Not to be a sky screamer but that is genuinely bad. Bowers is a piece of shite and I don't need piece of shite Ole Miss alumni getting into the ear (financially) of the no. 1 player in the country in my backyard.

I still think we ultimately get Haven, but it's unfortunate that an LSU alum couldn't get something like this done sooner.

What does this even mean? Does he have to sign with a specific school his senior year? If not, this is just pissing money in to the wind. Why would they want to waste money like this with no contract or ability to enforce where he signs?

If you buy from bowers, you are supporting ole miss. Consider that with future purchases

Clearly the response is don’t buy cars from the Matt Bowers auto group in LA.

By the time he gets to his senior year BK probably won’t be here anyway!

No, they are getting their foot in the door early on the #1 QB in the country. Whether or not it pays off, time will tell. Bryce Underwood was wearing a $15k LSU chain on his visit. That was some LSU booster pissing money into the wind.

No NIL deal has the ability to enforce where a player signs or plays...

I remember when people said high school players wouldn’t get NIL deals because it was all about branding and definitely not about pay for play

“He has received scholarship offers from many of the nation’s top college football programs, including Ole Miss, LSU, Michigan, Florida, Miami and others.”

Looks like Matt Bowers wrote up the release himself
