Disappointing Recruits

[Sofa King Lucky]

In the age of NIL, I'm curious what happens if a recruit has committed to a school but then has a disastrous senior year of high school. Would the offer/commitment have to be honored, or can an offer be rescinded?

Ohio State and Texas just cut one each ... both had deals on some level. Definitely happens

Also happens once they get on campus and don’t warrant the salary they’re getting. See: WR room.

Yep to all the above.

Does the same go for their time on campus? If i a guy doesn’t play up to the type of NIL money he is getting

Probably wasting several million on 4 freshmen that aren't playing and several likely to enter portal.

I thought Ffrench would be a starter by November. Missed it by that much.

I thought either Ffrench or Lockett would pass up Parker Livingstone and have more catches than him by the end of the season. 

So far it's PL 21 - frosh WRs 10 (Lockett (3), Ffrench (1) and McCutcheon (6)).  Glad I didn't find any takers for THAT bet.

It has been said every season how hard WR is to learn in Sark’s offense and outside of Xavier Worthy, because we had no choice, freshman don’t play hardly at all. D-Mo was also an anomaly in that regard bc Whittington had to be protected but still don’t recall him having a crazy amount of catches or anything. Let’s just see how they look next year. I have a feeling they will ALL produce on a decent level next year, well, Lockett, Ffrench and McCutcheon anyway.

Yes. They made room for Micah Smith

It was more than Friday night on the field performance, unfortunately.
