Can't wait for his 10th season, because he was around for the covid bonus thread next year.


I think he’s in the double bonus

I actually feel sorry for him.

Nine years ago he was a blue chip prospect from an elite high school football factory headed down the road to play for Clay Helton. USC was coming off an 11 win season with high expectations going forward.

No doubt at the time he believed a long career was ahead of him, and envisioned himself still playing football in 2026.

No way you could have ever convinced him it would be for the Montana Grizzlies

This is why the NCAA gets sued so much. When you give this many exclusions and waivers, you open yourself up for lawsuits.

I was half kidding but why is it worse to go make $50,000 in the g league than spending NINE seasons in college?

It’s all arse cheeks. The Bediako stuff was a disgrace. But there are barely rules anymore.

Good.

Anything that increases the absurdity of the situation college sports is in serves to accelerate its demise. Hate on Bama all you want with the recent bball issue, but it serves a purpose. I hope the NBA player who recently sued wins so he can come back to play.

9 years is too damn long but I prefer this to the mercs who transfer every year. Only been at two schools and has a masters. Can't imagine he's getting much NIL at Montana.

Wasn't this dude retired from the Military on pension before he suited up for the Gamecocks?
