I thought I read Zavion was given a big NIL deal this year at MSU. Do they have to pay that back?
NIL deals cannot be incentive-based on playing performance. So i'd say no.

Sheppard is a stud. Both would be solid additions and much needed.
I was looking at his stats and noticed the majority of his yards came in the non-conference. 25% of his SEC receiving yards came on one play.
Yes I know Vandy sucks.

Even Aaron Anderson could be a contributor, plus this year’s freshmen like Sampson and Brown

I agree. All those guys are ones that can step up.

This must mean Brian Thomas has a very favorable grade from the NFL.
I would be stunned if he doesn't. He's also likely looking at a dropoff at QB if he returns, so he may want to strike while the iron is hot.

I think LSU needs to bring in one portal WR, but I'm not sure I think it's a good idea to bring in two.
I understand that we may not necessarily be fully confident in our WR corps as it would stand after the addition of one clear starter via the portal, but bringing in two guys risks handicapping the long-term potential of the room by prompting guys to leave.
There's definitely circumstances under which it makes sense to recruit over top of the guys on your roster, but I'm not convinced this is one of those circumstances. For one, this was a VERY highly rated group out of HS. For two, even if the WR room isn't necessarily ideal entering next year, it's at least got highly talented guys in it who can hold down the fort. And for three, the current group of rising sophomore WRs projects to be one of strengths of the roster going forward; I'm not sure that's worth trading for anything short of two surefire stars. That's even more true when you factor in how razor thin the incoming WR class is. We're gonna NEED this big group of rising sophomores to hold down the position for at least one more season after next year.
Bottom line: Unless we're extremely confident that these guys are legit studs, this feels like a move where we're potentially trading upside for certainty. I'm not sure I like that.

I vaguely recall someone stating that NIL deals could not be contingent on attendance at a specific school.
They can't. They're not in any way allowed to be tied to attendance at or performance for a particular school. However, it's not hard at all to get around that. For example, if a kid had an NIL deal with a car dealership that unofficially required him to attend Miss St., that unofficial requirement could be enforced by requiring a weekly in-person "marketing" appearance at the actual dealership in Starkville. Doesn't technically require anything in regards to a particular university, but it's gonna be pretty hard to satisfy the contract if you're living in Baton Rouge.

Fair catching makes perfect sense when you have Jayden Daniels and this offense. Just get the ball and hand it to Jayden . Next year a return game would be nice.

Who is regulating this? The only thing I’ve heard is state laws. Is this some NCAA last gasp? Courts would eat this clause alive.
