There's no question about it. His "trainer" has been at the forefront of his entire recruitment, publicly and behind the scenes. These days with all the money freely being thrown around, I can't really knock a kid for having a front man for the negotiations. Pick your poison, a street level trainer personally invested or a suited up sports agent.
Also not gonna trash the kid for doing what he believes is best for him. As a man who enjoys his freedom to do what he pleases without being concerned about how others feel about it, It would be hypocritical to do so.
Other side of the coin, there is still a right and wrong way to go about enjoying that freedom. Sometimes you make bad decisions or,at the very least, decisions that are disrespectful or against basic human decency. Bailing on St Augs the week the season began lacked class particularly when you know it's a subject that's been publicly discussed for months. That's my problem. Character is a whole sum game not just your good or bad traits. In this instance character is lacking. No harm in calling that out. Doesn't mean the kid lacks overall character. That's to be determined. He is just 16-17. I'm thankful my character isn't fully judged by how I was at that age.
The 1 year wonder being crowned the greatest thing ever is a discussion for another day. Careful with those expectations. You're bound to be disappointed.

I’m hearing already got 1.3M from Oregon.

Link ? It's this type of rumor mongering that makes a recruitment like this turn sour.

Shea said he was ineligible his freshman year. So he has played 1 total year of high school football, which was his sophomore year.

meaning, even if he reclassifies, don't expect to see him in any great capacity before 2026. Kid will have played one year of high school football. Kyle Trask, for example never started in high school his entire 4 years, and he didn't get a snap at Florida until his 3rd year (redshirt sophomore), and he was still the backup that year.

Stewart's position is based more on physical traits and techniques, so he wont take that long, but im sure he's going to need an entire year bulking and practicing before he gets on the field.

Hey may have gotten an NIL offer from them in that range but he hasn’t “already got” 1.3 MIL from anyone

Serious question - do you think people bullshitting on a message board about NIL deals actually affect a recruit's school choice?

Somebody is coming along and downvoting all of my posts

Karr

Nope. Do i think spreading rumors can turn a fanbase against a recruit, causing them to shite talk their parents or whoever on a message board, or twitter or social media, which can affect a recruits school choice ?
It's actually happened, so yeah.

Serious question - do you think people spouting off bullshite rumors has any affect on a recruits school choice ? It can, and has.
