re: Damonic Williams decision day. Looks like LSU is out due to NIL...

Ketch is an absolute retard but this is what he wrote this morning. If he is actually looking for a bigger NIL deal than Walter Nolen that is insane. He's a good player but he's not on that level

Good luck to the young man but he’s missing a chance to get coached up by the best -Bo Davis

I mean it very simply comes down to this.

If the kid was all about maximizing his potential and putting himself in the best position to be drafted next year, you go to the guy that's known for getting DTs in the league.

Nothing wrong with just wanting a NIL payday, but if it's about becoming the best player he can be then there's really no question where he would go.

Never underestimate the recruiting prowess of Bo Davis.

He's a much better coach than recruiter

Billy just said it likely won’t be LSU. OU or Texas.

Where’s Iota at?

Liar

I just think players this young need to have some type of education on NIL or whatever it is. Everyone should! Schools included. We need the same rules to apply for everyone and there be no huge monetary advantage for the schools actually playing for championships. Make it where the player can make his money up front but then also make his own money off of his name and playing ability. If they do it this way, it’ll be just like it was before, except it’s out in the open and all players can make a little money to play football.

IMO it’s not good for the players who are young and can be manipulated by money signs. Then they mature and realize they made a mistake. That sets everyone back and isn’t good for the sport or the players. Put price tags on the initial money for each position. Now if that player makes a few million because he’s a great player and advocate for himself then so be it. You can’t do a thing about that. But everyone should have a fair chance to land any of these guys and all be on the same playing field.

No team should be able to offer 10million for each position player where these other teams can only offer 2 million. I’m just using any number. It should be maxed for QB position at 1.5 million, RB 750k, DL 1.2 million and so on. Now not every team will be able to offer that but at least it’s much more balanced that way. Maybe team A already has 3 solid QBs and doesn’t feel any of the QBs are worth that and they rather wait for the portal to get an experienced QB and will offer them 1 million. That will be up to the teams needs and evaluation.

Each team only has up to 25 million to spend each year. They have to figure out where they want to spend that money and on who. That way no team can simply max out every position player. Everyone has a shot at the player and the player now isn’t pressured to simply take the money, they have to make a real decision for themselves. That’s the best way to handle this imo. Clean, professional as possible, everyone makes money, everyone is even, everyone has a chance and it takes the pressure off of the players to simply take money.

You can actually build a team like this and keep your players happy. Maybe even do like a freshman/rookie payment where the freshman aren’t paid as much up front until they actually perform. That’s how the pros do it. Rookies don’t get the money that the proven players do. It needs to be merit based on both sides and equality for all teams/players in the big conferences. If Texas or A&M sucks, they shouldn’t be able to just buy their way to the top. If I don’t perform at work, I don’t get rewarded, but I should also be given a chance to develop my skills, perform and then get rewarded. Not quit my job or get fired immediately because I either wasn’t paid enough or was paid too much to start with.

That's way too much money and super desperate. I know the going rate was said to be $750k. If they lose this one then it's all in on Barrow.

Come eat your crow Iota
