Yeah, and schools like big budgets like LSU are driving up the prices. Bigger budgets, bigger payouts.

I still don’t understand why Adams is leaving us. Surefire starter next year.

Just put a cap on the positions


As long as California is a state and part of the American judiciary, a salary cap will be struck down.

Pay him more than anyone else offers. He would be major upgrade at most important position on line. Nobody needs him more than us.

The best thing that could happen for the future of college football is that no one give him what he’s asking for.

Agreed. Like they did with Niko. Send him packing. Although someone will pay him.

Well if you give the best guy whatever dollar amount he's asking for, you're not going to have any money left over for bodies.

Moscona said this morning that he was asking for more than Tenner wanted to pay. Guess he undersold that.

Tennessee guys reported yesterday the demands were to play LT only and 4 mil(from 2 of their sites). I didnt believe the number but did the rest based on what happened here. Apparently that number might be closer than I thought.
My initial thought is LT or 4 mil to move over was the decision. Tennessee said no to both. Purely speculative.
I personally think the kid could help us but not at that price. Only positive of the price is he is almost guaranteed to be a 1 more year guy putting that $ back in play for 26 recruiting/retention efforts.

The silver lining for the Vols in losing Heard is that Tennessee should have more cash to spend on other positions in the transfer portal


What a ridiculous reality we are now living in when it comes to college sports

aa are 90% of the kids we bring on. If he can contribute, and we can afford him, you get him.

That very well could be the case. The guy who gave me the info in a former coach of his and he could be off with the 1.5M ask. Knowing the little bit that I do about Lance, the 4M sounds like some shite he would demand. The kid is extremely irrational
