Here's the REAL DEAL
and i'm a diehard Tigers fan

IF HE WERE YOUR KID... PUT THIS IN YOUR HEAD

1) Grew up NOT Rich (not saying poor)
2) 5* athlete, played every game, but not able to PUSH THE OTHER GUYS OUT
3) Paid via NIL likely 50k (maybe $100k)
4) ANOTHER SCHOOL COMES AT YOU w a figure 4-5 TIMES THAT AMOUNT (is the real issue here)

PUT IT IN YOUR PERSONAL SPOT
You have a job you love and you are making $50k a year
Someone Recruits you w a starting salary of $250k a year

You tell your son, take the $$$$$ especially if it is a team on the RISE or is already there
He signs w Bama or MORE LIKELY KIFFEN (my guess)
Kiffin needs a NEW QB and he can pitch HEARD WILL BE HIS BLIND SIDE PROTECTOR

My Guess in a week, he'll sign w Ole Piss

****UNLESS LSU ANTE's up

you don't skip bowl practice and then... a frigging bowl game... a GAME... and expect anyone to ante up.

That's the worst negotiating tactic ever to get someone to "ante up" because guess what, it is NIL- it isn't up to LSU. It takes working some donors and outside parties to get it lined up. So you don't get something on demand so you bail on a bowl game, where the future players get their first shot, and expect someone from outside the "official" program to look at that and say 'hell yeah, that's the guy I'd like to throw money at- the one sitting on his phone from his couch in Monroe; he's who I want as my poster child".
