Well, recently Clem$on (which had to be a record in this day and age) retained 3 junior DL, all projected to go in the first round.

How the **** do you do that if your not VERY well taken care of beyond your Lloyds of London / Sunlife of Canada policy?

He played a good game against Michigan. After seeing our guys and then seeing the Michigan and Bama players up close yesterday on the field at the Citrus Bowl. We have a lot of work to do. Michigan was able to match Bama's physicality but not playmakers. Evan Neal is a large human being as is Leatherwood.

Go Canes

Nah kid got bagged......his slot could be from 10-20. Isn't every slot capped differently on rookie contracts? Bama can outbid that range

Bosa held out and said he can make more at OSU. These kids stay cause they want to make money not win.

There is an underground financial network going on here. There has to be a some sort of hedge fund that these schools are tapping into.
I know people say that that will be too much of a paper trail. But there is. O other way this o s happening. Not even an agent is risking that much money for a player to stay one more year when they can get 10 percent of a first round contract ina few months. No one is carrying millions of dollars in cash and dropping it off to these families. This reeks of Wall Street money or off shore banking money. This is beyond obvious this point. But then again it’s been beyond obvious yet dudes in here still getting into arguments about bags not being real or not the “main reason” we don’t get or keep kids.
Getting a ring at bama will do nothing to a projected first rounder. Too much risk for a status quo on the reward one year from now.

Top of the first round is 35 million over 4, bottom is 12 mill over 4. Easy to see why he came back if he gets closer to top 5.

Too many players at other programs doing this. This isn’t an accident. This isn’t a character or integrity issue. If one player does it here and there then ok. But multiple players for multiple teams doing this is suspect AF. Also the teams that this happens to are the teams where the bags flow like water.
We aren’t talking chump change. These guys are leaving and risking millions of dollars.
Think about it this way. Leatherwood was on the field and saw Tua screaming and then getting airlifted to a hospital and maybe having his career come to an end or cut short. Yet he and others on his team are staying.
Other teams give steroids, bags, and incentives to day one pics to stay and we can’t even break off undraftable dudes for a year.
I guarantee you it’s way more expensive to keep leatherwood on the team than bandy and Jeff Thomas. No way we come back like this.
Sht like this is the nail in the coffin. We are not on the same playing field. Not even in the same galaxy.
We can’t pay them enough to come here and not pay them enough to stay.

Insurance policies have really changed the way smart players make a decision.

You've come a long way as a poster, nysom.


Last year at this time your thread would have been about this guy's last name. If we can get this kind of year over year improvement from Manny Diaz then we just might compete for the Coastal Division next season.
 
Bama this year, Clemson two years ago. Kids have a shot at a title while opting into that 4th year player option for a nice little pay day.

Norvell getting Marv to come back is what is really crazy.

A kid who did not get an offer from Iowa or Iowa State. That tells you all you needed to know. There aren't enough football players in Iowa to pass on an instate kid who can play at the P5 level.
 
Bama picked up the 4th year option on his contract. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Look bros, some of you fancy yourself as moral men and I understand that but the only way this stops is for a bunch of these Baga/SEC (and Clemson) kids to suffer career threatening or at minimum draft stock devastating injuries when they do this. Only then will it eventually leak out through bitterness at what was said and done to keep 1st round picks playing for "free".

So I, a man devoid of a soul, wish for that. For the sake of what little competitive balance still remains in college football.
