'20 TX RB Zachary Evans

[m1al]

Yep he's not asking ro dominate the ball and doesn't want to be ran in the ground.

I believe he would have a better supporting cast of RBs here to share the load and take possible pressure off of him to be "the man"...

Trolling

What?! If Zach Evans is a projected first-rounder that is news to me. Why pay that much for a RB that doesn't want a heavy workload? He'd fit in fine at Bama but why would they pay when they prob have someone better?

I think I’m going to make that trip next season. Pittsburgh is a surprisingly cool city.

You cannot be serious

This^
There’s money here, we know because Pruitt was paying players well.
They are just behind in figuring out how to put that money into NIL deals. But they need to fast!

Prior to NIL, $100K was huge under the table money for a recruit. With NIL multiply by 10.

It's a game changer. The rich will get richer. It's the wild, wild, west. I expect it to settle down in a couple of years. Situations like Ewers at OSU will happen more frequently and people/donors won't want to risk that kind of money for unproven players. I expect rather than upfront money, it will be installments based on participation. Lots of details to be worked out.

And is pushing NIL deals? Why do teams even want him? He's not a 1st rounder here

What in the hell are you talking about? No Rb wants their bodies beat up by an excessive amount of carries in college. Most top recruits ask about NIL deals. As far as a being a 1st rd guy he very well could be if he continues on the path he's on now he's projected with a 1st or 3rdd rd pick now. Everyone in UGA Rb room has a NIL and they all share carries and will do well in the NFL.

did Ole Miss just show him film of Ealy and tell him he could be Beast-Ealy but doesn't have to be their everything?

Do they lead with saying they don't want excessive carries and then demand big $? Sounds like a manager asking for a salary raise and then saying he only wants 20 hours per week. More power to him if he can do that but sounds like something only a desperate team would do.

if he already has half a dozen or more NIL deals at TCU and is used to checks coming in, why wouldn't he ask what the NIL deal(s) would look like in Knoxville?

do you think all 4 and 5 star recruits come to programs like this?

 

[BigOrangeVols]

If this man is getting 7 digits he better run that damn ball as many times as we need him to

Have you been there? Cool downtown, great sports stadiums, good foodie places…what do you have against Pittsburg? It’s basically a better Chattanooga, which is, admittedly, overrated.

Everyone knows what Zach is and they know his potential. They're just showing him what they have to offer and how what his skillset and wants fits that. Wherever he decides will get a top tier Rb who is a game breaker

he's asking questions that any RB planning on going pro and aiming for longevity in their career would ask. he's asking questions that anyone making money would ask before taking another role at a new org.

the average RB is lucky to last 2 years in the NFL. that means one contract, probably not even a good one.

even when they make it to the 2nd contract, hopefully a multi-year multi-million, they still have to 27 to basically make their money and their mark before their body breaks down.

these are facts. he's making a measured decision. give him a break.

There's a difference between "I Will Give My All For Tennessee" and "I Will Give Everything Away To Play Here"

I'm willing to Venmo you $5 right now to secure his commitment. I'll give you time to think it over but just know that my offer expires at 5pm Eastern today.

Back in my day kids wore the Power T with pride and would give their all for their University and a chance to make it to the next level.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

College football has already been about the same 3-4 teams for a while now. NIL didn’t change that. You just don’t like kids making money.

Before that, you just had a feeling you were outbid by another school. Now it's right in your face that your school is broke lmao

I understand that, and it's very honorable and romantic, but college football is different now. Those players didn't know what players know today about health and career longevity either.

And unless your day is older than 50 years ago, chances are that those guys were getting benefits as well and knew their worth.

That is the reason it is time to push this thing out into a farm league and let the NFL finance it.

[Nashvegas31]

Lebby should take Oklahoma job. He needs to get out from underneath shadows and prove to world his impact. He has been underneath prolific offensive minds at each stops besides his year at NAIA after the Baylor scandal. Art and Kendal, Frost, Heupel and now Kiffin. He wont be able to get everyone’s buy in on his impact at those stops until he shows what he can do with no overhead
