It would be interesting to see the terms of the contract from April, 2023 to see if they were within the THEN governing NIL regulations of the NCAA. I’m not concerned about the financial terms as much as if there was anything that encouraged him to return to Ohio State for the 2023 season (which was a surprise to everyone). Not that anything would ever be pursued by the NCAA enforcement at this point, but the NIL regulations back then were more restrictive on the student athlete (prior to the Tennessee and UVA lawsuits). Judging by the article, this may simply be a case of getting bad advice from a parent-as-agent. Harrison, Sr. has a record of doing not so smart things.

Simple Simon says the commit will be….🤔

The reason Oregon hired Rashaad Samples is to get Duncanville athletes to consider Oregon. Current Duncanville athletes are going to visit and consider Oregon out of respect for Reginald Samples (their head coach). It’s pretty simple. That said, no Duncanville athlete is going to actually sign with Oregon simply to please their high school football coach.

Thanks for this gift, Damonic and Uncle Cordell. And for saving us $1.2M in the process!! 😂

What about a Grad Transfer possibility? They don’t have to go through the normal Portal process, IIRC? Maybe someone graduated this week, and has a year of eligibility left and can transfer right in?

Portal or high school recruit?

Yep, that was against USC when Sam rolled right and threw back to a wide open Brewer in the left corner of the end zone. Man, I thought we were gonna steal that game.

In the late 1980s and into the early 1990s, Plano High, Lewisville, and Plano East were in the same district. Allen was eventually added to the district. Plano and Lewisville were beasts back then (each winning multiple state championships in the decade 1985-1996), and PESH and Allen were programs on the rise. Allen took over in the early 2000s and has won several state championships since.

IMG was founded by Mike McCormick, one of the most powerful agents in sports (now deceased). IMG was originally founded for those athletes who could afford elite academy-level training, nutrition, development, etc. in a specific sports (tennis, golf, gymnastics, etc). It expanded from there to include hoops and football. As mentioned above, they now subsidize athletes whose families can’t otherwise afford the cost of professional development. And, yes, McCormick’s original vision for IMG was that his sports marketing firm would be the agency representing these athletes in the professional careers, so that was the upside payoff.

Texas up to 10 players drafted half way through the 6th round. Rooting for JWhitt to make it 11.

I boldly predict that Quinn Ewers will be the first pick in the 2025 draft…by the Atlanta Falcons 😀

Yes, but I think they effectively trap doored him in the 2023 class. Jimbo got the early commit from Bowen, but seemed to slow communications with him over time as David Hicks (5-star DT) signed up, and particularly after the glut of 5-star DTs they already had from the buying spree in 2022 (Nolen, Stewart, GBD, Overton, Lucas).

Well, at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, they have a section on the best rivalries in college football, and they offered: Texas - OU Michigan - OSU Army - Navy Alabama - Auburn ND - USC Stanford - Cal Grambling - Southern

Davis led the Pac-12 in PBUs and PDs last season. Was 2nd team All-Pac12 as a sophomore. PFF ranked him the #4 returning Corner in college football for the upcoming season. Played for Nansen, from SoCal, recruited by Nansen. Probable worth keeping an eye on.

I would guess that KJ has a lot to think about right now.
