I think Beale is going to Arkansas.

Also 4 more DL is a lot. But I’d like Thomas, Whitley, and Quinn.

Literally millions of dollars if he gets hurt playing meaningless high school football when he would likely be our starter THIS season were he on the team.

Not sure how much money you think college players are actually getting. David will get strong NIL regardless. Should he not play college ball in his last year bc he risks getting hurt at a lower level than the NFL...

1. He won’t get “strong NIL” regardless if he suffers a major injury in high school.

2. He could also a) start earning NIL earlier and b) start his NFL clock a year earlier if he reclassified.

Are you asking me if I think he should leave for the NFL as soon as he can (post junior season) because he risks getting hurt in college? Because yes, absolutely he should. Do you disagree?

1.) So all top prospects should just sit out of high school now bc they COULD get hurt??
2.) He is allowed to make NIL right now and has a partnership with Phenom Elite I'm pretty sure.

My point on the last part was should he skip playing his draft year bc he could get hurt there or does playing for Tennessee make it the exception to skipping seasons bc you could get hurt and there is more money on the way soon...

Reclassifying for anyone has rarely been productive and David is still cleaning things up and polishing his game as does any teenage football player. There's no point to rush someone along just to fill a need. He's getting a lot better with pass pro and potential screen ability with the staff at Baylor, just let the kid develop naturally lol

We’ll have to agree to disagree here

Selfishly, it would potentially be good for UT if he reclassifies.

From this kids life perspective, money isn’t everything. You only get to experience growing up, high school and all that goes along with it one time. I wouldn’t be in a rush to grow up.
