The ole “friend of a friend heard about it” huh? Lol. Well without being an alumnus with inside intel it looks completely possible for us ti sign 4-6 five star kids and end up with a top 3 class. This is of course all because of NIL. Just as A&M took advantage last year we are obviously doing the same thing. It’s amazing for us and college football in general to get some more of those elite kids to choose schools other than Bama and Georgia. Eventually Bama and Georgia will jump on the NIL bandwagon and we’ll see what happens. But for now it is an incredible opportunity for us that we seem to be taking full advantage of. Give props to Danny white and Josh Heupel. Good times ahead!!!
Bama and UGA already have kids with NIL. Will they have a “collective” by next year? Most likely.
My take is this all shakes out in the long run. A good athlete is going to get a a quality NIL deal at any of the traditional powerhouse schools. Just like they always were under the table.
This QB that is supposedly getting some huge pay day could have gotten the same deal at 10-15 other schools. He picked TN because Liked the coaches and and the atmosphere.
It will all shake out in the end. Same as it ever was but out in the open.
