What isn't a straight NIL recruitment these days?

Red flag. Time to move on. Not a fit!

I stand corrected after learning that Camara advised the schools ahead of his decision being released to the public.

Is he a walk in starter? I’d pass on high NIL offensive lineman if they aren’t kelvin banks level. 

I don't think many kids are Kelvin Banks level. That dude came in late, took the starting job and was one of the best T's in college ball for 3 years straight.

Serious question for y’all - in today’s NIL world, what kind of money do you think Texas legend Steve McMichael would’ve pulled down? With his game, his personality, and that larger‑than‑life presence, would Mongo have been a seven‑figure NIL guy?

I was on campus at the same time - he wasn't "Mongo" until later with the Bears, his college nickname was "Bam Bam" after the club wielding wild child in the Flintstone's show.  The possibilities of tie-ins with Hanna Barbera were probably endless.

Seriously he was an All America by his senior year so would have likely gotten top rate for a DL

This kid’s circle is doing him zero favors in terms of his future and personal development, but they will certainly line their own pockets nicely here.  

Camara will be spoken of like the Dutch Tulip market of the 1600s.  Intentionally creating a highly speculative bubble that eventually bursts.
