And so it begins: opting out Senior year of HS

Not LSU related but signals a huge issue in recruiting.

Just at a loss now. I categorically disagree with this.

Next HS players will want to get paid.

If I were Texas I’d be having some second thoughts about this offer.

Colleges will have to state in their offer letter that the offer is valid if the player sticks with all of senior year.
Wait till 4 stars’ teams are 3-6 and have two games left, knowing they aren’t making the playoffs.

Not surprised at all. Everything is about me and my brand instead of team now. Sad because some of my greatest memories are from my senior football season.

Wow
frick that

FWIW Rivals editors don't think this will become a trend. Let's hope not...

I wanted this guy with Moss. Not now.

Unless you are a freak athlete, skills wise and physically, I can't see how a year off from organized football helps you in any way going to the next level. This won't happen much, I feel.

You had to know this was coming. I figured this was inevitable. Once kids get committable offers, why should they play?
That’s the mentality of people now. Do as little as possible. Got that draft projection locked in, sit out
Get that scholarship offer, sit out
Will not be surprised to see this crap trickle down even more to juniors or sophomores in high school

Don't we live in a free market society?
Children are able to make money and work in any number of occupations. Does anyone disagree with this? What is the age that someone should be and not be able to earn money?
There is so much money in sports. Currently, the money gets to these kids anyway in illicit ways. Now, it is out in the open and authorized. Taxes are paid. The free market works best when things are out in the open and information is equal to all parties involved. More of the money will get to the producers. The NCAA, coaches, schools, etc. make the vast majority of the money off of these kids now.
I don't see this as a negative for college basketball. In fact, if more of the players who would opt out after a year or two go directly to pro ball, it may mean there are more 3 and 4 year players in college. I think that this could be a net positive for quality team play in college basketball.
I'm happy that these kids can make money off of their talents. Most of them choosing this path are not getting their college degree anyway.

And if the school's feel like it's a problem, they can start pulling offers. Which they won't.

you mean colleges......
this will scar those HS with elite talent. granted, maybe just make for more parity. what it will do for the top talent is water down the sense of team further.
the world is changing. much of it lately seems for the worse.

If they are big time five stars they may as well sit out their jr and sr year in hs and 3 yrs in college and just train for the combine. They are making business decisions by the way, what if they get hurt?

His future can depend entirely on a full ride scholarship
If he destroys his knee during his high school senior season, that can be in jeopardy
Stop treating these kids like livestock. They were given a great amount of athletic ability. They should do whatever they can to use that to ensure future success.. if that’s through athletics or through a degree, they decide how they want to greater their odds
It baffles me how old arse boomers are offended by stuff like this

It could mean that College Football will get fresher players in the ranks. Most times 3-5 star athletes are playing both ways in high school. Hypothetically speaking what if you take the LF high school hits away from him. That may equal an extra NFL season long term. I think the running back position is unique because once you hit 30 yrs old production falls off.

What a terrible take
He already secured a scholarship to UT. That alone could do more for him than most high school kids in this country.

What an overreaction to a kid looking out for his future. A scholarship offer is just that, an OFFER. Until he signs his letter of intent, he could go from playing at UT without an injury, to playing at north Texas with an injury
