if NIL is healthy for college football. You either go all in or not at all. As soon as we allowed paying players, it was to be a free and open market. NIL caps per university is one thing (to maintain competition and not create an oligarchy situation as one could suggest we kind of have currently), but no individual player should be limited in what their monetary value is by anything other than the markets participants and their appetite to pay. It will work itself out that way just as the prices of goods and services does in our economy.

Let’s be honest. This is not about getting your education paid for anymore. It’s about getting paid.

And there are football players that know a degree is not going to vastly change their path in this world. And they know an nfl career is anything but guaranteed. So let them cash in now and see if they can use that to build a future.

I believe the 49ers starting QB Purdy only makes $800k. Crazy what some of these college players are requesting.

 

[walkenvol]

Players can ask whatever they want - it’s up to the folks paying to keep the system in check. Good for FSU to say “sorry - we won’t pay your request.

All well and good…..but I’m looking forward to players losing $$$ mid season because they aren’t performing.
Cut that NIL deal…..straight up release the player from their scholarship.

 

[Bollweevil]

Any chance Addison Nichols returns, and returns with a bad attitude? If you know what I mean.

They aren’t getting that either, I don’t care what some of them claim

 

[lilesrt]

Disappointing. Wish he hadn’t left. Wish he had landed at a better spot since he did. Hope it pans out well for him, and hope we make a fool of him when we play them.

Why leave? Is Arkansas an upgrade over Tennessee?

NIL is destroying College Football... However a few schools seem to have taken it from Bad to Worse -> Oregon, USC, FSU and Miami Fl

 

[Carp]

I think Bisontis can play guard.

I'm sure he can. But I would be surprised if he wanted to.

He'll get offers to start at RT/LT from other schools and that's where the money is long term.

Most people say we are close to the top of that food chain,

He's still gonna be looking for it come August if that's this price, lol.

Their players do like their HC. Go into the portal only to go back to school when no one wants them.

He did, but will not get it.

Reading between the lines, seeing our portal plays play out, along with info and insight from posters like LAVol, among others, it's obvious our strategy is to prioritize the guys we want to retain in our locker room.... Offer them fair market value but not to get in the weeds with guys who are only looking out for themselves.

This is solid strategy IMO, we aren't out there with the head hunters taking volume commits, but we make plays strategically for that guys we need/want through the portal. Others team plays seem desperate and likely to create issues internally with players they already have. I think we are navigating the portal smartly, teams recruiting over their own players in the portal are going to find themselves burning bridges in the high school recruiting circles in short order. Remember, these players talk to each other.
