Said it’s 50/50 OU or A&M but this recruitment won’t be over till December.
LSU is trying to get him to a game and so is Texas.

At what point do these bidding wars get so out of hand that some of these schools can only shell out for a few big guys in the class and the rest start to fall off?
ETA: Also, Oklahoma? Under that cokehead?

Imagine wanting to go live in College Station or Norman Oklahoma when your family is less than an hour from Baton Rouge. And both those teams are coming off awful years.

That’s the biggest oddball
He’s all about education and proximity yet goes to OU?

Its why NIL was short sighted for the majority of college athletes. Only the stars will get the money. Id bet you see less money given for athletic scholarships in the future so donors can give more money to collectives and such to buy the big stars.

People will never learn. Happens in the pro game all the time too where teams just don’t learn their lesson and get desperate.

Two teams that will have a different coach, within the next 2 years. OU has one of the easiest schedules in the country this year, yet they could still go 8-4. The following year, they will likely go 7-5 at best. We all know about Jimbo, and the dumpster fire he’s running in College Station. I don’t understand it, but it is what it is.

Project P glad I'm not the only one who's noticed that Venables is coked out.....

Kid won’t get developed at A&M. He has great potential but is not elite right now by any means. Even if he chose LSU I think he’d need a red shirt.

Fong'd to 8&4

I mean, you can't worry about a kid with this level of decision making skills. Whoever is recruiting him won't even be there in a year or two and he'll be in the portal.
Get that bag young man.

Hope he enjoys mediocrity the next 3-4 years.

If he's going to either it's about money and nothing else. Fisher will be gone at TAMU as soon as money allows it for them and Ven team was fricking awful last season to the point he might be on the hot seat this year. He's a good DC but he's not really HC material which is why he sat under Dabo so long.

I’m gonna laugh if he ends up at Aggie

What a wild turn. Texas thought they had him.

We have seen this play out in the NFL where the collective bargaining agreements favor the big stars and the league has gotten progressively younger with the rest of the roster.

Texas thought they had McKinley and Mack. We still need Texas, Florida, and A$M to look terrible this year. I’d like to start plucking guys off their commitment list, especially if we look really good.

The opposite was arguably worse with guys like Jamarcus Russell and Sam Bradford getting massive contracts without having done a single thing in the NFL. It used to be that if you missed on a top 10 QB you had a big hole to climb out of to fix your mistake.
The difference with NIL and the NFL, however, is the length of contracts. In the NFL owners are locked into a multi-year deal. With NIL, the payors aren't. You'll often hear this player or that player received a $500k, $1.3M NIL deal when, in reality, that an estimated number spread out over the course of 3-4 years. The reality is the player is getting less money on what amounts to a "one year" contract. Often less than that because a Texas booster isn't going to sign a multi-year NIL contract only to still be on the hook to pay a guy who transferred to Oklahoma after one season.
Texas and Texas A&M have a ton of money to offer. From their perspective they will pay a ton to sign a recruit because it is really just a one year investment. If the kid is great, the booster will re-up or renegotiate. If not, they are really all that concerned with him transferring.
From the player's perspective they are taking the big initial payday with the understanding they have the leverage to "renegotiate" the following season as a "free agent"
